Abstract:
A recording medium removable from a host device includes a wireless communication unit for establishing wireless communication with an external device different from the host device, an image transmission control unit for transmitting image data to the external device via the wireless communication established by the wireless communication unit by using an image transmission protocol, and an identifying unit for identifying the identifier of the external device serving as the transmission target of the image data by the image transmission control unit. The wireless communication unit transmits a notification signal notifying a device in a network of the presence of a connectable device, receives a connect request transmitted by the device that has received the notification signal, and if the received connect request has been transmitted from the external device indicated by the identifier identified by the identifying unit, accepts the connect request.
Abstract:
A display control apparatus that allows a user to easily find a desired image on a multi-display screen in a short time. Attribute information of images stored in a storage medium is read out. The images stored in the storage medium is classified into a plurality of groups on the basis of the read attribute information and arranged for each group on a multi-display screen which is controlled to be displayed on a display device. Display processing is controlled so that, when the multi-display screen is displayed, an image having the highest priority of the display processing in a first group having the highest priority of the display processing of the groups is displayed first, and then display processing of an image having the highest priority of the display processing in a second group of the groups.
Abstract:
A document management apparatus includes a holding unit, a searching unit, and a deletion unit. The holding unit holds print data that includes an image of a printed document and attribute information on the printed document. In a case where an image of a document to be registered and attribute information on the document to be registered are registered in the holding unit, the holding unit holds deletion information and the attribute information on the document to be registered in association with each other. In a case where the document to be registered is registered in the holding unit, the searching unit searches the print data held in the holding unit for print data having the deletion information associated with the attribute information on the registered document. The deletion unit deletes at least an image of a document included in the print data found as a result of the search.
Abstract:
An information processing system including an information processing apparatus that selects between transferring data and obtaining data, and controls transferring data or obtaining data based on the selection. The system also includes a server that stores data transferred from the information processing apparatus, and controls transferring data to the information processing apparatus based on a request for transferring data received from the information processing apparatus.
Abstract:
In a data processing apparatus having a plurality of card slots in which memory cards are removably inserted, it is determined, with regard to each of the plurality of card slots, whether a memory card that has been inserted into the slot is a wireless card having a wireless communication function. In a case where it is determined that a memory card that has been inserted into a first card slot among the plurality of card slots is the wireless card, the wireless communication function of the wireless card is enabled. In a case where it is determined that a memory card that has been inserted into a card slot other than the first card slot is the wireless card, the wireless communication function of the wireless card is disabled.
Abstract:
A scanning apparatus and a method thereof include a scanning unit scanning a document and outputting a scanned result, at least one external storage unit detachably attached to the apparatus, at least one internal storage unit, and a controller detecting an attachment state of the external storage unit and storing the scanned result in one of the external storage unit and the internal storage unit according to the attachment state of the external storage unit. The scanning unit of the scanning apparatus is combined with a user scanning unit and a user printing unit into a combination apparatus, and the scanned result is printed in a printing apparatus spaced-apart from the scanning apparatus by a distance, thereby removing cables between the scanning or printing apparatus and a personal computer. Regardless of an attachment state of the external storage unit, the document is scanned in the real time, and the scanning apparatus is commonly used with a plurality of personal computers which are not connected to the scanning apparatus.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a captured image display apparatus that allows a user to swiftly confirm an image concerning a captured image even before receiving of the captured image is completed. A captured image display apparatus includes a live view image receiving unit configured to receive a live view image concerning a captured image from an imaging apparatus, a live view image display unit configured to display the live view image on a display unit when a release notification has been received from the imaging apparatus, a captured image receiving unit configured to receive a captured image from the imaging apparatus, and a captured image display unit configured to display the captured image on the display unit when receiving of the captured image has been completed by the captured image receiving unit.
Abstract:
A device is provided that includes a recording medium with embedded communication functionality, a communication controller, a communication status verifier, a communication period calculator, and a verification interval setter. The recording medium stores data. The communication controller transmits the data to an external system via the recording medium. The communication status verifier obtains the communication status of the recording medium at a predetermined interval. The communication period calculator estimates a communication period required by the communication controller when transmitting the data to the external system. The verification interval setter relatively increases the frequency of the communication status verification, which is performed by the communication status verifier, from a predetermined time before or a predetermined time after the end of the estimated communication period until the obtained communication status indicates completion of the data transmission.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for providing, sharing, storing and playing widgets and associated media content on a personal audiovisual device, such as a digital photo frame, are described. In one implementation, widgets may be selected by a user for rendering based on capabilities of a user's device, with the widgets then provided to the device for playback. Digital content such as audio files, images, and/or video may be rendered in conjunction with playback of the widget. Widgets may be shared between users so as to facilitate sharing of media content.
Abstract:
An electronic album and a method for replaying the electronic album are provided. The method for replaying the electronic album includes determining whether a predetermined command is received, and replaying an image file and audio file simultaneously, if it is determined that the predetermined command is received. Hence, it is possible for a user to utilize image and audio files which are automatically replayed simultaneously.
