Abstract:
Provided is a light shielding device including a light shielding wall configured to include a plurality of panels, the light shielding wall being used as a partition of a first space and a second space, the plurality of panels being controllable in either a light transmission state in which light is transmitted or a light shielding state in which light is shielded, an optical path specifying unit configured to specify a predetermined optical path to be passed through the light shielding wall, a panel specifying unit configured to specify a panel on the light shielding wall, the panel being corresponded to a position at which the predetermined optical path specified by the optical path specifying unit passes through the light shielding wall, and a controller configured to control a light transmission state or a light shielding state for the plurality of panels on the light shielding wall.
Abstract:
The invention enables users to virtually attach information to situations in the real world, and also enables users to quickly and easily find out desired information. An IR sensor receives an IR signal transmitted from an IR beacon, and supplies the received signal to a sub-notebook PC. A CCD video camera takes in a visual ID from an object, and supplies the inputted visual ID to the sub-notebook PC. A user inputs, through a microphone, a voice to be attached to situations in the real world. The sub-notebook PC transmits position data, object data and voice data, which have been supplied to it, to a server through a communication unit. The transmitted data is received by the server via a wireless LAN. The server stores the received voice data in a database in correspondence to the position data and the object data.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus and method, and a program in which information can be reliably exchanged when performing wireless communication by allowing a user to know a communication distance at which devices can be connected. A communication unit 28 performs Bluetooth communication with a communication unit, which serves as a Bluetooth module, provided for a cellular telephone. A CPU 21 displays an image corresponding to the cellular telephone based on the input level of Bluetooth radio waves transmitted from the cellular telephone. For example, when the input level of the radio waves transmitted from the cellular telephone is equal to the maximum input, the CPU 21 sets the level of transparency to be 0, and displays the image corresponding to the cellular telephone on an LCD 32 so that a background image is not transmitted at all. When the input level of the radio waves is almost equal to the reception sensitivity, the CPU 21 displays the image corresponding to the cellular telephone on the LCD 32 by setting the level of transparency to be 90% so as to transmit the background image. The present invention can be applied to an information processing apparatus, for example, a personal computer, a PDA, or a cellular telephone.
Abstract:
A user input apparatus is provided with user input means for the user to input data or a command by using the user's human body, and use-form detection means for detecting a form in which the user uses the user input means by the user's human body. A computer connected to the user input apparatus changes the operation of the application being executed by application execution means, according to a detection result obtained by the use-form detection means. Therefore, input operations can be performed without inconvenience even if the user cannot use one hand due to another work.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method provide logic for managing positional information within a communication network. In one implementation, an information management apparatus includes a history information registration unit, a registration determination unit, and a base station information registration unit. The history information registration unit may be configured to register first and second history information within a storage unit. The registration determination unit may determine whether a difference value between time information associated with the first and second history information is less than a threshold value. The base station information registration unit may subsequently register at least position information associated with a communications apparatus and a base station, when the difference value is less than the threshold value.

Abstract:
To perform matching between a user who provides a first person view and a user who views the first person view.An icon indicating a current position of each Body is displayed on a map of a range that is currently specified. A Ghost can select a Body to whom the Ghost desires to perform JackIn by specifying an icon in a desired position by UI operation such as a touch or click. Further, when a keyword for limiting behavior or the like is input to a search field, only Bodies extracted on the basis of the behavior are displayed. Then, when selection is settled, a JackIn request is transmitted from the Ghost to the selected Body.
Abstract:
There is provided a signal control device including a signal output unit that outputs a signal for a vibratory device, and a signal control unit that controls the signal. Between a case where a change from a reference level to a first level is exerted on the signal and a case where a change from the first level to the reference level is exerted on the signal, magnitudes of variation amounts of acceleration per unit time generated in the vibratory device are different from each other. The signal control unit exerts the change from the reference level to the first level and the change from the first level to the reference level on the signal.
