Abstract: When a user executes an operation of requesting a client terminal for starting processing, a server starts information processing of specified contents, transmitting initial output data such as an initial screen and a sound to the client terminal. The client terminal outputs the initial data and, every time the user executes an indication input such as a command input, transmits the input information concerned to the server. The server executes information processing corresponding to the input information and generates output data common to destination client terminals as basic output data and output data for each client terminal as individual output data. The client terminal decodes an image and sound data that are basic output data and synthesizes figures and sounds based on individual output data, thereby outputting the synthesized figures and sounds.

Abstract: A login controller has a function of allowing a user to log in to an information processing apparatus. A sign-in controller has a function of allowing the user to sign in to a network service provided by a server. At login time, a login information receiving unit receives a pass code input by the user for login authentication. A login processing unit performs login authentication using the received pass code. If it is determined that the pass code received by the login processing unit is incorrect, a sign-in processing unit causes the user to sign out of the network service. When the user again signs in to the network service, a screen generating unit receives the pass code for login authentication. A registration processing section then registers the received pass code in a registered user information holding section as a new pass code.

Abstract: When a place where a different panoramic image was captured is present in a direction in which a panoramic image to be displayed is captured, a marker setting unit associates a marker indicating that the different panoramic image is present in said image-captured direction with the panoramic image to be displayed. A mapping processing unit maps, as a texture, the panoramic image to be displayed, with which the marker of the different panoramic image is associated, in a three-dimensional panoramic space. A three-dimensional image generation unit generates a three-dimensional panoramic image when the three-dimensional panoramic space is viewed in a designated visual line direction, with a place where the panoramic image to be displayed is captured as a visual point position. A user interface unit accepts a user's instruction regarding the displayed three-dimensional panoramic image.

Abstract: A cost function for use in an encoding mode decision for encoding a section of a digital picture is determined using a non-default relationship between Lagrange multiplier (λ) values and quantization parameter (QP) values to determine the cost function when a number of bits per section (NBS) of the digital picture is in a predetermined range and determined using a default relationship between the A, values and the QP values to determine the cost function otherwise. The determined cost function is used to make the section encoding mode decision and the section is encoded according to the encoding mode decision. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.
