  • Patent number: 7394462
    Abstract: A superimposing apparatus and method for broadcasting a 3DCG image can calculate and superimpose additional information such as characters and figures expressed by a 3DCG image on a TV frame in real time by combining a general three-dimensional graphics accelerator board and a conventional TV broadcasting hardware and devising a software processing. The superimposing apparatus performs a rendering process for rendering a 3DCG image datum by a three-dimensional graphics accelerator and a mixing process for mixing a 3DCG image and an input TV signal by a superimposer. The rendering process is carried out concurrently with the mixing process. A frame to be mixed is a previous frame advanced by one frame from a frame to be concurrently rendered. A system memory to be read out is changed to even frames and odd frames in accordance with an input TV signal so as to avoid an interference of rendering and superimposing.

  • Patent number: 7043438
    Abstract: An administrative server interconnects user terminals through the communication network and transmits voice and/or text information submitted and received between the user terminals to a storage device. The server records in the storage device the voice and/or text information together with identification information of the user terminals that have submitted said voice and/or text information. The server retrieves words that disobey morals in the voice and/or text information recorded in the storage device. The server records disobedient data which indicates disobedience in morals in registration data of the user who submitted the voice and/or text information retrieved by the retrieval and presents the disobedient voice and/or text information and the identification information of the user at the submitting side to an administrator control table of the administrative server.
