Abstract: To enable a user to know a smell or taste (of an object) that matches a specified description, when a card is placed on a sensing surface of a sensor, the description specifying unit specifies which card (or which description) is located at which position on the sensing surface. A first display control unit that controls a projector to display a related description group, which is a description group related to the description shown on the card. A priority specifying unit specifies a priority for each of the displayed related descriptions. A second display control unit displays a relationship between at least one related description included in the displayed related description group and an object that stimulates a sense of smell or taste described by the related description. On displaying the relation image, the relationship being displayed by an appearance in accordance with a specified priority.

Abstract: The relationship between the smell or taste of an object and the expression of the smell or taste can be grasped, and the user can grasp what smell or taste they prefer. In the single-sample display mode, a system displays a group of expressions relating to the olfactory sense stimulated by a sample, and if any expression is selected by the user, the system displays a relationship image indicating the relationship between the selected expression and other samples corresponding to the olfactory sense associated with the expression. In addition, in the multiple-sample display mode, the system displays, for each of plural samples, a group of expressions relating to the sense of smell stimulated by each sample, and displays an expression common to plural samples among the group of expressions.

Abstract: The relationship between the smell or taste of an object and the expression of the smell or taste can be grasped, and the user can grasp what smell or taste they prefer. In the single-sample display mode, display control means displays a group of expressions relating to the olfactory sense stimulated by sample identified by sample identifying means, and if any expression is selected by the user, displays a relationship image indicating the relationship between the selected expression and other samples corresponding to the olfactory sense associated with the expression. In addition, in the multiple-sample display mode, display control means displays, for each of plural samples specific by sample identifying means, a group of expressions relating to the sense of smell stimulated by each sample, and displays the expression common to plural samples among the group of expressions to be distinguishable from the expression common to plural samples.

Abstract: The discovery of a new expression likely to be supported as a smell or taste expression by many users. An acquisition unit acquires appearance history of expressions used by a plurality of users from SNS server device via network. An extraction unit extracts, for each user attribute, appearing expression, appearance frequency of which exceeds threshold value on basis of appearance history acquired by the acquisition unit. The extracted appearing expression is referred to as a frequently appearing expression. A presentation unit presents the frequently appearing expression extracted by the extraction unit as an expression candidate meaning a smell to a user who uses an input device. A registration unit registers the smell and the expression in association with each other when the frequency of selection, by the user who uses the input device, of the expression presented to the user as an expression meaning the smell satisfies a determined condition.

Abstract: A via visual representation a relationship between a smell or a taste of an object and a verbal description of the smell or taste, a display control unit controls a projector to display, in a display area including to a position of a sample, specified by the position specifying unit, one or more descriptions relating to the sense of smell or taste stimulated by the sample. Here, display control unit displays the descriptions by an appearance corresponding to the sample specified by the sample specifying unit.

A first display control unit that controls a projector to display a related description group, which is a description group related to the description shown on the card. A priority specifying unit specifies a priority for each of the displayed related descriptions.

On displaying the relation image, the relationship being displayed by an appearance in accordance with a specified priority.

Abstract: A detection apparatus includes a detection unit configured to detect a peripheral environment of a vehicle and a bracket configured to attach the detection unit to a vehicle body. The detection unit includes a front surface portion, a back surface portion, and side surface portions. The bracket includes a bottom wall portion and a first guiding portion configured to guide the attachment of the detection unit to the bracket. When the detection unit is attached to the bracket by diagonally inserting one end of the detection unit towards the bottom wall portion and pivoting the detection unit about a side of the one end as a rotation center, the first guiding portion restricts a position of the one end.
