Abstract: An information processing device includes a communication unit configured to communicate with an external device and a display control unit configured to display a state of the external device with a captured image. When a notification command indicating that an indicator of the external device is turned on or blinking is received from the external device via the communication unit, the display control unit displays information on the state of the external device based on the notification command with the image and transmits a control command for turning off the indicator to the external device via the communication unit.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus that is able to prevent negative influence caused by an illuminating unit of an external device emitting light or flashing when specifying the external device, wherein the image processing apparatus includes a control unit configured to control a display screen that performs superimposed display of information relating to an external device on a video image including the external device that has been captured by an image capturing unit; and determining unit configured to determine whether the illuminating unit of the external device is in use or not, or whether an image recognition operation based on the video image is in progress or not, wherein when an instruction to make an illuminating unit of the external device light up or flash has been input, in a case in which determining unit determines that the illuminating unit of the external device is in use, or an image recognition operation based on the video image is in progress, the control unit displays a screen for displaying

Abstract: In order to provide a monitoring device in which a pre-determined action is stably executed in response to detected pre-determined information, a monitoring device has a rule control unit configured to execute a pre-determined action according to a detection of pre-determined information; a determination unit configured to determine whether or not the detection of the pre-determined information has already occurred; and a notification control unit configured to, when rules in the rule control means are set or changed, in the case in which it has been determined that the pre-determined information has already been detected by the determining unit, transmit information to a display control device so as to display a message to the effect that the detection has already occurred.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a storage unit configured to store setting that associates a node number assigned to a first external device with a first command transmittable and receivable to/from the first external device, a determination unit configured to determine, in a case where the first command is not transmittable and receivable to/from a second external device that takes over the node number of the first external device, whether a second command compatible with the first command is transmittable and receivable to/from the second external device, and a control unit configured to perform, in a case where the determination unit determines that the second command is transmittable and receivable to/from the second external device, control to change the first command in the setting to the second command.

Abstract: An image capturing apparatus configured to transmit an instruction to an external device includes a reception unit that receives an instruction to the external device, a transmission unit that transmits the instruction to the external device for which the reception unit has received the instruction, and a display control unit that, when the external device does not execute a process according to the instruction transmitted by the transmission unit, superimposes information about the external device on an image of the external device captured by the image capturing unit.
