Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and information processing program

A path planning device of the present disclosure includes: an input unit that accepts an input of data to be used in path planning, with respect to all of multiple moving bodies present in environment to be subjected to the path planning, in which the multiple moving bodies include at least one first moving body having a goal and at least one second goal-less moving body; and a planning unit that plans behavior until the time at which the first moving body has reached the goal, with respect to all of the multiple moving bodies, on the basis of the data inputted into the input unit.

Path planning device

The present technology relates to a mobile object and a control method that enable improvement of work efficiency. The mobile object controls a drive system that performs maintenance work in accordance with a maintenance plan generated in response to a work cost related to main work according to a work plan, or related to the maintenance work for maintenance of a work mobile object that performs the main work. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a maintenance mobile object that performs maintenance work for maintenance of a work mobile object that performs main work.

Mobile object and control method

A receiving device is provided. The receiving devices includes circuitry that is configured to execute an application related to a program or a channel, The circuitry is configured to set, based on the application, broadcast reception data from a broadcast as a media source object corresponding to a processing object of media reproduction. The circuitry is configured to obtain, based on the application, broadcast content segment information of broadcast content in the broadcast reception data that is stored in a buffer associated with the media source object. The circuitry is configured to perform, based on the application and the broadcast content segment information of a segment of the broadcast content to be replaced being obtained, replacement or appendance of the broadcast content in the broadcast reception data stored in the buffer with network content in application reception data received via a network.

Receiving device, transmitting device, and data processing method

A configuration in which a reception device can determine whether or not data reception via a network is permitted on the basis of signaling data is implemented. A class identifier indicating a group of reception devices or users that are permitted to perform data reception via a network is recorded in signaling data transmitted from a transmission device to a reception device. A reception device determines whether or not a class identifier is identical to a class identifier set to a reception device or a user and performs data reception via a network when the class identifiers are identical to each other. A URL base pattern applied to data reception via a broadcast wave or a network is recorded in signaling data, and a reception device performs data acquisition to which the URL base pattern is applied.

Reception device, transmission device, and data processing method

Provided are a device and a method capable of efficiently performing a synthesis process of broadcast reception data and network reception data. Broadcast reception data received by a receiving device via a communication unit is set as a media source object corresponding to a processing object of an application executed by the receiving device under an application programming interface (API). The application executes a synthesis process of the broadcast reception data and network reception data received via a network as processing for the media source object. The application obtains a time offset corresponding to a time difference between an application time axis and a broadcast time axis on the basis of an API application process to execute a high-accuracy and low-delay data synthesis process.

The present disclosure relates to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, a program and an information processing system capable of executing processing that affects a database. In a case where it is instructed to conduct an A/B test that affects a database, a duplication processing unit executes processing for creating a test database by duplicating the database. In a case where it is instructed to terminate the A/B test, a write-back processing unit executes processing for writing back data of the test database to the original database. At this time, all of a plurality of pieces of data registered in the test database or a specified part of the data is selected and written back. The present technology is, for example, applied to a web system capable of conducting the A/B test.

A/B test apparatus, method, program, and system

Methods and apparatus of managing a community site. Upon execution of processor-executable instructions by a processing unit, the processing unit manages the community site in accordance with management data so as to permit access to the community site by a plurality of terminal apparatuses based at least in part on terminal data from each of the plurality of terminal apparatuses. The terminal data indicates at least one of a time or a location associated with the terminal apparatus. The processing unit further stores content uploaded from at least one of the plurality of terminal apparatuses to at least one storage device, the content being accessible via the community site. In response to at least one predetermined condition relating to the usage of the community site being satisfied, the processing unit sends a signal to delete the content from the at least one storage device.

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

Provided are a device and a method which are capable of performing selection acquisition and utilization processes for a service worker (SW) that performs data management optimized for each reception device. It is possible to selectively acquire a service worker (SW) of a specific class from service workers (SWs) corresponding to a plurality of classes which are data management programs used in a reception device and have different data management types. For example, use of a service worker (SW) corresponding to a class selected according to an application use state in a reception device is implemented. A reception device acquires access information of a service worker (SW) of a specific class using signaling data in which a token used for efficiently searching for the access information of the service worker (SW) of the specific class is recorded, and acquires the service worker (SW).

The present disclosure is intended to display registration information on a real-world registration information setting point and update the display with detection of an event in accordance with a change in the context as a trigger. A control for displaying a virtual object including registration information on a real-world registration information setting point is performed. The data processing unit performs a process for displaying registration information described in control data and a process for updating the display in accordance with a change in predefined context. Further, the data processing unit displays the virtual object indicative of the registration information setting point in conjunction with the display of the registration information. The data processing unit calculates the positional relationship between an information processing apparatus and the registration information setting point on the basis of the position, direction, and the like of a reference image (anchor) detected from the shot image in a virtual three-dimensional space, and displays the virtual object indicative of the registration information setting point on the basis of the calculated positional relationship and a change in the context.
