It is an object of the invention to time independent common times for a plurality of processing system groups, respectively. It is another object of the invention to take a synchronization in the vicinity of the start of reproduction also when a difference is made over a time taken to prepare for the processing of each processing system. Counting unit (12) manages the common times of a plurality of processing system groups (16) and (17) to time a common time for each of the processing system groups, and time supply unit (13) supplies the common time obtained by the counting of the counting unit (12) to each of processing systems (161), (162), (171) and (172). Moreover, counting control unit (14) controls to start and stop the counting based on notices given from the processing systems (161), (162), (171) and (172) of the processing system groups (16) and (17). The processing system groups (16) and (17) carry out synchronous data transmission processings with each other based on the common time supplied from the counting supply unit (13) in relation to data received from data supply unit (151) and (152). Then, the data transmitted synchronously are reproduced in data reproducing unit (181) and (182).

Provided is a remote control command setting device capable of regulating some operations while being easy to handle for children. The device reconfigures a correspondence between an operation for an operation area having multiple operation buttons arranged therein and a control command for an electric device. The device includes an operation history holding unit (180) for accumulating operation history for the operation area, a control command setting unit (200) for reconfiguring an available control command on the basis of the operation history, and an operation area setting unit (210) for reconfiguring a sub-area in the operation area on the basis of the operation history and the available control command.

A gaze target determination device includes an event setting unit that generates, for each object at different times, a display event which triggers a movement of the gaze direction of the user who is gazing at the object and which indicates a movement or a change of the object; and a gaze trajectory calculation unit that calculates a gaze trajectory based on the detected user's gaze direction. An eye movement event detection unit detects an event detection time which is a time at which the gaze direction moves according to the display event, based on the calculated gaze trajectory. A synchronization structure analysis unit calculates, for each object, time difference between the event detection time and event occurrence time; and a gaze target determination unit determines the object at which the user is gazing from among the objects, based on the calculated time difference.

A user interface device (1) includes: a detection unit (3) which detects a position of a user; a display unit (2) which displays a work space; and a control unit (4) which controls display of an independent object which belongs to no user. The control unit (4) moves the independent object in a mode which varies between when the independent object is in a face-to-face space of the display unit (2) which is face to face with the position of the user and when the independent object is outside the face-to-face space. The control unit (4) also stops the moving independent object in a workspace assigned to the user when the user obtains the independent object.
