20100161342 | CODING APPARATUS AND METHOD, DECODING APPARATUS AND METHOD, AND PROGRAM STORAGE MEDIUM - In order to obtain coded data which does not strike viewers and listeners as being incongruous, when plural audio data are to be coded, a coding program groups the respective audio data into one audio data, codes the grouped audio data in sequence with a predetermined number of samples being treated as units, and sets delimitations corresponding to the delimitations of the plural audio data in the coded data at coding units of the coded data. | 06-24-2010 |
20100272415 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD, AND PROGRAM STORAGE MEDIUM - In an information processor having a function to check out a content to a portable device such as a portable disc player, a content is recorded to a content data base under the control of a content management program, and it is set under the control of a display/operation instruction program whether the recorded content has to be checked out to the portable device. If a content is recorded in case it has been set that the content has to be checked out, the content having been recorded in the content data base is checked out to the portable device. | 10-28-2010 |
20100275127 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND ASSOCIATED METHOD OF CONTENT EXCHANGE - An information processor such as a personal computer is provided. A terminal is operably linked to the information processor to check out or to check in content to/from the terminal. A device driver detects that a portable device is connected to the information processor and when the device driver detects that the portable device is connected to the information processor, a start-up program reads contents-related data from the portable device and starts up a display/operation instruction program to provide a display corresponding to the data accessed from the terminal. | 10-28-2010 |
20110072057 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD, AND PROGRAM STORAGE MEDIUM - In an information processor which records many contents or has many contents already recorded therein, and can generate an arbitrary combination of the contents, a weight is computed for each of the contents based on either data stored in a history data file ( | 03-24-2011 |
20110295396 | CONTROL DEVICE, CONTROL METHOD, AND PROGRAM - The present invention relates to a control device, a control method, and a program capable of improving operability with a simpler configuration. | 12-01-2011 |
20130124214 | SIGNAL PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD, AND PROGRAM - A method, system, and computer program product for processing an encoded audio signal is described. In one exemplary embodiment, the system receives an encoded low-frequency range signal and encoded energy information used to frequency shift the encoded low-frequency range signal. The low-frequency range signal is decoded and an energy depression of the decoded signal is smoothed. The smoothed low-frequency range signal is frequency shifted to generate a high-frequency range signal. The low-frequency range signal and high-frequency range signal are then combined and outputted. | 05-16-2013 |
20130144982 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND ASSOCIATED METHOD OF CONTENT EXCHANGE - A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium is provided for storing computer program instructions that cause a computer to implement a method of exchanging content. The method includes connecting to an information processing apparatus, and transferring a ID of the computer to the information processing apparatus when a connection to the information processing apparatus is detected. The method further includes storing content and data related to the content transmitted from the information processing apparatus, transferring the data corresponding to the content stored in the computer, and reproducing the stored content. The content is automatically transferred to the computer when the computer is judged to be a predetermined device. | 06-06-2013 |
20130275142 | SIGNAL PROCESSING DEVICE, METHOD, AND PROGRAM - The present technology relates to a signal processing device, method, and program that may obtain audio at a higher audio quality when decoding an audio signal. | 10-17-2013 |
20140006037 | ENCODING DEVICE, ENCODING METHOD, AND PROGRAM | 01-02-2014 |
20140079373 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD, AND PROGRAM STORAGE MEDIUM - In an information processor having a function to check out a content to a portable device such as a portable disc player, a content is recorded to a content data base under the control of a content management program, and it is set under the control of a display/operation instruction program whether the recorded content has to be checked out to the portable device. If a content is recorded in case it has been set that the content has to be checked out, the content having been recorded in the content data base is checked out to the portable device. | 03-20-2014 |
20140156289 | DECODING DEVICE, DECODING METHOD, ENCODING DEVICE, ENCODING METHOD, AND PROGRAM - The present technique relates to a decoding device, a decoding method, an encoding device, an encoding method, and a program which can obtain a high-quality realistic sound. | 06-05-2014 |
20140172433 | ENCODING DEVICE, ENCODING METHOD, AND PROGRAM - This technology relates to an encoding device, an encoding method, and a program capable of improving audio quality and more efficiently encoding audio. A first high-frequency encoding circuit encodes a high-frequency range based on a low-frequency subband signal and a high-frequency subband signal and obtains a high-frequency code amount. A low-frequency encoding circuit encodes a low-frequency signal with a code amount determined by the high-frequency code amount and a low-frequency decoding circuit decodes the encoded low-frequency signal. A subband dividing circuit divides a decoded low-frequency signal obtained by decoding into decoded low-frequency subband signals of a plurality of subbands and a second high-frequency encoding circuit generates a high-frequency code string such that a code amount of the high-frequency code string for obtaining a high-frequency component is not larger than the high-frequency code amount based on the decoded low-frequency subband signals and the high-frequency subband signals. The present invention is applicable to the encoding device. | 06-19-2014 |
