Abstract: Functions can be flexibly changed according to various use cases. An information processing system according to an embodiment includes a sensor data acquisition unit that acquires sensing data acquired by a sensor, a processing unit including an inference unit that executes inference using the sensing data as an input, and a switching unit that switches the inference unit according to a use case.

Abstract: A data transmission device includes a transmission processing unit that transmits sensing data of a detection target in response to occurrence of an event that satisfies a condition specified as an event related to the detection target, in which the sensing data is data including type information indicating a type of sensing data, in a case where whether or not the type of sensing data is a specific type is determined, and as a result, the type of sensing data is an unspecific type, the transmission processing unit performs processing of storing unspecific type information indicating that the type of sensing data is an unspecific type in the type information, and generating and transmitting the sensing data including text data in which detection result information indicating a detection result of the detection target by text and type information indicating a data type of the detection result information are stored.

Abstract: Provided is a data distribution system 1 including one or more sensor devices 10 to acquire sensing data and a server 20 to accept a distribution request from one or more requestors requesting distribution of predetermined data capable of being generated from the sensing data.

Abstract: A network of nodes is organized into a data pipeline for one or more applications that require image understanding. The nodes are configurable to form different data pipelines, depending on the application. The process of configuring a data pipeline from the nodes may be standardized. In one implementation, the nodes have various capabilities, which may include sensor functions (e.g., image capture) and image understanding functions (e.g., object detection and recognition). Based on descriptions of the capabilities of the nodes, various nodes are selected for inclusion in the data pipeline and the interconnections between the selected nodes to form the data pipeline are also determined. Control data is transmitted to the selected nodes to form the data pipeline. The control data specifies the sensor and/or image understanding functions for the selected nodes according to each node's role in the data pipeline and also specifies the interconnections between the selected nodes.

Abstract: An image processing device includes: a detecting section configured to detect a plurality of objects by type from one input image; a generating section configured to generate image data on each of the objects detected by the detecting section as images of respective different picture frames by types of the objects; and a processing section configured to subject the images of the different picture frames, the images of the different picture frames being generated by the generating section, to processing according to one of a setting and a request.

Abstract: In starting a session, a block ID is assigned to the respective blocks in which session is divided into tasks in every function, and a task lookup table which is a quick reference table for the block ID and a task ID is formed. In performing a message communication, a transmitter task assigns a destination in the block ID and obtains the task ID with reference to the task lookup table. And then, the task ID of the destination is assigned and a transmission and reception of the message is performed by applying a message communication function in OS.

Abstract: When the head of a data pack that can be a start point of consecutive recording is included in an ECC (error correcting code) bank, data indicating this is set in an ECCTB (error correctly code two-B picture). When the head of a data pack that can be a start point of consecutive recording is not included in the ECC bank, data indicating this is set in the ECCTB. Thus, when performing consecutive recording, a recording apparatus refers to contents of the ECCTBs to detect a consecutive recording start, thereby allowing selection of the point closest to a point where a user desires to start consecutive recording, and the user starts the consecutive recording at the detected point.

Abstract: In an STC generating step, STCs (STC_d) delayed a time “System_delay” from STC (STC_medium) in compressed picture data read from a recording medium in the normal-speed reproduction mode is sequentially generated. In this STC generating step, there is set at shift from a variable-speed reproduction to normal-speed reproduction an STC initial value on the basis of results of comparison between PTS (PTS_s) in display picture data at the time of reproduction mode shift and {STC_medium at the shift?(delay due to the shift (shift_delay)+System_delay)}. Thus, when shifting the reproduction mode from a variable-speed one to normal-sped one in compliance with the MPEG standard, pictures can smoothly be displayed in the normal-speed reproduction mode without skipping over any displayed pictures.

Abstract: When a head of a pack that can be a start point of consecutive recording is included in an ECC bank, data indicating this is set in an ECCTB (H in FIG. 2). When a head of a pack that can be a start point of consecutive recording is not included in the ECC bank, data indicating this is set in the ECCTB. Thus, when performing consecutive recording, a recording apparatus refers to contents of ECCTBs to detect a consecutive recording start allowing point closest to a point where a user desires to start consecutive recording, and starts the consecutive recording at the detected point.

In this STC generating step, there is set at shift from a variable-speed reproduction to normal-speed reproduction an STC initial value on the basis of results of comparison between PTS (PTS_s) in display picture data at the time of reproduction mode shift and {STC_medium at the shift−(delay due to the shift (shift_delay)+System_delay)}. Thus, when shifting the reproduction mode from a variable-speed one to normal-sped one in compliance with the MPEG standard, pictures can smoothly be displayed in the normal-speed reproduction mode without skipping over any displayed pictures.
