  • Patent number: 9934038
    Abstract: An acquisition unit acquires a command that is executable by a processor of an other type being a processor of a different type from a processor of a processing execution subject apparatus. An identification unit identifies processing that is executable by the processor of the processing execution subject apparatus which is associated with the command acquired by the acquisition unit. An execution control unit controls execution of the processing performed by the processor of the processing execution subject apparatus based on a value of a parameter which is set in a specific command for the processor of the other type, the value of the parameter which is set in the specific command not affecting execution of processing performed by the processor of the other type.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8144991
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a selecting unit for selecting extraction information concerning contents to be extracted from among a plurality of contents organized in time sequence, the extraction information prepared on a per content basis for the contents to be extracted and including a feature contained in the content to be extracted, and an extraction range that is represented with respect to the position of the feature, a detecting unit for detecting, from the contents, the same feature as the feature contained in the extraction information selected by the selecting unit, and an extracting unit for extracting a predetermined content in accordance with the extraction range contained in the extraction information selected by the selecting unit if the detecting unit detects the same feature as the feature contained in the extraction information.

  • Patent number: 7876480
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a selector for selecting removal information concerning contents to be removed, the removal information prepared on a per content basis for the contents to be removed and including a value uniquely determined from data within a data range of whole or part of a content to be removed, a first range that is the data range, and a second range that is a removal range represented by the position of the first range, a detector for detecting a range at a predetermined position within the whole content, having the same range as the first range contained in the removal information selected by the selector and the same value as the value uniquely determined and contained in the removal information, and a remover for removing a predetermined content based on the second range contained in the removal information selected by the selector if the detector detects the range at the predetermined position.

  • Patent number: 7356726
    Abstract: A frequency control apparatus and an information processing apparatus includes an observation section for observing an operation state of a control object which operates with a variably controlled frequency, a frequency determination section for determining a clock frequency in response to the operation state, and a frequency limitation section for limiting a range or a value of the clock frequency determined by the frequency determination section. If the frequency determined in response to the operation state of the control object is within an allowable range, the control is performed with the frequency, but if the frequency is outside the allowable range, the frequency is limited to the range.

  • Publication number: 20060212247
    Abstract: A frequency control apparatus and an information processing apparatus are disclosed wherein it is possible, in control of an operation frequency of a control object performed in response to a result of observation of an operation state of the control object, to limit the operation frequency or designate an allowable value or the like to achieve improvement in performance and power-saving. The frequency control apparatus (1) includes an observation section (3) for observing an operation state of a control object (2) which operates with a variably controlled frequency, a frequency determination section (4) for determining a clock frequency in response to the operation state, and a frequency limitation section (5) for limiting a range or a value of the clock frequency determined by the frequency determination section (4).
