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.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus that includes circuitry configured to search for related content from compared content, the related content being content related to reference content possessed by a user, the compared content being content other than the reference content, set, in response to a selection to perform meta tag assignment processing, meta tag information, which is a name of the reference content, according to the related content, and determine, in response to a selection to perform sharing processing, whether the related content is shareable between the user who is associated with the related content and another user, based on whether a relationship exists between the user and the another user.

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: 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: 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 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 photography apparatus includes: an imaging unit configured to image a subject and acquire photographed image data; a display unit configured to perform an image display; and a control unit; wherein the control unit executes reading processing for reading out, from a storage medium which stores template information arranged to fit and display photographed image data imaged by the imaging unit into a target region within display screen data according to a predetermined display format, the template information, wherein instruction information for instructing what sort of image should be photographed as the photographed image data to be fit and displayed in the target region is correlated therewith, and instruction information display control processing for controlling the display unit so as to display the instruction information in a correlated manner with the target region, in accordance with the template information.

Abstract: An information processor includes a detection unit detecting a photographic subject region of an image, a characteristic amount generation unit generating a characteristic amount including at least positional information of the photographic subject region for each of the detected photographic subject region, a combined characteristic amount generation unit generating a combined characteristic amount corresponding to the image by combining the characteristic amount generated for each of the photographic subject region, and an identification unit identifying a label corresponding to a combination of a photographic subject appearing in the image based on the generated combined characteristic amount.

Abstract: Hydroxycarboxylic acids are produced by using a microorganism that is improved in ability to produce nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide by deleting, mutating or substituting nadR gene in the microorganism or introducing a gene encoding nicotinic acid phosphoribosyltransferase.

Abstract: An information processor includes a detection unit detecting a photographic subject region of an image, a characteristic amount generation unit generating a characteristic amount including at least positional information of the photographic subject region for each of the detected photographic subject region, a combined characteristic amount generation unit generating a combined characteristic amount corresponding to the image by combining the characteristic amount generated for each of the photographic subject region, and an identification unit identifying a label corresponding to a combination of a photographic subject appearing in the image based on the generated combined characteristic amount.

Abstract: Provided is a display control device, including a display control section that displays a plurality of images in a display section in time series in accordance with a plurality of pieces of effect information set for the plurality of images, an aspect ratio determination section that determines an aspect ratio of the display section, and an effect information selection section that selects, from the plurality of pieces of effect information set for respective aspect ratios, a piece of the effect information corresponding to the aspect ratio of the display section as effect information for use in display of the plurality of images.
