An information processing device includes a first input interface to receive data transferred in a first transfer mode in which a plurality of elements of the data each belonging to a same line of a plurality of lines are transferred in parallel, a second input interface to receive data transferred in a second transfer mode in which a plurality of elements of the data each belonging to a corresponding one of the plurality of lines are transferred in parallel, a mode selection circuit to change a transfer mode of the data from the second input interface from the second transfer mode to the first transfer mode based on a signal indicating selection of the second input interface, and an output interface to output one of the data from the first input interface and the data from the second input interface.

A method for proactively creating an image product includes capturing an image of an object in a first environment by a device, storing a library of personalized products each characterized by a product type, automatically recognizing the object in the image as having a product type associated with the library of personalized products, automatically creating a design for the personalized product of the product type using personalized content, automatically displaying the design of the personalized product of the product type incorporating the selected photo in the first environment on the device, and manufacturing a physical product based on the design of the personalized product.

An information processing apparatus includes a memory and a processor. The processor is configured to: when an extension device that extends functions of the information processing apparatus by being connected to the information processing apparatus is connected to the information processing apparatus, display (i) information representing a basic function provided in the information processing apparatus and (ii) information representing an extended function added by the extension device on one screen together; and when the connection with the extension device is released, display the information representing the extended function so as to indicate that the extended function becomes available when the extension device is connected to the information processing apparatus.

Control circuitry includes a converter and an arbitration unit. The converter is configured to convert a first signal based on a first communication standard to an internal second signal based on a second communication standard and output the internal second signal. The arbitration unit is configured to arbitrate between access of the internal second signal output from the converter and access of an external second signal, which is also based on the second communication standard, input from outside the control circuitry.
