Abstract: In a case where the storage area of an information processing apparatus is insufficient for data to be downloaded, an information terminal causes the size of a lacking storage space and a list of stored data in the storage area to be displayed, and accepts, from a user, selection of the data targeted for deletion. If the selection is expected to resolve the lack of storage space, the information terminal accepts a deletion request and issues the deletion request to a management server to achieve deletion of the target data.

Abstract: There is provided an information processing apparatus includes an outer frame portion which forms an outer frame of a display portion where an object is displayed; a position detecting portion which detects a position of an operating body coming in touch with or close to the display portion or the outer frame portion; and a display controlling portion which displays on the display portion, auxiliary information about an object situated at a position of the operating body detected by the position detecting portion at a start of the shift when the operating body shifts to the outer frame portion while keeping touch with or close to the display portion.

Abstract: A recording and reproducing apparatus includes: a recording means for storing a plurality of images in groups; a display means for displaying images stored in the recording means; a detecting means for detecting a part of a human body or an object in a predetermined form; and a display switching means for switching images to be displayed on the display means in accordance with a form of a part of a human body or a form of an object detected by the detecting means.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus is provided which includes a display unit on which an object is displayed, a position detector for detecting a position of an operating tool that is made to contact a surface of the display unit, a reference position determination unit for determining as a reference position a position of an operating tool that is detected first by the position detector when a plurality of operating tools are made to contact the display unit, a display change operation specifying unit for specifying, according to a moving direction of a position of an operating tool that is detected N-th (N?2) by the position detector, a specific display change operation associated with the direction, and a display controller for performing on the object the display change operation specified by the display change operation specifying unit with the reference position determined by the reference position determination unit as a reference.

Abstract: A display/input device is provided which includes a position sensor on which an electrode pattern in grid form is arranged, the position sensor being for specifying a position of an operating tool by detecting a capacitance changing at a contact part or a proximity part at a time the operating tool is made to contact the electrode pattern or is brought into proximity of the electrode pattern, and an outer frame portion forming an outer frame of a display screen provided with the position sensor. A boundary of an area where the position of the operating tool can be specified by the position sensor despite a non-presence of the electrode pattern is visually or haptically indicated at the outer frame portion.
