Abstract: An interactive computer system with plural displays includes a first computer, having an input device and an output including a display and a second computer having an output including display coupled to the first computer. A voice recorder is provided to create an icon representing a recorded voice, and the icon is displayed on the display of the first computer. The input device of the first computer, which may be a mouse, is adapted to drag the icon from the display of the first computer to the display of the second computer, and to reproduce the recorded voice in response to a pointer displayed on the displays and controlled by the input device.

Abstract: An interactive control system with plural displays comprising a plurality of first interactive control apparatus having input device and output device and a second interactive control apparatus connected to the first interactive control apparatus, characterized in having a registering device for registering an attribute of the first interactive control apparatus, a process executing device for executing an input process from the input device of the first interactive control apparatus to the second interactive control apparatus based on the attribute, and an output selecting device for outputting an executing result of the input process by said process executing device to the output device of the first interactive control apparatus corresponding to the attribute.

Abstract: An electric power demand prediction service method and a system therefor may derive an estimated value and/or predicted value of electric power demand of an arbitrary customer group and provide the derived information to electric power suppliers.

Abstract: An advertisement providing method is capable of providing information from an advertiser by selecting information adapting to the customer in response to a demand for information from the customer from the customer, efficiently. The method comprises checking whether a customer on access has a contract for using the information, permitting access to the information when the customer holds contract for using the information, for permitting retrieval of information registered as advertisement information by an advertiser depending upon the demand of the customer, optionally demanding additional information to the advertiser, delivering resultant information to the customer, and performing billing process for the customer and/or advertiser depending upon access record and delivery record of the customer.

Abstract: An image display includes whole image display for displaying an area viewed by a certain camera, a camera position detecting using for detecting a place which the camera is viewing and camera position display unit for specifying the area that the camera displays on the whole image on the basis of the camera position acquired by the above camera position detecting unit. A user recognizes the place in the whole image that he is watching and does not lose his location when he pans or zooms the camera.

Abstract: A video data display controlling method and system in which an image in each image area or in each partial image area of each image area to be displayed on a display screen and designated by a user is displayed at a display quality differentiated from other areas not designated. A video data display control unit stores display state data of each displayed image in a display state management table. The video data display control unit changes the display specification or attribute of each image so as to display an image having a high user interest degree with a high display quality and display an image having a low user interest with a low display quality, and transfers the changed display specification to a display specification management table of a video data input unit. A video data input unit controls a video data compressing unit to compress digital video data in accordance with the changed display specification or attribute.
