Abstract: Time spent for the editing operation by a user when a template part in which content is embedded is changed to a new template part is reduced. In a page editing unit, a parts information storage unit stores information on template parts, a part inserting unit retrieves a first template part from the parts information storage unit, and a display unit displays the first template part. An operation reception unit accepts an operation to change the first template part to a second template part, and, in response to the operation, a candidate generating unit displays candidates for the second template part obtained by filtering based on a change rule on the display unit. Moreover, a change processing unit embeds, in an appropriate area in the second template part, content embedded in the first template part in response to an operation to select the second template part from the candidates.

Abstract: In recording and reproducing a program contents, a first difference between a desired playback start time and a time corresponding to a desired recorded video position of said program is calculated, then a second difference between the desired start time of the program and a desired end time of the program is calculated. Then, based on the first and the second differences, a plurality of predetermined speeds are used sequentially to playback the recorded program.

Abstract: A dictionary updating system is provided. In one embodiment, the system comprises a terminal having a first dictionary for converting input conversion source information to conversion destination information and an updating processing server for updating the first dictionary of the terminal via a network. The terminal comprises a first dictionary storage unit for storing the first dictionary, a conversion processing information storage unit for storing conversion processing information obtained during processing of converting the conversion source information to the conversion destination information using the first dictionary, and a conversion processing information transmitting unit for transmitting the conversion processing information to the updating processing server.
