The method includes causing a computer included in the communications terminal to store first illumination setting information and second illumination setting information in the memory; causing the computer of the communications terminal to transmit, at a certain illumination start time at which the illumination device is to be turned on, a first control signal corresponding to the first illumination setting information to the illumination device such that the illumination device is set to the first illumination state; and causing the computer of the communications terminal to transmit, in a case where the sensor senses a motion of the communications terminal after the certain illumination start time has passed, a second control signal corresponding to the second illumination setting information to the illumination device such that the illumination device is set to the second illumination state.

Abstract: A content sharing system includes: a server; a first information communication apparatus; and a second information communication apparatus, in which the first information communication apparatus includes a reserve requesting unit which sends to the server a reserve request message for requesting to reserve a sharing space to be newly generated, the reserve request message including first identification information for identifying the second information communication apparatus or the user using the second information communication apparatus, and the server includes: a first storage; and a sharing space generating unit which, upon receiving the reserve request message, generates the sharing space in the first storage, and stores in the first storage the first identification information included in the reserve request message.

Abstract: A content processing device calculates a content topicality degree representing a degree of topicality of a content which serves as a topic between sharing users, based on subject information relating to a subjects in the content, sharing user information and social information; extracts a sharing user who does not appear in the subject of the content as an unappearing sharing user; calculates a content appropriateness degree representing a degree of appropriateness of the content to be shared between the sharing users in such a manner that the value for the content appropriateness degree decreases, as the degree of intimacy between the extracted unappearing sharing user and the subject increases; calculates a content evaluation value based on the content topicality degree and the content appropriateness degree; determines a priority based on the calculated content evaluation value; and controls output of the content according to the determined priority.

Abstract: A content control method according to the present disclosure includes: obtaining first content file information including attribute information items each on one of first content files which belong to a first content file group; obtaining second content file information including attribute information items each on one of second content files which belong to a second content file group; narrowing down the first content files, the narrowed-down first content files each having an attribute information item satisfying a condition which is set based on the first content file information and the second content file information; and identifying a first content file and a second content file which are partially or entirely same by matching entity information items each on one of the second content files and entity information items each on one or more of the narrowed-down first content files as matching targets.

Abstract: A content control device is provided with a receiving content accumulation unit which accumulates contents received from a terminal device connected via a network, an operation history information managing unit which manages operation history information indicative of a history on operations with respect to a first content accumulated in the receiving content accumulation unit, and a content control unit which generates control information for controlling a second content based on the operation history information, the second content corresponding to the first content and accumulated in the terminal device.

Abstract: A content processing device accumulates, at every predetermined time period, social information that defines the relationship and the degree of intimacy between users calculated based on lifelog information between the users; determines a time period when a content was generated, out of the predetermined time periods, from meta-information of the content; determines an evaluation time period from the determined time period; calculates a degree of intimacy between shared users during the evaluation time period; determines the priority of the evaluation time period according to the magnitude of the degree of intimacy; and controls output of the content generated during the evaluation time period according to the determined priority.

Abstract: Attribute information is extracted from content stored by users. A product expression model indicating a product display method is corrected using reference information pertaining to content characteristics suitable for the product expression model and using attribute information. Processing information is then determined for making the content suit the corrected product expression model. The content is processed according to the determined processing information and a product is generated using the corrected product expression model.

Abstract: A data processing apparatus (100) for outputting content data, which includes: a data output determination unit (107) which determines whether or not to output the content data using social information including (i) closeness indicating a degree of familiarity between certain users and (ii) information for associating the content data with the closeness; and an application unit (104) which outputs the content data when the data output determination unit (107) determines to output the content data. The data output determination to unit (107) refers to the social information and determines to output the content data associated with the closeness when the closeness is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: A content processing device calculates a content topicality degree representing a degree of topicality of a content which serves as a topic between sharing users, based on subject information relating to a subjects in the content, sharing user information and social information; extracts a sharing user who does not appear in the subject of the content as an unappearing sharing user; calculates a content appropriateness degree representing a degree of appropriateness of the content to be shared between the sharing users in such a manner that the value for the content appropriateness degree decreases, as the degree of intimacy between the extracted unappearing sharing user and the subject increases; calculates a content evaluation value based on the content topicality degree and the content appropriateness degree; determines a priority based on the calculated content evaluation value; and controls output of the content according to the determined priority.

Abstract: A data processing device (100) includes an input unit (101) which acquires image data, a meaning information extraction unit (102) which extracts meaning information indicating a feature of an object image included in an image represented by the image data, a compression specifying unit (103) which determines an initial value of a compression ratio, a compression unit (104) which compresses the image data according to the compression ratio to generate compressed image data, and a determination unit (103) which determines whether or not the meaning information can be extracted from the compressed image data. The compression specifying unit (103) further changes the compression ratio from the initial value according to a result of the determination by the determination unit (105), and when the compression ratio is changed, the compression unit (104) further compresses the image data according to the changed compression ratio to newly generate compressed image data.
