A liquid discharge apparatus includes a head having a discharge part configured to discharge a liquid, and a shield member that is movable between a first position at which the shield member shields the discharge part and a second position at which the shield member exposes the discharge part in accordance with a temperature of the head.

A reservation management system includes at least one processor. The at least one processor is configured to accept a reservation of at least one step in a task including a plurality of steps, and the step is performed for each user. The at least one processor is configured to derive estimated required time that is necessary to perform an entire task including the reserved step performed for each user. The at least one processor is configured to accept input of a progress status of each step performed for each user. The at least one processor is configured to update the estimated required time based on the input progress status.

A determiner includes a memory and at least one processor. In the memory, a program is stored. The processor executes the program stored in the memory, and obtains an image of a hand including at least a first finger placed on a placement surface, and determines a type of the first finger based on a placement state of second fingers recognized as fingers in the image.

Disclosed is an electronic device including at least one processor that: performs control to obtain a finger image including a nail which is a printing target and at least one photographed image including a specific part a state of which changes over time; and determines the state of the specific part based on a comparison result between the photographed image and a comparison image that is obtained by photographing a range including the specific part in a first state.

Aspects described herein may allow for generating a set of customized artificial fingernails based on the shape and size of the fingernails of an individual user. A computing system may generate an output file to produce the customized artificial fingernails based on a set of images displaying top-down views of a set of fingernails of a user. A reference table may be used to predict the curvature factor of each of the user's fingernails to provide information for the system regarding the three-dimensional size and shape of the user's fingernail simply based on the two-dimensional top-down views of fingernails in the set of images. That may help the user to get customized artificial fingernails in an easy and convenient way without the burden to display the user's fingernails from multiple angles.

Disclosed is a printing device including at least one processor and a print head. The processor detects a nail region based on an image obtained by photographing a finger or a toe, sets at least a part of the detected nail region as a preceding print setting region, detects a region on which the preceding print is printed as a succeeding print region based on an image obtained by photographing the finger or the toe on which the preceding print is printed, sets a succeeding print region reference point corresponding to the succeeding print region, or sets a preceding print setting region reference point corresponding to the preceding print setting region and the succeeding print region reference point, and causes the print head to print a succeeding print on the nail region based on information on the preceding print setting region and a reference point that is set.

Disclosed is an electronic equipment including: a memory in which a program is stored; and at least one processor that executes the program stored in the memory. The processor obtains ink information including information regarding a percentage of an ink remaining amount for each of a first ink and a second ink that has a color different from a color of the first ink in a print head that prints the first ink and the second ink, and selects a printing design based on the ink information.

A kit for usage by a nail polish application apparatus, the kit comprising one or more nail polish capsules. Each of the nail polish capsule(s) comprises a body portion defining a reservoir containing a nail polish fluid and a non-screw detachable cover having an integrated nail polish applying element. The non-screw detachable cover is mechanically coupled to an upper face of the body portion to seal an opening in the upper face.

A method for controlling a printer to print on a recording medium having a non-contact tag by a processor of the printer is provided. The method comprises placing the recording medium on a placement area of the printer; wireless reading, from the non-contact tag, a plurality of pieces of identification information each for identifying a specific image; detecting whether any one of a plurality operation buttons provided on the printer has been pressed by a user, wherein the pressed operation button is corresponding to one of plurality of pieces of identification information; acquiring, from a storage device provided in the printer, the specific image corresponding the one of plurality of pieces of identification information selected by the pressed operation button; and printing the specific image on the recording medium.

A drawing device includes an insertion case into which an object that is a finger or a toe having a nail to be drawn is inserted, and including a first surface provided with an opening area that exposes the nail in a state where the object is inserted and a second surface provided in a direction crossing the first surface, and an insertion area into which the insertion case is detachably inserted. An area of at least a part of the second surface, the area being corresponding to the nail in a state where the object is inserted, has transparency allowing an inside of the insertion case to be visible.
