摘要： A context of media content is represented by context description data having a hierarchical stratum where the lowest hierarchical layer is formed from an element representing a segment of media content which corresponds to a change between scenes of video data or a change in audible tones. A score relating to the context is appended, as an attribute, to individual elements in the lowest hierarchical layer. In a selection step of a data processing method, the context of the media content is expressed, and one or a plurality of scenes of the media content is or are selected on the basis of the score of the context description data.

摘要： A context of media content is represented by context description data having a hierarchical stratum. The highest hierarchical layer is formed from a single element representing content. The lowest hierarchical layer is formed from an element representing a segment of media content which corresponds to a change between scenes or audible tones. The remaining hierarchical layers are formed from an element representing a scene or a collection of scenes. A score corresponding to the context of a scene of interest is appended, as an attribute, to each of the remaining hierarchical layers. A score relating to time information and a context is appended, as an attribute, to individual elements in the lowest hierarchical layer. In a selection step, the context of the media content is expressed, and one or more scenes are selected based on the score. In an extraction step, only data pertaining to the selected scenes are extracted.

摘要： A context of media content is represented by context description data having a hierarchical stratum. The context description data has the highest hierarchical layer, the lowest hierarchical layer, and other hierarchical layers. The highest hierarchical layer is formed from a single element representing content. The lowest hierarchical layer is formed from an element representing a segment of media content which corresponds to a change between scenes of video data or a change in audible tones. The remaining hierarchical layers are formed from an element representing a scene or a collection of scenes. A score corresponding to the context of a scene of interest is appended, as an attribute, to the element in each of the remaining hierarchical layers. A score relating to the time information about a corresponding media segment and a context is appended, as an attribute, to individual elements in the lowest hierarchical layer. In a selection step of a data processing method, the context of the media content is expressed, and one or a plurality of scenes of the media content is or are selected on the basis of the score of the context description data. Further, in the extraction step of the data processing method, only data pertaining to the scenes selected in the selection step are extracted.

摘要： An imaging region adjustment device includes plural camera terminals, capable of imaging an entire imaging target without blinds spots. Each of the camera terminals includes a camera which images a virtual imaging region obtained while changing the position of an imaging region within a specific region in a specific period of time and an adjusting unit B which adjusts the position of the virtual imaging region by controlling the camera. The adjusting unit B adjusts the position and aspect ratio of the virtual imaging region of one's own camera terminal so that a combined region of the virtual imaging regions of the camera terminals completely covers a specific imaging target region, based on the virtual imaging region of one's own camera terminal and virtual imaging regions of the other camera terminals, and when the virtual imaging regions A of N other camera terminals are contained in the virtual imaging region of one's own camera terminal, divides the virtual imaging region of one's own camera terminal into N+1 regions.

摘要： When locking of a lock object by a process is attempted, whether the locking succeeded is determined. Having determined that the locking succeeded, the process is executed at a relatively high processing speed in an interval during which the locking is valid as compared to an interval during which the locking is invalid.

摘要： In a biological signal utilizing appliance, an appliance control section controls the appliance in accordance with user's manipulation. At that time, an operation content is presented to a user through an operation presentation section. A biological signal detection section measures user's biological signal and detects from the biological signal the presence or absence of an event-related potential at the time point when time obtained by adding a predetermined shift time of approximately 150 ms to 600 ms elapses after a timing, as a starting point, when the operation content is presented. Upon detection of the event-related potential, a manipulation cancellation section instructs the appliance control section to cancel the presented operation content.

摘要： Questions and answers associated with each other are stored in a document storage section. A clustering section classifies the answers in the document storage section into clusters based on feature vectors of the answers. When a natural language question is input by the user, a database retrieval/updating section retrieves a question similar to the input question, and presents answers associated with the retrieved question together for each cluster to the user or an expert. In addition, the database retrieval/updating section automatically updates the document storage section based on an answer selected as most appropriate by the user or the expert if selected, or based on an answer newly input by the expert if no appropriate answer is available. The natural language answer input by the expert is presented to the user as it is.

摘要： In electric appliances (11) such as a digital TV and the like, a device agent (20) records viewing-and-listening date and time, a media type identifier and a content identifier in a group as viewing-and-listening history data. In server system (12), a user agent (30) receives viewing-and-listening history data from the device agent (20) and registers the viewing-and-listening history data in a viewing-and-listening history database. Each of external service concierges (40) and (50) accesses the server system (12) and collectively utilizes content viewing-and-listening histories in the electric appliances (11) that a user owns.

摘要： The present invention provides a contour extraction apparatus which has an image storing section 1 for storing an image, a contour model storing section 2 for storing a contour model, a contour model transforming section 3 for transforming and shrinking the contour model according to a prescribed rule, a contour model intersection detecting section 4 for detecting a contact or intersection in the contour model, a contour model dividing section 5 for dividing the contour model into contour models based on the detected contact or intersection, and an extraction completion judging section 7 for judging whether or not extraction of the contour of the object has been completed. According to the contour extraction apparatus, even when there are objects whose contours are to be extracted, the contour of the each object can be extracted correctly by predesignating a region only once, or without predesignating a region at all, despite the presence of excessive noise or a discontinuity in the edge.
