  • Patent number: 11115825
    Abstract: According to the present invention, when receiving a connection request including an SIM-ID from a terminal 20, a connection node 16 connects the terminal to a connection destination APN which is associated with the SIM-ID. A user management server 10 and an SIM-ID management server change the connection destination APN associated with the SIM-ID according to a change in a use state of a prepaid SIM, and distributes, to the connection node 16, an association relationship between the SIM-ID and the connection destination APN. By this process, the connection destination APN of a terminal connected to a network can be automatically switched according to a change in an identifier use state of the prepaid SIM.

  • Patent number: 11010947
    Abstract: Provided is technology that enables users to feel more enjoyment than ever. Information processing apparatus recognizes an image captured by display apparatus. Information processing apparatus instructs display apparatus to composite, with the captured image, a first composite image that varies according to an image recognition result and further composite a second composite image at a predetermined position in the first composite image. For example, if landscape is captured by display apparatus, a character image representing a running person is displayed as first composite image according to the landscape. In first composite image, region corresponding to the head of the person is blank, and when a user captures their face using display apparatus, an image of the user's face is composited as second composite image in region corresponding to the head in the first composite image.

  • Patent number: 10977510
    Abstract: An information-processing device, when image recognition performed by an object recognition function and a first category recognition function on a captured image acquired from an image capture display device fails, and image recognition performed by a second category recognition function succeeds, informs a user of a method for capturing an image that enables object recognition, and causes the object recognition function to perform image recognition on another captured image that is captured in accordance with the method. If the image recognition performed by the object recognition unit on the other captured image succeeds, information-processing device instructs image capture display device to display a composite image determined according to a result of the image recognition at a position determined according to the result of the image recognition.

  • Patent number: 9946453
    Abstract: A display device calculates an operation amount of a user's input operation based on a detected indicated position. Display device displays component images on display surface based on the operation amount calculated. If display device determines that the indicated position is no longer detected, display device determines whether the calculated operation amount is smaller than or equal to a threshold. If it is determined that the calculated operation amount exceeds the threshold, display device executes an acquiring operation of a newly arrived email.
