A server apparatusis communicably connected to a terminal apparatusthat collects sensor data from an odor sensor. The server apparatusincludes an analyzer holding unitthat holds a plurality of analyzers for analyzing specific odor analysis targets, based on sensor data, an analyzer management unitthat determines preprocessing to be performed on the sensor data, by selecting an analyzer according to the environment of the odor sensor, and causes the terminal apparatusto execute the preprocessing, an analysis execution unitthat executes analysis processing of the designated odor analysis target, by applying the selected analyzer to the preprocessed sensor data, and an analysis result transmission unitthat transmits information indicating a result of the analysis processing to the terminal apparatus

A terminal apparatusincludes a sensor data collection unitthat collects sensor data from an odor sensorthat outputs the sensor data in reaction to a plurality of types of odors, an analyzer acquisition unitthat, in the case where an analyzer capable of analyzing a designated odor analysis target is transmitted thereto from a server apparatusthat holds a plurality of analyzers for analyzing odor analysis targets by analyzing the sensor data, acquires the analyzer transmitted thereto, an analysis execution unitthat executes analysis processing of the designated odor analysis target, by applying the acquired analyzer to the collected sensor data, and an analysis result holding unitthat holds information indicating a result of the analysis processing.

A broadcast storage system is disclosed which is easily controllable by the user for setting programs for timer recording and playing back recorded programs. The broadcast storage system has one or more slave apparatus and a master apparatus. The master apparatus grasps programs set for timer recording by each of the slave apparatus. When a program to be recorded is determined by the user or an automatic timer recording process, the master apparatus selects an apparatus to record the program such that a plurality of timer recording settings are not made at one time in one apparatus, and instructs the selected apparatus to set the program for timer recording. When instructed to set the program for timer recording, a slave apparatus sets the program for timer recording, and records the program at the time when the program is broadcast.

Broadcast storage system with reduced user's control actions

Television programs are recommended in a flexible manner which a conventional keyword learning process has failed and also recommended with high accuracy. A method of recommending a program in an apparatus which receives broadcasts of programs together with information representing contents of the programs is carried out by generating a user profile having a plurality of themes with numerical values assigned thereto for representing preferred programs of the user, classifying themes by assigning numerical values to a plurality of respective themes with respect to each of a plurality of programs, using theme dictionaries containing keywords given to the themes, and determining programs to be recommended from the user profile and the numerical values assigned to the themes with respect to each of the programs.
