  • Patent number: 9712470
    Abstract: A server apparatus which, when a viewer inputs a message, such as a comment, makes it possible to post a relevant comment by referring to another comment posted slightly earlier. Upon receipt of a posting request for posting a message from an information processing apparatus, a comment manager generates a posting reception notification indicative of information related to a reception sequence number of the posting request. The comment manager transmits the posting reception notification to the information processing apparatus. The comment manager receives not only the posted message but also the posting reception notification, and stores the message in a memory if there is no posting request made from another apparatus with a reception sequence number later in sequential order than the reception sequence number indicated by the posting reception notification.

  • Publication number: 20040236768
    Abstract: A plurality of items of data having different file formats are selected. And then, to the selected items of data, processing corresponding to their file formats is performed respectively and the items of data are transmitted to a network together with the results of processing. For example, one of the processing corresponding to the file formats is the processing which changes first attribute information that belongs to data having a first file format to a format of second attribute information that belongs to data having a second file format. According to the present invention, data which is a mixture of different file formats such as image group including still images and moving images can be uploaded collectively to a data holding system and can be managed based on using common attribute information.
