A service system includes a mobile terminal and an information processing device capable of communication via a network. The mobile terminal includes a first transmission unit that transmits spherical images taken in respective imaging locations and positional information about the imaging locations to the information processing device. The information processing device includes a reception unit that receives the spherical images transmitted by the first transmission unit; a map data obtaining unit that obtains map data from a map data storage, the map data including the imaging locations of the spherical images; a path information creation unit that creates information about a path made by connecting the imaging locations in the map data obtained by the map data obtaining unit; and a content providing unit that makes content available for a request through the network, the content including the map data, the information about the path, and the spherical images.

Service system, information processing apparatus, and service providing method

In an embodiment, provided is an image combining apparatus coupled to a first terminal device through a network. The image combining apparatus includes: a delivery section that delivers screen data that is image data for a screen to the first terminal device; a receiving section that receives first handwriting position information indicating a position of first handwriting information input to a screen based on the screen data on the first terminal device; a generation section that produces first handwriting image data that is the image data of the first handwriting information using the first handwriting position information; and a combining section that produces combined screen data by combining the screen data with the first handwriting image data.

An image distribution apparatus which is connected to multiple display apparatuses and which includes a distribution unit which distributes an image displayed in the display apparatuses is disclosed. The image distribution apparatus includes a specifying unit which designates an area of the image, wherein the distribution unit distributes information indicating an area designated by the specifying unit.

Image distribution apparatus, display apparatus, and image distribution system

An information processing system includes a first information processing apparatus that outputs a sound of a predetermined frequency; and a second information processing apparatus that collects the sound that is output from the first information processing apparatus, and outputs a response to the sound of the predetermined frequency to the first information processing apparatus. The first information processing apparatus transmits predetermined data to the second information processing apparatus that has output the response to the sound of the predetermined frequency.

Information processing system and information processing apparatus

An information processing apparatus which controls transmission and reception of information is provided. The information processing apparatus includes a transmitting and receiving unit which transmits and receives, as the information, at least one of voice information, video information, and screen information; a necessity identifying information defining unit which allocates necessity identifying information for detecting a state of the information processing apparatus and identifying presence/absence of a necessity of transmitting and receiving the voice information, the video information, and the screen information in accordance with the detected result; and a bandwidth control unit which determines a bandwidth to be allocated to each of the voice information, the video information, and the screen information to be transmitted and received, based on the necessity identifying information. The transmitting and receiving unit transmits and receives the voice information, the video information, and the screen information in accordance with the determined bandwidth.
