The action image shows the motion of walking toward the destination, but the display position does not change. The destination display information image is displayed in front of the action image in the advancing direction. | 10-04-2012 |
Patent application number | Description | Published |
20090106801 | CONTENT PROCESSING DEVICE AND CONTENT PROCESSING METHOD - Even when the content recording and transmitting device receives requests from content receiving and reproducing devices, the content processing device including a device contention resolving manager for resolving a device contention can resolve a contention between the content receiving and reproducing devices for the devices required for the processing to be executed according to the requests. The device contention resolving manager includes: a priority level setting unit holding base priority levels of the content receiving and reproducing devices; a priority level revision processing unit deriving the priority levels corresponding to the requests; and a device contention resolving processing unit which one of the requests to be a request to be accepted, according to a priority order of the requests assigned with the priority levels, and reproduces or transmits a content according to the determined request by using the device. | 04-23-2009 |
20090193101 | MULTIMEDIA DATA TRANSMITTING APPARATUS AND MULTIMEDIA DATA MANAGEMENT METHOD - To provide, in a multi-user environment, a multimedia data transmitting apparatus which prevents a content for which playing is paused by a user from being deleted by another user, and allows playing to be resumed. The multimedia data transmitting apparatus includes: a content managing unit which holds a content and an attribute thereof; and a judging unit which judges, when deletion of the content is requested, whether or not deletion is possible for the content, based on the attribute. The judging unit judges that deletion is possible when the attribute does not indicate either “currently played” or “playing paused”, and to judge that the deletion is not possible when the attribute indicates “currently played” or “playing paused”, and the content managing unit deletes the content when said judging unit judges that deletion is possible. | 07-30-2009 |
20110135274 | RECORDING AND REPRODUCTION APPARATUS AND RECORDING AND REPRODUCTION METHOD - In the case where plural applications are executed at the same time, if each application instructs for different trick play to the same content, a difference is caused between an ideal reproduction state expected by each application and an actual reproduction state. The present invention makes it possible to keep the reproduction state unchanged as long as normal reproduction or trick play is not accepted, by including a moving picture trick play reproduction management unit which determines, in response to an instruction for one of normal reproduction and trick play, whether or not to accept, according to a rule, the instruction, and retains details specified by the instruction in the case of accepting the instruction, and a moving picture reproduction processing unit which reproduces a moving picture based on the details retained by the moving picture trick play management unit. | 06-09-2011 |
20120256950 | MEDICAL SUPPORT APPARATUS, MEDICAL SUPPORT METHOD, AND MEDICAL SUPPORT SYSTEM - A medical support apparatus includes: an image capturing unit obtaining an image capturing signal; an attitude observing unit obtaining an attitude of the image capturing unit; a position observing unit obtaining a position of the image capturing unit; an operation detecting unit detecting an operation of the user and an operation position; a superimposed information constructing unit generating superimposed information including superimposed details and information on the operation position, according to a type of the operation; a display management unit generating an image to be displayed, based on the position and the attitude; a display unit displaying a screen on which the image generated by the display management unit is superimposed on a viewpoint image of the image capturing unit; and a communication unit transmitting the superimposed information to at least one other medical support apparatus. | 10-11-2012 |
20130156266 | FUNCTION EXTENSION DEVICE, FUNCTION EXTENSION METHOD, COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM, AND INTEGRATED CIRCUIT - An object recognition unit recognizes, from real-space video data, a body included in the video data. A function setting unit retains function information in which is prescribed a function configured from a pair of operation and processing that can be set for each type of body. In addition, the function setting unit sets, to each body recognized by the object recognition unit, a function that can be set, based on the type of each body. A selection determination unit determines a selected body selected by a user as the body to be operated among the respective bodies recognized by the object recognition unit 1101. An operation determination unit determines the operation that the user has performed on the selected body. A processing determination unit determines the processing for the operation that has been determined by the operation determination unit among the operations configuring the function set by the function setting unit. | 06-20-2013 |
