A system includes a detection device, a processing device, and an external device. The detection device includes a detector that detects a nearby event and a first controller that transmits data related to an event detected by the detector to the external device. The processing device includes a processor that performs processing or a second controller that controls the detection device. The external device includes a generation unit that receives and analyzes the data transmitted from the first controller, and generates control information for controlling the processor or the detection device, and a transmitter that transmits the control information to the second controller associated with the first controller from which the data is transmitted.

A device for causing a display unit to partially display a screen having a scroll region in which a content is scrolled and an operation region is provided. The device includes: a setting portion that sets a target region which is a part of the screen displayed by the display unit; a change instructing portion that instructs the setting portion to change the target region based on operation on the operation region; a determination portion that judges, when the setting portion changes the target region, whether or not a size of the operation region of the target region is smaller than a set value; a display change portion that causes the setting portion to perform processing of increasing the operation region displayed by the display unit; and a generating portion that generates section screen data representing a content in the target region.

An information processing system including an image forming apparatus and a portable terminal that is allowed to communicate with the image forming apparatus, includes a hardware processor that: determines whether a cooperative screen for cooperating with the image forming apparatus includes an operation-receiving region for receiving an operation by a user, the cooperative screen being displayed on a display of the portable terminal; extracts, from the cooperative screen, an image corresponding to an operating region including the operation-receiving region when the hardware processor determines that the cooperative screen includes the operation-receiving region; and displays, on a display of the image forming apparatus, the image corresponding to the operating region extracted by the hardware processor.

An apparatus that causes a device to print an image includes at least one processor, and a display screen. A state of the apparatus is changed from a first state to a second state when an image is settled as a print target by a user, the first state being a state in which the at least one processor does not cause the device to print the image even if the apparatus is put close to the device, and the second state being a state in which the at least one processor can cause the device to print the image if the apparatus is put close to the device. After the apparatus in the second state performs a short distance wireless communication with the device, the device prints the image.

An approach is provided for managing a usage of a camera. Based on a second location of the camera being determined to match a first location associated incidents of camera usage that caused harm, the camera is determined to be at a location of concern. The user is notified about the location of concern by a rule-specified, highlighted boundary in a pre-captured first image on the camera display. A person in a pre-captured second image is determined to be within the boundary. The usage of the camera by the user is determined to likely cause a danger to the person. Based on the person being within the boundary and the usage of the camera being likely to cause the danger, a functionality of the camera is disabled so that the camera is not able to capture an image.

Techniques describe opportunistically capturing and tagging images with wireless information by a mobile device. The tagged image may be transmitted to a remote server, such as a crowdsourcing server, where the location at which the image was captured may be determined using visual features from the image. An association between the location and the wireless measurements may be used in building/maintaining a heatmap. In one embodiment, techniques are described for setting camera parameters for opportunistically capturing images and may include receiving at least one signal associated with at least one signal emitting device, determining information associated with the at least one signal emitting device using the at least one signal, setting at least one camera parameter for a camera coupled to the mobile device based on the information associated with the at least one signal emitting device, and capturing one or more images using the at least one camera parameter.

An approach is provided for managing a usage of a camera. A context of a camera being used by a user is determined. The context includes information selected from: a geographic location of the camera, a direction in which the camera is pointed, a position of the user, a time at which the camera is being used by the user, and an identification of object(s) in an image being processed by the camera. Based on the context of the camera, it is determined that the usage of the camera by the user is likely to cause a danger to the user or to another person. Based on the usage of the camera being likely to cause the danger, a functionality of the camera is disabled or a notification about the danger is sent to one or more persons.

An electronic device includes a setting unit configured to set setting information of an operation of the electronic device according to common setting information; a designation information acquisition unit configured to acquire designation information, which designates an acquisition origin of the common setting information, via a network; and a setting information acquisition unit configured to acquire the common setting information from the acquisition origin of the common setting information designated by the designation information acquired by the designation information acquisition unit.

An information processing method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure transmits identification information of a virtual space to a scanning apparatus based on a scan instruction input in the virtual space, scans a document to generate image data, transmits the identification information and the image data to an information processing apparatus that provides a service for sharing information in the virtual space, and executes processing for displaying an object based on the transmitted image data in the virtual space corresponding to the identification information.
