  • Patent number: 11869197
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a specification unit, a determination unit, and a generation unit. The specification unit specifies a relationship between a plurality of objects detected in a video. The determination unit determines arrangement of motion trajectories of the plurality of objects, the relationship between which has been specified by the specification unit, while maintaining a relative appearance order in the video and avoiding an overlap of the motion trajectories in a temporal direction. The generation unit generates a summary video of the video based on the arrangement determined by the determination unit.

  • Patent number: 8665207
    Abstract: A display control apparatus includes an input unit which has plural types of keys and accepts an operation of a key from the user, a display unit which displays a screen which allows the user to operate the input unit, and a display controller which selectively displays plural screens of the display unit in accordance with the types of keys operated on the input unit. When the display controller controls the display unit to display a screen for making the user make a key operation using any one type of key of the plural types of keys, and accepts an operation of a key of a type other than the any one type of key, it switches the screen to another screen for making the user make an operation using the other type of key.

  • Patent number: 8423916
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus inputs a coordinate value of a position designated on a screen which displays one or a plurality of objects, compares an input locus expressed by the input coordinate value string with a second locus, which is defined in advance as a locus used to give the instruction to execute a process for an object, and determines whether the input locus is a first locus or the second locus. When it is determined that the input locus is the first locus, the apparatus selects an object from the one or plurality of objects based on the display positions of the input locus and the object on the screen. When it is determined that the input locus is the second locus, the apparatus executes a process designated by the input locus with respect to the selected object.

  • Patent number: 8214755
    Abstract: An object is designated as a designated object. Two or more image data items containing objects each being different from the designated object by an amount smaller than or equal to a first predetermined value are selected from among a specific image data item group. The selected two or more image data items are displayed in two or more display regions provided on a display unit. The objects each being different from the designated object by the amount smaller than or equal to the first predetermined value are defined as main objects, the two or more image data items are adjusted such that differences in position and size of the main objects in the display regions between the two or more image data items are made smaller than or equal to a second predetermined value, and the adjusted two or more image data items are displayed.

    Abstract: The processing time including that for the process of expanding vector data representing each of a plurality of objects constituting an image into each object is acquired. The time taken to reproduce the image by using the vector data representing each of the plurality of objects is specified based on the acquired processing time. When the specified time exceeds a predetermined threshold, data, of the vector data representing the plurality of objects, which is to be converted into data in a raster format in advance is determined based on each acquired processing time, the specified time, and the predetermined threshold.

  • Publication number: 20090259952
    Abstract: UI widget content includes reference information by which its own UI widget refers to a child UI widget, and a description of an initial-focus designation for designating which of its own UI widget and child UI widget will have initial focus. A self-UI widget is generated, a child UI widget associated with the self-UI widget is generated based upon the reference information, and a UI widget hierarchy is thus built. A path is followed from a root of the UI widget hierarchy to a child UI widget designated by the corresponding initial-focus designation information. When a UI widget for which a child UI widget has not been designated in the corresponding reference information is retrieved, it is determined that this UI widget is the UI widget having the initial focus.
