Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes a first communicator, a second communicator, a setter, and a controller. The first communicator performs first communication with an external device. The second communicator performs second communication with the external device. The setter sets a first function or a second function as a function when remotely activated from the external device. The first function includes a function of transmitting image data to the external device via the first communicator and receiving an operation signal for remote control from the external device. The second function includes a function of receiving the operation signal from the external device via the second communicator. The controller establishes a first connection of the first communication when remotely activated from the external device in a case where the first function is set. The controller establishes a second connection of the second communication after the first connection.

Abstract: An information apparatus is capable of communicating with a communication apparatus via first communication and second communication. The information apparatus includes a controller and a communication unit. The controller creates connection-mode information necessary for causing the communication apparatus to set a network configuration via the second communication, according to a communication mode of the information apparatus. The communication unit transmits the connection-mode information to the communication apparatus via the first communication.

Abstract: An information device includes a position detector, a communication unit, and a controller. The position detector detects specific position information indicating at least one of a fact that the information device is positioned at a specific location and a fact that the information device is away from the specific location. When the position detector detects the specific position information, the communication unit communicates with an electronic device and acquires from the electronic device remaining capacity information regarding at least one of a remaining battery capacity and a remaining memory capacity of the electronic device. The controller outputs a notification signal indicating that at least one of the remaining battery capacity and the remaining memory capacity indicated by the remaining capacity information is below a threshold set in advance in a case where at least one of the remaining battery capacity and the remaining memory capacity is below the threshold.

Abstract: Provided is an exclusive operation control apparatus which, when input operations of a plurality of users compete with each other, displays a content on which the plurality of input operations are reflected, instead of performing only one of the input operations. An operation determination section receives input information from the plurality of users, and determines an operation. An exclusive operation determination section determines an exclusive operation concerning a new operation by using the new operation and a previous operation. The content copying section copies the content based on a result of the determination. The content management section receives the new operation from the operation determination section and, when the new operation is an operation on the copied content, generates and displays on a display device display data which is obtained by reflecting the new operation on the copied content.

Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes an optical system to change a focus state of an image of a subject, an imaging unit to capture the image of the subject formed by the optical system and generate image data, an auto focus controller to control the optical system to focus on a partial area in the image indicated by the image data generated by the imaging unit, a manual focus changing unit to be operated manually by a user to change the focus state of the optical system, a display unit to display the image based on the image data generated by the imaging unit, and a display controller to control the display unit. When detecting that the manual focus changing unit is operated by the user while a focus state is maintained after the autofocus controller controls the optical system to the focus state, the display controller determines, as an enlarged area, an area including a partial area in the focused image by the autofocus controller and controls the display unit to display the image of the determined enlarged area.

Abstract: Provided is an exclusive operation control apparatus which, when input operations of a plurality of users compete with each other, displays a content on which the plurality of input operations are reflected, instead of performing only one of the input operations. An operation determination section (102) receives input information from the plurality of users, and determines an operation. An exclusive operation determination section (103) determines an exclusive operation concerning a new operation by using the new operation and a previous operation. The content copying section (104) copies the content based on a result of the determination. The content management section (104) receives the new operation from the operation determination section (102) and, when the new operation is an operation on the copied content, generates and displays on a display device (106) display data which is obtained by reflecting the new operation on the copied content.

Abstract: The image combining portable terminal combines a recorded image prepared in an uncombined image recording portion (200) and a captured image captured by a camera portion (220). A plurality of sets of mask information defining at least one area in which the captured image is to be combined with the recorded image are stored in a mask recording portion (210). The mask information acquiring portion (211) selects desired mask information from the mask recording portion (210) in response to an instruction of a user. The image combining portion (230) combines the recorded image and the captured image in an area designated by the mask information selected by the mask information acquiring portion (211).
