  • Patent number: 11934881
    Abstract: Allowing an execution of an allocation processing and allocation release the processing of a device to a service program during an execution of the service program. Under control of an execution management section (1112), in case device transmission data received is device transmission data satisfying a predetermined transition condition of a state transition, a service state of the service program is updated. Then, under control of an execution management section (1112), a notification of the service state update is transmitted to a service context determination section (113). Under control of the service context determination section (113), whether there is a change in a service context to be executed on the service program based on service context information is confirmed.

  • Publication number: 20230168498
    Abstract: A positioning assistance device that assists positioning between a content displayed on a display and an object transparently observed through the display is as follows. The positioning assistance device includes: a state calculation unit configured to calculate a supported state of the display relative to the object; an adjustment amount calculation unit configured to calculate, for the supported state, an adjustment amount related to a positioning operation for setting an appropriate positional relation between the content and the object; and a presentation information generation unit configured to generate and output presentation information including the adjustment amount. The adjustment amount calculation unit calculates the adjustment amount by using record data of a positioning operation performed by a user of the display in response to the presentation information output in advance.
