Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying which video segment is being displayed on a screen of a television system. The video segment is identified by deriving data from the television signals, the derived data being indicative of the video segment being displayed on file screen. This feature can be used to extract a viewer's reaction (such as changing the channel) to a specific video segment (such as an advertisement) and reporting the extracted information as metrics. The systems and methods may further provide contextually targeted content to the television system. The contextual targeting is based on not only identification of the video segment being displayed, but also a determination concerning the playing time or offset time of the particular portion of the video segment being currently displayed.

Abstract: The reflection surface of a DMD is divided into a first area and a second area, causing the first area to display images while appropriately controlling the on and off states of the micromirrors within the second area on the basis of a prescribed control logic according to the on and off states of the micromirrors within the first area. Further, the DMD off-state light created in the first and second areas is caused to recurse to the DMD via a prescribed recycle optical system for the DMD off-state light, and only the second area in the reflection surface is intensively irradiated along a prescribed irradiation direction, thereby efficiently converting the DMD off-state light to the effective projection light.

Abstract: A data processing apparatus includes a power-source controller, a data processing device, a physical-layer section, a communication controller, and a state controller. The power-source controller controls a first power-source setting and a second power-source setting. The second power-source setting causes less electric power consumption than the first power-source setting. The communication controller performs the communication with the data processing device through a predetermined communication path and the physical-layer section under the first power-source setting. The communication controller stops the communication with the data processing device through the communication path and the physical-layer section under the second power-source setting. The state controller maintains the second communication state with respect to the data processing device side of the communication path while electric power supply to the physical-layer section is reduced under the second power-source setting.
