Abstract: A processing apparatus includes an acquisition unit that acquires a first image on the basis of first image information; a computation unit that computes a difference between the first image and a second image in accordance with classification of an object on the basis of the first image acquired by the acquisition unit and the second image obtained by hiding the first image on the basis of the first image information acquired by the acquisition unit by a mask that is smaller than a size of the first image; and a generator that, on the basis of a difference in accordance with the classification computed by the computation unit, generates a third image indicating a location where the difference occurs.

Abstract: There is provided a technique for reducing a burden on a patient during an examination and presenting an objective examination result. An ophthalmological diagnosis device (102) for providing information to assist in making a diagnosis on a cornea includes: an input unit that receives an input of video image data from an external device (101); an output unit that outputs image data; a storage unit that stores an evaluation criterion for an injury of the cornea; and a processing unit that processes data.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a communication system and method, an information processing terminal and method, and an information processing device and method which enable simple and secure restricted access. When a PDA 11 is brought close, a reader 2 of a personal computer 1 reads a device ID form an IC tag 12. The personal computer 1 registers device IDs on a connection permission list, and permits only devices registered on the list to connect. When being instructed to perform accessing, the PDA 11 controls a communication unit to access the personal computer 1 and to transmits its device ID. The personal computer 1 determines whether or not the transmitted ID is registered on the connection permission list, and permits the connection when determining that the ID is registered. The present invention can be applied to various information processing devices such as a personal computer and a PDA.

Abstract: The present invention is an information processing apparatus which obtains identification information of an electronic device and makes communication with the electronic device via a network based on the identification information. When a portable telephone (11) is placed on an input display section (2) of a personal computer (1), a reader/writer built in the personal computer (1) reads a telephone number of the portable telephone (11) stored in an RF tag built in the portable telephone (11). Based on the telephone number, a telephone line is connected between the portable telephone (11) and the personal computer (1). Data is interchanged between the portable telephone (11) and the personal computer (1) via the telephone line.

Abstract: A verification device includes an acquisition unit that acquires image data which is an object to be verified, a classification unit that includes a plurality of classifiers caused to learn the image data acquired by the acquisition unit, using a plurality of different pieces of learning data, with respect to a target event to obtain values indicating a possibility corresponding to the event, and a specification unit that specifies a state of the object to be verified which is the image acquired by the acquisition unit from the values obtained by the plurality of classifiers.

Abstract: The present invention relates to electronic units, communication systems and methods, information processing terminals and methods, and information processing apparatuses and methods which allow easy and quick communications. When a link pin 21A is inserted into a VCR 3, the VCR 3 reads the pin ID stored in the RF tag of the link pin 21A, and reports the pin ID and the address to a management server 1. When the management server 1 has already obtained the pin ID of a link pin 21B read by a television receiver 5, the management server 1 determines whether the group ID included in the pin ID reported by the VCR 3 is the same as the group ID included in the pin ID reported by the television receiver 5. When the management server 1 determines that they are the same, the management server 1 connects the VCR 3 to the television receiver 5. The present invention can be applied to various types of information processing apparatuses connected to a network.

Abstract: A portable information terminal is placed in proximity with an ID recognition unit of a notebook PC. By reading ID from the portable information terminal, the notebook PC is able to identify a network address of the portable information terminal so as to establish a network connection with the portable information terminal. The notebook PC then sends suitable operation information to the portable information terminal via a network. For example, if presentation is running on the notebook PC, screen information for operating the presentation is transferred to the portable information terminal. Accordingly, by using one device connected to the other device by a wired or wireless network, the operation of the other device can be controlled.

Abstract: In general, those who are right in front of each other can share actual world events that are generated in the same working space. For example, when an audio or a light of a wave form pattern is generated, by recognizing such an actual world event, both communication apparatuses share the actual world event. Also, a shock wave generated when one communication apparatus is hit with the other is shared by both. One of the communication partners searches a network for a communication partner who is right in front with the actual world event as a clue. Thus, it is possible to perform data communications with a communication partner whose location in the actual world is clear, such as being right in front, but whose identification information in the communication medium is unknown.
