Abstract: A GUI member is operated to let a user feel as if operation of a real object is realized. An imaging unit captures fingers of an operator. A system control unit detects the finger portion from the image captured by the imaging unit. The system control unit combines images in such a manner that the GUI member is positioned on a finger portion of a palm side and a finger portion of a back side is positioned on the GUI member from the image of the finger portions detected from the captured image, and displays the combined image on a display unit.

Abstract: It is provided a video distribution system including a video distribution module, a control module, and a bookmark management module. The bookmark management module manages a first type bookmark whose status is not changed by viewing of the video and a second type bookmark whose status is changeable after the viewing of the video. The control module generates screen data that enables one of the first type bookmark and the second type bookmark to be selected with regard to the video stored in the library, transmits the generated screen data to the one of the receiving terminals, and sets one of the first type bookmark and the second type bookmark, which is selected by a user using the one of the receiving terminals, for the video and record the one of the first type bookmark and the second type bookmark in the bookmark management module.

Abstract: In this video delivery device including: a storage device storing key frame information including a key frame number included in a contents file and offset from the beginning of a file; and a delivery control unit, which executes delivery in a predetermined cycle, the delivery control unit refers to the key frame information cycle by cycle in executing the trick play, and transmits the key frame having the offset closest to the delivery time among the key frames included in the contents file.

Abstract: In an operation of a GUI member, operation feeling as if a user is operating a real object is realized. An imaging unit captures fingers of an operator. A system control unit detects the finger portion from the image captured by the imaging unit. The system control unit combines images in such a manner that the GUI member is positioned on a finger portion of a palm side and a finger portion of a backside is positioned on the GUI member from the image of the finger portions detected from the captured image, and displays the combined image on a display unit.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an imaging apparatus capable of shifting to a panoramic shooting function based on a user's intention without performing a complicated setting operation. In a digital camera, when a zoom operation member is operated again to a wide-angle side within a predetermined length of time after the zoom operation member has been operated to the wide-angle end, the process shifts to the panoramic shooting mode.

Abstract: In this video delivery device including: a storage device storing key frame information including a key frame number included in a contents file and offset from the beginning of a file; and a delivery control unit, which executes delivery in a predetermined cycle, the delivery control unit refers to the key frame information cycle by cycle in executing the trick play, and transmits the key frame having the offset closest to the delivery time among the key frames included in the contents file.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a technology for satisfactorily realizing trick play in a video-on-demand system that transmits video contents to video receivers. For example, even when the interval between key frames which is coded in intra-frame coding is unequal and the data size of a key frame is not uniform, trick play can be achieved using the key frames within a permissible transmission bit rate. Herein, the transmission start time instant and transmission completion time instant of each key frame that should be transmitted are calculated. If the transmission completion time instant of a preceding key frame and the transmission start time instant of a succeeding key frame are incompatible with each other, the transmission of the succeeding key frame is canceled. If the above time instants are compatible, the succeeding key frame is transmitted at the transmission start time instant.

Abstract: A fitness machine includes a framework, a swinging device pivotally connected with the framework, a transmission mechanism having a driving device and a driven device respectively movably connected with the swinging device, and an operating device connected with the driven device. When the swinging device is turned, the driving device drives the driven device to rotate to further turn the operating device.
