Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and program

There is provided a display control system including a plurality of display units, an imaging unit configured to capture a subject, a predictor configured to predict an action of the subject according to a captured image captured by the imaging unit, a guide image generator configured to generate a guide image that guides the subject according to a prediction result from the predictor, and a display controller configured to, on the basis of the prediction result from the predictor, select a display unit capable of displaying an image at a position corresponding to the subject from the plurality of display units, and to control the selected display unit to display the guide image at the position corresponding to the subject.

Displaying guide images on a table

There is provided an information processing apparatus that obtains information of a voice input of at least one user and estimates an attribute of the user based on the information of the voice input. The information processing apparatus further controls a display apparatus to display a layout image for the information of the voice input based on the estimated attribute of the user.

Information processing apparatus and method for estimating attribute of a user based on a voice input

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

There is provided a storage control device including: a filter detecting unit configured to detect a voice signal estimation filter for estimating a first voice signal heard by a specific user himself/herself; an estimation unit configured to estimate the first voice signal heard by the specific user himself/herself, on the basis of a voice signal including a second voice signal of the specific user collected by an air conduction sound collecting unit in accordance with the voice signal estimation filter detected by the filter detecting unit; and a storage control unit configured to cause a storage unit to store the first voice signal estimated by the estimation unit.

Estimating a voice signal heard by a user

A communication method includes the steps of transmitting, by means of a first communication apparatus, personal information to a second communication apparatus; receiving, by means of the second communication apparatus, the personal information and searching, by means of the second communication apparatus, whether or not personal information having the same content as the received personal information exists in the second communication apparatus; and notifying, by means of the second communication apparatus, the first communication apparatus of a search result.

Communication method and apparatus

A communication system, a control method, and a storage medium, which can guide a user to an action for having the predetermined feeling in accordance with a feeling map. A communication system including: an acquisition unit configured to acquire present position information of a user; a guiding information generation unit configured to generate guiding information in accordance with the present position information and map information in which feeling data is mapped; and a supply unit configured to supply the guiding information to the user.

Communication system, control method, and storage medium

Communication resources are appropriately used. An information processing device is an information processing device including an acquisition unit and a control unit. Here, the acquisition unit acquires a relative priority of each information processing device in a network built through autonomous wireless communication of a plurality of information processing devices. In addition, the control unit performs control such that a communication resource of the network is allocated based on the priority (a relative priority of each information processing device in the network) acquired by the acquisition unit.

Information processing device, information processing 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.

An information processing apparatus configured to detect an object from which an individual is identifiable from captured image data, store information from which the object is restorable in memory and transmit image data generated by omitting the information regarding the object to a server. The information processing apparatus also detects the existence of a wireless terminal and controls deletion of the information regarding the object based on a privacy level associated with the wireless terminal.

Processing apparatus, storage medium, and control method

There is provided a client terminal including a determination unit that determines, based on position information associated with a particular object, whether the particular object is included in an angle of view visually recognized by a user, and a guidance unit that guides the user when the determination unit determines that the particular object is not included in the angle of view visually recognized by the user.

Client terminal and server for guiding a user

A time-shift image distribution system includes an image server and a time-shift image requesting apparatus. The image server includes a first communication unit configured to carry out communications with the time-shift image requesting apparatus, an image database configured to store image data of captured images in association with meta information for image data of a captured image matching search-condition information, and an image providing unit configured to provide the image data of the captured image detected by the searching unit to the time-shift image requesting apparatus. The time-shift image requesting apparatus includes a second communication unit configured to carry out communications with the image server, and a unit configured to send a search request including information representing an imaging time and information for identifying a subject image as search-condition information to the image server via the second communication unit.
