Patent number: 7849413Abstract: There is provided an information processing apparatus which allows a user interface implemented in a description language such as XML or the like to re-use a widget. A user interface description document can describe a command to allocate a widget with reference to a widget description document that describes the definition of the widget of the user interface. When the user interface description document describes the command, the information processing apparatus refers to the widget description document and generates structured data which expresses the contents that integrate the user interface description document and widget description document. The apparatus displays the user interface based on the generated structured data, and executes an operation in response to an input event from the user.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2007Date of Patent: December 7, 2010Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Makoto Hirota, Kenichiro Nakagawa, Hiromi Omi

Publication number: 20080065391Abstract: An input operation support apparatus which improves user friendliness and comfort by properly controlling a voice guide output along with an operation input from the user is provided. In the input operation support apparatus having a speech output unit which outputs a voice message corresponding to an input operation to an operation unit, a detection unit detects an input operation to the operation unit. When the detection unit detects the second input operation within a predetermined time after the first input operation, a control unit restricts output of a voice message corresponding to the second input operation from the speech output unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2007Publication date: March 13, 2008Applicant: CANON KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Hiromi Omi
