An audio spatial environment engine for flexible and scalable up-mixing from an M channel audio system to an N channel audio system, where M and N are integers and N is greater than M, is provided. The input M channel audio is provided to an analysis filter bank which converts the time domain signals into frequency domain signals. Relevant inter-channel spatial cues are extracted from the frequency domain signals on a sub-band basis and are used as parameters to generate adaptive N channel filters which control the spatial placement of a frequency band element in the up-mixed sound field. The N channel filters are smoothed across both time and frequency to limit filter variability which could cause annoying fluctuation effects. The smoothed N channel filters are then applied to adaptive combinations of the frequency domain input signals and are provided to a synthesis filter bank which generates the N channel time domain output signals.

A system, method, and computer program product are described for dynamically assessing and improving driver performance, including that of an autonomous driving system. Based on received electronic driver performance messages, the system determines whether an instant feedback message is required to dynamically adjust driving behavior of a subject driver or autonomous driving system. If yes, then the system provides an instant feedback message, otherwise the system provides an aggregate feedback message, calibration message, and / or coaching recommendation as appropriate. An aggregate feedback message may be provided based at least on integral rating and / or driver performance score calculated and based at least on the driver performance messages received over a predetermined time period. The system may be adapted to perform one or more of the following: calculate insurance premium, insurance coverage, calculate cost of hiring a vehicle, monitor driving quality of drivers, recruit drivers, provide incentives, provide coaching, provide driver performance reports, and inform a third party about the driving performance of a subject driver.

The present invention provides an image processing system which can make switch-over between a copy-permitted state and a copy-prohibited state automatically according to the type of production while securely protecting the production. For the purpose, the system causes a detecting portion to detect the presence of predetermined information (i.e., production information) in image data, when that image data is sent from a user side terminal to be output from an output device. If the results of this detection indicate its presence, the system prohibits outputting of that image data from the output device. With this, the system releases an output-prohibited state of the above-mentioned image data based on the results of comparison between a password sent from the user side terminal and a password present in that image data.

An inexpensive and simple circuit for improving the quality of a dynamic image, with appropriate, flexible dynamic image qualities processing, even with plural input signal sources. A memory unit has a region for storing images of at least one screen, and a memory control unit for writing image data to the memory unit on the basis of a first clock and a first image synchronizing signal and for outputting image data read out from the memory unit on the basis of a second clock and a second image synchronizing signal. A clock generating unit provides the second clock, and a synchronizing control unit inputs the second clock and outputs the second image synchronizing signal. The synchronizing control unit generates one signal asynchronous to the first image synchronizing signal, by dividing the second clock, and another that is and synchronized with the first synchronizing signal, by using the second clock, and selects one of the signals it has produced to be output as the second image synchronizing signal. In a case of multiple input signals, then such fourth image synchronizing signals equal in number to the input signals are produced.

Provided is an onboard electronic control unit. A CPU regularly performs a memory check and, if a determination has been made that there is an error in the memory content, writes the number of times an error has been determined to an error count storage unit, and resets itself. Immediately after the CPU has been reset and before the first memory check is performed, an error determination unit determines whether or not the error count stored in the error count storage unit is at least an error determination threshold. If the error count is at least the error determination threshold, an error response unit causes the CPU to execute a specific error response program, out of the programs in the memory.

It is possible to provide an information processing apparatus capable of appropriately processing a job for case binding without depending on the sequence of page data constituting the job, a method for controlling the apparatus and a program. To accomplish this, a job for case binding is inputted, and the inputted job is stored in storage means of the image processing apparatus. A bookbinding cover attribute is set for page data to be a cover, in the job stored in the storage means. The order of output of page data in the job is determined based on the set attribute. The page data in the job stored in the storage means are read and outputted to a printer unit in accordance with the determined output order.

Systems and methods in accordance with the present invention allow for messages to be delivered from one application to another over a network in discrete groupings or communication sessions. For example, a sending computer system sends a group of related messages to a queue at a recipient computer system. The recipient computer system identifies that the messages of the group are related, and initiates a session-oriented communication channel. The recipient computer passes the group of messages to an appropriate application, and opens a different, new session-oriented communication channel for a new group of messages that are not necessarily related to the first group of messages. In one implementation, an order identifier in each of the received messages instructs the recipient computer system on what order, if any, the messages in a group are to be processed by the specific application.

An encoder which encodes image information includes memory and circuitry accessible to the memory. The circuitry binarizes a data value indicating the number of non-zero coefficients included in a current basic block which is one of basic blocks in a frequency transform block composed of a plurality of frequency transform coefficients, according to a conversion table in which data values and binary values are associated with each other, to encode the image information which includes the data value. When binarizing the data value, the circuitry (160) selects the conversion table from tables including a first table which includes association with a data value indicating 0 as the number of non-zero coefficients and a second table which does not include association with a data value indicating 0 as the number of non-zero coefficients, and binarizes the data value according to the conversion table selected.

There are provided a method and others capable of appropriately protecting literary works without requiring any operation by a web site administrator or a user. A web server transmits a content, copyright information on the content, and execution information for introducing the content to a creation device. The creation device receives the transmitted content, copyright information, and execution information. When the content is introduced in association with the transmitted execution information, the creation device extracts the copyright information on the transmitted content and transmits the address of the content and the extracted copyright information to a creation program for creating a web page.

An image forming apparatus stores permission information that identifies a network for which printing is permitted, and receives a print job from a terminal device via a network. If network information indicating a network to which the terminal device belongs is not included in the permission information, the image forming apparatus accepts an instruction as to whether or not to perform printing based on the print job. Upon accepting an instruction for printing the print job, the image forming apparatus stores the network information as the permission information and prints the print job. Upon accepting an instruction for prohibiting the printing of the print job, the image forming apparatus cancels the print job.
