There is provided a content usage managing apparatus including a memory unit to store the first relation between a POP and one or more contents included in the POP and the second relation between the POPs linked via a content in a package which includes two or more POPs, a selection unit to select the first content out of contents included in the first POP of the package, a specifying unit to specify the first webpage including the first content, and an examination unit to examine whether the first POP and one or more contents included in the first POP satisfy the first relation and to examine whether the first POP and the second POP linked to the first POP via the second content satisfy the second relation on at least any one of the first webpage or one or more webpages linked to the first webpage.
摘要:
An image-displaying apparatus has a displaying device including plural displaying parts with the displaying parts being aligned without any space therebetween along the path of mobile object, a supplying device for supplying to the displaying device an image signal on plural still images constituting motion image, a speed-detecting device for detecting a running speed of the mobile object, and a display-controlling device for controlling the supplying device to display the plural still images, respectively, at their set timing on their set positions of the displaying device based on the running speed of the mobile object detected by the speed-detecting device. The image-displaying apparatus provides the motion image obtained by flashing the still images at a predetermined time interval along a path of the mobile object, thereby allowing a person who is travelling by the mobile object to view the motion image due to the still images.
