Abstract: According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes a processor. The processor displays, when display of a list of images is requested, thumbnails corresponding to the images based on attributes associated with the images, displays a first element on a first thumbnail arranged at a first position of the thumbnails, the first element indicative of a first attribute associated with a first image corresponding to the first thumbnail, and displays, when the first element is selected, elements indicative of attributes precedent to or subsequent to the first attribute of the attributes associated with the images.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a method for controlling an electronic apparatus capable of communicating with a wearable electronic device includes: restricting at least one function of the electronic apparatus based on a signal received from the wearable electronic device, the signal being usable in measuring a distance between the wearable electronic device and the electronic apparatus; and reducing traffic of the signal between the wearable electronic device and the electronic apparatus from a first level to a second level while the electronic apparatus is directly operated by a user.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an electronic device includes a receiver and circuitry. The receiver is configured to receive, from another electronic device, information relating to peripheral illuminance of the other electronic device. The circuitry is configured to change brightness of a display based on the information relating to peripheral illuminance of the other electronic device and intensity of a signal received by the receiver from the other electronic device. The other electronic device is a wearable electronic device.

Abstract: An electronic device including: a communication device; and circuitry configured to receive a first instruction for changing a mode of the electronic device to a first mode, configured to transmit by using the communication device to an external device a second instruction for changing a mode of the external device to a second mode corresponding to the first mode, and configured to change a mode of the electronic device to the first mode.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a method for information processing executed in an information processing apparatus processing recording data, including, dividing the recording data into a plurality of recording data blocks, recording management information on corresponding first management areas in n storage media, the n storage media comprising a first storage medium to an nth storage medium, wherein n comprises an integer equal to or larger than 2, and recording the recording data blocks on corresponding second management areas of the n storage media by a controller configured to control the information processing apparatus.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an information recording apparatus includes a divider, a generator, and a recorder. The divider is configured to divide recording data into a plurality of recording data blocks for each predetermined recording unit. The generator is configured to set, as a first block set, n recording data blocks recorded in corresponding areas in file system management areas of n, first to nth (n: integer, n?2) storages, and generate first parity data from the n recording data blocks forming the first block set. The recorder is configured to record the n recording data blocks forming the first block set and the first parity data.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a picture display apparatus includes: a user information acquisition unit that acquires user information that is displayed when the picture display apparatus is powered on next time; a memory that stores the user information at the time of powering off the picture display apparatus, the user information acquired by the user information acquisition unit; and a display unit that displays the user information stored in the memory during a start-up process at the time of powering on the picture display apparatus.

Abstract: There is disclosed a recording/reproducing apparatus configured to receive an operation instruction supplied via a communication network, to execute a corresponding operation in accordance with an operation instruction obtained by analyzing contents of the received operation instruction, and to announce a result of executing the operation instruction to an operation instruction supply source. Accordingly, a state of the recording/reproducing apparatus is known from the outside, whereby the recording/reproducing apparatus can be operated.

Abstract: A contents recording/playback apparatus records and plays back contents data. The contents recording/playback apparatus includes a control button configured to issue an insert instruction of contents data to be inserted into contents data whose recording or playback is in progress, and a data editing unit configured to insert contents data, which is prepared in advance in the apparatus as the contents data to be inserted, in a current recording or playback position of the contents data whose recording or playback is in progress, when the control button is operated while the recording or playback of the contents data is in progress.
