20120188340 | CONTENT DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM, PLAYBACK APPARATUS, DISTRIBUTION SERVER, PLAYBACK METHOD, AND DISTRIBUTION METHOD - A content distribution system capable of playing back a stream without missing out an initial frame. The content distribution system includes a distribution server and a playback apparatus. The distribution server transmits a video stream and an initial frame state flag indicating whether an initial frame of the video stream is a 3D video frame or a 2D video frame. Receiving the video stream and the initial frame state flag, the playback apparatus determines whether the initial frame is a 3D video frame or a 2D video frame by using the initial frame state flag and sets, prior to decoding the video stream, an output mode to be applied to the initial frame to a 3D output mode when the initial frame is a 3D video frame and to a 2D output mode when the initial frame is a 2D video frame. | 07-26-2012 |
20120294587 | CONTENT DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM, PLAYBACK DEVICE, DISTRIBUTION SERVER, PLAYBACK METHOD, AND DISTRIBUTION METHOD - To provide a content distribution system which inhibits execution of processing which is unnecessary for streams having specific structures. The content distribution system includes a distribution server and a playback apparatus. The distribution server transmits a program stream and a program state flag associated with the program stream that indicates whether or not program content corresponding to the program stream is constituted of only 3D video. The playback apparatus determines, prior to decoding the program stream, whether or not the program state flag indicates that the program content is constituted of only 3D video, and when determining that the program content is constituted of only 3D video, decodes the program stream and performs control so as to play back the program stream as 3D video without determining whether or not each frame included in the program stream is a 3D video frame. | 11-22-2012 |
20130339874 | DATA PROCESSING DEVICE, DATA TRANSMISSION DEVICE, DATA PROCESSING SYSTEM, DATA PROCESSING METHOD, AND DATA TRANSMISSION METHOD - Provided is a data processing device including: an acquisition unit which acquires a message and a threshold amount of time for the message; a display unit which displays the message; a user interface which receives instructions for selection of the displayed message; and a management unit which manages the message as a read message, irrespective of whether the user interface has received the instructions, when a threshold amount of time has elapsed since the message is displayed on the display unit. | 12-19-2013 |
20140040751 | DATA PROCESSING DEVICE, DATA PROCESSING METHOD, AND PROGRAM - Provided is a data processing device including: a selection unit which selects a server from among a plurality of servers; an acquisition unit which acquires messages from the plurality of servers; and a display unit which display a message acquired by the acquisition unit from the server selected by the selection unit, wherein the acquisition unit acquires, before acquiring a remaining message from the server, a message from a server which is next likely to be selected by the selection unit after the server. | 02-06-2014 |
20140177646 | NETWORK TERMINAL, COMMUNICATION METHOD, AND PROGRAM - A network terminal including a communication unit for communicating with a device with which the network terminal communicates through a communication path, and a control unit for causing the communication unit, by controlling the communication unit, to transmit to the device a communication packet for maintaining the communication path at a transmission timing in every predetermined interval, wherein by controlling the communication unit, the control unit further causes the communication unit to transmit, if a terminal state of the network terminal is changed, to the device an information packet obtained by including terminal state information indicative of the terminal state in the communication packet, through the communication path even at a time different from the transmission timing. | 06-26-2014 |
20140288946 | ADVERTISEMENT TRANSLATION DEVICE, ADVERTISEMENT DISPLAY DEVICE, AND METHOD FOR TRANSLATING AN ADVERTISEMENT - An advertisement translation device is a device for translating an advertisement text displayed in a display area of a predetermined size in advertisement content, and displaying the translated advertisement text in the display area. The advertisement translation device includes: an advertisement text obtainment unit which obtains the advertisement text; a linguistic information obtainment unit which obtains linguistic information indicating a target language into which the advertisement text is to be translated; a translation unit which create translated text candidates by translating the advertisement text into the target language indicated by the linguistic information; and a selection unit which selects and outputs as a translated text, at least one of the translated text candidates a full text of which is displayable in a predetermined character size in the display area. | 09-25-2014 |
20140344840 | INFORMATION RECOMMENDATION DEVICE, INFORMATION RECOMMENDATION SYSTEM, AND INFORMATION RECOMMENDATION METHOD - An information recommendation device includes: a first evaluation unit which calculates, for each of a plurality of content items being broadcasted, a first evaluation value which is defined depending on a user; a second evaluation unit which calculates, for each of the content items, a second evaluation value which is defined based on a current reaction of public toward the content item; and a recommended program determination unit which determines a recommended content item based on the first evaluation value calculated by the first evaluation unit and the second evaluation value calculated by the second evaluation unit, the recommended content item being a content item recommended to the user for viewing. | 11-20-2014 |
20150082134 | SIGNAGE DATA INPUT DEVICE, SERVER, AND SIGNAGE DATA INPUT METHOD - A signage data input device of the present disclosure is a signage data input device which performs editing in conjunction with signage data displayed on a signage display device, the signage data input device including an item receiving unit configured to receive an editable item in conjunction with the signage data displayed on the signage display device, an editing unit configured to display an edit screen for editing the editable item and accepting edit-content information, and a change transmitting unit configured to transmit the edit-content information as an edit instruction. | 03-19-2015 |
20150088621 | INPUT DEVICE, SIGNAGE SERVER, AND INPUT METHOD - An input device of the present disclosure is an input device which performs change of a content in conjunction with a display of a content of a signage terminal, the input device including a change instructing unit configured to input a change instruction with respect to the content displayed on the signage terminal, and a transmitting unit configured to transmit a device ID, which specifies the signage terminal, and the change instruction. | 03-26-2015 |
