PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To achieve natural cooperation working conducted via a computer network among a plurality of users, without making them aware of the effects due to data delay. SOLUTION: On the display screen of a computer system 10, images corresponding to each user are summarized and displayed, and a dialog area (reduced display window 120) is displayed, in which character data transmitted/received between respective users are displayed in a position corresponding to the image. In addition, a working area (file exchange area S160) is displayed in which each user conducts desired work using a character corresponding to the user. Transfer delays of transmission data occurred by the work are resolved by the animated display of the character. COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize communications between the users of information processors connected to a computer network capable of making natural interaction with expression high power. SOLUTION: An image corresponding to a user is arranged at a prescribed position in a window by using a communication program for transmitting and receiving various information on a plurality of computer devices 10 connected through the Internet 11. Also, at the time of receiving character data, an image corresponding to the user being the transmission origin of the character data is reducedly displayed, and a text display region S116 is displayed at a position in the neighborhood of the reducedly displayed image, and the received character data are displayed in the text display region S116.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an effect attaching device, an effect attaching method, and an effect attaching program that are suitable for distributing a video image with a plurality of effects attached thereto to a plurality of users in real time. SOLUTION: In the effect attaching device and method of this invention a plurality of effect sources such as a picture effect source, a bit map effect source, and a telop effect source are combined to configure an image effect to be composed as an input image and can store the image effect as part of a program template. Thus, even in distributing a video image using a plurality of effects, the distribution well catching timings on the video image can be realized and since the image effect once created can be stored in the form of templates, no duplicate settings are required when the image effect is used again later.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a guide easy to understand various operation procedures and contents regardless of the level of a user. SOLUTION: In personal broadcasting system, a user terminal sequentially numbers a plurality of functions according to a standard procedure for a series of operation performed by a plurality of prepared functions to express by buttons, and displays a guidance bar 152 where the plurality of buttons are grouped on a display part 55.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enjoy music by combining a plurality of sound materials and interactively editing and reproducing music in accordance with the user's inputs through a keyboard and a mouse. SOLUTION: Chips consist of sound pieces such as sound patterns and one shot and effects applicable to these sound pieces are assigned to each of the keys of a keyboard. When the user presses down the keys, the chips corresponding to the pressed down keys are executed. By simultaneously pressing down a plurality of the keys, the corresponding chips are combined and outputted. Moreover, by successively pressing down the keys, the chips are time sequentially combined to constitute a music.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve user's operability by allowing the user to easily recognize that a menu has hierarchical structure. SOLUTION: Menus of a jog dial window 300 are displayed on a liquid crystal display(LCD) and a hierarchical icon 305 indicating hierarchical structure is displayed together with each menu item having the hierarchal structure out of the displayed menus, so that a user can easily recognize whether the menu item concerned has the hierarchical structure or not when the menu item is displayed.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a menu display device, a menu display method and a program which set the specification of a menu on an application side. SOLUTION: The menu display device 100 for displaying the menus of a plurality of applications includes: an acquisition part 103 for acquiring the display data of content information C representing content being the object of menu display among content managed by each application from each application; and a display control part 113 for controlling the display of the content information in each area according to the setting conditions of an area A arranged by application on the menu and the display data of the content information obtained from each application. Thus, the display of the content information being the object of menu display in each area is controlled according to the setting conditions of the area arranged for each application on the menu and to the display data of the content information obtained from each application.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To arrange efficiently a great number of images generated by a single event so as to output image groups easy to see according to a purpose and a user. SOLUTION: When the image management device is used to arrange a plurality of images, images displayed on a screen in an editing mode are classified for display and grouped on the basis of an instruction from an inputting part, and images C and E desired by a user are extracted as representative images of the group out of images C, D and E included in a group 21. A folding button 22 for displaying the representative images C and E of the group 21 is displayed on the screen; when the folding button 22 displayed on the screen is operated, an image list screen 20 for displaying the representative images C and E of the group 21 and non-grouped images D and F is generated; and the image list screen 20 is outputted to the outside.
