A feature extracting unit obtains sensor data from a plurality of sensors to calculate each feature. When an event determining unit determines the occurrence of an event based on each feature, a display data constructor generates remote-controller display data for displaying the event, and controls a remote-controller display device to display the remote-controller display data. When a user decision is input from a user input IF based on this display, a control unit controls the sensors to be turned ON or OFF. When an infrared sensor detects an abnormality, a microwave sensor whose power consumption is small after the infrared sensor is turned ON. When the microwave sensor detects an abnormality, a video camera and a microphone are turned ON, and the microwave sensor is turned OFF. A communication unit wirelessly transmits an image signal captured by the video camera and an audio signal processed by the microphone. Then, if the infrared sensor does not detect an abnormality, the video camera and the microphone are turned OFF. With this arrangement, power consumption can be suppressed. The present invention is applied to, for example, a security system, for example, for monitoring outside a vehicle by a video camera disposed in the vehicle when the vehicle is parked.

An information processing system includes a sensor that obtains sensor data. The system also includes a feature extracting mechanism that extracts a feature of an object based on the sensor data obtained by the sensor. Further, the system includes an event determining mechanism that obtains the feature extracted by the feature extracting mechanism so as to determine whether an event has occurred based on determination parameters. In addition, the system includes a display-data generating mechanism that generates, when an occurrence of the event is determined by the event determining mechanism, display data including event data for reporting the occurrence of the event. A display displays an indication based on the event data. An input reception mechanism receives an input based on the indication displayed by the display. A controller turns off a power source of the sensor based on the input received by the input reception mechanism.

An information processing apparatus performs a monitor processing based on sensor data. A first sensor obtains sensor data of a first format, the first format being video. A second sensor obtains sensor data of a second format, the second format being different from the first format. Surveilled features of an object are extracted from the sensor data obtained and compared to determination parameters in order to determine whether a surveillance event has occurred. When a surveillance event is determined to have occurred, message data reports the surveillance event to a further information processing apparatus. A decision signal is received from the further information processing apparatus, and a switch individually turns ON or OFF each of the first and second sensors according to the decision signal based on an instruction transmitted from the further information processing apparatus.

An information processing apparatus which allows high-quality contents to be easily obtained. A WWW browser section sends search request information which includes a keyword for web pages, input by the user, to an evaluation and search server. A search section of the evaluation and search server receives the search request information through a transmitting and receiving control section, and searches a WWW data base for web pages corresponding to the reported keyword. The search section reports the URLS, access information, of web pages obtained as a search result, to an evaluation section to request the calculation of an evaluation value for each web page. The search section generates search result information including evaluation from the access information of the web pages obtained as a search result and the evaluation value for each web page, and sends it to the WWW browser section through the transmitting and receiving control section.

Information processing device for obtaining high-quality content

An information processing apparatus for providing content data to terminal units includes a content data storage unit, a communication unit, an input information storage unit, an analysis unit, and a processing unit. The content data storage unit stores a plurality of pieces of content data. The communication unit transmits content data stored in the content data storage unit to a plurality of terminal units, and receives input information of each user with respect to the transmitted content data. The input information storage unit stores the input information received by the communication unit for each user. The analysis unit analyzes the preference of a target user on the basis of the input information of a similar user, which resembles the input information of the target user, stored in the input information storage unit. The processing unit processes content data to be transmitted to the terminal units in accordance with the analysis results by the analysis unit.
