Radio communication device, audio data reproducing method and program

For an input interface apparatus for recognizing the motion of an object, there may be cases where the brightness of the object to be captured is insufficient, and thus, a camera takes an image of the object operated by the object, a depth position detector detects the position of the object based on captured frames, an action identifying unit identifies an action of the player based on a result on the detection of the object, an input receiving unit receives the action as an instruction to an input-receiving image displayed on a display, and in response to the action, an illumination control unit raises the brightness of the image projected on the display higher than that before the action is detected.

Image processing method and input interface apparatus

An importance level determination unit receives: input from a camera of frames of moving images taken; input from a switch connected to a server which is operated manually by hand; and voice input from a microphone. Based on these it determines the importance level of each image frame. An encoder compresses and encodes the image frames obtained by the camera and generates moving picture streams. A packetizer packetizes the moving picture streams and gives them to a tag attachment unit. The tag attachment unit attaches the importance level set for the respective image frames to packet headers of the moving picture streams as a priority tag. A transmission unit transmits packets with a priority tag to a network which includes a router with a packet priority control function.
