Abstract: An information terminal device (100) includes a message display section (304) which (i) displays a plurality of display regions on a display screen so that the plurality of display regions are arranged along a vertical direction of the display screen, the plurality of display regions each being for a time series, and (ii) displays, in each of the plurality of display regions, a posted message of a time series corresponding to the each of the plurality of display regions; and display change section (308) which, in a case where a horizontal moving operation is carried out with respect to a given one of the plurality of display regions, sequentially changes a posted message to be displayed in the given one of the plurality of display regions.

Abstract: [Object] An object is to provide a motion picture reproducing apparatus allowing a user to easily select a desired motion picture from a large number of motion pictures. [Solution] A terminal 300 having a motion picture reproducing function is for reproducing a motion picture distributed on demand, and it includes: a display device on which the motion picture is displayed; a motion picture reproducing unit 303, a still image drawing unit 310, a graphic output unit 308 and a video output unit 305, for displaying meta information related to the distributed motion picture on the display device superposed on the motion picture that is being reproduced; an input receiving unit 309 receiving an input operation by a user; and a screen transition control unit 306 and display description reproducing unit 307, for switching display of the meta information related to the distributed motion picture, in accordance with the user input.

Abstract: A data access system includes a client device (10) connected over a network (5) and being used by a user for registering or displaying data such as a schedule or a memo, and a data server device (1) connected over the network (5) for managing the data currently stored in the client device (10). The client device (10) includes a communication portion (11) for establishing communication with the data server device (1), a client data storing portion (12) storing a part or a whole of server data stored in the data server device (1), an output portion (13) formed of a display device providing character information and movie information to the user and a speaker for outputting a sound or a voice, and a control portion (15) controlling various portions.

Abstract: A data server includes a client data management unit for managing data stored in each client apparatus, a server data storage unit for storing the data in each client apparatus, a distribution data storage unit for storing distribution data sent from an information provider, a related data extraction unit for extracting the distribution data related to the data stored in the server data storage unit, and a communication unit connected to a network for performing communications with each client apparatus and the information provider. Information useful for a user is extracted on the data server side so that increase in traffic is prevented, and a load on the client apparatus is reduced.
