Abstract: An image-capturing apparatus includes an image-capturing device; a detecting unit configured to detect a facial direction of a user with respect to the image-capturing apparatus; a setting unit configured to set a clipping range in each frame image in a moving image that is image-captured by the image-capturing device, on the basis of the facial direction that is detected; and a generating unit that is configured to generate a clipped moving image from the clipping range. The generating unit generates the clipped moving image by changing the clipping range set with respect to a frame image in an action period, during which the user performs an action of directing a face toward a display device communicably connected to the image-capturing apparatus, to the clipping range set with respect to a frame image from before the action period starting.

Abstract: Data reception via an appropriate route is realized on an information processing apparatus that can receive data from a communication apparatus via one of a plurality of different routes, and in a control method therefor. If a first device has been discovered on a first network, data is received from the first device on the first network. If the data received from the first device on the first network is to be transferred from a second device existing on a second network, the data is uploaded onto the second device. At this time, whether or not data received by the first reception unit is to be transferred from the second device is determined in accordance with a setting at the time of the discovery of the first device.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to selectively switching binding processing according to a remaining amount of consumable materials required for the binding processing even in a case where the binding processing for binding sheets by using consumable materials is specified. To achieve this purpose, a sheet processing apparatus includes a first binding unit configured to bind sheets by using a consumable material, a second binding unit configured to bind sheets without using the consumable material, and a control unit configured to control the sheet processing apparatus to perform binding processing on sheets by using the first or the second binding unit, wherein the control unit determines whether to perform the binding processing by using the first binding unit or by using the second binding unit according at least to a remaining amount of the consumable materials.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus that is capable of preventing failure of binding of printed sheets. A PDL processor determines based on print data whether or not needleless binding has been set. If needleless binding has been set, the PDL processor acquires a sheet type of each page from the print data. The PDL processor determines whether the sheet type of the page is needleless binding executable. The PDL processor replaces a sheet type which is determined to be needleless binding unexecutable, with a sheet type which is needleless binding executable. A post-processing apparatus performs needleless binding on the bundle of printed sheets in which any needleless binding unexecutable sheet is replaced with a sheet of the needleless binding executable type.

Abstract: A third image is generated using an image obtained by rotating a second image by 180 degrees if designating being in an open state or a second image if designating being in a closed state. If being in the open state, an image obtained by coupling the first and third images while the lower side of the third image is aligned with a flap connecting side is generated as an image to be printed on a surface constituted by the obverse surface of an envelope and the flap. If being in the closed state, an image obtained by superimposing the third image on the first image while the upper side of the third image is aligned with the flap connecting side is generated as an image to be printed on a surface constituted by the reverse surface of the envelope and the flap.
