A content conversion system according to the present invention divides content data in which a display layout of content components is described using tags, so as to display, on a terminal, contents formed of the content components displayed on a screen, and includes: a primary division unit that divides the content data on a basis of the display layout of the content components; and a secondary division unit that divides the content data on a basis of a distance between the content components in a data description, the secondary division unit divides primary divided content data divided by the primary division unit, and the primary division unit performs re-division of the primary divided content data according to number of divisions made by the secondary division unit.

Content conversion system and recording medium storing computer program

An event processing apparatus has a central processing unit (CPU) and an event queue that temporarily accumulates a plurality of events when occurring. The CPU executes an event queue optimization module for executing filtering processes to delete one or more events based on optimization definition information, and/or for executing chunking processes to integrate a plurality of events into an event, for a plurality of events accumulated in the event queue, based on a CPU load calculation involving the sum of mean CPU-execution-times for unexecuted tasks corresponding to the queued events.

Optimization of queued events by deletion/integration based on CPU load calculation

When generating animation content as summary content for a digital broadcast program, the timing for switching of animation images for display is controlled appropriately. Subtitle character string extraction means for extracting a subtitle character string from subtitle data contained in digital broadcast signals, still image extraction means for extracting one still image corresponding to the subtitle character string, and summary content generation means for generating summary content to display the extracted subtitle character strings together with the corresponding extracted still images, are provided; the summary content generation means decides the timing for switching display of the plurality of subtitle character strings and still images comprised by the summary content, based on the subtitle character strings.

Summary content generation device and computer program

An information retrieval apparatus for retrieving a web page using a retrieval keyword includes a word extract portion for extracting an objective word from the web page on a display based on the specifying a display position of the web page on the display, wherein the word extract portion further extracts a peripheral word placed around the objective word, and a retrieval portion that performs web page retrieval using the objective and peripheral words.
