A contents display apparatus, which stores display schedule information indicating display schedules of a plurality of contents so as to sequentially display the plurality of contents, and displays contents on a display according to the display schedule information, receives a user operation associated with the display while a content is displayed, determines, with reference to metadata of respective contents, a content which is related to the content displayed when the user operation is received, and changes the display schedule information by changing the display schedule of the content determined as a related content.

Contents display apparatus and control method thereof

An object display apparatus displays a plurality of object at respective display positions, and receive a designation to set one of the plurality of displayed object as an object of interest. Upon reception of an addition or deletion instruction of one or more objects with respect to the plurality of displayed objects, a display of the objects is updated by moving object other than the object of interest while keeping the display position of the designated object of interest.

Object display apparatus and control method thereof

In a data management apparatus that performs data management by assigning metadata to a plurality of data, the plurality of data are displayed according to a display mode chosen from a plurality of display modes for displaying the plurality of data as a set of attribute information of the data, and a candidate for metadata to be assigned to the displayed data is determined based on the display mode.

Data management apparatus and data processing method

A proxy service providing apparatus includes a service search unit adapted to, upon receiving, from a connection device connectable to a network, a request of a service provided by each device connected to the network, search for a providable service to the connection device in accordance with a relationship with the connection device, and a providing unit adapted to replicate and provide the providable service to the connection device based on a search result of said service search unit.

Proxy service providing apparatus, service providing method, and network system

An apparatus for recognizing sound information includes a sound recognition unit for recognizing sound information. A knowledge base stores knowledge concerning a type of data represented by the sound information. A prediction unit predicts the type of data represented by sound information to be subsequently recognized by checking the knowledge stored in the knowledge base. The sound recognition unit recognizes sound information to be subsequently recognized based on a prediction result obtained by the prediction unit. With this arrangement, the recognition accuracy is enhanced.
