A printing apparatus that can keep a target object from coming into contact with a printing unit, and a controlling method for the printing apparatus are provided. To this end, the printing apparatus includes a first adjustment unit that can adjust a first distance in a first direction between a first target object placed on a first placement unit and a printing unit, a second adjustment unit that can adjust a second distance in the first direction between a second target object placed on a second placement unit and the printing unit, and a control unit that controls at least one of the first adjustment unit and the second adjustment unit such that the first distance is smaller than the second distance in a case of printing on the first target object.

The present invention aims to provide an information processing device, computer readable media, a nail printing system and a nail design selection method which make it possible to present nail designs which are more suitable for a psychosomatic state of a user.

A print device includes a control unit which acquires biological information which relates to a blood flow of the user and determines nail designs to be presented to the user on the basis of the acquired biological information.

An object of the present disclosure is to improve usability. One embodiment of the present invention is a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program for causing an information processing apparatus to function as: a first display control unit configured to display an area a user can edit on a fingernail area in a finger image on a first screen that displays the finger image for each finger; and a second display control unit configured to display a second screen that enlarges and displays the editable area in response to user instructions to designate a position outside the area in a specific finger image corresponding to the area of an editing target via the first screen.

A technique capable of correcting the inclination of a light in the height direction to suppress deterioration in the printing quality is to be provided. Regarding a detecting unit capable of detecting a placed nail portion by use of a light whose distance in a predetermined direction is maintained to a predetermined distance, a correction value for correcting the deviation of the nail portion from a position corresponding to the predetermined distance in the predetermined direction, which is caused by the inclination of the light, is obtained. Further, based on a result of the detection by the detecting unit and the correction value, a condition for printing performed by a printing unit on the nail portion is adjusted for printing.

An object of the present disclosure is to print a nail art correctly in a case where the fingernail position changes during the period from detection of a printing-target fingernail area until printing is performed. One embodiment of the present invention is a program for causing a computer of an information processing apparatus to function as: a first detection unit configured to detect a printing-target fingernail area from a first captured image; a creation unit configured to create print data for performing printing in a fingernail area detected by the first detection unit; a second detection unit configured to detect a printing-target fingernail area from a second captured image before transmitting the print data to a printer; and a correction unit configured to correct the print data based on a difference between first detection results by the first detection unit and second detection results by the second detection unit.

An object is to reduce the processing time. One embodiment is a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program for causing an information processing apparatus to function as: a detection unit configured to detect an area of a first object for each second object from a captured image obtained by capturing the second object including the first object; a first display control unit configured to display a display item indicating a detected area at a position corresponding to the area detected by the detection unit in the captured image displayed on a screen; and a second display control unit configured to display a temporary area that is created based on the area of the first object detected in the second object in which area detection has succeeded in the captured image of the second object that is displayed on the screen and in which area detection has failed.

A drawing apparatus includes a drawing unit that forms a nail design on a nail of an object by performing a plurality of processes and a processor that extracts a feature value of the object and controls the drawing unit.

The processor acquires information on a performed process with respect to the nail of one object, whose nail is provided to be formed with the nail design, based on process management information in which the feature value with respect to each of a plurality of the objects and an information on the performed process with respect to the nail of each of the plurality of the objects are registered in association with each other and the feature value with respect to the one object, and determines a specific process to be performed to the nail of the one object, and causes the drawing unit to perform the specific process.

A drawing apparatus includes an object receiver into which an object is inserted, the object being at least one finger or toe having a nail to be drawn, an object holder that is configured to hold the object inserted into the object receiver and processor. The processor is configured to adjust a holding level by the object holder on the basis of a size of the object.

A drawing apparatus includes a drawing device provided with at least one pen or nozzle configured to perform a drawing on a nail, a processor which controls operations of the pen or the nozzle, and a cleaning pad provided to clean a tip of the pen or the nozzle. The processor causes the tip of the pen or the nozzle to be cleaned by bringing the tip of the pen or the nozzle into a pressed state where the tip of the pen or the nozzle is pressed against the cleaning pad.

A drawing apparatus including a drawing unit that detachably holds a drawing tool that performs a drawing on an object and a drawing tool standby unit for causing at least one spare drawing tool to stand by.

In a state where a first drawing tool is caused to be held in the drawing unit and a second drawing tool is caused to be held in the drawing tool standby unit, the drawing unit is controlled to perform a drawing within a first region of the object by using the first drawing tool and, when a first undrawn area occurred within the first region, the first undrawn area being an area where the first drawing tool was not performed correctly, the first drawing tool held is caused to be replaced with the second drawing tool; and the drawing unit is caused to perform a drawing in the undrawn area by using the second drawing tool.
