Sensing devices in an installation state are flexibly managed and the sensing devices are controlled appropriately. The sensing devices each include a sensor, a selection control unit, and a notification unit. The sensor measures the ambient environment to generate a measurement signal. The selection control unit controls the selection state of the sensing device in response to the measurement signal from the sensor. The notification unit issues a notification that the sensing device has been selected in a case where the selection state indicates that the sensing device has been selected.

Sensing device, device management apparatus for sensing device, device selecting method, and device managing method

An information processing apparatus is provided that includes a memory storing a program and a processor configured to execute the program to implement processes of determining whether an execution request for executing a function of the information processing apparatus has been accepted from a user, acquiring information relating to the execution request upon determining that the execution request has been accepted, generating a screen to be displayed on a display unit based on the acquired information relating to the execution request, executing an authentication process with respect to the user, and controlling the display unit to display the generated screen when the user has been successfully authenticated by the authentication process.

Information processing apparatus, information processing system, and information processing method

A storage unit stores therein setting information and history information on a communication established by the setting information. When an information receiving unit receives new setting information, a judging unit judges whether the setting information stored in the storage unit reached a predetermined value. A determining unit compares the history information corresponding to the setting information, and determines a priority for each setting information based on a result of comparison. A deleting unit deletes setting information having the lowest priority from the storage unit, and a storing unit stores the new setting information in the storage unit.

Communication apparatus and communication method

A video processing device includes a video accumulating unit configured to accumulate video data obtained by capturing video of a specific area, event occurrence data indicating an event that has occurred in a video image corresponding to the video data, and object specifying data for specifying an object relating to the event, a video processing unit configured to apply a predetermined effect to the video data accumulated in the video accumulating unit in accordance with the event occurrence data and the object specifying data that are added to the video data accumulated in the video accumulating unit to produce a modified video image, and a video output unit configured to output the modified video image to which the effect has been applied by the video processing unit.

Video processing device, video processing method, and program

An information processing apparatus includes a video obtaining unit configured to obtain a plurality of items of video data captured by a plurality of image-capturing devices; a position information obtaining unit configured to obtain position information including an orientation and an angle of view of each of the image-capturing devices; a reproduction position calculation unit configured to calculate a reproduction position of each item of the video data so that a projection direction and an angle of view of the item of the video data matches the orientation and the angle of view of a corresponding one of the image-capturing devices by using the position information; and a reproduction controller configured to reproduce each item of the video data at the corresponding reproduction position.

Information processing apparatus, image-capturing system, reproduction control method, recording control method, and program

A data processing circuit is disclosed which can process data precisely while the processing load to a controlling source is reduced. An information detection section detects, from within data read out from a buffer memory and having attribute information, the attribute information. A data processing section processes, in response to the attribute information detected by the information detection section, data corresponding to the attribute information. A real time control section controls at least one of the information detection section and the data processing section in accordance with a control instruction for real time processing inputted from the outside.
