Abstract: An information processing system includes a memory portion that stores each scene of image information of a given space captured by an image capturing portion in association with positional information on an object existent in the given space, a receiving portion that receives information that specifies the object as a search request, and a search portion that searches the image information stored in the memory portion for a scene where the object is existent in a given position on the basis of the search request.

Abstract: A commodity-information provision evaluation method for visualizing information contributing to evaluating of commodity information provided by a commodity provider, includes performing, according to an operator's selection operation, process display processing that includes superimposing and displaying at least two of intention information, expectation information and practical information on a screen in a matrix format, to visualize a gap between the commodity information provision media, or image display processing that includes superimposing at least two of target image information, design image information and user image information on an image map screen in which information regarding image is allocated to each of regions into which a display screen is divided so that the at least two are displayed in regions to which the at least two are allocated.

Abstract: An information processing system includes a recognition portion that recognizes a document shown in a given space, a detection portion that detects an event occurring in the given space, and an index-giving portion that gives information on the event detected by the detection portion to the information on the document recognized by the recognition portion, as an index for search.

Abstract: A medium evaluation method for evaluating a commodity information provision medium that commodity consumers expect to use as an acquisition unit of commodity information provided by a commodity provider at each step of a purchase process wherein: expectation information is associated with kinds of commodity information provision media that commodity consumers expect to use at each step of the purchase process, and access information is used to access the consumers from whom the expectation information is acquired, the method includes: in response to specifying a certain commodity information provision medium at a certain step of the purchase process in the expectation information, specifying access information of a consumer who expects to use the specified commodity information provision medium at the specified step of the purchase process from the access information.

Abstract: An information retrieval system includes an information extracting portion that extracts episodic information to be set as a cue for searching conference record information that stores contents on a conference for personal information, and an information storage portion that stores the episodic information extracted from the information extracting portion and the personal information associated with the episodic information. The personal information of a participant is searched for, personal information being obtained from the conference that a system user attended.

Abstract: An information processing system includes a memory portion that stores image information of a space in association with a document, the image information being captured by an image capturing portion, the document being used while the space being captured, a receiving portion that receives information that specifies the document as a search request, and a search portion that searches the image information stored on the memory portion for a scene associated with the document specified by the search request, on the basis of the search request.

Abstract: A questionnaire apparatus includes: a question storage unit that holds plural questions; a selection condition reception unit that receives a selection condition for selecting a question; and a question selection unit that selects a next question from among the questions stored in the question storage unit, based on a question, an answer to the question and a selection condition received by the selection condition reception unit.

Abstract: A commodity-information provision evaluation method for visualizing information contributing to evaluating of commodity information provided by a commodity provider, includes: performing process display processing that includes superimposing and displaying, for each consumer cluster, at least two of intention information, expectation information and practical information on a screen in a matrix format of kinds of commodity information provision media and respective steps of a purchase process, to visualize a gap between the commodity information provision media, or image display processing that includes superimposing at least two of target image information, design image information and user image information on an image map screen in which information regarding image is allocated to each of regions into which a display screen is divided so that the at least two are displayed for each cluster in regions to which the at least two are allocated.
