Abstract: An apparatus performs in parallel a first communication conforming to a first wireless communication method and a second communication conforming to a second wireless communication method by distributing transmission data to the first communication and the second communication so that first and second transmission data are distributed to the first and second communications, respectively. The apparatus detects an unallocated data amount indicating an amount of a first portion of the first transmission data that is different from a second portion of the first transmission data that is allocated to wireless resources of the first communication. The apparatus controls, based on the detected unallocated data amount, a ratio of an amount of the first transmission data distributed to the first communication, to a total amount of transmission data distributed to both the first and second communications.

Abstract: In object recognition using image information, countermeasures are taken for reducing erroneous judgment caused when the similarity between a visual feature of an object image and a visual feature of dictionary data of another object becomes high in association with a temporal change. In a dictionary update method for a computer for updating dictionary data in which a visual feature of an object which a user desires to recognize is registered: when there are a plurality of data pieces having a visual feature similar to the inputted inquiry image, visual features of a plurality of objects are concluded as being similar and hence the pair of objects are accumulated into a similar object accumulation section; and when the objects accumulated in the similar object accumulation section have reached a condition set forth in advance, data having the visual features of the objects having reached the condition is concluded as requiring update and hence update is recommended to a user having registered the object.
