ABSTRACT: Movies edited by amateurs are likely to be a sequence of monotonous scenes, where people record video from a single direction, and use video from a single camcorder when editing video. We developed VideoBlocks, a Web-based video editing system. In our system, video clips are collected from multi-users' camcorders via the Internet and shared among the users. The system allows users to easily use other users' video clips, each of which is spontaneously videotaped using different digital video camcorders. VideoBlocks provides the capability to extract the date and time information of the video-recording from the digital video cameras, and automatically synchronize them. Through evaluations of the system, we determined the effectiveness of the system.

ABSTRACT: Web technology has not been considered to be suitable for the basis of real-time system due to the lack of real-time communication capabilities. HTTP, for example, does not have a Junction that pushes out data from a Web server to Web browsers. We developed a QuickBoard Web-server system that allows users to deliver computer-screen images of any application to more than 100 Web browsers in real-time. We also developed ICMHP, a method integrating interframe compression mechanism with Web-server-side technology, from the viewpoint of reducing network traffic on web-based real-time presentation system.

ABSTRACT: We propose a method to detect the model, location and activity of a conventional home electric appliance. Waveforms of current consumed by appliances vary according to their configurations and activity. We define feature parameters for detecting the status of appliances. A current detector, microcomputer and transmitter are equipped in a power outlet in order to measure consumed current, calculate the feature parameters, and transmit the results to a home server. Feature parameters of appliances in the home are learned and stored in a home server in advance. The home server compares the feature parameters of known appliances with the received feature parameters to detect an appliance's model and activity. User could control appliances from out of the house via the Internet.
