A control device includes a recognizing unit that recognizes the external environment based on sensing information; an action decision managing unit that, based on the recognized external environment, decides on the actions to be taken; a behavior managing unit that, based on at least either the difficulty level of recognition for the recognizing unit or the difficulty level of action decision for the action decision managing unit, determines about whether or not to exhibit emotional expressions; and a drive control unit that, based on the determination performed by the behavior control unit, controls the execution of the actions corresponding to emotional expressions.

Control device and control method

Provided is an apparatus that includes a voice recognition section that executes a voice recognition process on a user speech and a learning processing section that executes a process of updating a degree of confidence on the basis of an interaction made between a user and the information processing apparatus after the user speech. The degree of confidence is an evaluation value indicating the reliability of a voice recognition result of the user speech. The voice recognition section generates data on degrees of confidence in recognition of the user speech in which data plural user speech candidates based on the voice recognition result of the user speech are associated with the degrees of confidence which are evaluation values each indicating reliability of the corresponding user speech candidate.

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

The present technology relates to an information processing device, an information processing method, and a program that allow authority to be delegated without bothering the user. Provided are an acquisition unit that acquires information for receiving delegation of an authority that is predetermined, a change unit that changes a level of the authority when a predetermined condition is satisfied, and a processing unit that performs a process using the authority that is predetermined. The acquisition unit acquires first information, an inquiry is made to a server using the first information to acquire second information from the server, and the authority that is predetermined is delegated by acquiring the second information. The present technology can be applied to, for example, an agent device to which the authority to access predetermined information is delegated from a user.

Method and system of passing and applying delegations of authority

An information processing apparatus includes a sound information obtaining unit, and a sound synthesizer unit. The sound information obtaining unit is configured to obtain a plurality of sound information items, the plurality of sound information items being on sounds indicating a plurality of user-selectable candidates, respectively. The sound synthesizer unit is configured to synthesize the plurality of sound information items such that output sounds indicating the plurality of candidates, respectively, at least partially overlap one another.

Information processing apparatus and information processing method

An information processing device is provided that includes: an image generation portion that generates a composite image by synthesizing a stereoscopic image with a two-dimensional image that is associated with the stereoscopic image, the stereoscopic image being generated from a right eye image and a left eye image which have parallax therebetween and on which perspective correction is performed; and an identification portion that, when a user operation on the two-dimensional image is detected, identities the stereoscopic image with which the two-dimensional image is associated, as a selected target.

Information processing device, information processing method and program

There is provided an image processing apparatus including an operation recognition unit for recognizing an operation signal for identifying a focused image among images displayed on a screen of an image display unit and an image drawing unit for drawing an image on the screen so as to display the image as a stereoscopic image or a planar image on the screen, on the basis of a recognition result provided by the operation recognition unit.

Image processing apparatus, image processing method, and computer program for user feedback based selective three dimensional display of focused objects

There is provided a display control device which includes an information acquisition unit for acquiring information related to an object image for a right eye to be observed by a right eye of a viewer and an object image for a left eye to be observed by a left eye of the viewer, a determination unit for determining whether scale correction of the information acquired by the information acquisition unit can be omitted, and a display control unit for performing control of stereoscopically displaying an object based on the information acquired by the information acquisition unit, in a case it is determined that the scale correction can be omitted.

Display control device, display control method, and program

An information processing device is provided that includes: an image generation portion that generates a composite image by synthesizing a stereoscopic image with a two-dimensional image that is associated with the stereoscopic image, the stereoscopic image being generated from a right eye image and a left eye image which have parallax therebetween and on which perspective correction is performed; and an identification portion that, when a user operation on the two-dimensional image is detected, identifies the stereoscopic image with which the two-dimensional image is associated, as a selected target.

There is provided a display control device including an image adjustment unit for taking, in a case one object image among an object image for a right eye to be observed by a right eye of a viewer and an object image for a left eye to be observed by a left eye of the viewer includes a non-matching portion not matching an other object image, the non-matching portion as an adjustment target image that is a target of adjustment, and adjusting the adjustment target image to be an image less clear than a base image that is the adjustment target image before adjustment, and a display control unit for performing control of stereoscopically displaying an object based on an object image after adjustment that is the one object image that has been adjusted by the image adjustment unit and the other object image.

There is provided an information processing device including a display control section which causes a three-dimensional space in which an object is arranged to be displayed on a display screen, an acquisition section which acquires a pointing operation in the three-dimensional space, and a position setting section which sets a pointing position in the three-dimensional space on the basis of the pointing operation. The display control section displays the pointing position in the three-dimensional space, a difference of the pointing position from a position of the object in a depth direction of the display screen having been corrected.

Information processing device, program, and information processing method

There is provided an information processing apparatus including a video acquisition section which acquires videos related to a predetermined theme shot by a plurality of imaging devices, a display control section which controls a display of a moving image editing screen including a video selection screen in which the videos acquired by the video acquisition section are arranged on a time axis based on a shooting time of each of the videos, and a moving image generation section which generates a moving image from the videos based on operation performed by a user to the moving image editing screen.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and program

An image forming apparatus includes: a storage unit that stores print data and transformation data transformed into a printable format by reflecting a print condition on the print data; a detection unit that detects an error when the transformation data stored in the storage unit is printed; a decision unit that decides a resolution print condition which is a print condition for resolving an error based on a content of the error and a device state when the error is detected; a transformation unit that acquires the print data from the storage unit and transforms the acquired print data into transformation data on which the decided resolution print condition is reflected; and a print control unit that prints the transformation data transformed by the transformation unit.
