Abstract: To provide a moving body that is capable of more flexible movement. Provided is a moving body including four or more legs that have wheels at ends thereof and are able to be controlled along two or more axes, and a body supported at the four or more legs, in which the four or more legs include two or more front wheel legs that are capable of swinging forward in an advancing direction of the body, and two or more rear wheel legs that are capable of swinging backward in the advancing direction of the body, and the front wheel legs and the rear wheel legs are capable of swinging to such positions that the wheels overlap one another in a direction orthogonal to the advancing direction.

Abstract: An information processing device is provided that includes an operation control unit which controls the operations of an autonomous mobile object that performs an action according to a recognition operation. Based on the detection of the start of teaching related to pattern recognition learning, the operation control unit instructs the autonomous mobile object to obtain information regarding the learning target that is to be learnt in a corresponding manner to a taught label. Moreover, an information processing method is provided that is implemented in a processor and that includes controlling the operations of an autonomous mobile object which performs an action according to a recognition operation. Based on the detection of the start of teaching related to pattern recognition learning, the controlling of the operations includes instructing the autonomous mobile object to obtain information regarding the learning target that is to be learnt in a corresponding manner to a taught label.

Abstract: A device and method for acquiring captured image data obtained by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), identifying a direction that a target appearing in the captured image data faces, outputting an approach curve used to move the UAV from a current UAV position to a UAV position closer to the face of the person based on the identified direction that the face of the person faces, where the approach curve includes an arc portion connecting the current position to a straight line portion at an approach contact point located a predetermined distance in front of the face of the person, the straight line portion connecting the approach contact point to the position closer to the face of the person.

Abstract: It is intended to allow an orientation of a mobile device observed in imaging data to be more appropriately specified. There is provided an information processing device (100) including an acquisition unit (111c) that acquires the imaging data and a direction specification unit (111c) that analyzes the imaging data to specify the orientation of the mobile device observed in the imaging data.

Abstract: To enable a direction that a target appearing in captured image data faces to be identified more appropriately. Provided is an information processing device including an acquisition unit configured to acquire captured image data obtained by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) by performing aerial image capturing, and a direction identification unit configured to identify a direction that a target appearing in the captured image data faces, by analyzing the captured image data.

Abstract: A type of a calculation process being executed internally is indicated by a motion to a user. An animal-shaped autonomous mobile object including a housing having a shape of an animal, a calculation section, and a motion controller that causes the housing to perform a motion corresponding to a type of a calculation process that the calculation section is executing.

Abstract: A sales system according to an embodiment includes a sales management device and a license management device. When a recording medium on which a digital content is recorded has been sold from a final seller to an end user through the distribution channel of the recording medium, the sales management device communicates the sales information to the license management device. On condition that the sales information has been communicated from the sales management device, the license management device provides a license for enabling the use of the digital content to the user terminal. When the recording medium has been sold to the end user, the sales management device supports transferring part of the sales price of the recording medium to the intermediate seller involving the distribution of the recording medium.

Abstract: An attribute detector detects the attributes of a user of a program. A determining unit determines, based on the detected attribute of a user, whether the user is a superior user for whom usage restriction is not necessary or a subordinate user for whom the usage restriction is necessary, for a program of a first type. The program of the first type is a program appealing to the taste of the user and that is frequently run by the user for many hours. When the user is verified to be the subordinate user and also when the user has executed a program of a second type for a predetermined number of recommended executions, a permission/rejection determining unit permits the execution of the program of the first type.

Abstract: A terminal device reliably controlling the usage right with improved convenience is provided. The terminal device reads out a medium identifier held in a computer-readable content recording medium. Usage rights information for each content held in a computer-readable usage rights recording medium is read out, and the usage rights information read out from the usage rights recording medium is set unusable. Authentication information including the readout medium identifier and at least part of the usage rights information for each content is produced and stored, and the stored authentication information is subjected to a predetermined process for determining whether or not to grant access to the content held in the content recording medium.
