  • Publication number: 20230094685
    Abstract: A stage apparatus includes a movable body having a first support surface for supporting an object, a support portion that is elastically deformable, has a predetermined thickness, and supports the movable body, a support device having a second support surface that supports the support portion, and a drive unit configured to move the movable body so that an angle between the first support surface and the second support surface is changed, wherein the support portion elastically deforms so that the predetermined thickness at a first side where an interval between the first support surface and the second support surface is narrow becomes small and the predetermined thickness at a second side where the interval between the first support surface and the second support surface is wide becomes large in accordance with a change in the angle caused by the drive unit to support the movable body.

  • Patent number: 9667748
    Abstract: There is provided a client device including a storage section which stores content data, a control section which acquires content identification information for identifying the content data stored in the storage section, and a transmission section which transmits, to a server device, a registration request including user identification information for identifying a user who uses the client device and the content identification information acquired by the control section, and which, when the server device holds the content data identified by the content identification information, causes the server device to hold information obtained by associating the user identification information with the content identification information as user-specific registration information.

  • Patent number: 8818866
    Abstract: An advertisement inserted in contents of, for example, a game does not serve its purpose after a while. An advertisement-information reception unit (112) receives an advertisement-space definition file (32). The advertisement-space definition file (32) is a file that defines an advertisement space for an advertisement to be inserted when contents are displayed and an advertising agency is assigned to the advertisement space. An assignment changing unit (116) cancels the assignment of an advertising agency, whose license has expired, to the advertisement space even when the advertising agency is assigned to the advertising space in the advertisement-space definition file (32). An advertisement downloading unit (118) downloads advertisement data to be inserted in the advertisement space from the server of the advertising agency validly assigned to the advertisement space.

  • Patent number: 7180527
    Abstract: This invention is relative with a text displaying terminal unit used for preparation, transmission/reception and display of a text message. A text message entered by a user is collated to a keyword and, if there is a keyword in the text, displaying attributes of the text and/or the background image are added to the text to send the resulting text added by the displaying attributes to a server (400). Alternatively, the server may collate the text to the keyword to add the displaying attributes of the text and/or the background image to the text. A receiving side terminal unit receives an XML document (240b), added by the displaying attributes, from the server to display the XML document added by the displaying attributes as a motion text message. This motion text message may also be provided by the server to the user as the Web information.
