20080222528 | Information display method, information processing apparatus, and recording medium recording information display program - A method of displaying item information related to a plurality of individuals having different properties onto a screen. The method includes the steps of: obtaining information indicating equivalent time in property, which is time corresponding to a property of each individual; setting a time axis on the screen such that equivalent time in property of each individual indicated by the obtained information has the same position and the same display length, or the same position or the same display length in a time axial direction; and displaying item information related to each individual on the screen in relation to the set time axis. | 09-11-2008 |
20080222557 | Method of displaying windows and display apparatus thereof - A method of displaying windows is disclosed. The method includes, when a first and second windows are displayed on a display screen of a display at the same time and display of the second window is changed with being interlocked with the first window by operating the first window, the steps of: forming a first data table in which input and output data forms are defined with respect to the first window; forming a second data table in which data forms transmitted from the first window to the second window are defined; receiving input to the first window from a user; performing processing of the first window according to the content of the received input; transmitting information of the processing in the first window to the second window associated in advance; and performing processing according to the transmitted information in the second window which received the transmission. | 09-11-2008 |
20090097361 | CONTENT DISPLAY METHOD, A CONTENT DISPLAY APPARATUS, AND A RECORDING MEDIUM ON WHICH A CONTENT DISPLAY PROGRAM IS RECORDED - A content display method is disclosed. The content display method includes the steps of: accepting an instruction input to create a target calendar; extracting a content that indication information has to be displayed in an elapsed period having already passed and a content that indication information has to be displayed in a non-elapsed period to pass from now on in the target calendar based on the instruction input accepted through the accepting step; and arranging the indication information of each of the contents extracted in the extracting step in a corresponding date in a target calendar and displaying the target calendar on a display device. | 04-16-2009 |
20090098881 | Wireless terminal and user interface method - Communications is executed between users through wireless terminals thereof without fear of being located by each other. On terminal | 04-16-2009 |
20090131071 | Data Communication Apparatus, Data Communication Method, and Data Communication Packet - A data communication apparatus capable of creating a new type of communication is provided. Motion information obtaining means | 05-21-2009 |
20090198661 | TIME-SHIFT IMAGE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM, TIME-SHIFT IMAGE DISTRIBUTION METHOD, TIME-SHIFT IMAGE REQUESTING APPARATUS, AND IMAGE SERVER - A time-shift image distribution system includes an image server and a time-shift image requesting apparatus. The image server includes a first communication unit configured to carry out communications with the time-shift image requesting apparatus, an image database configured to store image data of captured images in association with meta information for image data of a captured image matching search-condition information, and an image providing unit configured to provide the image data of the captured image detected by the searching unit to the time-shift image requesting apparatus. The time-shift image requesting apparatus includes a second communication unit configured to carry out communications with the image server, and a unit configured to send a search request including information representing an imaging time and information for identifying a subject image as search-condition information to the image server via the second communication unit. | 08-06-2009 |
20100241960 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD - An information processing apparatus having an input configured to receive a first operation and a second operation input by a user, a playback unit configured to obtain predetermined data and play back the data based on the operation input by the user from the input; and a display control unit configured to control, in correspondence with a virtual hierarchical structure for classifying the predetermined data, a display of a display screen indicating each hierarchy level, and for controlling a display of a predetermined mark in the display screen. The display control unit also controls the display of the predetermined mark corresponding to the predetermined data which is played back by the playback unit in a manner different from other non-selected marks while the predetermined mark is being selected. | 09-23-2010 |
20100265361 | IMAGING DEVICE AND IMAGING METHOD - A imaging device includes an imaging element; a memory unit configured to temporarily store pieces of image data captured individually at predetermined timings via the imaging element; a comparator configured to compare the image data recorded in the memory unit to detect whether an image change greater than or equal to a first threshold has occurred; a determining unit configured to determine whether the image change has converged to an amount less than or equal to a second threshold by comparing the image data recorded in the memory unit when an image change greater than or equal to the first threshold has been detected; and a controller configured to exercise control so that image data captured via the imaging element is recorded on a predetermined recording medium when it is determined that the image change has converged to an amount less than or equal to the second threshold. | 10-21-2010 |
20100287202 | USER TERMINAL AND CONTENT SEARCHING AND PRESENTATION METHOD - A content searching and presentation method in a terminal of an original user having a playlist includes the steps of accessing a playlist of a different user from the terminal and obtaining the playlist of the different user; computing a similarity between the obtained playlist of the different user and the playlist of the original user, which is a playlist owned by the terminal, in accordance with a predetermined computation equation; and presenting, as a searched result, content that is contained in the playlist of the different user and that is not contained in the playlist owned by the terminal when the computed similarity exceeds a predetermined threshold value. | 11-11-2010 |
20110016149 | CONTENT USING METHOD, CONTENT USING APPARATUS, CONTENT RECORDING METHOD, CONTENT RECORDING APPARATUS, CONTENT PROVIDING SYSTEM, CONTENT RECEIVING METHOD, CONTENT RECEIVING APPARATUS, AND CONTENT DATA FORMAT - A method of using contents includes the steps of setting public time information and private time information, the public time information being associated with each content and defined universally for use by a large number of unspecified users, the private time being associated with the content and defined for use by a small number of particular persons, and searching for a content according to the public time information and/or the private time information and using the content detected in the searching. | 01-20-2011 |
