An ultrasonic-motor-driving device is provided which allows fine adjustment of the periods of driving waves that are generated by a driving-wave-generating portion. A driving device for an ultrasonic motor includes a driving-wave-generating portion. The driving-wave-generating portion generates signals for driving piezoelectric elements included in the ultrasonic motor. The driving-wave-generating portion is constructed capable of generating rectangular waves including a plurality of rectangular waves with different periods.

A cut detection system includes: an extractor configured to extract macroblock type information at least for every B frame from video compressed data including the macroblock type information; a calculator configured to calculate the number of intra-coded macroblocks for every frame from the extracted macroblock type information; and a detector configured to detect the B frame or a group of picture including the B frame to be a replay cut portion, which is a head portion or last portion of a replay shot, by using a frequency characteristic of the intra-coded macroblocks included in the B frame as determination conditions.

Cut detection system, shot detection system, scene detection system and cut detection method

A communication terminal, includes: a communicator, configured to transmit and receive data to and from a server storing video contents; an accumulator, configured to accumulate a plurality of partial streams extracted from different time positions within the video contents received through the communicator as asynchronous streams; a decoder, configured to decode at least one of the asynchronous streams and synchronous streams that are not extracted as the asynchronous streams from the video contents, the synchronous streams being streaming-distributed from the server; and a controller, configured to acquire streams having time position information before and after a reproduction time position of the at least one of the asynchronous streams and the synchronous streams decoded by the decoder while the at least one of the asynchronous streams and the synchronous streams are reproduced on the display, and control the display to display the acquired streams after the reproduction.

Communication terminal, content reproduction method, content reproduction program, and content reproduction system for distributing and reproducing video contents with reduced stress

The MBT information for each frame is extracted from the moving picture compressed data containing the MBT information, an MBT symbol string is created by obtaining the frequency at which a specific MBT is contained from the extracted MBT information for each frame, appending a predetermined MBT symbol to each frame in accordance with its frequency feature, and arranging the MBT symbols according to the frame order, the cut point of the moving picture is discriminated from an array feature of MBT symbols in the MBT symbol string, and further a shot is identified based on an estimation model using the MBT symbol string.

Cut point detection system and short recognition system using the same, cut point detection method and cut point detection program

There is provided a surveillance device capable of transmitting an operation history of an appliance and image data while suppressing an increase in data transmission cost. A surveillance camera includes a control unit controlling an operation of the surveillance camera, a light receiving unit receiving an infrared signal transmitted from a remote controller, converting the infrared signal into an electric signal and sending the electric signal to the control unit, a storage unit storing image data, an image capturing unit performing an image capturing operation and sending an image signal generated by the image capturing operation to the storage unit, a time keeping unit generating time information concerning the surveillance camera and sending the information to the control unit, and a communication unit outputting data sent from the control unit to an external device.

A television set allowing a small amount of information to be processed to authenticate at least a portion of a face with high precision, is configured as follows: The television set includes a memory, a camera and a CPU. The memory stores feature information in association with a position. The CPU detects the position of the facial portion of a person in an image. The CPU extracts feature information based on the image. The CPU collates the feature information extracted thereby with that of the feature information stored in the memory which corresponds to the position detected thereby. The CPU selects a channel corresponding to a result of the collation. The television set further includes a tuner and a display. The tuner extracts a broadcast signal of the channel selected by the CPU. The display displays a video image corresponding to the signal extracted by the tuner.
