An electronic apparatus is designed so that a change in state of the operation key leads to a predetermined processing operation. In the electronic apparatus, a first detector detects operation keys being touched among a plurality of operation keys. A second detector detects an operation key being subjected to an operation of changing the state thereof among the operation keys. A device of notification signal generation generates a notification signal for providing the user with an explanation about processing corresponding to the operation key currently touched based on a detection result of the first detector. A first control device brings a hardware module and/or a software module, which corresponds to the operation key subjected to the change of the state thereof to an operation of changing a state is performed, into an execution state. The operation keys may be formed on a remote control transmitter.

An information processing apparatus includes a first display control section, a first input section, and a second display control section. The first display control section controls displaying of a plurality of content representative pictures so that the content representative pictures are displayed and arranged in a first direction. The content representative pictures represent a plurality of titles of content. Each of the titles of content is made up of a plurality of structural units. The first input section inputs a first user's operation to select one content representative picture from the displayed content representative pictures. The second display control section controls displaying of structural unit representative pictures so that the structural unit representative pictures are displayed and arranged in a second direction starting from the selected content representative picture when the first user's operation is input. The structural unit representative pictures represent the structural units of the title of content.
摘要:
Authentication reference information (SRM) is input into a variety of input paths, thereby increasing the opportunity to update the authentication reference information. Then, the authentication reference information input from each input path is temporarily buffered. After checking the validity or the version of the information, the authentication reference information is used for updating older authentication reference information, thereby preventing unnecessary or unsuitable updating.

A recording/playback device includes an extracting unit to extract a feature amount for detecting a content break; a break determining unit to determine the content break using the feature amount extracted with the extracting unit; an attribute determining unit to determine the attributes of a segment, such segment being made from a predetermined break to the next break based on determination by the break determining unit; and a playback unit to continuously play back the segment determined by the attribute determining unit to have the same attributes; wherein the break determining unit determines each of a first segment and a second segment included in the first segment; and wherein the playback unit has a first mode to continuously play back the first segment and a second mode to continuously play back the second segment, and switches between the first mode and the second mode when instructed externally.
摘要:
An information processing apparatus which detects concomitant information associated with a time at which data satisfying a preset condition is supplied within a continuous period of time from input data that is temporally continuously input is disclosed. The apparatus includes: a change information detecting means for detecting temporally continuous characteristic quantity change information based on the characteristic quantity in a first period's worth of input data; an accumulation means for accumulating the characteristic quantity change information to obtain characteristic quantity change information associated with temporally continuous input data for a second period; a concomitant information detecting means for detecting the concomitant information based on the characteristic quantity change information; an accumulated amount identifying means for identifying the amount of characteristic quantity change information; and a priority determining means for determining the priority of the processes of the change information detecting means and the concomitant information detecting means.
摘要:
An information processing apparatus detects, from time-sequential information continuously supplied for a given period of time, associated information regarding a time at which a piece of information satisfying a predetermined condition is supplied within the given period of time. A dividing section divides the time-sequential information into a plurality of temporally successive information units at predetermined time intervals. A feature value detecting section temporally successively detects feature values of the plurality of temporally successive information units. A change-information detecting section stores the temporally successively detected feature values for a predetermined period of time, and detects a plurality of temporally successive pieces of feature-value-change information on the basis of the stored feature values and a currently detected feature value. The change-information detecting section outputs the plurality of temporally successive pieces of feature-value-change information in sequence to output time-sequential associated information as the associated information.

This invention provides a data transmission method and a data receiving method which enable audio data to be multiplexed into video data and be transmitted using a DVI standard cable or the like satisfactorily with a simple configuration.From a data transmitting end, a superimposed video/audio data signal in which audio data are superimposed over a video blanking interval of video data in superimposition timing that is generated using a video blank sync signal and a pixel clock, are transmitted to a data receiving end through the DVI cable, together with the video blank sync signal and the pixel clock. On the data receiving end, a timing signal for extracting the audio data from the superimposed video/audio data signal is generated using the transmitted video blank sync signal and pixel clock, and the superimposed video/audio data signal is separated into video data and audio data using the generated timing signal, as well as the digital audio data are converted into an analog audio signal using an audio clock that is generated by dividing the frequency of the pixel clock.
