Provided is an art of registration and management of the placement positions of objects to be managed can be easily and reliably performed. A device includes an identification information receiving unitthat receives identification information that can identify an object to be managed and acquisition time of the identification information; a position information receiving unitthat receives position information relating to a position of a person who moves around in a target floor while carrying equipment configured to acquire the identification information; and a placement information registration unitthat registers the placement information of the object to be managed by registering the position information received by the unitat the same time or almost at the same time as the acquisition time of the identification information that is received by the unitin association with the identification information.

Placement information registration device, placement information registration method, and placement information registration program

An image recognition apparatus () includes: an object specifying unit () that specifies a position, in a captured image, of a detection target object which is set in a predetermined arrangement according to a processing target object in an imaging target and has a feature depending on the processing target object, by image recognition; and a processing unit () that specifies, based on object position data indicating a relative position between the detection target object in the imaging target and the processing target object which is set in a predetermined arrangement according to the imaging target and has a feature depending on the imaging target, the processing target object in the captured image which is present at the relative position from the position, in the captured image, of the detection target object specified by the object specifying unit (), and executes a process allocated to the specified processing target object.

Image recognition apparatus, processing method thereof, and program

A task assistance system includes: a location detection unit () for setting a sensing plane in a first face side of a display means capable of displaying a plurality of articles and calculating location information of a hand located on the sensing plane or location information of an object different from the hand; a region setting unit () for setting a plurality of sensing regions on the sensing plane using the location information of the hand or the location information of the object calculated by the location detection unit (); and a pass-through region determination unit () for determining which one of the plurality of sensing regions a hand extended to the display means from the first face side has passed through using the location information of the hand calculated by the location detection unit (), after the region setting unit () sets the plurality of sensing regions.

Task assistance system, task assistance method, and program

This information processing device () comprises: a video data acquisition unit () that sequentially acquires video data resulting from a portion of an imaging subject being imaged by an imaging unit; an image recognition unit () that detects that a portion of a pre-registered image is included in the video data, and recognizes the images therein; an appended data extraction unit () that extracts the respective appended data of each image from an appended data storage unit () that stores appended data corresponding to each of a plurality of recognized images; an appended data display unit () that displays the extracted appended data of each image at each relevant image position of the video data; and a display control unit () that, in accordance with a user operation, switches from a process that successively displays a synthesized video, which is on the basis of synthesized video data, at the display unit of a portable terminal, to a process that, as a still image at the display unit of the portable terminal, fixedly displays the synthesized video at the point in time corresponding to the user operation.

Information obtaining and viewing device, data processing method thereof, and non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program

This information processing device () comprises: a video data acquisition unit () that sequentially acquires video data resulting from at least a portion of an imaging subject presenting a plurality of items being imaged by an imaging unit; an image recognition unit () that detects that at least a portion of a pre-registered image is contained in the video data, and recognizes the image; an appended data extraction unit () that extracts the respective appended data of each image from an appended data storage unit () that stores appended data corresponding to each of a plurality of recognized images; and an appended data display unit () that displays the extracted appended data of each image.

Information processing device, data processing method thereof, and program

A video processing apparatus includes a first storage means unit which stores, in correspondence to a viewer, frame feature values to characterize each frame of scenes constituted by a series of frames in a video content viewed by the viewer; a second storage means unit which stores, as scene groups classified by attributes of the scenes, the frame feature values of scenes constituted by the series of frames; an interest level accumulation means unit which compares the frame feature values stored in the first storage means unit with the frame feature values stored in the second storage means unit, and in case the compared frame feature values match, increases a score about the viewer which represents the interest level with respect to the scene group of which the frame feature values match; and a viewer preference determination means unit which determines that the scene groups of the which the scores are higher are the scene groups preferred by the viewer.

Video processing system, method of determining viewer preference, video processing apparatus, and control method

A video processing apparatus includes a storage unit, an input unit, and a determining unit. The storage unit stores a plurality of scenes included in a scene group and characteristic amounts which are extracted from a series of plural frames included in the respective scenes in the scene group, in association with each other, defining one scene out of the plurality of scenes included in the scene group as a typical scene and the other scenes as a derived scene, the scene group being a group of a plurality of scenes derived from a common scene. The input unit inputs a characteristic amount which is extracted from each of the frames of a new scene. The determining unit determines whether the new scene represented by the inputted characteristic amount is the derived scene of the scene group or not by verifying the inputted characteristic amount with the characteristic amount of the typical scene of the scene group stored in the storage unit.
