The present disclosure may be applied to back-illuminated CMOS image sensors, for example.

Abstract: The present invention has been made to facilitate search or management of video data. The present invention generates a display space defined by display axes determined by feature parameters representing the feature of video data or audio data or associated parameters linked to the video data or audio data, converts feature values designated by the feature parameters or associated values designated by the associated parameters into coordinate parameters corresponding to a position on the display axes on the display space, and displays the video data through a display window on the display space in accordance with the change of the position corresponding to the converted coordinate parameters.

Abstract: An information processing method includes generating a state transition diagram based on state transition information; displaying the state transition diagram; manipulating the displayed state transition diagram; updating the state transition information in accordance with how the state transition diagram has been manipulated; and storing a position of a state designated as a transition starting state by the manipulating step. When the position of the transition starting state has been specified by the manipulating step, the displaying step displays as a pointer an icon indicating that the position of the transition starting state has been specified.

Abstract: An information retrieval device, including a jog-dial, a screen, a first level item processing unit to display at least a part of first level information items in a virtual ring segment on the screen, wherein first level information items are rotated and thereby the displayed first level information items are changed by rotating the jog-dial, and a first level capturing unit to select a first level information item that is displayed at a predetermined position by pressing the jog-dial. The information retrieval device also includes at least one respective further level information item processing unit to display at least a part of respective further level information items corresponding to an information item selected in the next lower level information items in a virtual ring segment around the virtual ring segment defined by the next lower level information items on the screen.
