  • Patent number: 10282408
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a storage section and a control section. The storage section stores a plurality of templates having different predetermined designs with template attribute information, the plurality of templates each being applied to a display of a content including at least one of a document and an image with the content being laid out on the template. The control section performs a matching processing of component information, as a search key, of the content with the template attribute information, and selects, as a template corresponding to the content to be applied to the display of the content, a template whose template attribute information has a higher match rate than others.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9600225
    Abstract: Data broadcast data, which is broadcast in data broadcasts, is constructed by disposing, for example, EMD (Electric Music Distribution) links required to acquire song data as actual broadcast data, which is broadcast in actual broadcasts by a transmitting device, the actual broadcast data is transmitted, and the data broadcast data wherein the EMD links for the song data in the actual broadcasts are disposed, is transmitted periodically during the transmission of the actual broadcast data. The actual broadcast data and the data broadcast data are received by a user terminal, and the EMD links disposed in the data broadcast data are stored whenever there is an input of an operation to attach a “bookmark”. Thus, audio data such as songs in programs broadcast can easily be acquired by radio.

  • Publication number: 20100192081
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus including a display section to display a data, an input section to input user input information, a communication section to communicate with a server, and a control section. The control section controls a display of a received message on the display section in accordance with the input information input through the input section. The control section displays, on the display section, a post card in which information included in the received message is laid out on a template selected in advance by the server, and enables a user to judge whether the post card corresponds to a read message or an unread message by displaying the post card corresponding to the read message in different display forms from the post card corresponding to the unread message.
