Music scores notation support system
Rejthar, Edvard ; Vojíř, Stanislav (advisor) ; Smutný, Zdeněk (referee)
Musicians need to notate their melody into music scores. If they use paper (which is highly comfortable), they lose the digitalizing advantages -- easy sharing and computer playback. On the other side, computer user interface has not been adjusted for music notation and the control of music editors is not trivial. So musicians tend to notate the music in plain text. The innumerable count of internet songbook can serve us as an example where the music is in a minimalistic way indicated by chord marks, positioned above the lyrics. Nevertheless, this plain text can not by easily played. Our work concerns program Mordent that tends to serve as a connecting link between plain text and music score. It is an application for musicians; it is written in object-oriented PHP and uses typesetting processor Lilypond to create PDF, PNG, and MIDI files from user input. First version of the application was limited and not much user-friendly. The user testing brought some new improving suggestions. This work documents the course of the testing and significant changes that extended the application: new editor behaviour, mobile-devices compatible redesign, and eventually the set of games, suitable for practising of musical hearing ability and music theory.

Kopřiva, Milan ; Pavlíček, Antonín (advisor) ; Smutný, Zdeněk (referee)
Bachelor thesis deals with the features of security tools for masking identity in terms of utility to circumvent the regional limitations of providers of an audiovisual service on demand. Thesis is divided into three general parts. In the first part the thesis is dealing with the basic theoretical features of the AV works such as resolution, colour depth, frame rate, compression and codec. An explanation of these attributes is crucial for the understanding of the remaining chapters of this thesis. In the second part of the thesis deals with the providers of AV media service on demand operating outside of the Czech Republic, which are therefore unavailable for domestic users. In this part the thesis is virtually trying to see the problems with the use of these services, particularly in terms of registration to the service and use of the tools to circumvent the regional limitations. The final, third part of this thesis presents the security tools, whose basis allows their use to circumvent the geographical restrictions. In this chapter the performances of individual tools are evaluated, whereas the evaluation has been based on the original, two-month lasting research of internet speed connection, where particular security tools were used. The conclusion proves that it is possible to use security tools for circumvent geographic restrictions at providers of AV media services on demand. To prove this statement the author made a second test, where he observed the quality of instantly playing video with the use of individual security tools within the different providers of an AV media services on demand.

Kuželka, Kryštof ; Pavlíček, Antonín (advisor) ; Smutný, Zdeněk (referee)
This work is devoted to analysis of the purposes of copyright using analysis of copyright history, current and proposed legal acts and recent lawsuits. It shows that one of the purposes, the one that is mostly the subject of the lawsuits, is the entertainment industry's effort to restrict copying and sharing of digital works to the public. The last part of the thesis offers a solution. The first part analyzes the very concept of copyright, what are the grounds of its protection, and what has changed with the start of the digital age. In the next section there is description and summary of the world's two most important legal acts in the area of copyright protection -- DMCA, representing an act that is in force and ACTA, representing a proposed act. Next section shows the impact of those acts using recent lawsuits divided according to their substance. This section is also showing unjustifiability of some purposes of the copyright protection, especially protection of the right to copy and share. The last part of this thesis introduces a model, which is using the Creative Commons and crowdfunding, and an application that would allow the public to share and copy digital works without limitations while ensuring remuneration to authors.

Meaning of cognitive processes for creating artificial intelligence
Smutný, Zdeněk ; Pstružina, Karel (advisor) ; Kelemen, Jozef (referee)
This diploma thesis brings an integral view at cognitive processes connected with artificial intelligence systems, and makes a comparison with the processes observed in nature, including human being. A historical background helps us to look at the whole issue from a certain point of view. The main axis of interest comes after the historical overview and includes the following: environment -- stimulations -- processing -- reflection in the cognitive system -- reaction to stimulation; I balance the approach and the limited potential of the human being against the machine (or artificial intelligence). In the last part, there are introduced two projects that have been already implemented in the inteligent transport systems, and their potential for the further expansion and development is shown here. The main emphasis is placed on the coherence between each part of this thesis and cognitive processes, and on the relation and the mutual dependence of these processes.
