Abstract: To solve such a problem, demand categories are prepared. ‘Demand categories’ are units of classification for demand. Where the demand included in the ‘demand categories’ is concerned, any attribute such as the contract type, industry type, demand location, and demand generation period constitute the same demand. For example, a management apparatus comprises a sales income calculation unit which calculates sales income derived from supplying demand by using a time interval-differentiated fee unit price for each demand category and a power usage value, an earnings prediction spread calculation unit which compares earnings for each of a plurality of future volume estimation time series relating to power usage volumes of predetermined periods of the demand categories, and a fee unit price search unit which searches for a fee unit price satisfying a limiting condition based on a comparison result.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a program that are capable of providing better user experience. An information processing apparatus includes an activation word setting unit that sets, on the basis of a detection result of detecting a user operation, a word used as an activation word for activating a predetermined function, the activation word being uttered by a user, the number of activation words being increased or decreased by the setting; and an activation word recognition unit that performs speech recognition on speech uttered by the user and recognizes that the word set by the activation word setting unit to be used as the activation word is uttered. The present technology is applicable to, for example, a wearable terminal provided with a speech recognition function.

Abstract: The invention is directed to predicting demand under circumstances in which continuous total contracted demand characteristics vary within a short time period.

Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes a storage section, a first generation section, a second generation section, an update section, and an output section. The storage section stores contents, titles thereof, and viewing history information on viewing histories of the contents by a user. The first generation section generates, based on the stored viewing history information, recommendation display information containing as a recommended-content list a list of titles of contents that the user has not viewed among the stored contents. The second generation section generates dependence information on first and second contents among the stored contents by analyzing text information on a network, the second content being created dependently on the first content. The update section updates, based on the dependence information, the recommendation display information so that the user is prevented from viewing the second content before the first content.
