  • Publication number: 20160188160
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a 3D(three dimensional)-matrix arranging portion and a luminance/transmittance display controller portion. When a plurality of contents are list-displayed, the 3D-matrix arranging portion arranges the plurality of contents in a 3D-matrix-like form (“3D-matrix,” hereinbelow) in accordance with predetermined three axes. The 3D matrix includes a plurality of planes each containing a group of contents of the plurality of contents. The luminance/transmittance display controller portion displays on a display portion the respective groups of contents of the plurality of contents arranged in the 3D matrix, in a manner that luminance is gradually reduced in a direction from contents on a front-most plane of the plurality of planes to contents on a rear-most plane, and transmittance is gradually increased in the direction from the contents on the front-most plane to the contents on the rear-most plane.

  • Patent number: 9298820
    Abstract: A terminal device includes circuitry configured to acquire designated image data stored in a memory. The circuitry may sort the designated image data based on a time at which the designated image data was captured. The circuitry may divide the sorted image data into a plurality of time slots and calculate, based on features of the designated image data corresponding to each time slot of the plurality of time slots, a time slot score for each of the plurality of time slots. The circuitry may allocate, based on the time slot score, a portion of a digest video to each of the plurality of time slots. The circuitry may generate, for each time slot, a local digest video by assigning an amount of the designated image data to the local digest video corresponding to the time slot, and generate the digest video by connecting the generated local digest videos.

  • Patent number: 9037987
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a user evaluation value table and a display controller portion. In the user evaluation value table, user evaluation values each corresponding to the number of processes of the respective content are stored on a basis of the respective content. When performing display changing of a respective content intended for display on a display portion, the controller portion detects from the user evaluation value table a user evaluation value of a content intended to be graphically displayed on the display portion. Then, the controller portion performs change control to change a display time period for the content intended to be graphically displayed on the display portion in accordance with the detected user evaluation value.
