Information processing apparatus and method, information processing system, and providing medium

摘要

The invention enables users to virtually attach information to situations in the real world, and also enables users to quickly and easily find out desired information. An IR sensor receives an IR signal transmitted from an IR beacon, and supplies the received signal to a sub-notebook PC. A CCD video camera takes in a visual ID from an object, and supplies the inputted visual ID to the sub-notebook PC. A user inputs, through a microphone, a voice to be attached to situations in the real world. The sub-notebook PC transmits position data, object data and voice data, which have been supplied to it, to a server through a communication unit. The transmitted data is received by the server via a wireless LAN. The server stores the received voice data in a database in correspondence to the position data and the object data.

主权项

1. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions which, when executed, cause at least one processor in an information processing system to:
receive, from a first information processing apparatus, first attachment information corresponding to a first position of a map on the internet, the first information processing apparatus having an internet interface operated by a user that inputs the first attachment information into the internet interface; transmit the first attachment information to a second information processing apparatus configured to display at least a portion of the map on the internet including the first position and the first attachment information, wherein the first attachment information is provided at the first position on at least the portion of the map on the internet including the first position for exchange between at least two different user devices; and receive information indicative of a second position different from the first position and corresponding to a drag and drop operation of an icon existing on the map on the internet, the icon including the first attachment information, the drag and drop operation performed on at least the portion of the map on the internet including the first position, and the icon being dragged from the first position on the map on the internet and dropped on the map on the internet at the second position to relocate the icon from the first position to a new location on the map on the internet at the second position, wherein the first attachment information is displayed on at least the portion of the map on the internet including the first position in response to a search field entry received via an input device.
