An image recording device includes a cartridge mount to which a cartridge is mounted, a print engine that performs printing, a cartridge interface, an information interface, a memory, and a controller. The controller stores setting information obtained through the information interface in the memory, transmits identification information, the setting information and a backup instruction to an information processing device, the identification information being associated with the cartridge mounted in the cartridge mount, the backup instruction being for instructing to store the identification information and the setting information in association with each other, obtains the identification information from a cartridge memory, transmits the obtained identification information and a return instruction to the information processing device, the return instruction being for instructing to return the setting information, obtains the setting information transmitted by the information processing device, and stores the setting information obtained from the information processing device in the memory.

An automatic fast display control method for web content that displays adjusted web content on each user terminal of a user within a period from when a request is transmitted from the user terminal of the user until the web content is ready to accept input on the user terminal of the user. The method includes: a step of a request processing unit of a server detecting a request; a step of an artificial intelligence server devising a strategic plan; a step of generating processed data on the basis of the strategic plan; and a step of displaying web content according to the processed data on a user terminal. The step of devising a strategic plan includes a step of learning an attribute shared by the processed data for displaying the web content more quickly.

A system including a first server that provides a first service is provided and includes communication and control circuitry. The communication circuitry communicates with a terminal of a user having a first account of the first service and with a second server that provides a second service. The control circuitry sends a request screen to the terminal when a request for a commodity or service has been received from the terminal in a non-logged-in state with the first account, inquires of the second server or a server associated with the second server whether the user has a second account associated with identification information of the user when the identification information is entered on the request screen, and sends, to the terminal, display information for logging in with the first account and performing linking processing of the first account and the second account when the user has the associated account.

An information processing system includes a first service server that provides a first service. The system includes a communication circuitry and a control circuitry. The communication circuitry communicates with a user terminal of a user not having a first account of the first service and with a second service server that provides a second service different from the first service. The control circuitry sends a purchase request screen to the user terminal when a purchase request for a commodity or service has been received from the user terminal, inquires of the second service server whether or not the user has a second account associated with predetermined identification information of the user when the identification information is entered on the purchase request screen, and sends display information for registering the first account and performing linking processing of the first account and the second account when the user has the associated account.

A channel content creation system capable of readily creating channel content is provided. A channel content creation system 1 selects program contents permitted to be published on a channel of a channel director from a plurality of program contents, extracts program contents satisfying a program search condition input by the channel director from the selected program contents, and displays the extracted program contents as candidates of program content to be selected when the channel director creates channel content. In addition, the channel content creation system 1 selects advertisement contents permitted to be published on the channel of the channel director from a plurality of advertisement contents, extracts advertisement contents satisfying an advertisement search condition input by the channel director from the selected advertisement contents, and displays the extracted advertisement contents as candidates of advertisement content to be selected when the channel director creates channel content.

Systems and methods are described for adapting a second user input device to resemble a first user input device while preserving new functionalities not available in the first user input device. The systems and methods may identify, based on identifiers of the first and second user input devices, a first and second set of device functionalities provided by the devices. The systems and methods may compare the sets of device functionalities to determine a set of common device functionalities and, in response, modify the display of an input of the second user input device to correspond to visual attributes of an input of the first user input device.

A method of identifying errors or manipulations of data or software, includes receiving a first hash value stored in a first block of the memory, receiving a second hash value from a reference memory, and comparing the hash values. If different, error correction information and the content of the first block is received. The content of the first block is reconstructed by in accordance with the error correction information, generating a hash value and comparing the hash value of the modified content with the received first hash value, until the modified content and the received hash values are identical. The content of the first block received from the reference memory and the content of the reconstructed first block stored in the memory of the device are compared for identifying the differences in the content.

To bring the excitement to the people (majority, who are not experts in games), we present the examples, described here, for one person to be able to bet on and be part of the deal and excitement for a third party, as his agent, proxy, or shadow, to bet for him, or instead of him, or as if the first person was doing the game directly, or one betting for another, or one playing for another with the other person's money. That generates more excitement on the game or casino, with more participation, transactions, income, profit, loyalty, and repeat customers. This brings a lot of variations on the game, e.g., stock market model, or derivatives model, or hedge model. This can be applied to sports and table games or fantasy sports. This can be applied to online, real, mobile, fantasy, simulation, computer generated, human based, or casino games or settings.

A live streaming system 10 identifies, with regard to a plurality of users each wearing an HMD 100 to watch same content, types of emotions that the plurality of users are experiencing based on information associated with the plurality of users, the information being detected by a predetermined apparatus. The live streaming system 10 generates, as an image to be displayed on the HMD 100 of a certain user of the plurality of users, an image including the content and at least one of a plurality of avatars corresponding to the plurality of users. The live streaming system 10 changes display appearances of the plurality of avatars depending on the types of emotions that the plurality of users are experiencing.

Layouts of data pads and dummy data pads are disclosed. A die may include a number of circuits, a first edge, a second edge perpendicular to the first edge, a third edge opposite the first edge, and a fourth edge. The die may further include a first number of data pads variously electrically coupled to the number of circuits and arranged proximate to the first edge and a first number of dummy data pads, not electrically coupled to the number of circuits, alternatingly arranged with the first number of data pads, and proximate to the first edge. The die may further include a second number of data pads arranged proximate to the third edge and a second number of dummy data pads, alternatingly arranged with the second number of data pads, and proximate to the third edge. Associated devices, systems, and methods are also disclosed.
