摘要:
An object of the invention is to eliminate a program having a high general preference, and recommend a program customized to a preference of a specific user. A reserved information receiver (230) in a program recommendation server (3) receives reserved information transmitted by a program viewing terminal. A reserved information DB (235) stores the reserved information with respect to each of the users. A community reserved information statistics section (236) defines the users as a first group, based on the received reserved information, and the reserved information stored with respect to each of the users. A total user reserved information statistics section (237) defines the users as a second group including the first group. A recommended program creator (239) generates recommended information customized to the first group, based on an aggregate calculation result of the reserved information of the users belonging to the first group, and an aggregate calculation result of the reserved information of the users belonging to the second group. A recommendation transmitter (240) transmits the recommended information to the program viewing terminal. The program viewing terminal reproduces a program based on the recommended information.

The communication device can easily serve as an extended user interface such as a remote controller of a target apparatus without causing any complicated operations to a user. The communication device includes the following units. An apparatus information obtainment unit (203) obtains apparatus information from an apparatus. A position information obtainment unit (206) obtains position information of the communication device (102). An operation information obtainment unit (212) obtains operation information based on the apparatus information. A storage unit (213) stores the position information as apparatus position information indicating as a position of the apparatus, in association with the operation information. A direction sensor unit (207) detects direction of the communication device (102). A directional space calculation unit (208) calculates a directional space of the communication device (102). A selection unit (209a) specifies the apparatus existing in the directional space based on the apparatus position information and selects the operation information associated with the specified apparatus. An operation information transmission unit (215) transmits, based on the selected operation information, a control signal to the specified apparatus so as to allow the communication device to operate the apparatus.

A server device without a means for accessing an IC memory included in a data storage medium can check whether or not a data storage medium includes an IC memory. A portable optical disc medium (100) includes an IC memory (106) accessible through proximity wireless communication and a computer-readable recording part (101). The recording part (101) includes a user-data area (104) in which content data is recorded and a disc management information area (103) in which information for management of recording and reproducing the content data. In the disc management information area (103), medium identification information identifying the optical disc medium (100) and presence indication information indicating that the optical disc medium (100) includes presence of the IC memory (106) in a manner such that the presence indication information does not allow changing.
摘要:
A mobile device includes a position sensing unit, a remote control information obtainment unit, and a storage unit. Position information obtained by the position sensing unit is stored in the storage unit in association with remote control information. The mobile device further includes a directional space obtainment unit and an apparatus specification unit. The mobile device recognizes a direction pointed by a user using the mobile device, and enables operation of a terminal apparatus existing in the pointing direction.

An information notification apparatus includes a first reception unit that receives a first state change notification indicating that the operating state of an electrical appliance has changed to a first state, a transmission unit that transmits a state notification indicating that the operating state of the electrical appliance is the first state to an information terminal, and a second reception unit that receives an acknowledgement notification. The first reception unit further receives a second state change notification indicating that the electrical appliance has been changed to a second state from the electrical apparatus. The transmission unit calculates a correlation value for each of information terminals and transmits the state notification to an information terminal having a calculated correlation value higher than a threshold value, the correlation value indicating a degree of likelihood that the owner of the information terminal has performed an operation corresponding to the second operating state.

A communication device that can simplify various settings of a display device, such as a TV, that provides information regarding an object (communication device) is provided. An image capturing device (1) has a RF-ID unit (47) for performing proximity wireless communication with a RF-ID reader/writer (46) connected via an infrared communication path to a TV (45). The image capturing device (1) includes: an antenna (21) for the proximity wireless communication; a data receiving unit (105) receiving an input signal from the RF-ID reader/writer (46); a nonvolatile second memory (52) storing at least UID (75) and an execution program (116); and a data transmission unit (108) transmitting the UID (75) and the execution program (116) to the RF-ID reader/writer (46) via the antenna (21) according to the input signal. The UID (75) is used to identify the communication device, and the execution program (116) is executed by the TV (45) with reference to the UID (75). The transmitted UID (75) and execution program (116) are transferred to the TV (45) via the RF-ID reader/writer (46).
摘要:
An optical disc (101) to and from which information can be reproduced and recorded by laser irradiation is provided with a first recording layer (102) and a second recording layer (104). The first recording layer (102) has a first recording mark (103) that is formed in a spiral track. The second recording layer (104) is behind or in front of the read-side surface of the first recording layer (102), and neither a wobble track nor a track for reproducing or recording information by laser irradiation is formed on the second recording layer (104). On the second recording layer (104) are formed, by laser irradiation, a second recording mark (105) that is positioned in the radial direction of the optical disc according to a predetermined position on the spiral track of the first recording layer. The optical disc (101) ensures the secrecy of the copyright protected information that is recorded thereto and the copyright protection function of the optical disc (101), and is resistant against illegal copying.

An authentication system of the present invention includes: a receiving unit operable to receive first ID information from a first device, and receive second ID information from a second device; and an authority information generating unit operable to generate authority information having an authority range varying according to the number of pieces of the ID information received by the receiving unit. Accordingly, the range of authority that can be executed can be limited according to the number of pieces of authenticated ID information, and thus both security and convenience can be achieved in authentication of authentication targets, which is required in various situations.
摘要:
The present invention relates to dental equipment for treating a root canal. According to the present invention, two input signals with different frequencies are superposed. The difference between impedances corresponding to the two different frequencies at a given position in the root canal where the impedances hardly vary, is obtained. This value and a clinically determined value are used to detect the desired position in the root canal.
