Abstract: An image display device and controlling method capable of optimizing a state of the image display device for a user at a desired position. The display device includes: an imaging section that takes an image of a predetermined range of a dynamic image with respect to an image display direction; an image analyzing section that analyzes the dynamic image taken by the imaging section and calculates a position of a user; a system optimization processing section that calculates system control information for optimizing a system based on the position of the user calculated by the image analyzing section; and a system controlling section that optimizes the system based on the system control information calculated by the system optimization processing section.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a sending apparatus that efficiently sends content provided by a viewer/listener to a sender and that performs live distribution using the content. Program content to be live-distributed by a user terminal (10) serving as the sender and sender specific information for specifying the user terminal (10) on the Internet (11) are distributed to a client terminal (12) via a streaming distribution server (13). Content provided by the client terminal (12) is directly sent to the user terminal (10) on the basis of the sender specific information. The user terminal (10) performs live distribution using the content that has been sent from the client terminal (12).

Abstract: An information processing apparatus including a display section to display a data, an input section to input user input information, a communication section to communicate with a server, and a control section. The control section controls a display of a received message on the display section in accordance with the input information input through the input section. The control section displays, on the display section, a post card in which information included in the received message is laid out on a template selected in advance by the server, and enables a user to judge whether the post card corresponds to a read message or an unread message by displaying the post card corresponding to the read message in different display forms from the post card corresponding to the unread message.

Abstract: Communication connection for peer-to-peer communication is established as follows. One personal computer, which wants to commence communication, transmits an electronic mail attached with an IP address of one personal computer to another personal computer, which is a desired destination. Another personal computer opens the transmitted electronic mail and obtains the IP address attached to the electronic mail, thereby establishing the communication connection. Information necessary for establishing the communication connection in peer-to-peer communication can be easily acquired.

Abstract: In an arrangement wherein a first personal computer and a second personal computer perform peer-to-peer communication, and the first personal computer has an additional function module which the second personal computer does not have, the first personal computer and the second personal computer can perform peer-to-peer communication based on the additional function module. Accordingly, the functions of a function module can be used for communication even in the event that not all terminals communicating have the function module.

Abstract: According to the present invention, when displaying a jog-dial window menu on a liquid crystal display, hierarchically-structured menu items are displayed with a hierarchy icon, thereby enabling the user to easily recognize whether or not that menu item is hierarchically structured and improving the operation of menu selection. Furthermore, scroll display of a character string indicating a menu item is performed in an identification frame, thereby enabling the user to read the entire character string from beginning to end for easy recognition thereof and improving the operation of menu selection. Still further, a character string of a menu selected from among a plurality of menu items is displayed in a different color from other character strings, thereby enabling the user to easily recognize the selected menu item and improving the operation of menu selection.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus including an image-sensing controller controlling image-sensing so as to take a picture upon detection of execution of a first operation, a word generator recognizing speech upon detection of execution of a second operation and generating a word or a phrase corresponding to the recognized voice, and a portion associating the word or a phrase with the picture. Accordingly a word, a generated phrase or the like can be easily associated with an image-sensed still picture (with ease).

Abstract: A connection is reliably made between devices having either unidirectional or bidirectional moving-image streaming function, so that information can be transferred. Each terminal notifies a connection server about which one of a bidirectional function and a unidirectional function the terminal has. The connection server notifies the functions of each terminal to the other terminals. The terminal having a unidirectional function transmits a URI for transmitting data to a terminal having a bidirectional function, with which communication is performed, but the terminal having the bidirectional function, which communicates with the terminal having a unidirectional function, does not transmit a URI used to transmit data to the terminal having a unidirectional function. The present invention can be applied to a personal computer which transfers communication data in the Internet.
