A topic cluster extraction device extracts topic clusters belonging to the same topic from a plurality of documents. A keyword extraction device extracts, as a characteristic keyword group, a predetermined number of keywords from the topic cluster in descending order of appearance frequency. A topic structurization determination device determines whether the topic can be structurized, by segmenting the topic cluster into subtopic clusters with reference to the number of documents, the variance of dates contained in the documents, or the C-value of keyword contained in the documents, as a determination criterion. And a keyword presentation device presents the characteristic keyword group in the subtopic cluster upon arranging the keyword group on the basis of the date information.

Abstract: A finder display processing unit displays a finder image on a finder screen, measures the distance through triangulation from a stereo camera to a part of a subject expressed in a designated region on the finder image, and designates the shortest distance and the farthest distance from the stereo camera to the subject on the basis of the distance acquired through distance measurement. A finder display processing unit specifies as an effective range candidate a range where the imaging ranges of the first imaging unit and a second imaging unit overlap, specifies an effective range candidate at the shortest distance and an effective range candidate at the farthest distance on the first photographed image, and specifies the range where these effective range candidates overlap as the effective range. The finder display processing unit displays on the finder screen information indicating the specified effective range.

Abstract: An image pickup control unit displays either one of a picked-up image by a first image pickup unit and a picked-up image by a second image pickup unit on a display unit as a finder image. A feature detecting unit calculates a distribution of brightness values or brightness dispersion for each of the picked-up images by the first and second image pickup units, thereby detecting features of the two picked-up images. A sameness determining unit determines the sameness between both picked-up images based on the detected features, and determines that an abnormality like the unexpected appearance of an obstacle is present when the feature largely differs. When it is determined that an abnormality is present, a warning processing unit simultaneously displays both picked-up images on the display unit, or displays the picked-up image including the abnormality on the display unit as a finder image.

Abstract: A moving context and a moving time of a user are specified by acceleration information while the user is moving. The moving context represents the user's moving status. The acceleration information is measured by an acceleration sensor carried with the user. The moving context and the moving time are stored in time series. The moving context and the moving time between a moving start time and an arrival time are set as a moving pattern. A tag is set to the moving context in the moving pattern. The tag identifies a function to be executed for the moving context. A moving estimation pattern is generated as the moving pattern having the moving context and the moving time specified by acceleration information measured when the user is newly moving. The function identified by the tag is executed, when the moving context set with the tag in the moving estimation pattern coincides with a moving context specified by acceleration information measured while the user is newly moving.
