Abstract:
Provided is a wireless communication apparatus including a communication unit that transmits and receives data in at least one communication mode from among a first communication mode in which wireless communication is conducted with other wireless communication apparatuses present within a predetermined range, and a second communication mode in which wireless communication is conducted with other wireless communication apparatuses present within a wider range than the predetermined range; and a control unit that, when data is being transmitted and received with a second wireless communication apparatus via one or a plurality of other wireless communication apparatuses in the first communication mode, configures the second communication mode and conducts a control for detecting a third wireless communication apparatus that satisfies a predetermined condition.
Abstract:
Provided is a display control apparatus including a detection unit that detects whether or not an input image contains an image of food or drink, an image creation unit that creates an image of food or drink whose exterior appearance is changed, when the detection unit detects an image of the food or drink, and a display control unit that performs control to display the image created by the image creation unit on a display unit.
Abstract:
Unique identification information is prerecorded on a disc. The identification information is registered to a server along with user's license when he or she buys the disc. When an terminal unit reproduces data from the disc, identification information is read and transmitted to the server through the Internet. The server creates a key that controls to reproduce data from the disc in accordance with the license identified by the identification information and transmits the key to the terminal unit along with the user's license information for the disc. The terminal unit controls to reproduce contents of the disc in accordance with key and license information transmitted from the server. The license for each disc is managed in accordance with the identification information. Thus, different services can be provided for individual discs.
Abstract:
An adequate display operation control in accordance with the external world situation is realized. For example, where a user wears the wearing unit of a spectacle-shaped or head-worn unit, the user is made to be able to view any type of image on the display section immediately in front of the eyes, and provided with taken images, reproduced images, and received images. At the point, a control relative to various display operations such as on/off of the display operation, display operation mode, and source chage is carried out based on external world information.
Abstract:
There is provided a control device including a focus control unit configured to perform control so as to sequentially bring multiple subjects within a captured image into focus, and a recording control unit configured to perform control in response to a trigger from a user so as to record, onto a storage medium, captured images of the multiple subjects sequentially brought into focus by the focus control unit.
Abstract:
There is provided a navigation apparatus including an estimation section which estimates first environmental information in a movement route candidate of an object based on observation information observed in real time in the movement route candidate, an acquisition section which acquires second environmental information of a surrounding of the movement route candidate, and a guidance section which guides a movement direction for the object based on the first environmental information estimated by the estimation section and the second environmental information acquired by the acquisition section.
Abstract:
An imaging display apparatus, includes: display means for image display; first image signal generation means for generating a display image signal based on a captured image signal captured by an imaging section with a field of view direction of a user being a direction of an object; second image signal generation means for generating a display image signal of an image different from an image of the display image signal generated by the first image signal generation means; and control means for allowing, simultaneously on the display means, display of the image of the display image signal generated by the first image signal generation means and display of the image of the display image signal generated by the second image signal generation means.
Abstract:
There is provided an apparatus including a power control apparatus for supplying power from an external power source or power from private power supply equipment to a plurality of electrical appliances, the power control apparatus including a power failure detection device for detecting an interruption of power supply from the external power source and for measuring a power supply interruption duration, a storage device for storing power supply information regarding power supply from the private power supply equipment to the electrical appliances, and a power supply control device for controlling the power supply from the private power supply equipment to the electrical appliances based on the power supply information stored in the storage device when the power supply interruption duration measured by the power failure detection device is in excess of a predetermined time period.
Abstract:
There is provided an energy management device that sets a priority in a plurality of electric devices when power limitation is performed, receives a status signal from a predetermined electric device that is a priority changing target, and generates a control signal configured to change the priority of the predetermined electric device to be higher based on the status signal when the power limitation is performed.
Abstract:
Display control that extends a user's visual ability is accomplished. By wearing an eyeglass-type or headgear-type mounting unit, he or she is allowed to see display means disposed in front of his or her eyes. By causing a part of a screen area of the display means to be in a through-state and a display with a display image signal to be executed, the user can see an image of a scene different from a scene that he or she ordinarily sees with a display of the display image signal while he or she can see the ordinary visual scene with the through-state area.
