A display information generation device includes an importance calculation unit () and a display information generation unit (). The importance calculation unit receives at least one user object for at least one user (U), a plurality of speaker objects for a plurality of speakers (S, S) having a conversation with the at least one user, and a plurality of annotations with respect to each object generated for the at least one user object and the plurality of speaker objects, and calculates importance of the conversation between the one user and each of the plurality of speakers based on at least one of the plurality of speaker objects or the plurality of annotations. The display information generation unit determines a display form of each of the plurality of annotations generated with respect to the plurality of speaker objects based on the importance of the conversation, and generates display information on the plurality of annotations each having the display form.

According to one aspect of the present invention, an information presentation apparatus for displaying information on a display device including a display area corresponding to a visual field range of a user includes: a first storage medium that stores presentation information including content information representing a presentation content and attribute information of the content information; a detection unit that detects a gaze point within the visual field range of the user; and a presentation control unit that determines a presentation position of the content information within the visual field range of the user in accordance with the attribute information stored together with the content information to be presented and the detected gaze point and cause the content information to be displayed at a position corresponding to the determined presentation position within the display area of the display device.

Information presentation apparatus, method, and program

Allowing an execution of an allocation processing and allocation release the processing of a device to a service program during an execution of the service program. Under control of an execution management section (), in case device transmission data received is device transmission data satisfying a predetermined transition condition of a state transition, a service state of the service program is updated. Then, under control of an execution management section (), a notification of the service state update is transmitted to a service context determination section (). Under control of the service context determination section (), whether there is a change in a service context to be executed on the service program based on service context information is confirmed. When it is confirmed that the service context is changed, under control of the service context determination section (), a device occupation request or a device occupation release request is transmitted to a device management section ().

Service program device allocation and release

A user interface unit having first and second input devices arranged on both surfaces of a display device is provided. The hardware processor of a terminal apparatus body determines whether a touch operation has been performed on only one of the first and second input devices or has been simultaneously performed on both the first and second input devices on the basis of respective detection signals output from the first and second input devices, and selectively performs the first processing and the second processing according to a determination result.

A logical device for implementing a service can be dynamically assigned to an available real device. A real device assignment request relating to a registered service program is transmitted to a real device assignment determination section () under the control of a registration management section () of a service program management section (). An assignment of a logic device relating to the service program to a real device is determined based on logic device information, real device interface assignment information, and real device information relating to an available real device under the control of the real device assignment determination section (). Based on the assignment information, communication processing of a control command and data between the logic device relating to the service program and the real device to which the logic device is assigned.
