An information processing device obtains an indicated position that is actually indicated by an object which is directed toward a screen and located on a plane including the screen. The information processing device obtains a relative position of a user to the actual indicated position. The information processing device obtains an input position on the screen, which corresponds to a current position of the object, and enables suppression of a movement amount of the input position with respect to an operation amount based on the relative position when the user has moved the object. The information processing device executes predetermined processing based on the input position.

Information processing device, information processing method for a gesture control user interface

Labor of photographing images of an object can be reduced in a case where the images of the object viewed from a viewpoint moving along with an orbit are displayed. Image obtaining means of a display control system obtains a plurality of image data pieces generated by photographing an object from a plurality of photographing positions that are different from one another in photographing directions. Information obtaining means obtains photograph information relating to the photographing positions of the respective image data pieces in a three-dimensional space based on the image data pieces. Image selecting means selects some of the image data pieces based on the photograph information of the respective image data pieces and orbit information relating to an orbit of a viewpoint that moves while changing a viewing direction in the three-dimensional space. Display control means displays, on display means, the image data pieces selected by the image selecting means in an order according to the orbit.

Display control system, display control device, display control method, and program

For example, a captured image including an image to be processed is received. In the image to be processed, various items are separately displayed in a plurality of areas. Subsequently, a partition pattern that partitions the image to be processed, which is included in the received captured image, into a plurality of areas is extracted. An object to be processed is recognized by comparing the extracted partition pattern with one or more partition patterns prestored in a storage unit and then identifying a partition pattern corresponding to the partition pattern extracted from the image to be processed. This makes it possible to recognize an object to be processed under a relatively light processing load.

Information processing device, information processing method, and program for identifying objects in an image

Provided is a portable wireless communication device including: a relative position storage unit configured to store a relative position of each of a plurality of partner communication devices; a movement information reception unit configured to sequentially receive movement destination information indicating a movement destination of each of the plurality of partner communication devices; a relative position update unit configured to update the relative position of each of the plurality of partner communication devices based on the movement destination information; a transmission instruction unit configured to receive specification of a communication direction by a user, and to identify one of the partner communication devices based on the communication direction and the relative position of each of the partner communication devices; and a data transmission unit configured to transmit data to the identified partner communication device.

Wireless mobile communication apparatus, wireless communication method and program

Systems and methods for synchronizing data across devices and mediating data sharing are described. In some embodiments, the systems can include a user device and at least one target device connected over a network for sharing event information. The user device and the target devices can include sensors thereon for detecting a gesture than can correspond to events that generate commands to perform tasks. Event information collected from the sensors can be compared and normalized using a cloud infrastructure to determine if the event is synchronized between the user device and the target devices such that the user device collected the same values as the target devices. If the event is synchronized, the system can perform the task. In some embodiments, the task can include synchronizing data between the user device and the target device while selectively choosing a target device for data sharing. In some embodiments, the task can include the user device acting as a mediator for data sharing between two or more target devices.

Systems and methods for synchronizing data across devices and mediating data sharing

In order to enable wireless communication to/from an intended partner user's portable wireless communication device to be reliably established, provided is a portable wireless communication device, including first attitude information acquisition means for acquiring first attitude information indicating a roll angle or a pitch angle of the portable wireless communication device; second attitude information reception means for receiving, via wireless communication, second attitude information indicating a roll angle or a pitch angle of a partner communication device from the partner communication device; and determination means for determining whether or not to establish a communication connection to the partner communication device based on a bearing of each of the portable wireless communication device and the partner communication device, the first attitude information, and the second attitude information.

Methods and systems are provided for sensing force exertion on mobile handheld devices for behavior setting and input for quick response. A method is provided comprising: applying a waveform drive to a haptic actuator to initiate a vibration of the handheld device; receiving signal data from one or more sensors during the vibration; determining a force exertion state of the handheld device based on an analysis of the signal data; and performing an action on the handheld device based on the force exertion state. The action may modify an operating mode for behavior setting of the handheld device, or enable the user to provide a quick response to carry out a desired action.
