A communication control method which prevents control over a USB device from being hampered and reducing power consumption at the same time. When the USB device and a control apparatus, which controls the USB device, are connected to the printing apparatus, and a communication via the printing apparatus is being carried out, the printing apparatus and the USB device are not shifted into a power saving mode in which energization of the printing apparatus and the USB device is limited. When the USB device and the control apparatus are connected to the printing apparatus, and a communication via the printing apparatus is not being carried out, the printing apparatus and the USB device are shifted into the power saving mode.

A terminal device includes a display unit that displays acquired image information, a receiving unit that receives an analysis position of quality unevenness in the image information, and a detection unit that detects pitch information by respectively performing frequency analysis on first and second regions containing the analysis position. The display unit displays the pitch information detected from the first region with respect to pitch information equal to or greater than a predetermined pitch length and displays the pitch information detected from the second region with respect to pitch information less than the predetermined pitch length.

An image management apparatus includes a memory, circuitry and a transmitter. The circuitry is configured to: generate a thumbnail image from each of captured images; store, in the memory, for each of the thumbnail images, thumbnail identification information for identifying the thumbnail image in association with related information relating to the captured image, the related information indicating one or more attributes of the captured image; transmit one or more thumbnail images of the thumbnail images stored in the memory to a communication terminal; and receive, from the communication terminal, a change request that requests to change a display of the screen to include a specific one or more thumbnail images each being associated with a specific attribute of the related information. The transmitter transmits the specific thumbnail images each identified by specific thumbnail identification information associated with the specific attribute of the related information.

A printer maintenance guide device includes a guide command button for commanding a maintenance guide for a maintenance work, and a moving image memory storing moving images for successively and continuously displaying a whole process of the maintenance guide from start to end at once on a display unit by the operation of the guide command button.

A screen display system includes a portable terminal apparatus and an image processing apparatus connectable with each other. The portable terminal apparatus includes a transmitter that transmits a screen image and application information to the image processing apparatus. The image processing apparatus includes: a receiver that receives the screen image and the application information; a first judgment portion that judges whether or not the application supports both portrait and landscape orientations with reference to the application information; a display having a portrait or landscape display screen; and a display control processor that makes the display to display the screen image such that at least one part of the screen image is enlarged in a direction of the length of the screen image, if the application supports either portrait or landscape orientation and the orientation supported by the application does not match the orientation of the display screen of the display.

Presentation by a display is enhanced by placing the active elements of the display at or substantially proximate to the surface of an electronic device. A protective sheet of the display is extended to cover a front surface of the electronic device. Such placement improves image quality, reduces shadow on the display, improves spill resistance, and minimizes the overall profile of the device.

[Object] To propose an information processing device, an information processing method, and a program capable of efficiently transmitting captured images between devices connected via a network even when a moving image or a plurality of still images are captured as a series of images.

[Solution] The information processing device includes: an acquisition unit configured to acquire a series of images captured by an imaging unit in accordance with a predetermined operation mode on the basis of an instruction from an external device connected via a network; and a transmission control unit configured to transmit a series of thumbnail images corresponding to the series of images to the external device via the network. The transmission control unit transmits at least some of the series of images to the external device via the network in accordance with an instruction from the external device to which the series of thumbnail images has been transmitted.

A non-transitory computer readable medium stores a communication program for causing a computer to execute a process for performing a function, the process including: verifying, when detected that a type of a target communication device is changed, setting details which are previously prepared by changing setting of a communication protocol based on the setting details which are previously prepared for the type of the target communication device and communicating with the target communication device; and applying the changed setting of the communication protocol when verified that no communication error is detected during the verification.

Described embodiments provide a method and user equipment for selectively transferring image data from user equipment to a coupled external device. The method may include determining whether user equipment is coupled to an external device, receiving selection inputs from a user for selecting at least one of applications installed in the user equipment when the user equipment is determined as being coupled to the external device, and selectively transferring image data produced in the user equipment based on the selected application. The method may further include controlling the coupled external device to display the transferred image data on a display unit of the coupled external device.

Disclosed is a guidance information display device, including: a display unit; a camera unit; an action detecting unit to detect a specific action of a user; and a control unit to instruct the display unit to display guidance information when the specific action is detected by the action detecting unit and a specific instrument to be operated is shot by the camera unit, the displayed guidance information corresponding to a combination of the detected specific action and the shot instrument to be operated.
