The present invention provides an element data management apparatus, an element data management method, a program, and a data structure of element data for improving the utility value of environmental maps. An element data storage section () stores at least one piece of element data including environment data generated on the basis of sensing data acquired by a tracker and including sensing time point data associated with a time range in which an element represented by the environment data is estimated to be present in real space on the basis of a time point at which the element was sensed. According to environment data generated on the basis of new sensing data, an element data updating section () identifies the element data associated with additional environment data constituting a portion or all of the environment data. The element data updating section () associates the element data including the additional environment data with the identified element data.

Element data management apparatus, element data management method, program, and data structure of element data

There are provided an imaging data generation apparatus, an imaging data generation method, and a program for enriching data accumulated as a life log. A sensing data reception section () receives multiple captured images successively. A life log data generation section () generates an environmental map based on the multiple captured images. The life log data generation section () generates imaging data indicative of an imaging position or a subject of the captured image, the imaging data being associated with the environmental map.

Imaging data generation apparatus, imaging data generation method, and program

[Problem] To achieve presenting surprising information to the user. [Solution] Provided is an information processing apparatus including a control unit that controls display of visual information performed by a display unit included in a mobile terminal, in which the control unit controls to display, based on a recognized context, one or more images highly related to the context among images captured by a user in past, onto a part of a display area of the display unit. Further provided is an information processing method including controlling, by a processor, display of visual information performed by a display unit included in a mobile terminal, in which the controlling further includes controlling to display, based on a recognized context, one or more images highly related to the context among images captured by a user in past, onto a part of a display area of the display unit.

Information processing apparatus and information processing method

Provided is an information processing apparatus including: a decision unit configured to decide a form of each of a plurality of display objects based on a plurality of contents, on the basis of viewing priority information which has an influence on viewing priority of the content corresponding to the display object; and an output control unit configured to cause an output unit to output each of the plurality of display objects in the form decided by the decision unit.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and program

Embodiments include systems and methods for an electronic device including circuitry configured to acquire data of a first group of one or more images photographed by a first photographing method with corresponding first attribute information and first photographing time, and acquire data of a second group of one or more images photographed by a second photographing method with corresponding second attribute information and second photographing time; assign a priority to the first group and the second group based on the first photographing method and the second photographing method, respectively; and select one or more images from the first group and the second group based upon the assigned priorities, wherein a time to continuously display the selected one or more images occurs within a pre-determined time range for a set display mode.

Generation of a digest video

There is provided an information processing device including an event cluster creation unit configured to create an event cluster including, among a plurality of types of content, reference content serving as a reference and related content, the related content having a different type from the reference content and indicating the same event as the reference content, and a meta information appending unit configured to create meta information about the event on the basis of the event cluster and append the meta information to the event cluster.

Controlling transmission of information generated based on meta information of an event

There is provided an information processing apparatus, including an event information analyzing section which analyzes event information related to an event in which a person participates, a person image group analyzing section which analyzes, for the person participating in the event, a person image group including one or a plurality of person images including the person, and a profile estimation section which estimates a profile of the person participating in the event based on a result obtained by analyzing the person image group and a result obtained by analyzing the event information.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and program for estimating a profile for a person

There is provided an information processing apparatus including a display controlling unit configured to, at a time of displaying content on a screen, set one axis in a three-dimensional space as a time axis, arrange pieces of content along one or more of the time axes, cause the time axis to be rotatable in a foreground direction and a background direction of the screen with one axis substantially orthogonal to the time axis regarded as a center, and, in a case where the time axis is inclined by a predetermined angle or more toward a foreground, change a display state of content after a predetermined reference time among the pieces of content arranged along the time axis.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method and computer program

There is provided an information processing apparatus including a face image acquisition section which acquires face images extracted from images which are classified into an identical time cluster by performing time clustering, and a person information generation section which classifies the face images for each time cluster, and generates person information in which persons regarded as an identical person are identified based on the face images which are classified.

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

An information processing apparatus that obtains intimacy degree information corresponding to identification information of a first person, specifies an extraction period based on the intimacy degree information, and extracts content in the extraction period.

Content extracting device, content extracting method and program

There is provided an information processing apparatus including an image analysis unit to analyze image data, and a protagonist identification unit to identify a protagonist of an event including at least one set of image data. The protagonist identification unit identifies the protagonist of the event by using at least a parameter independent of an analysis of an image provided to the event. If the protagonist of the event is not able to be identified by using the parameter independent of the analysis of the image, the information processing apparatus makes the image analysis unit analyze the image data included in the event to identify the protagonist of the event.
