20080305771 | MOBILE TERMINAL, AND PROGRAM AND METHOD FOR PREVENTING UNAUTHORIZED USE OF MOBILE TERMINAL - In a mobile terminal having a security function, both convenience and security protection are realized so as to prevent a user from feeling bothersome. A mobile phone has an operation control unit which sets the operation of various functions of the mobile terminal to be unusable at any timing. When a used state determination unit determines that the mobile phone is not in an abnormal state and not left, the operation control unit controls operation of the various functions to maintain usable states. | 12-11-2008 |
20100131760 | CONTENT USING SYSTEM AND CONTENT USING METHOD - For an audio-visual terminal that reproduces content, anonymity of a user is ensured while enabling reproduction of the content. A content using system of the present invention includes a communication terminal, an audio-visual terminal and a license server. The communication terminal generates an electronic ticket by providing a group sign to license information obtained from the license server. The audio-visual terminal, after verifying the group sign of the electronic ticket obtained from the communication terminal, transmits the electronic ticket to the license server. The license server judges whether or not the electronic ticket is usable, which is transmitted from the audio-visual terminal and assigns a license of the content to the audio-visual terminal when the electronic ticket is judged to be usable. The audio-visual terminal decrypts the content which is encrypted, by using a decryption key obtained based on the license, and reproduces the content. | 05-27-2010 |
20100217710 | ELECTRONIC MONEY SYSTEM AND ELECTRONIC MONEY TRANSACTION METHOD - An electronic money system is directed to avoid unauthorized use of certificate-type electronic money. The electronic money system is provided with a management server, a verification sever, a remittance terminal, and a receptor terminal. In response to a request from the remittance terminal, the management server issues an inactive electronic certificate including a certificate ID and notifies the verification server of the certificate ID. The remittance terminal gives a group signature to the inactive electronic certificate to generate an active electronic certificate. The reception terminal verifies the active electronic certificate obtained from the remittance terminal on the basis of the group signature. The verification server matches the certificate ID notified from the management server with the certificate ID included in the active electronic certificate verified by the reception terminal to verify availability of the active electronic certificate. | 08-26-2010 |
20100223187 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ELECTRONIC PAYMENT, AND SERVER, COMMUNICATION TERMINAL AND PROGRAM THEREFOR - A secure, inexpensive, convenient payment system which allows an existing communication to be used to make an expensive payment terminal unnecessary, makes local communication unnecessary to make it possible to use the system by a seller and a buyer, uses closed-loop type electronic money to make it possible to make payment on delivery is obtained.

20130314601 | INTER-VIDEO CORRESPONDING RELATIONSHIP DISPLAY SYSTEM AND INTER-VIDEO CORRESPONDING RELATIONSHIP DISPLAY METHOD - To enable a presence/absence of a modification of a source video to be readily assessed in a derived video created by utilizing the source video. Relationship information including information indicating a segment corresponding relationship between at least one source video and a derived video created by utilizing at least a part of segments of the at least one source video and information indicating a presence/absence of a modification of the source video in a segment of the derived video in which the corresponding relationship exists is stored in a relationship information storing unit, and based on the relationship information stored in the relationship information storing unit, the segment corresponding relationship between the derived video and the at least one source video is displayed in a display mode in accordance with the presence/absence of a modification of the source video in the segment of the derived video in which the corresponding relationship exists. | 11-28-2013 |
20130322696 | DIFFERING REGION DETECTION SYSTEM AND DIFFERING REGION DETECTION METHOD - The present invention enables detection of a local differing region between images. Inter-image difference information indicating a difference in feature amounts for each subregion between first and second images is generated based on a first feature amount vector that is a set of feature amounts respectively corresponding to a plurality of subregions in the first image and a second feature amount vector that is a set of feature amounts respectively corresponding to a plurality of subregions in the second image, a differing region that is an image region that differs between the first and second images is detected based on differences in the respective subregions indicated by the inter-image difference information, and detection information that indicates a result of the detection is outputted. | 12-05-2013 |
20140019594 | VIDEO PROCESSING SYSTEM, VIDEO CONTENT MONITORING METHOD, VIDEO PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD OF THE APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM STORING CONTROL PROGRAM OF THE APPARATUS - A system of this invention is a video processing system for determining details of a browsable video content. This video processing system includes a video fragment download unit that downloads data of a video fragments in a determination target video content via a network, and a first video content determination unit that determines the details of the video content based on the downloaded data of the video fragments. With this arrangement, it is possible to determine the details of a browsable video content while reducing the amount of data to be downloaded. | 01-16-2014 |
20140023343 | VIDEO PROCESSING SYSTEM AND VIDEO PROCESSING METHOD, VIDEO PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD OF THE APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM STORING CONTROL PROGRAM OF THE APPARATUS - A system of this invention is a video processing system for detecting a change of a capturing target based on a video whose capturing range changes. This video processing system includes a capturing unit that captures the video whose capturing range changes, a feature extractor that extracts a frame feature of each frame from the captured video, a feature storage that stores, for each frame, the frame feature extracted by the feature extractor, a frame searcher that searches for a frame, a frame feature of which is stored in the feature storage, having a capturing range matching that of the newly captured frame by comparing a frame feature of a newly captured frame with the frame features stored in the feature storage, and a change detector that detects a change of the capturing target based on a difference between the frame feature of the newly captured frame and the frame feature of the frame found by the frame searcher. With this arrangement, it is possible to detect a change of a capturing target even if the capturing range of a capturing apparatus changes every moment. | 01-23-2014 |
20140092313 | VIDEO PROCESSING SYSTEM, VIDEO PROCESSING METHOD, DATABASE FOR VIDEO PROCESSING AND GENERATING METHOD THEREOF, VIDEO PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD THEREOF AND CONTROL PROGRAM THEREOF - A video processing apparatus includes a storage unit, an input unit, and a determining unit. The storage unit stores a plurality of scenes included in a scene group and characteristic amounts which are extracted from a series of plural frames included in the respective scenes in the scene group, in association with each other, defining one scene out of the plurality of scenes included in the scene group as a typical scene and the other scenes as a derived scene, the scene group being a group of a plurality of scenes derived from a common scene. The input unit inputs a characteristic amount which is extracted from each of the frames of a new scene. The determining unit determines whether the new scene represented by the inputted characteristic amount is the derived scene of the scene group or not by verifying the inputted characteristic amount with the characteristic amount of the typical scene of the scene group stored in the storage unit. | 04-03-2014 |
