Abstract: An apparatus includes a receiver, a shared information unit, a transmitter, a voice recognition unit, and an application execution unit. The receiver is configured to receive a voice signal and information from a second apparatus. The shared information unit is configured to create shared information shared by both the apparatus and the second apparatus based on the information received from the second apparatus. The transmitter is configured to transmit the shared information to the second apparatus. The voice recognition unit is configured to analyze the voice signal. The application execution unit is configured to execute an application based on a result generated by the voice recognition unit.

Abstract: There is provided an information-sharing device including, in a second device connected to a first device, an information obtaining unit which obtains, through a communication unit of the second device, first application information indicating an application possessed by the first device, a shared information generating unit which generates shared information shared by the first device and the second device, based on the first application information obtained by the information obtaining unit, and a transmission control unit which transmits the shared information through the communication unit to the first device.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a content reproduction apparatus including: a reproduction block configured to reproduce video content; a display block configured to display the reproduced video content; a communication block configured to transmit the video content to a portable reproduction apparatus by wireless communication; a speaker block having at least one first speaker located in proximity and at least one second speaker located in the proximity of the portable reproduction apparatus; and an audio output control block configured to control a reproduction state of the speaker block. In a state where the video content is displayed on the display block, each of the first speaker and the second speaker reproduces audio content related with the video content. In a content non-share state, the audio output control block controls audio output such that the second speaker does not reproduce audio content related with the video content.

Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes a main body and a panel unit removable from the main body. The electronic apparatus also includes an attachment unit in the panel unit that indirectly attaches a removable memory device to the main body through the panel unit. The main body includes a control unit that logically disconnects a data line logically connecting the removable memory device to the main body through the attachment unit, upon an operation before a power line electrically connecting the removable memory device to the main body through the attachment unit is physically disconnected.

Abstract: The present invention is equipped with a USB interface 7 for being connected to a portable music player that is an external device, a browser button 27, a rotary encoder button 26, a back button 28, CPU 31 for acquiring a content list CL from the portable music player, RAM 33 for storing the content list CL acquired by the CPU 31, and a LED processing section 42 for changing how the rotary encoder button 26 illuminates to encourage the next operation at a time when the browse button 27 is operated. Accordingly, when searching pieces of music content stored in the portable music player that is an external device, one can unknowingly understand how to operate, thereby providing good operability even for searching pieces of music content of the external portable music player.

Abstract: A security-feature-equipped on-vehicle device includes: a vibration detection unit that detects vibration; an alarm sound output unit that outputs a predetermined alarm sound from a speaker; and an alarm sound control unit that going outs from a sleep mode to move into a warning mode when vibration is detected for the first time by the vibration detection unit, causes the alarm sound output unit to output the alarm sound at a predetermined first volume level, shifts from the warning mode into an alarm mode when vibration is detected for the second time within a predetermined time period, and causes the alarm sound output unit to output the alarm sound at a predetermined second volume level higher than the first volume level.
