  • Patent number: 9524702
    Abstract: There is provided a display control device including a display controller configured to cause a display part to display a first captured image. In a case where a modification target region is detected from the first captured image, the display controller causes the display part to display a composite image in which a part or all of a second captured image is composited on the modification target region.

  • Patent number: 9497249
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus that includes circuitry configured to search for related content from compared content, the related content being content related to reference content possessed by a user, the compared content being content other than the reference content, set, in response to a selection to perform meta tag assignment processing, meta tag information, which is a name of the reference content, according to the related content, and determine, in response to a selection to perform sharing processing, whether the related content is shareable between the user who is associated with the related content and another user, based on whether a relationship exists between the user and the another user.

  • Publication number: 20150117838
    Abstract: There is provided a display apparatus including a relation score calculation unit calculating a relation score indicating closeness of a relation between characters based on a common appearance relation using segment metadata indicating a segment in a moving image where each of the characters appears, and an object display unit displaying an object corresponding to each of the characters appearing in the moving image. Further, the object display unit displays a pair of objects corresponding to a pair of characters with a high relation score to be closely positioned to each other, and displays a pair of objects corresponding to a pair of characters with a low relation score to be positioned far from each other.
