There is provided a wireless communication apparatus that includes a communication unit that uses wireless communication to transmit and receive data related to a service provided by at least one of the wireless communication apparatus and another wireless communication apparatus with other wireless communication apparatuses present within a designated range, and a control unit that associates service information for identifying the service with user information for identifying a user using a wireless communication apparatus that provides the service, and include and transmit the associated information in the data.

Wireless communication apparatus, communication system and wireless communication apparatus control method to exchange services

The present technology relates to information processing apparatus and method, and a program, which are capable of presenting an operation input unit in a position in which a user easily performs an input operation. An imaging unit captures an image of a vicinity of a display unit. A hand recognition unit recognizes a hand by extracting a hand image obtained by capturing a hand, based on feature information of the hand, from the image captured by the imaging unit. The hand position detection unit specifies a real position on a display unit from information on a position in an image in which the hand image is present. A display control unit for an operation input unit displays an operation input unit in a position on the display unit which is specified based on the position of the hand detected by the hand position detection unit.

Information processing apparatus and method, and program

There is provided a wireless communication apparatus including: a communication unit configured to use wireless communication to transmit and receive data related to a service provided by at least one of the wireless communication apparatus and another wireless communication apparatus with other wireless communication apparatuses present within a designated range; and a control unit configured to associate service information for identifying the service with user information for identifying a user using a wireless communication apparatus that provides the service, and include and transmit the associated information in the data.

There is provided an information processing apparatus, the information processing apparatus including: a control unit configured to cause a second information processing apparatus to output authentication key information for allowing a first information processing apparatus to make a wireless connection with the second information processing apparatus in order to conduct data transmission from the first information processing apparatus to the second information processing apparatus using wireless communication, and determine to allow the first information processing apparatus to make the wireless connection on the basis of authentication key information input into the first information processing apparatus and the output authentication key information.

Information processing apparatus for controlling data transmission between devices in a network

Security is simply and safely secured when communication is performed by an information processing device including: a communication unit configured to wirelessly communicate with another terminal; an identification information acquisition unit configured to acquire first identification information that is acquired through the communication unit and encrypted for specifying the other terminal, and that is decrypted with a first decryption key managed in a network service; and a key acquisition unit configured to acquire a first encryption key associated with the first identification information in the network service when second identification information for specifying an own terminal is associated with the first identification information in the network service. The communication unit transmits information encrypted with the acquired first encryption key to the other terminal.

Information processing device, wireless communication system, information processing method, and program

[Object] To propose an information processing device, wireless communication system, information processing method, and storage medium which can mutually authenticate communication partners simply and safely. [Solution] The information processing device including: an acquisition unit configured to acquire first identification information for identifying another terminal; and a communication unit configured to transmit information for mutual authentication between an own terminal and the other terminal to the other terminal specified based on the first identification information through a network service.

A head-mounted display, a smart phone, a tablet terminal, an electronic book, or the like monitors conditions of the side of a power generation apparatus that charges a battery. An image display apparatus includes a power generation information acquisition means for obtaining power generation information on a power storage amount, a power generation amount, and the like of a secondary battery in each power generation apparatus, appropriately processes the obtained information, and displays it to a user via a display unit. The user can check the power generation amount of the power generation apparatus and the power storage amount of the secondary battery without stopping the use of the image display apparatus. When a power storage amount of a battery in use is lowered, the user can properly judge with which of the power generation apparatuses the user should replace the battery.

Image display apparatus, image display method, storage medium, and monitoring system

An ultrasonographic system includes an electronic memory to store a table that relates subject information to a plurality of frequencies, and a frequency setting unit that sets the examination frequency to one of the frequencies stored in the table. The frequency setting unit sets the examination frequency based on selection of subject information from the table, and the examination frequency is used to perform ultrasound examination on the subject according to the selected information.

Ultrasonography apparatus and ultrasonography method

Wireless communication apparatus, communication system, and wireless communication apparatus control method to exchange services

There is provided a communication apparatus including a communication unit having an optical communication scheme and a different communication scheme from the optical communication scheme, a level setting unit configured to set a security level in data communication, and a communication scheme switching unit configured to switch communication schemes of the communication unit in accordance with the security level that is set by the level setting unit.

Communication apparatus and storage medium

A head- or face-mounted image display device includes an environmental information acquisition unit that acquires environmental information, a state information acquisition unit that acquires state information, a guidance information generation unit that generates guidance information for guidance into a state in which the influence of environment is reduced or increased based on at least one piece of environmental information acquired for each state, and a provision unit that provides the guidance information.
