Abstract:
To provide a communication terminal apparatus including a first wireless communication unit that can connect with a host computer, a second wireless communication unit that can connect with connecting equipment by wireless, an equipment information storage unit for storing image information showing an appearance of the above-described connecting equipment, a display unit for displaying the appearance of the connecting equipment, and a designating unit for establishing communication with the connecting equipment thereafter, which is designated, when the appearance of the desired connecting equipment that is displayed in the above-described display unit is designated, in which, since the above-described wireless communication unit receives and displays image information showing the appearance of the above-described connecting equipment from the host computer if the image information showing the appearance of the above-described connecting equipment is not stored in the equipment information storage unit. Hence it becomes possible for the communication terminal apparatus to receive the appearance and product names of all the connecting equipment that are connected to the communication terminal apparatus, to display them in the display unit, and to establish communication.
Abstract:
A method of controlling a digital photographing apparatus including a plurality of display units includes displaying a replay image file on a first display unit, determining whether additional information exists in the replay image file, searching for the additional information when the additional information exists in the replay image file, and displaying the additional information on a second display unit.
Abstract:
An image processing apparatus includes: a drawing unit which draws one of a plurality of images arranged in an order specified on the basis of a predetermined rule as a reference image in an image memory and which arranges and draws the predetermined number of images located on either side of the reference image in the order and continuing from the reference image as near images of the reference image in the order with reference to the reference image in the image memory; a display controller which displays the images falling within a predetermined range among the images drawn in the image memory on a display unit; and a controller which changes the position of the predetermined range in accordance with an instruction operation of changing a display state of the images on the display unit, when the instruction operation is received.
Abstract:
Systems and methods of storing a message directed to a user and delivering the message from a network server to a user's client device provide for receiving the message and storing the message to an access-restricted user-specific message storage area. When an access request from an application program executing on the user's client device is received via a packet switched network in accordance with an Internet protocol, a determination is made whether to grant or deny the access request. If the request is granted, a link is provided to the user, wherein selection of the link causes the message to be transmitted to the application program via the packet switched network in accordance with the Internet protocol.
Abstract:
A method for proactively creating a image-based product includes identifying a group of images and automatically creating a design for a image-based product without receiving a user's request if the number of images in the group is determined to be within a predetermined range. The image-based product incorporates a plurality of images in the group. The method further includes presenting the design of the image-based product to a user for preview and making a physical manifestation of the image-based product based on the design.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an information processing apparatus and method which allow a user to readily select, upon transmission of an electronic mail or upon uploading of image data, image data of a plurality of images to be attached to the electronic mail or image data to be transmitted. The user uses a cross key and a determination button of an inputting section of a camcorder to operate an anchor 424 on an image selection screen 411 to operate a page backward feeding button 421 and a page feeding button 422 to select a thumbnail image displayed. In response to an operation of the user, the anchor 424 is positioned on the left side of the number of the thumbnail image designated by the user, and image data of the thumbnail image at which the anchor 424 is positioned are selected. At a left upper portion of the selected thumbnail image, a check mark representative of such selection is displayed. When the user wants to end the image selection operation, it operates the anchor to operate a determination button 426. The present invention can be applied to a camcorder.
Abstract:
A method for proactively creating a photobook includes identifying a group of images by a computer system and automatically creating a design for a photobook by the computer system without receiving a user's request for designing a photobook if the number of images in the group is determined to be within a predetermined range. Pages of the photobook incorporate a plurality of images in the group. The method further includes presenting the design of the photobook to a user for preview and receiving an order from the user for a physical manifestation of the photobook based on the design.
Abstract:
An information processing apparatus including a display section to display a data, an input section to input user input information, a communication section to communicate with a server, and a control section. The control section controls a display of a received message on the display section in accordance with the input information input through the input section. The control section displays, on the display section, a post card in which information included in the received message is laid out on a template selected in advance by the server, and enables a user to judge whether the post card corresponds to a read message or an unread message by displaying the post card corresponding to the read message in different display forms from the post card corresponding to the unread message.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus is provided that automatically performs preview display of a document image data before printing if a print condition set by a user includes a preset print condition. When an instruction for print execution is given, a preview display control portion automatically performs preview display of document image data if a print condition set by a user includes a print condition for automatic preview display stored in an automatic preview display print condition storage portion.
Abstract:
A reproducing apparatus of the present invention includes an image display device with a touch panel, picked-up images as candidates to be registered are displayed in the upper portion of a display unit of the image display device so that they are freely scrolled, and albums as registration-destined candidates are displayed in the lower portion of the display unit so that they are freely scrolled. When the touch panel is manipulated so as to draw a line segment whose locus shifts from a picked-up image shown in the upper portion to an album shown in the lower portion, the reproducing apparatus registers the picked-up image with the upper portion in the album in the lower portion.
