Abstract: According to one embodiment, a method includes: receiving first information and second information by an electronic device, the first information relating to first scenes in a first program and comprising information of one or more goods or services introduced in at least one of the first scenes, the second information relating to second scenes in a second program and comprising information of one or more goods or services introduced in at least one of the second scenes; receiving a first operation to specify a first good or a first service; and displaying information relating to one or more third scenes searched from the first scenes and the second scenes on a display in response to the first operation, the one or more third scenes introducing the specified first good or first service.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a method by an electronic device includes: receiving audio data including a voice of a user; performing voice recognition to translate the audio data to text including a first character string corresponding to the voice; determining whether the first character string is registered in conversion information; displaying, when the first character string is registered in the conversion information, a second character string associated with the first character string in the conversion information; receiving, when an instruction is received from the user and when the first character string is not registered in the conversion information, a third character string obtained by editing the first character string; and registering, when the third character string is found in program information, the third character string in the conversion information so as to associate the third character string with the first character string.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a method includes: accessing program information identifying a broadcast start time and a broadcast time period of each of a plurality of broadcast programs; displaying a first bar of a first length and a first mark on a display based on the program information, the first length corresponding to a first broadcast time period of a first broadcast program; displaying a second bar of a second length and a second mark on the display based on the program information, the second length corresponding to a second broadcast time period of a second broadcast program; and displaying, when the first broadcast time period and the second broadcast time period are different from each other, the first bar and the second bar on the display such that the first length and the second length are different from each other.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a method includes: receiving a sentence corresponding to a voice of a user for operating an electronic device, the sentence including a first character string and one or more second character strings, the first character string corresponding to a reserved word used in searching information by the electronic device; displaying the first character string in a first format and the one or more second character strings in a second format different from the first format, the first character string correctable by a user operation, the user operation to be input by using a display area of the first character string; generating a search command including the first character string; and transmitting the search command to the electronic device.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an information processing apparatus includes: a detector configured to set a detection area curved in an arc shape to a frame image included in a video that is based on input video data, with reference to a position of a face image included in the video to detect a movement of an operator giving an operation instruction in the detection area; and an output module configured to output operation data indicating the operation instruction given by the movement detected by the detector.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an information processing apparatus includes: a detector configured to set a plurality of detection areas to a single piece of face image included in a video image that is based on input video data, with reference to a position of the face image to detect movements of an operator giving an operation instruction in the detection areas; and an output module configured to output operation data indicating the operation instruction based on a combination of the movements detected in the detection areas.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a terminal apparatus includes an input unit configured to input a character, a remote-control code transmission unit configured to transmit a remote-control code to an electronic apparatus, and a remote-control code conversion unit configured to convert a multi-byte character code, which is composed of a plurality of numerical values and corresponds to the character that is input by the input unit, to a plurality of remote-control codes corresponding to the plurality of numerical values, and to successively output the plurality of remote-control codes to the remote-control code transmission unit, in order to transmit the multi-byte character code corresponding to the character input by the input unit to the electronic apparatus via the remote-control code transmission unit.

Abstract: A recording title is separated into arbitrary chapters, the chapters are associated with blocks and located in an association area, desired blocks are relocated in a coupling and editing area, the chapters associated with the relocated blocks are edited as a new title in accordance with the location of the blocks.

Abstract: There is disclosed a microprocessor of a multithread system which comprises a register file constituted of a number of registers. The microprocessor creates instruction code offset data for allocating general-purpose registers in accordance with the number of registers used for each thread which is an execution unit module of a program.
