A system that stores functional information indicating a capability of each of a plurality of elements located remotely from the system; identifies a function capable of being performed by linking a plurality of the elements based on the stored functional information; and transmits information corresponding to the identified function capable of being performed by linking the plurality of elements to a first device remote from the system.

Method and system for realizing function by causing elements of hardware to perform linkage operation

To intuitively identify the state of an electronic device. There is provided an electronic device that implements a predetermined function, the electronic device including: an operation detection unit configured to detect a physical operation on the electronic device; a transmitter configured to transmit operation information indicating the operation to an external device; a receiver configured to receive feedback information indicating at least a type of feedback representing a state relating to the function, the feedback information being transmitted by the external device in response to the operation information; and a feedback unit configured to provide the feedback in accordance with the feedback information.

Electronic device and feedback providing method

There is provided an information processing device to enable a user to intuitively perform an operation of setting a linked operation of hardware elements or software elements, the information processing device including: a display control unit configured to cause a plurality of icons indicating hardware elements or software elements that perform a linked operation together, and a link connecting the plurality of icons to each other to be displayed. A spatial sequence of the plurality of icons formed by the link corresponds to a temporal sequence of operations of the software elements or the hardware elements indicated by the plurality of icons.

Information processing device, display control method, and program

There is provided an information processing apparatus including: a recognition unit which recognizes an irradiation position of laser light by a laser pointer to a projection image; an acquisition unit which acquires movement information of the laser pointer; and an output unit which outputs a control signal for causing display of an object within a projection image corresponding to the irradiation position to be changed in accordance with the movement information.

Information processing apparatus, control method, and storage medium

A system that stores functional information indicating a capability of each of a plurality of elements located remotely from the system; identities a function capable of being performed by linking a plurality of the elements based on the stored functional information; and transmits information corresponding to the identified function capable of being performed by linking the plurality of elements to a first device remote from the system.

An information processing apparatus may include a processor to acquire information associated with behavior of a user and information associated with satisfaction degree of the user, and to analyze an association between the information associated with behavior and the information associated with satisfaction degree.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and program

Method and system for realizing function by causing elements of hardware or software to perform linkage operation

There is provided an information processing apparatus including a setting unit that sets a search character string, a searching unit that searches information including the set search character string, and a determining unit that extracts a co-occurrence character string candidate group other than partial character strings appearing as only a part of other partial character strings, among all partial character strings appearing in a plurality of pieces of the information obtained as a search result, and determines a co-occurrence character string from the co-occurrence character string candidate group, on the basis of the extracted co-occurrence character string candidate group and kinds of characters used in characters before and after the co-occurrence character string candidate group.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and program for extracting co-occurrence character strings
