Abstract: An output control system and the like that can control output of a content having a quality the user desires is provided. A client transmits a video content output request to a server. Receiving the output request from the client, the server transmits an advertising content to the client. The client transmits output information presenting the viewing time of the advertising content to the server. The server outputs to the client a video content having a quality corresponding to the viewing time presented by the acquired output information.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus comprises a hardware processor. The hardware processor is configured to acquire a captured image of an area that includes a display area in which content is displayed by a display device and a peripheral area of the display area; acquire a content image data corresponding to the content; specify a display area in the captured image; produce process information based on the captured image; and perform image processing that includes combining an image based on the content image data with the display area of the captured image by using the process information.

Abstract: According to an embodiment of the present invention, an information output apparatus includes a content output unit configured to output a content, and a broadcast unit configured to broadcast information related to the content which is being output by the content output unit.

Abstract: According to a digital signage apparatus, when an instruction for switching of content output on an image formation unit is provided by a switch button on an operation unit, a control unit evaluates the content based on the switch operation. Specifically, when the switch button is pressed during the output of the content by the image formation unit, the control unit gives a minus evaluation point to the section of the content being output at the time of the switch operation.

Abstract: A display apparatus of an embodiment of the present invention includes a display unit, an illumination condition acquiring unit for acquiring an illumination condition including at least the direction of an external light source with respect to the display unit, a corrected image generating unit for generating a corrected image based on the illumination condition and an image to be displayed, and a display control unit for performing control to display the corrected image on the display unit.

Abstract: Plural electronic musical instruments 2 obtain proficiency level related information, that includes items such as usage amounts of plural support functions which are used by a user in performing a playing practice of a practice piece during a period from a previous practice to the last practice and a proficiency level of a playing technique of a practice piece, and supply the information to a server 1. The server stores the received proficiency level related information in a database 14. Upon receipt of the information, a controlling unit 12 of the server 1 sends back the electronic musical instrument 2 information indicating the support function most suitable for practicing the practice piece determined on the basis of the received information and a series of information stored in the database containing the proficiency level related information including the item of the proficiency level corresponding to an aimed level.

Abstract: A data access system can access a plurality of database servers distrivitively arranged on a network. A user defines and records, with respect to each of the tables stored in a database, links from the table to another table stored in another database in a data link information file and the manner of displaying data in a specification file with her/his WWW client through a WWW server and the database server. The WWW server, when the user accesses a table stored in the database through the database server from her/his WWW client, refers the data link information file and detects the link to another table in the another database, and accesses the another table. It displays accessed data items of the another table in the manner defined in the corresponding one of the specification files.

Abstract: A method and device for automatically informing an end user of a message resulting from regular analysis of data on a database. A storage 3 stores result transmission requirements 4 which is prepared for determining whether the message resulting from regular analysis of the data by a database system 1 should be transmitted to an end user 2 or not. A result fetch section 5 fetches analysis results from the database system 1. A mail host 6 transmits an e-mail addressed to the end user 2 when a fetched analysis result satisfies the result transmission requirements 4 in order to inform the end user 2 of the requirement satisfaction. The transmitted e-mail is stored in a mail server 7 via a network 8. The end user 2 obtains the e-mails addressed to him/her from the mail server 7 by operating a mail client 9. The end user 2 notices that the analysis result which satisfies the result transmission requirements 4 has been issued by the database system 1.

Abstract: A file update processing apparatus which enables execution of an intended file processing in accordance with the description contents of a correspondence slip and a generation table without requesting a system engineer to design a file processing program when a general person in charge who understands specific items required for a file in execution of daily operations sets predetermined items in the correspondence slip and the generation table so as to match his own business contents. When an original book registration slip, a journalizing table, and an expansion table are input from an input unit, an input processor registers them in correspondence with data files. A file processor generates a record on the basis of items set in the original book registration slip and items generated on the basis of the generation tables and updates the data file on the basis of this record.
