Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a calculation section that calculates a relative position of a sound source of a virtual object to a user, the virtual object allowing a user to perceive that the virtual object exists in a real space by sound image localization, on the basis of a position of a sound image of the virtual object and a position of the user, a sound image localization section that performs a sound signal process of the sound source such that the sound image is localized at the calculated localization position, and a sound image position holding section that holds the position of the sound image. When sound to be emitted from the virtual object is to be changed over, the calculation section may refer to the position of the sound image held in the sound image position holding section to calculate the position of the sound image.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes: an action recognition unit; an audio data selection unit; and an audio information generation unit, in which the action recognition unit is configured to recognize an action pattern of a user on the basis of sensor information. The audio data selection unit is configured to select audio data corresponding to the action pattern of the user recognized by the action recognition unit. The audio information generation unit generates, on the basis of the audio data selected by the audio data selection unit, multichannel audio information for localizing a sound image of a sound source in real space around the user. The information processing apparatus makes it possible to achieve augmented reality that follows a qualitative change in the action of the user.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus obtains selection object identification information identifying a selection object to be added to a list and user identification information identifying a user who has performed an addition operation to the list. The information processing apparatus stores the selection object identification information and the user identification information in association with each other in storage means. The information processing apparatus retrieves specific information indicating a range including a selection object identified by the selection object identification information associated with the user identification information. The information processing apparatus controls modification of at least one of an excess and a deficiency of selection objects in the list, when the range of selection objects added to the list is determined to have converged based on the specific information.

Abstract: A list presentation device generates list information that is sent to a first user and includes a plurality of items each indicating a trade object, obtains an item that is selected by the first user among the plurality of items included in the list information, lowers, in a case where a first item is selected by the first user among the items included in the list information, display priority stored in a storage in association with a trade object indicated by a second item, which has been selected before by the first user among the plurality of items included in the list information, and generates new list information, which is sent to a second user, based on a transmission request from the second user and the display priority stored in the storage.

Abstract: A terminal Tn retrieves a last viewing end date and time and a last viewing end position that are associated with the content ID of content selected by a user. From among a plurality of texts contained in the content, the terminal Tn determines a range that is based on the last viewing end position and that depends on the elapsed time from the last viewing end date and time to the current time, to be coverage for generating a summary of the content. Then, the terminal Tn generates a summary of the determined coverage and presents the generated summary to the user.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes: a recognizing unit configured to recognize a terminal which is a transmission source of a signal on the basis of a detection result of the signal for radiRs111o communication for allowing terminals to perform direct communication with each other via a radio transmission path; a recording unit configured to record history information including a recognition result of the terminal and information for determining whether or not the terminal detected by a predetermined detecting unit is held by a user, for each first period; a determining unit configured to determine whether or not the terminal is held by the user on the basis of the history information recorded during a second period which is longer than the first period; and a processing unit configured to execute predetermined processing on the basis of the recognition result of the terminal and the determination result.

Abstract: An information processing device, method and computer program product use a display controller that causes a display device to display a cluster name having a data item association with a cluster of at least one data item. An operation acquisition portion is configured to acquire information associated with a user operation performed on the cluster. An editing portion edits the cluster name and data item association in accordance with the user operation. As a consequence the associations between data items may easily be formed along with associated cluster names formed.

Abstract: There is provided an information processing apparatus capable of easily sharing information on a status of a user with the other party while securing privacy on the basis of a relationship with the other party with whom the information on the status of the user is to be shared, the information processing apparatus including a control unit configured to acquire status information on a status of a first user and change granularity of the status information to be presented to a second user on the basis of a relationship between the first user and the second user.

Abstract: To enable communication between a plurality of users to continue in a more preferred mode, provided is an information processing apparatus for controlling a mode of second communication via a network between a plurality of users who are targets of interactive communication, depending on a determination result of whether first direct communication is allowed between the plurality of users.

Abstract: There is provided an information processing apparatus including an image acquisition unit configured to acquire a dish image obtained by shooting a single or multiple dishes, and a first dish recognition unit configured to recognize the single or multiple dishes included in the dish image with reference to dish data selected, from dish data registered in advance, based on a condition regarding at least one of a person relating to the dish image, a shooting environment of the dish image, a shooting place of the dish image, and a shooting time of the dish image.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a content search unit that searches for related content from compared content; the related content is content related to reference content possessed by a user, and the compared content is content other than the reference content. The information processing apparatus also includes a meta tag assignment unit that sets meta tag information, which is a name of the reference content, according to the related content.
