Abstract: A technology is disclosed by which, when plural content data are successively transmitted from a server apparatus to a reproduction apparatus through a client apparatus, if the transmission is interrupted, the transmission of the content data can be resumed from the point at which the transmission is interrupted. The transfer device includes a storage section for storing a transmission object list including content identification information corresponding to plural content data to be transmitted from a server apparatus to a reproduction apparatus connected to a client apparatus through the client apparatus. A reception section successively receives the content data from the server apparatus. A transmission section successively transfers the successively received content data to the reproduction apparatus. A control section deletes, every time content data is transferred, the corresponding content identification information from the transmission object list stored in the storage section.

Abstract: An operation input device system and method are provided. The operation input device includes a touch pad having an operation plate on a surface of which an operation surface is formed. The touch pad is configured to sense an object in contact with or in proximity to the operation surface to receive input corresponding to a position of the sensed object. A hole portion provided to penetrate through the operation plate and a protrusion member inserted into the hole portion. The operation input device also includes a drive mechanism provided on a back surface side of the operation plate and configured to cause an advancing/retracting operation of the protrusion member along a direction intersecting the operation surface between a first state in which a distal end portion of the protrusion member is above the operation surface and a second state in which the distal end portion is not above the operation surface.

The touch pad is configured to sense an object in contact with or in proximity to the operation surface to receive input corresponding to a position of the sensed object. A plurality of protrusion members are provided having distal end portions which are configured to penetrate through the operation plate to protrude from the operation surface. The system also includes a state sensing section that senses a first state in which at least one of the distal end portions are above the operation surface and a second state in which no distal end portions are above the operation surface and an input reception section that receives input when the protrusion member has been changed from the first state to the second state.

Abstract: Movement guidance display systems, methods, and programs display a movable body that is located in a shielded space shielded by shielding members. The systems, methods, and programs display a vicinity image on a display device showing a vicinity environment outside the shielded space by translucently displaying the shielding members. The displayed vicinity image has a viewpoint from an inside of the shielded space. The systems, methods, and programs display shape determining objects superimposed on the shielding members in the vicinity image. The shape determining objects indicate a shape of the shielded space.

Abstract: Information is acquired that indicates a current road on which a vehicle is traveling. Information is acquired that relates to a plurality of branching roads that branch off from the current road at a branching point that lies ahead in the direction of movement of the vehicle. In a situation where route guidance is not being used, a determination is made as to whether or not there is a possibility that the vehicle will proceed on one of the branching roads that is of a different type from the current road, instead of on one of the branching roads that is of the same type as the current road and has an attribute that is of the same type as an attribute of the current road. If it is determined that there is a possibility that the vehicle will proceed on one of the branching roads that is of a different type, guidance is performed that informs the driver that the possibility exists.

Abstract: Navigation devices, methods, and programs obtain information indicating a route of a host vehicle, obtain information indicating a position of the host vehicle, and obtain information indicating a form of a number (N) of successive curves (where N is an integer of 2 or more) in front of the host vehicle position on the route. The devices, methods, and programs excite a vibrator provided at a position where contact with a driver of the host vehicle is possible in a vibration mode corresponding to the form of the N successive curves when the host vehicle reaches a position at a predetermined distance from the closest curve among the N successive curves.

Abstract: A braking force application control is performed when a change in a driver's posture takes place while a brake pedal is turned on when a vehicle is stopped. As a consequence, in a case in which the driver's posture changes such as when the driver turns to a rear seat side to get something without intending to release depression of the brake pedal, creep of the vehicle that the driver does not intend to happen can be inhibited. Furthermore, the vehicle stop retention is only performed when a travelling direction is a forward direction or a seatbelt is worn. As a result, performance of the vehicle stop retention can be inhibited when it is considered that the driver intentionally desires to let the vehicle creep.

Abstract: Apparatus for collecting information pertaining to a driver of the vehicle includes a unit for determining if the current load on the driver is a “low-load” in terms of satisfaction of one or more specific conditions. Driver information is stored and supplemented by answers to question scenarios communicated to the driver only when a “low-load” state is determined. A question information storage unit contains various question scenarios correlated with different items of driver information and from which a question scenario, corresponding to driver information not yet obtained, is retrieved for output when a “low load” is determined.

Abstract: An agent apparatus has a system capable of executing, periodically or when a particular condition is satisfied, processing to judge whether or not a condition to autonomously start (automatically present) an agent is satisfied based on scenario data created by a scenario creating apparatus, and automatically presenting the agent when the condition is satisfied. Thus, in the scenario creating apparatus, regardless of whether having knowledge of programming or not, it is possible to create and edit scenario data of an agent which automatically appears and responds when a particular condition is satisfied by having a scenario editor.
