A volumetric display apparatus, includes: a volumetric shape model having a side surface and an upper surface; a reflection mirror disposed at the side surface; a control device which stores image information of surface textures of the upper surface and the side surface; and a projector that projects an image of the surface texture of the upper surface onto the upper surface and which projects an image of the surface texture of the side surface onto the side surface via the reflection mirror, based on the image information from the control device.

Three-dimensional volumetric display apparatus and method

A conference information processing apparatus includes an extracting unit that extracts partial conference audio and/or visual information from conference audio and/or visual information. The partial conference audio and/or visual information has one or more physical events of a conference participant. The apparatus also has a providing unit that provides an index for the partial conference audio and/or visual information in accordance with a functional action abstracted from the one or more physical events.

A display apparatus has an acquisition unit and a display unit. The acquisition unit acquires information of a meeting video and/or the meeting video from a video storage apparatus and the video storage apparatus stores a plurality of meeting videos. The display unit creates a introduction screen for introducing information of the meeting video based on the information acquired by the acquisition unit, and displays the introduction screen on a display surface.

Display apparatus, system and display method

A display device comprising includes an acquiring unit and a display unit. The acquiring unit acquires information about a conference from a storage device that stores conference information. The display unit creates an icon being representative of a feature of the conference and also a table, and displays the icon on the table corresponding to the conference. The display unit creates the icon and the table based on the information acquired by the acquiring unit.

Display device, system, display method, and storage medium storing its program

A communication apparatus includes a display device, a camera, a database, and a server. Display information is displayed on the display device. A viewer image of a first viewer, who is watching and listening to the display information, is taken with the camera. The display information is associated with the viewer image that has been taken with the camera. The display information and the viewer image are stored in the database that is connected over a network. The server reproduces the viewer image in association with the display information. A second viewer who has watched and listened to the viewer image of the first viewer is able to know the reaction of the first viewer, and thus new communication resulted from the reaction of the first viewer can be expected.

Communication apparatus and system handling viewer image

Recorded video is accessed from printed notes or summaries derived from the video. Summaries may be created automatically by analyzing the recorded video, and annotations are made by a user on a device for note-taking with digital ink and video. The notes and/or summaries are printed along with data glyphs that provide time based indexes or offsets into the recorded video. The indexes or offsets are retrieved by scanning the glyph on the printout. The glyph information can be embedded in the printouts in many ways. One method is to associate block glyphs with annotations or images on the printed pages. Another method is to provide an address carpet in an annotated timeline. Yet another method is to provide a two-dimensional address carpet with X-Y position mapped to time which can be used to provide selected access to the video. The accessed video may be played back on the note-taking device on a pen computer, or on a summary interface on a Web browser-type device.

System and method for video access from notes or summaries

There is provided an information analysis apparatus comprising first and second data mining portions. The first mining portion conducts data mining of a first data group and counts numbers of data obtained in process of the data mining of the first data group. The second mining portion conducts the data mining of a second data group, counts the numbers of data obtained in process of the data mining of the second data group, and further conducts the data mining of the first and second data groups, on the basis of the numbers of data obtained by the first and second mining portions. The second data group is generated continuously after the first data group.

An Internet advertisement system which utilizes an advertisement server site and at least one partner web site. The partner web site provides to end-user terminals by e-mail a web page on which one or more banners that are provided from an advertisement server site are inserted. When a user clicks a browsed banner, content that is linked to the clicked-on banner is retrieved from a content database and delivered to the user by e-mail.

A position measurement system optically measures a position of an object in a simple manner at low cost. The position measurement system includes: a light source; an optical lens with a large spherical aberration which transmits light from the light source and forms a light ring due to its spherical aberration; a light receiving device (CCD sensor) which detects the light ring as formed by the optical lens; and a calculator which measures a position of the light source according to detected information on the light ring as detected by the CCD sensor. An optical mirror with a large spherical aberration may be used instead of the optical lens.

Position measurement system

An electronic document filing method and a system using the same is disclosed. The system comprises identification code addition means for adding identification code proper to the electronic document thereto, electronic document transfer means for registering the electronic document to which the identification code is added to the document server, print means for printing the registered electronic document and the identification code on the same paper face, identification code read means for reading the identification code printed on the paper face, identification code interpretation means for interpreting the identification code read by the identification code read means, and identification code transfer means for transferring the identification code interpreted by the identification code interpretation means to the document server.
