An information processing apparatus including a touch panel and a near field communication interface. The information processing apparatus detects that an input received at the touch panel corresponds to a predetermined input when the information processing apparatus is in a suspended state; and controls the information processing apparatus execute a predetermined function via the near field communication interface and awake from the suspended state upon detecting that the input corresponds to the predetermined input.

Mobile client device, operation method, and recording medium

The apparatus displays a GUI screen that includes an image display section, and a time-position information display section for displaying time-position information on a video material. A preview operation unit is used to preview the video material. Scene setting operation units are used for setting a certain range of the video material as a scene; wherein based on the setting of a scene by the scene setting operation units with respect to the material displayed in the image display section, ranges of scenes are displayed discriminatively in the time-position information display section. An input section for the input of a comment on the scene that is set in the scene setting operation units is displayed, and the comment input into this input section is stored.

Video material management apparatus and method, recording medium as well as program

An information management apparatus presents an unexpected event to all users. This apparatus displays time ranges of scheduled events from the start time to the end time along a time axis based on an operation performed to schedule the start time and end time of the events. Further, this apparatus displays a time range of an unexpected event along the same time axis on the same screen based on an operation corresponding to a start of the unexpected event such that the time of the operation is set as a starting point and the time range of the unexpected event is extended as time elapses until an operation corresponding to an end of that unexpected event is performed.

Information management apparatus and method, recording medium, as well as program for scheduling a recording of an event

A data recording method and a data recording system suitable for recording of a material for recording and attendant information are disclosed. When attendant information to video data generated corresponding to the video data is to be recorded, the video data are matched with first time information based on a first time base, and the matching is recorded as a time management table into a data recording medium. Further, the attendant information is matched with second time information based on a second time base, and the matching is recorded as an attendant information table into the same data recording medium or a different data recording medium. Further, matching between the first time base and the second time base or between the first time information and the second time information is recorded as a link table into the same data recording medium or the different data recording medium.
