In a road guidance using a Braille block, it has not been possible to determine a walking direction of a user only by a single Braille block. To solve the above problem, in a road guidance system including a mobile information terminal and a Braille block, the mobile information terminal includes a photographing processing unit, a QR code analysis processing unit that analyzes a QR code, a voice output processing unit, and a control unit, a QR code is affixed to the Braille block, and the control unit analyzes the QR code affixed to the Braille block photographed by the photographing processing unit using the QR code analysis processing unit to obtain QR code information, generates road guidance information generated based on a walking direction of a user holding the mobile information terminal from the QR code information, and outputs the road guidance information from the voice output processing unit as a voice.

An information processing apparatus includes a voice input processing unit, a memory, and a controller. The voice input processing unit takes in voice of a user of the information processing apparatus to convert the voice into a first voice signal. The controller extracts a first voice feature from the first voice signal to compare it with voice features registered in the memory. When the first voice feature is not matched with any voice features, the controller executes a process for storing the first voice feature in the memory to be associated with the registration target user, a process for generating a voice password based on the first voice feature, and a process for storing the voice password in the memory. The controller executes user authentication processing for an authentication target user by using the voice password in the memory by the user registering process.

Previously, users could not be notified when the 3D mode type of a program being received by a digital broadcast receiver was not compatible with the digital broadcast receiver. A reception device is provided with: a reception unit which receives program content including video information and identification information including information for distinguishing whether the program content is 2D program content or 3D program content; and a display control unit which controls the display so as to display whether the aforementioned program content is 2D program content or 3D program content in response to the received aforementioned identification information.

Reception device, display control method, transmission device, and transmission method for program content type

A digital assistant function is provided to individual users even when a primary device having the digital assistant function is at a location away from a hand of a user. An information processing device that relays sound data to a primary device that executes a digital assistant process includes: a sound acquiring unit that acquires surrounding sounds as sound data; a destination device determination unit that determines a destination primary device which is the primary device that is a destination of the sound data; a transmitting and receiving unit that transmits the sound data to the destination primary device and receives, from the destination primary device, a result of a digital assistant process executed depending on the sound data as a reply; and a reply presentation unit that presents the reply received at the transmitting and receiving unit.

Information processing device and digital assistant system

In a digital contents receiver for receiving transmitted digital contents, the digital contents include at least component information indicating an element which constitutes a program of the contents. When the component information indicates that the received digital contents are a 3D component, it is determined whether a display part corresponds to display of the 3D component. If the display part corresponds to display of the 3D component, the received digital contents are displayed in 3D.

When thumbnails of a wide-angle panorama image are displayed, by scrolling and displaying a thumbnail image in which distortion and tilt deviation are reduced, visibility is improved. An information processing apparatus includes an image correction information generating unit, a control unit, and a display unit. The image correction information generating unit is composed of an image distortion determination processing unit and a horizontal/vertical direction determination processing unit, and generate correction information for correcting a partial image composed of an arbitrary image area of the wide-angle panorama image. The control unit corrects the partial image on a basis of the correction information generated by the image correction information generating unit. The display unitdisplays an image. Then, the control unit causes the display unit to display the corrected partial image as the thumbnail image.

Information processing apparatus

The present invention relates to a head-mountable information processing apparatus allowing a user to hear a desired sound even if ambient sound unnecessary for the user is present. An audio input interface includes sound microphones worn in the vicinity of the user's ear, collects the ambient sound that occurs outside the head-mountable information processing apparatus, and converts the ambient sound into an input audio signal. An audio output interface, including headphones, converts a generated output audio signal for output, and emits the audio output toward the user. Based on a volume level of the input audio signal and a volume level of the output audio signal, a controller determines whether or not a state in which the ambient sound is preventing the audio for output from being heard is occurring, and based on a determination result, the controller controls a sound emission operation of the audio output interface.

Head-mountable information processing apparatus

A head-mount display comprises a display and a controller. The controller is configured to: acquire a first sensor output outputted from an ambient monitoring sensor configured to monitor an ambient environment of the head-mount display to determine presence or absence of an abnormality in the ambient environment; acquire a second sensor output outputted from a condition monitoring sensor configured to monitor biometric information of a user wearing the head-mount display to determine presence or absence of a factor of decreasing attention due to a user's condition; determine the display mode at a time of displaying the virtual space information on the display based on both the presence or absence of the abnormality in the ambient environment and the factor of decreasing attention due to the user's condition; and display the virtual space information on the display in the determined display mode.

A personal digital assistant includes a display control unit that causes an object as a target of the touch operation to be displayed in the image display unit, an image input unit that acquires a video of an operation instruction object that performs the touch operation on the touch screen, and a shaking detection unit that analyzes the video of the operation instruction object, which is acquired by the image input unit, and calculates a relative shaking amount of the operation instruction object to a position of the personal digital assistant as a reference. The display control unit causes the object to be displayed in the image display unit to be displayed, based on the relative shaking amount of the operation instruction object, which is calculated by the shaking detection unit, such that the object is shifted in accordance with the relative shaking amount.
