According to an embodiment of this invention, there is provided a method in which even if, in an environment where an information processing apparatus and an image processing apparatus are connected by USB, communication from the information processing apparatus is terminated midway, processing on the image processing apparatus side is terminated. In this method, an HTTP communication module transmits, to the image processing apparatus, request information including information for identifying communication with the image processing apparatus. If response information, from the image processing apparatus, corresponding to the request information does not match the transmitted request information, the HTTP communication module transmits an instruction to operate the image processing apparatus in a status in which it is possible to transmit the response information.

An image forming apparatus includes a controller that operates as a memory device detection module that detects connection of the memory device to the port, a speculative process control module that, when the connection of the memory device is detected, reads sizes of the one or more image data items from the memory device, and causes the image processor to speculatively process the one or more image data items in a descending order of the sizes, and a job execution module that, when the job execution request is input, reads the speculatively-processed image data item from the storage device on a basis of the selection request, and outputs the speculatively-processed image data item in response to the job execution request.

An example device includes at least one camera and a touchscreen user interface including thumbnail images for a plurality of stored pictures and a first button for a communication operation for sending a picture corresponding to a selected thumbnail image to another device.

An image forming apparatus records identification information of an external memory and identification information of a scan job as a log when the external memory is attached to start the scan job. When the external memory is removed in the middle of the scan job, scan data is temporarily saved together with the identification information of the job. When the removed external memory is attached, for example, in a ready state, log data is referred to determine whether the external memory is that removed in the middle of the job and whether the scan data associated with the external memory is saved. When it is determined that the scan data is saved, the scan data is saved in the external memory.

A file managing method for a digital apparatus includes (a) establishing a folder corresponding to a file type generated in an operational mode of the digital apparatus, and (b) storing a file according to its file type to the folder corresponding to the file type established in step (a).

A display control device includes: a display signal output unit configured so as to output a display image signal on a display unit so as to execute normal display, zoom-in display, scroll display, and zoom-out display regarding data to be displayed as display operation for data to be displayed; and a control unit configured to instruct the display signal output unit to perform, regarding data to be displayed, output of a display image signal for sequentially executing zoom-in display in a scroll start position from the normal display, scroll display from the scroll start position, and zoom-out display from a scroll end position to the normal display at a display unit.

Content proxy may be obtained. Content may include video captured by an action camera. Content proxy may include metadata information obtained contemporaneous with the content and stored in a session container. Content proxy may include lower data rate version of the content (thumbnails). Content proxy information may be viewed and/or analyzed in order to obtain one or more highlights. Content portion corresponding to the highlight may be obtained. Multiple versions of content proxy obtained by multiple cameras may be used to identify, display, and/or share content portions in a multi-camera/multiuser applications.

An image forming apparatus includes a controller that operates as a memory device detection module that detects connection of the memory device to the port, a speculative process control module that, when the connection of the memory device is detected, reads sizes of the one or more image data items from the memory device, and causes the image processor to speculatively process the one or more image data items in a descending order of the sizes, and a job execution module that, when the job execution request is input, reads the speculatively-processed image data item from the storage device on a basis of the selection request, and outputs the speculatively-processed image data item in response to the job execution request.

The present invention relates to a camera system, comprising: a camera operative to capture an image, said camera comprising a power input port for coupling to a power supply assembly; a housing for supporting said camera, said housing comprising an opening, wherein said opening is arranged to provide access to said power input port; a removable panel engageable to said housing to cover said opening by a security fastener to secure said removable panel to said housing in a cover configuration, said removable panel comprising a formation for engaging with at least one portion of said power supply assembly in said cover configuration to restrain movement of said power supply assembly to maintain a coupled arrangement of said power supply assembly and said power input port in said cover configuration.

An electronic device that includes an external storage medium connection unit to which an external storage medium is connected; a detection unit that detects whether or not demonstration data is stored in the external storage medium connected to the external storage medium connection unit; and an operation mode control unit that causes the device to operate in a demonstration mode in a case where the demonstration data is stored in the external storage medium connected to the external storage medium connection unit, and causes the device to operate in a normal mode in a case where the external storage medium is not connected to the external storage medium connection unit and no demonstration data is stored in the external storage medium connected to the external storage medium connection unit.
