An audio output apparatus is provided. The audio output apparatus includes: a vibration member, a vibrator, a vibrator positioning unit, and a vibrator-depth positioning unit. The vibration member vibrates to output a sound. The vibrator is in contact with the vibration member and detachably attached thereto to allow the vibration member to vibrate in response to an input audio signal. The vibrator positioning unit controls a contact position between the vibrator and the vibration member. The vibrator-depth positioning unit adjusts a position of the vibrator in the direction of being pressed against the vibration member and brought into contact with the vibration member.

Disclosed is an information presentation system that includes a plurality of information presentation apparatuses movable and displaying images of a plurality of objects, and a control apparatus outputting control signals for controlling the information presentation apparatuses. Each information presentation apparatus includes a display unit, a moving unit, a driving unit, a position sensor, a first communication unit, and a control unit. The control apparatus includes an object position information obtaining unit, a second communication unit, and a control unit. The control unit of the information presentation apparatus control to display an image of the object, for which position information has been obtained by the object position information obtaining unit of the control apparatus, on the display unit and control to drive the driving unit based on the control signal received by the first communication unit.

Disclosed is a signal processor includes a contents receiver receiving or storing contents of stream data, a characteristic extracting unit extracting a prescribed amount of characteristic of the contents received by the contents receiver, a detector detecting viewing time or hearing time for the contents received by the contents receiver, and a processor calculating information on a viewing status or hearing status of the contents determined based on an extraction status of the amount of characteristic extracted by the characteristic extracting unit and the viewing time or hearing time for the contents, and outputting the calculated information on the viewing status or hearing status of the contents.
摘要:
In a communication system for serving data corresponding to a request from the user and charging the user for the data served to the user, when the user designates a result of a desired one of a plurality of different operations, a usage management unit selects a one, corresponding to the user's designation, of a plurality of processors which effect operations corresponding to a plurality of different algorithms, respectively. When the processor corresponding to the designation is selected, an algorithm processor makes an operation corresponding to the designation. A management center charges the user for the use of the algorithm.

A feature extracting unit obtains sensor data from a plurality of sensors to calculate each feature. When an event determining unit determines the occurrence of an event based on each feature, a display data constructor generates remote-controller display data for displaying the event, and controls a remote-controller display device to display the remote-controller display data. When a user decision is input from a user input IF based on this display, a control unit controls the sensors to be turned ON or OFF. When an infrared sensor detects an abnormality, a microwave sensor whose power consumption is small after the infrared sensor is turned ON. When the microwave sensor detects an abnormality, a video camera and a microphone are turned ON, and the microwave sensor is turned OFF. A communication unit wirelessly transmits an image signal captured by the video camera and an audio signal processed by the microphone. Then, if the infrared sensor does not detect an abnormality, the video camera and the microphone are turned OFF. With this arrangement, power consumption can be suppressed. The present invention is applied to, for example, a security system, for example, for monitoring outside a vehicle by a video camera disposed in the vehicle when the vehicle is parked.
