Abstract: A conference support apparatus includes an acquirer, an acceptor, a determiner, and an outputter. The acquirer acquires, for each predetermined member, related information including an evaluation value representing the association between a predefined word representing the classification of a conference and the member. The acceptor accepts input of information regarding a conference to be held and a member selected from the predetermined members as a potential participant of the conference to be held. The determiner determines whether or not a member who is a potential participant is suitable as a conference participant of the conference to be held, on the basis of the related information corresponding to the potential participant and the information regarding the conference to be held. The outputter outputs the determination result of the determiner.

Abstract: A display apparatus includes an orientation detecting portion, a receiving portion and an image processing portion. The orientation detecting portion detects an orientation of an upper part or a lower part of a display screen of a display portion. The receiving portion receives an image signal transmitted from a source device and state information (information showing an orientation of an upper part or a lower part of the transmission image indicated by the image signal and presence/absence of black band parts). The image processing portion applies, to the transmission image, rotation processing such that the orientation of the upper part or the lower part of the display screen coincides with the orientation of the upper part or the lower part of the transmission image, scaling processing, and/or black-band processing for adding or removing black band parts, according to a detection result of the orientation detecting portion and the state information.

The wireless transmission system includes: a bridge device (1) which wireless-transmits an AV content; and a plurality of wireless sink devices (5, 6) which reproduce the wireless-transmitted AV content. The bridge device (1) has a group identification table which stores a group identifier for identifying a group formed by the wireless sink device (5, 6). The bridge device (1) adds a group identifier extracted from the group identification table to a control command for controlling the sink devices (5, 6) and wireless-transmits the control command having the group identifier. The wireless sink devices (5, 6) receive a control command wireless-transmitted from the bridge device (1) if a corresponding group identifier is added to the control command.

Abstract: A system (1) includes a monitor (10) and a STB (20). The STB (20) notifies the monitor (10) of a request for reconnection with the monitor (10) with the use of a new channel in a case where it is determined that overflow has occurred. The monitor (10) determines whether or not underrun has occurred in a receive buffer in which video data supplied from the STB (20) is buffered.

Abstract: When reproducing AV data transmitted from a source device by multicast wireless transmission, a sink device can check the wireless connection status of other sink device which reproduces AV data from the same source device. The sink device (2a) includes: an AV reception portion which receives AV data through multicast wireless transmission from the source device (1); a reproduction portion which extracts and reproduces AV data transmitted to the sink device (2a) from the received AV data; and a device information receiving portion that wirelessly receives a portion or whole of the sink device information managed in the source device (1). The sink device information correlates identification information for identifying a plurality of sink devices (2a, 2b, . . . ) containing the sink device (2a) with state information indicative of wireless connection status of the sink devices (2a, 2b, . . . ).
