  • Patent number: 7421425
    Abstract: Data relating to a predetermined media are formed as a database which can be retrieved by key data generated based on information of a predetermined area of such media. When a predetermined media is inserted into an apparatus, data relating to corresponding media within the database is retrieved and the retrieved data can be obtained. Therefore, information relating to package media such as a CD can be provided with ease.

  • Publication number: 20050135782
    Abstract: To realize an information processing apparatus for editing data which enables editing of data intuitively with a simple operation. A track segment is displayed at a position corresponding to a track number on a first coordinate axis in a track segment display area, with a range corresponding to the period from the start time to the end time of the track on a second coordinate axis, so that it is possible to intuitively notify a user of the place in the order and the performance time of each track based on the position relationship among track segments and the length thereof. Furthermore, in response to an operation to move a track segment along the first coordinate axis, the track number of a track corresponding to the track segment is changed; the order of tracks is also changed; and in addition, the track segment is displayed as having moved to the position corresponding to the changed track number and the changed place in the order.

  • Publication number: 20030126154
    Abstract: An information providing apparatus by which the relevant information pertinent to a product and the additional information pertinent to the relevant information can be automatically acquired by exploiting identification codes, such as bar codes, without the need to effectuate manual retrieval. When a software, such as PC media player software, provided with the bar code readout function, is executed, a computer device 30 is booted in association with an enclosed database 31 forming a portion of an HDD to reprieve the product information corresponding to the bar codes. The computer device 30 may retrieve the product information using a bar code-content database 40 connected to outside over the network. The computer device 30 automatically acquires the relevant information over the Internet from the Web servers 41, 42 and 43, connected to the internet, based on the retrieved product information, for demonstration on a display unit 50.
