Publication number: 20120056877Abstract: There is provided an information processing device including a display control section which causes a three-dimensional space in which an object is arranged to be displayed on a display screen, an acquisition section which acquires a pointing operation in the three-dimensional space, and a position setting section which sets a pointing position in the three-dimensional space on the basis of the pointing operation. The display control section displays the pointing position in the three-dimensional space, a difference of the pointing position from a position of the object in a depth direction of the display screen having been corrected.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 11, 2011Publication date: March 8, 2012Inventors: Maki MORI, Yusuke Kudo, Takashi Kitao, Ryo Fukazawa

Publication number: 20090182869Abstract: A viewing effect measuring system is provided. A user terminal performs a content output process for receiving content from a content delivery apparatus and outputting the content, a Web site displaying process for accepting a request to access a Web site, while the content are outputted, accessing the Web site via the network, and displaying the Web site in such a manner as available for browsing, and a measurement information sending process for establishing an association between Web site specifying information which identifies the Web site as to which the access is requested, and content specifying information which identifies the content being outputted when the access is performed, and sending information of the association as viewing information to a measuring server. The measuring server receives the viewing information from the user terminal and sends the information to a Web server of the Web site as measurement information.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 29, 2008Publication date: July 16, 2009Inventors: Masayuki Sakata, Kenya Nishiki, Maki Mori, Erika Tanaka

Publication number: 20090094230Abstract: Related information of a content is provided quickly. A meta-information collection part 12 of a related information providing server 10 periodically collects Electronic Program Guide information as meta-data of a broadcast program from an Electronic Program Guide distribution station 70. A keyword extraction part 13 extracts keywords from the Electronic Program Guide information. A related information acquisition part 14 acquires related information that includes the keyword from a search apparatus 50, and associates the related information with the keyword and stores them in a cache memory 28. When a related information providing part 15 receives a search request with keywords for related information from a user terminal 30, the related information providing part 15 extracts related information corresponding to the keyword among the information stored in the cache memory 28, and sends the extracted information to the user terminal 30.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 15, 2008Publication date: April 9, 2009Inventors: Masayuki SAKATA, Kenya NISHIKI, Maki MORI, Erika TANAKA

Patent number: 6708183Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a scheme for distributing spatial information between information providers and information users. To achieve this object, the present invention creates a corresponding index for each spatial information. The index includes information related to a position included in spatial information, and data related to a storage location of the spatial information. This index also includes (1) a source ID for uniquely identifying spatial information; (2) coordinate translation values which are parameters used to correspond certain spatial information to other spatial information; and (3) when the spatial information including this index was created by referencing other spatial information, an underlay diagram specifying ID represented by the source ID possessed by the referenced spatial information, or the like.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2000Date of Patent: March 16, 2004Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Maki Mori, Koichi Homma, Shuji Kitazawa, Hiroshi Yajima, Yoshiaki Yoshikawa, Mitsuhiko Yoshimura, Chigusa Hamada

Patent number: 6381612Abstract: A link information management method which is capable of reducing the number of steps of a link maintenance processing of link information indicating a corresponding relationship between geographical information in a geographical information system and attribute information. To realize the method, geographical information are compared and judged by translating first geographical information based on corresponding points judged as the same points inputted on first and second geographical information by an operator. Further, update days of link information and attribute information are compared and judged, and current link information which causes the second geographical information and the attribute information to be correlated with each other is generated based on the compared and judged results of the link information and the attribute information. Then, attribute information and a closed area on the second geographical information are displayed by using the current link information thus generated.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2001Date of Patent: April 30, 2002Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Mitsuhiko Yoshimura, Maki Mori, Hiroyuki Okuda, Yoshiaki Yoshikawa

Patent number: 6208935Abstract: The present invention is directed to a map application system that employs an automatic stroll method of strolling through a virtual space into the route and distribution information change according to the interests of a user and the time of day (ie. daytime vs. nighttime, etc.). In the present invention, an article contributed to a contribution server from a contribution terminal is stored temporarily in a contribution DB. Each article is converted to information related to a spatial position by a spatial information structure process and is stored in a spatial information DB. The contribution server returns an article with the relation to the position of the neighborhood according to the input of a region name on a stroll terminal. The stroll terminal starts a stroll on the basis of a region name inputted as an initial value, and automatically sets a route on the basis of the interest information of a user. Information about the route is provided from contribution server and is appropriately displayed.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 1999Date of Patent: March 27, 2001Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Takaaki Yamada, Shuji Kitazawa, Hiroshi Tsuji, Yoshiaki Yoshikawa, Maki Mori
