A method of providing information related to an object is provided. The method includes sensing a gesture related to the object located in a certain area via a first device, obtaining content related to the object according to the sensed gesture, and transmitting the obtained content to a second device that is connected with the first device in a network, wherein the content is output via the second device.

One or more system, apparatus, method, and computer readable media is described below for conveyance of hidden image data between a display and a camera. In some embodiments, modulating a display pixel refresh rate a predetermined amount relative to a target camera frame rate conveys hidden image data. In further embodiments, a camera module is employed to detect one or more changes in state and/or logic level associated with the pixel refresh rate modulation. The logic levels are then decoded to deduce the hidden image data. In some embodiments, a visually perceptible representation of the hidden image data is then output to a output panel. For example, in one exemplary embodiment the hidden image data includes a pixel value indicative of a color that is to be output to one or more pixel of a camera viewer.

A display apparatus transmits a picture acquisition request for getting picture information to an external image apparatus connected through a predetermined interface to the display apparatus from the external image apparatus at predetermined intervals and gets a plurality of pieces of picture information from the external image apparatus to be displayed. The plurality of pictures may be switched at predetermined intervals, for example, to be displayed, so that the plurality of pictures may be displayed in a so-called slide show manner. A plurality of pictures for thumbnail may be produced from the plurality of pieces of picture information and be arranged together to be displayed in one picture screen of a display device.

An electronic apparatus includes an operation unit and a control unit. The control unit performs a guidance image display control, a step bar display control, and a step bar operation detection control. When the touch operation on a given position of the step bar is detected in the step bar operation detection control, the control unit causes the display unit to display the plurality of guidance images corresponding to the process associated with the position where the touch operation has been made, in the guidance image display control.

An image processing apparatus for displaying an image on a display screen, inputs data, specifies at least one of a bright region and a dark region of an image corresponding to the image data, executes, for at least one of the bright region and the dark region, at least one of first chroma processing of increasing a chroma of the bright region, second chroma processing of lowering the chroma of the dark region, first hue processing of making a hue of the bright region close to red, and second hue processing of making the hue of the dark region close to blue in accordance with display dynamic range information corresponding to the display screen, and displays, on the display screen, an image based on corrected image data that has undergone correction.

According to an embodiment, a printer includes a display device and a controller device. The display device displays one of product information received from an external device and product information recorded in a memory device, as product-information-to-be-printed. When the printer is incapable of receiving the product information from the external device, the controller device controls the display device to display the product information recorded in the memory device, in a display mode indicating that the product-information-to-be-printed is the product information recorded in the memory device.

An image reader includes a first judging section which judges whether a newly captured image is an image obtained by page-turning of a book to a destination position of the page; a temporary storage section which temporarily stores the newly captured image as a previous captured image when it is judges that the newly captured image is not an image obtained by page-turning to a destination position; a second judging section which, prior to temporarily storing the newly captured image as a previous captured image, judges whether, based on a latest image temporarily stored as a previous captured image and the newly captured image to be temporarily stored, the latest captured image and the newly captured image are an image of same pages; and a determining section which determines the latest captured image as a storage target when it is judged that the latest captured image and the newly captured image are not an image of a same page.

A vehicle entertainment system includes a tablet unit and a cradle. The tablet unit includes a display and a touch screen input device disposed on a front surface, a first electrical connection, a first mounting mechanism, and a wireless receiver. The wireless receiver is configured to receive media data from a wireless network and the touch screen input device is configured to receive input from a user. The cradle is disposed in a headrest in a vehicle and includes a second electrical connection and a second mounting mechanism. The tablet unit is electrically connected to the cradle via the first and second electrical connections, and is physically coupled to the cradle via the first and second mounting mechanisms upon mounting the tablet unit to the cradle.

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.

Provided is an image conversion method that allows for the representation, on a display, the light and shade of a printed image obtained by printing the image on paper. The image conversion method includes a step of acquiring an illumination-light component and a reflectance component from an input image, a step of correcting the illumination-light component in accordance with display luminance information of a print mode in which the input image is to be printed, so that light and shade of the input image displayed on a display come close to light and shade of a printed image obtained by printing the input image in the print mode, and a step of acquiring a combined image by combining the corrected illumination-light component and the reflectance component or the corrected reflectance component.
