Abstract:
Provided is an IC card capable of downloading a card manager even after issuance of the IC card. A first card manager stored in the ROM of an IC card is made to be capable of downloading a privileged application, which is an application having a privilege, and a privileged API in the ROM is made accessible from the downloaded privileged application. When the privileged application accesses the privileged API, the privileged application can operate as the card manager, so that the IC card can download a card manager even after issuance of the IC card.
Abstract:
A disk drive apparatus and control method thereof that enable the latency that may occur in a multi-drive environment to be prevented, and performance to be improved. A microprogram is provided that includes a queue handler that stores commands issued by the host in a queue area, performs reordering and determines the command to be executed, and requests execution of the determined command; an interface handler that executes interface-side processing, including data transfer between the host and the drive apparatus by means of a command for which execution has been requested; and a drive handler that executes drive-side processing by means of a command for which execution has been requested, and requests the drive apparatus to perform read/write operations relating to command execution; interface-side processing and drive-side processing are separated with regard to command processing, and interface-side processing does not affect the start of drive-side processing.
Abstract:
Contents of each of nodes indicating a plurality of hyper-text documents are prepared and revised in a node managing unit as node information. A connection-relationship between two nodes is established and revised for each of the nodes in a hierarchy structure managing unit as hierarchy structure information, and a hierarchy structure of the nodes is established. In this hierarchy structure, one node ranked to the top level is set as a parent node, and the other nodes are set to child nodes. Thereafter, a plurality of hyper-text documents arranged in the hierarchy structure are prepared from the node information and the hierarchy structure information. Therefore, because the contents of each node is managed in dependence of the preparation of the hierarchy structure, the hyper-text documents arranged in the hierarchy structure can be easily prepared.

Abstract:
Provided is a 3D image display method by which a viewer can more comfortably view a 3D image using an image stream for 3D viewing. The 3D image display method is a method used in a 3D image display device for displaying a 3D image from an image stream for 3D viewing including an image for a left eye and an image for a right eye, using a screen and 3D viewing glasses. The method comprises a step for acquiring, as glasses information, either the position and/or the inclination of the 3D viewing glasses with respect to the screen (S1200), a step for determining whether or not the glasses information satisfies an appropriate viewing condition under which a viewer wearing the 3D viewing glasses can view the 3D image (S1300), a step for correcting either the size and/or the position of either the image for the left eye and/or the image for the right eye (S1400-S1700) when the glasses information does not satisfy the appropriate viewing condition (S1300: NO), and a step for outputting the image to the screen (S1800).
