To provide an information processing apparatus and an information processing method. Provided is an information processing apparatus that includes a recognition section and an output control section. The recognition section recognizes background content displayed in a background of an aquarium. The output control section controls an output of light into an interior of the aquarium that acts as a foreground, on the basis of a result of recognizing the background content.

Information processing apparatus and information processing method

A data management system is provided that manages sets in an orderly fashion. Sets are hierarchically organized according to implications thereof and stored in a set storage deviceWhen a set in the relatively upper level of the hierarchy is specified among the hierarchically structured sets, a main controller sectionperforms a logical operation on all sets that belong to lower levels of the hierarchy thereof, and causes a display device DP to display a result of the logical operation as contents of said set specified.

Data management system and computer program

A data management system that facilitates table merges without the necessity of knowledge about a database or creating an environment therefore is provided. With a processor unit, a merging sheet (merged table) for merging a plurality of spreadsheets (tables) is recorded, and then stored in an external storage device. A table designated by the user through mouse operation and the merged table are compared; if cells of the same data exist in a specific column, the data in rows to which said cells in the table belong are merged to rows to which relevant cells of the merged table belong; for rows to which cells existing only in the table belong, they are added as new row data to the merged table. Furthermore, a flag for identifying each table is recorded in rows merged or added to the merged table.

Data management system, method, and recording medium

The present invention is to provide a system capable of preventing an increase in load even if the amount of data increases. Upon receipt of a retrieval request, a main control part specifies, from a first customer table, row numbers adapted to the retrieval request. Then the main control part determines the range of data to be retrieved in a second customer table according to predetermined computational logic from the row numbers specified, the number of rows capable of being recorded in the first customer table for each customer, and the number of rows capable of being recorded in the second customer table for each customer.

Data processing system, data processing method and computer program

A data managing apparatus includes a data file storing records each including data units corresponding to predetermined items, and an index file corresponding to a certain item which requires data arrangement in a predetermined sequence and storing change bits each corresponding to one of the records stored in the data file and each representing whether data has been changed between the adjacent records with respect to the corresponding item. When a retrieval request is received from an operator about the foregoing certain item, the change bits are read from the index file following a retrieval start position and a retrieval direction designated by the retrieval request, so that a requested record is identified based on the read change bits. Then, data units of the identified record are read from the data file and notified to the operator via a display device or the like.
