An information processing device includes an access means accessing a database recording a plurality of words indicating, for each of a plurality of objects, flavor or aroma of an object; a presenting means presenting to a user an object to be used from among a set of determined objects in order; a display control means for causing a display means to display a plurality of words obtained from the database indicating the flavor or aroma of the object to be used; a receiving means receiving a selection of the flavor or aroma sensed by user using the object to be used and the input of the preference; and an output means outputting words that shows the tendency of the user's preference according to the selection and the input, in a case that the selection and the input are received regarding all the objects that constitute the set of determined objects.

Information processing device, information processing method, and program

To enable a user to know a smell or taste (of an object) that matches a specified description, when a card is placed on a sensing surface of a sensor, the description specifying unit specifies which card (or which description) is located at which position on the sensing surface. A first display control unit that controls a projector to display a related description group, which is a description group related to the description shown on the card. A priority specifying unit specifies a priority for each of the displayed related descriptions. A second display control unit displays a relationship between at least one related description included in the displayed related description group and an object that stimulates a sense of smell or taste described by the related description. On displaying the relation image, the relationship being displayed by an appearance in accordance with a specified priority.

Information processing device, program, and information providing system

The relationship between the smell or taste of an object and the expression of the smell or taste can be grasped, and the user can grasp what smell or taste they prefer. In the single-sample display mode, a system displays a group of expressions relating to the olfactory sense stimulated by a sample, and if any expression is selected by the user, the system displays a relationship image indicating the relationship between the selected expression and other samples corresponding to the olfactory sense associated with the expression. In addition, in the multiple-sample display mode, the system displays, for each of plural samples, a group of expressions relating to the sense of smell stimulated by each sample, and displays an expression common to plural samples among the group of expressions.

Selection unit selects any one of a plurality of images. Display controller displays preview information of content (information representing the content detail) corresponding to an image selected from among the any one of the plurality of images by selection unit. Display controller changes the preview information of the content corresponding to the selected icon each time the icon is selected. For example, the content may include a plurality of elements, and display controller displays the plurality of elements as preview information in order of display each time the icon corresponding to the content is selected.

Display control device and program

A display control device including at least: extraction unit configured to extract a plurality of items that are to be displayed; and display control unit configured to display a plurality of images that correspond to the plurality of extracted items, in a predetermined arrangement on a screen such that the plurality of images are cyclically movable. Display control unit is configured to determine whether or not each of the plurality of extracted items satisfies a predetermined condition, and responsive to stopping cyclic movement of the plurality of images, display an image that corresponds to an item that satisfies the predetermined condition, out of the plurality of images, at a particular position.

Display control device, program, and image display method

Identifying unit identifies a character selected by a user from among plural characters in a terminal, through communication with the terminal via communication unit. Comparison unit, when a first character is identified by identifying unit, compares a history of selections of the first character and a history of selections of a second character with reference to history database. Output unit outputs expression data based on a result of the comparison by comparison unit with reference to expression database, which data represents an expression used when the first character interacts with the user.
