摘要:
Disclosed herein is an information processing apparatus that presents, to a user who performs a search among a plurality of contents distributed over a search space formed using N, N is an integer greater than one, types of search axes, assistant information for assisting the user with the search. The apparatus includes: specification means for specifying a first range; range presentation means for presenting a state of distribution of contents within the first range, and presenting the state of the distribution of the contents within a second range; and narrowing-down axis presentation means for selecting, and presenting the narrowing-down axis candidate or candidates to the user.
摘要:
In an information processing apparatus adapted to determine information, to be presented to a user, as to one or more contents, a calculation unit calculates the similarity between a first search axis, produced on the basis of information associated with the user, for use as a reference on the basis of which to present contents and a second search axis, produced on the basis of information associated with one of other users, for use as a reference on the basis of which to present contents, and a display control unit controls displaying of information associated with contents with reference to first and second search axes detected as being similar to each other.
摘要:
An information processing apparatus is disclosed which includes: a creation section configured to create, through learning, a search axis which serves as a reference for presenting contents and which is determined by feature quantities of the contents and either by a history of reproduction of the contents by a user or by evaluations of the contents by the user; and a display control section configured to control display of the presentation of the contents in reference to the search axis having been created.

An image forming apparatus (100) includes a rotation driving portion (40) configured to drive rotation of a discharge roller (31), a shift driving portion (50) configured to drive shift of the discharge roller (31), thereby causing shift, and a control portion (200) configured to control driving of rotation of the rotation driving portion (40) and driving of shift of the shift driving portion (50). The control portion (200) controls a discharge timing for sheet (P) that is being discharged such that a trailing edge (P2) of the sheet (P) moves past the discharge roller (31) during the shift of the discharge roller (31).

The present invention displays subtitles in a language desired by a user in a desired format. A text data decoder 121 decodes text subtitle data, supplies a character object to a character object buffer 122, and supplies attribute data to an attribute data buffer 123. The attribute data stored in the attribute data buffer 123 is changed on the basis of an operation input from the user. A font rasterizer 124 converts the character object into raster data on the basis of attribute specification read from the attribute data buffer 123 and acquired font data, and outputs the raster data. By detecting each character object bearing a bookmark on the basis of the attribute and using a bookmark buffer 125, character objects bearing the same bookmark ID are prevented from being repeatedly rasterized. The present invention is applicable to a playback apparatus.

An electronic apparatus includes a reading unit configured to read, from a removable content recording medium on which at least one content item among a plurality of content items purchased by a user is recorded, playback rights information indicating that the plurality of content items can be played back, and position information indicating a recording destination of information regarding unrecorded content that is content that has not been recorded on the content recording medium; an obtaining unit configured to obtain the unrecorded content on the basis of the position information via a network; and a playback control unit configured to control playback of the obtained unrecorded content by using the playback rights information.
摘要:
A signal processing apparatus subjects an audio signal to musical pitch analysis using different analysis techniques for the higher and lower frequencies. When an audio signal is input, a first extractor extracts a high-frequency signal, and a second extractor extracts a low-frequency signal from the audio signal. A high-frequency processor extracts pitch components from the high-frequency signal by applying the short-time Fourier transform. A low-frequency processor extracts pitch components from the low-frequency signal by dividing the low-frequency signal into a plurality of octave components. A synthesizing unit then combines the pitch components thus extracted from the high-frequency signal and the low-frequency signal and outputs the analysis result.

A variable valve timing control apparatus of an internal combustion engine includes a phase change mechanism configured to control engine valve timing by changing a relative angular phase between a timing sprocket and a camshaft by braking torque application via an electromagnetic brake. A flow control valve is arranged downstream of an oil supply passage that supplies cooling oil into an inside of the phase change mechanism. The flow control valve includes a valve element configured to control a flow rate of the oil supplied into the inside of the phase change mechanism, by changing an opening area of a valve bore communicating the oil supply passage by way of an advancing/retreating motion of the valve element in the valve bore, and a temperature-sensitive member configured to create the advancing/retreating motion of the valve element responsively to a temperature of the oil.
摘要:
An information processing apparatus includes a target problem acquisition unit for acquiring a target problem, a generation unit for generating a plurality of solution candidates to the target problem to solve the target problem, and a contribution ratio calculating unit for calculating a contribution ratio of each solution candidate to the target problem if the target problem is solved using all the plurality of solution candidates to the target problem acquired by the target problem acquisition unit. The generation unit generates a solution candidate to the target problem in a next generation in accordance with a genetic algorithm that uses an evaluation value that is calculated using at least the contribution ratio of each solution candidate to the target problem determined by the contribution ratio calculating unit.
