Abstract: A first device according to one embodiment includes, but is not limited to, receiver circuitry, determinator circuitry, and transmitter circuitry. The receiver circuitry is configured and/or programmed to receive from a second device, first information for controlling a third device. The determinator circuitry is configured and/or programmed to determine whether or not the first information is to be transmitted to the third device, based on whether or not the first information is associated with second information stored in the first device. The second information includes at least a first operation command for controlling a first operation of the third device. The transmitter circuitry is configured and/or programmed to, in a case that the first information is determined to be transmitted to the third device, transmit the first information to the third device.

The receiver circuitry is configured and/or programmed to receive from a second device, first information for controlling a third device. The determinator circuitry is configured and/or programmed to determine whether or not the first information is to be transmitted to the third device, based on the first information received and second information stored in the first device. The second information regards at least a first parameter of the third device that the second device is authorized to control. The transmitter circuitry is configured and/or programmed to, in a case that the first information is determined to be transmitted to the third device, transmit the first information to the third device.

Abstract: The content display device includes (i) a display section for displaying, on a screen (20), a plurality of thumbnail images (12) arranged in a first arrangement, (ii) an input operation section for accepting, from a user, an input of an instruction on changing a display size of the thumbnail image (12), a scaling up/down display processing section for changing a display size of a predetermined number of thumbnail images (12), and a moving display processing section for moving the predetermined number of thumbnail images (12) on the screen (20) such that the predetermined number of thumbnail images (12) are displayed in a second arrangement.

Abstract: An operation accepting device specifies a contact part of a hand of an operator contacted with a touch panel section on the basis of light intensity of ambient light passing through the touch panel section. The operation accepting device specify, on the basis of the specified contact part, at least one operation out of a circular palm sliding operation, a linear palm sliding operation, a circular fingertip sliding operation and a linear fingertip sliding operation. The operation accepting device accepts the specified operation on the basis of the contact part detected by the touch panel section.

Abstract: Data falsification or the like is prevented and security is enhanced in an IC tag. The IC tag consists of three portions: separable portions A1 and A2, and a non-separable portion B (tag main body). The portions A1, A2, and B include IC1, IC2, and IC3, and antenna 1, antenna 2, and antenna 3, respectively, the antennas being an interface between the tag and the outside (a reader/writer device for the exchange of data with the tag). IC1 (10) and IC2 (20) are connected by a signal line L1 for signal transmission between IC1 (10) and IC2 (20). IC2 (20) and IC3 (30) are connected by a signal line L2 for signal transmission between IC2 (20) and IC3 (30). Upon separation of A1 from the tag main body, the signal line L1 is also severed. Similarly, upon separation of A2 from the tag main body, the signal line L2 is severed.

Abstract: An advertisement distributing system, advertisement distributing server, and advertisement distributing method, program and recording medium are provided for encouraging the users to buy a product in such a manner that the most suitable program video scene is selected in accordance with the advertisement distributed by an advertiser, and distributed to the users with the advertisement. An advertising video searching unit of a server, based on an advertisement ID received from a first terminal device, searches through advertisement video, extracts a video ID corresponding to the advertisement ID and outputs it to a viewing history searching unit. A viewing history searching unit determines whether the video ID has been stored in viewing history that reflects user's taste, and outputs the corresponding video ID if it is found, to a content synthesizer. The content synthesizer distributes the advertisement data and video data to the first terminal device.
