Provided is an image capture system capable of improving the safety and operability of application control, by a control device that makes a control request for an application, over an image capture device. The image capture system includes an image capture device and a management device that manages control over an application for the image capture device, which are connected with each other through a network. The management device generates a control authority based on the contract relating to the application for the image capture device and the image capture device, transmits image capture device identification information relating to the contract, to a control device, acquires the control request and the image capture device identification information from the control device, determines whether or not the control device has the control authority, based on the image capture device identification information, and transmits the control request to the image capture device identified by the image capture device identification information, in a case where the control device has the control authority. The image capture device receives the control request from the management device, and controls the application for the image capture device, in response to the control request.

Image capture system and application control method

Provided is an application control system capable of improving the safety and operability of application control, by a control device that makes a control request for an application, over a terminal device. The application control system includes a terminal device and a management device, which are connected with each other through a network. The management device generates a control key for controlling an application for the terminal device, and transmits the control key to the terminal device and the control device. The terminal device receives and retains the control key from the management device, receives the control key and the control request from the control device, and controls the application for the terminal device corresponding to the control key, in response to the control request, in a case where the retained control key and the control key from the control device match one another.

Application control system and application control method

A camera control device includes: an entering prediction value calculator configured to calculate an entering prediction value representing a possibility of entering of the user terminal in a monitoring range of the camera; an entering prediction time calculator configured to calculate entering prediction time that is prediction time necessary for the entering of the user terminal in the monitoring range of the camera; a preparation time calculator configured to calculate preparation time necessary for running the application on the camera; and a determination unit configured to determine whether preparation for running of an application on the camera is started.

A first image taken by a first camera device in the plurality of camera devices and first imaging environment information indicating a first imaging environment of the first camera device at a time of taking the first image is acquired. By using a parameter table that manages imaging environment information indicating an imaging environment at a time of taking an image previously by a camera device and a recognition control parameter indicating a detector corresponding to an imaging environment, a first recognition control parameter indicating a first detector corresponding to third imaging environment that is identical or similar to the first imaging environment indicated by the first imaging environment information acquired from the first camera device is selected from the recognition control parameters. The first image acquired from the first camera device is recognized by using the first detector indicated by the selected first recognition control parameter.

Image recognition method and camera system

A management device performs a first determination to determine whether an imaging device can include an imaging area needed by any one of one or more existing applications, and an imaging area needed by a newly operated application in an imaging range determined by a zoom magnification, and if result of the first determination is affirmative, generate information indicating that the newly operated application can be installed in the imaging device.

A communication serveracquires a request specifying a desired location for content creation from a requester terminal, and provides a notification of the request to an accepter terminalaccepting the content creation. The notification history managing unitstores, as notification history, the distance from an accepter terminal to be provided with the notification to the desired recoding location and acceptance information. Upon acquisition of a new request, a request notification terminal selecting unitselects a accepter terminalthat is likely to accept the request according to the notification history, and the request notifying unitprovides the selected accepter terminalwith the notification.

Communication server, communication method, memory medium and integrated circuit for mediating requests for content delivery according to expectation values of a probability of acceptance of the request, desired location, and history information

Even if a write operation onto a storage media on an external storage device is interrupted, consistency of management information on the storage media is improved. An image file transfer device includes a transferor which transfers an image file stored on a storage media to an external device, a retriever which obtains management information in relation to a file system from a storage media included in the external device, before the transfer of the image file by the transferor, a non-volatile storage which stores the management information obtained by the retriever, and a deleter which deletes the management information stored in the non-volatile storage in response to a completion of the transfer of the image file by the transferor.

Image file transfer apparatus that detect whether transferred image files to an external device has been aborted or not

In the case of recording pieces of cache data stored in a cache information management unit onto a recording medium, a recording device pertaining to the present invention records, according to designation of a recording area by a file management unit, pieces of data that are to be recorded into empty areas on the recording medium before recording pieces of data that are to be recorded into occupied areas on the recording medium. This prevents that the pieces of data to be recorded into the occupied areas on the recording medium from being recorded into the empty areas. As a result, the recording device pertaining to the present invention can reduce the number of overwrite operations as a whole.

Recording device

A CDA processing section extracts an unused area of an information recording medium via a disc status management section and a drive control section. The CDA processing section divides the extracted unused areas by a division criteria value MAS, which allows continuous reproduction of a video and audio stream, and reserves areas having the size of the division criteria value MAS as CDAs. This enables continuous reproduction of AV data, and multiple data can be recorded simultaneously.
