Abstract: First, an image ordering rule is selected from among multiple image ordering rules that use mutually different types of image characteristic values to determine the order of arrangement of images. The image characteristic value used by the selected image ordering rule is then obtained for each of a plurality of images. The order of arrangement of a plurality of images is determined based on the selected image ordering rule and the image characteristic values for a plurality of images. Furthermore, the number of images to be placed on each page is determined based on the maximum number of images that can be included in each page of the electronic album. Finally, an electronic album in which a plurality of images are laid out on multiple pages in sequential order is created in accordance with the order of arrangement of a plurality of images and the number of images to be placed on each page.

Abstract: The invention provides a technique allowing decorative images added to individual input images to be easily selected. A image processing device 200 comprises a decorative image storage unit 260 configured to store a plurality of decorative images, and a representative color acquisition unit 220 configured to acquire a representative color RC of the input image. A decorative image selecting unit 230 selects a decorative image FP to be added to input images IP based on the representative color RC of the input image. The selected decorative image FP is added to individual input image IP by the image processing device 200.

Abstract: The invention provides a technique for generating a decorative image to be added to an input image which are suitable for input images. The data structure 300 of decorative image data representing the decorative image to be added to the input image by means of an image processing apparatus comprises an element image storage portion for storing color element image data representing image constituting at least some of the area of the decorative image. The element image storage portion stores a non-rewritable MIB representing whether modification of image representation components included in the color element image data is permitted by the image processing apparatus.

Abstract: Interface screen 30 is displayed on display 3 of data processing system 1; interface screen 30 is a composite screen of an interface screen of open Layer L1 on which data processing operations are available for general use, and an interface screen of closed layer L2 to which access is restricted to designated users. Identification data ID transmitted from pen-form operating device 2 is received in receiving part 15 of data processing system 1. When a position is selected by contacting an area on touch panel 3b with an operating device, the contacted position is detected by touch panel 3b. CPU 10 determines whether identification data ID stored in ROM 12 is received. CPU 10, on the basis of this determination result, selects both or either of layers L1 and/or L2. When a position is detected by touch panel 3b, CPU 10 executes a data processing operation corresponding to a detected position on selected layer(s).

Abstract: To provide a data communications control system suitable for communicating data between information terminals equipped with an information input device as well as to provide a data communications control server, information input device, data communications control program, input device control program, and terminals control program for the system.

Abstract: A recycling facilitating system including an item identification data input unit for inputting item identification data, an item disassembly data memory for storing item disassembly data in correspondence with the item identification data, an item disassembly data retrieval unit for retrieving the item disassembly data, a disassembly diagram constructing unit for constructing the disassembly diagram based on the item disassembly data, and a disassembly diagram output unit for outputting the disassembly diagram; the disassembly diagram constructing unit determines the progress status of an operation step of disassembling the item to be recycled by identifying a component that was removed during the operation step, and, in accordance with the progress status, constructs one of a plurality of disassembly diagrams, which can be constructed from the item disassembly data that was retrieved by the item disassembly data retrieval unit.

Abstract: First, by connecting a wireless communication terminal, which has a cable communication unit, to another wireless communication terminal, which also has a cable communication unit, via their respective cable communication units, guide information, which is required to determine communication parameters for wireless communication between said two wireless communication terminals using their respective wireless communication units, is communicated under said connection. Next, said communication parameters are determined on the basis of said guide information, and determined communication parameters are communicated under said connection. Next, said communication parameters are applied to said two wireless communication terminals automatically. Consequently, users of said two wireless communication terminals can start a wireless communication between said two wireless communication terminals.

Abstract: When storing a user input data such as voice data or image data into a mobile telephone, data processing unit 17 of the mobile telephone relates the user input data with the base station code stored in location information file 12, and stores them in data file 18. Then when data processing unit 17 receives a base station code, it retrieves a user input data such as voice data or image data stored in relation with the base station code. Then when the user input data is a voice data, data processing unit 17 outputs sound from a speaker. When the user input data is an image data, data processing unit 17 displays it on the LCD screen.

Abstract: ROM 12 of data processing system 1 stores identification data ID. Receiving part 15 receives identification data ID transmitted by discrete operating device 2 in the possession of an authorized user. CPU 10, on the basis of received identification data ID, determines continuously whether the authorized user holding the discrete operating device 2 remains within close range of data processing system 1. While authenticating a user on the basis of the determination result, CPU 10 carries out data processing instigated by an operation of the user holding the discrete operating device 2. Accordingly, it is possible to simply and reliably prevent unauthorized use of a data processing system.

Abstract: A data transmitter/receiver apparatus transmits host computer screen data by wireless interface or by cable to terminal. Also, the screen data is transmitted to the terminal as the bit-mapped data constituting that screen, and screen display is performed. At that time, the bit-mapped data is divided into blocks, converted into indexes having a smaller number of bits than the pixels to transmit, making the number of bits in the indexes representing each block of pixels smaller as the number of colors used within each block is smaller, and compressed before sending; the blocks may be made in units of 10K-50K pixels. Furthermore, only the parts changed in the data composing one screen are detected by comparing with the screen one screen before, and transmits the data of the changed rectangular portion when the changed rectangle detector has detected as a changed rectangle the region computed by .vertline.X1-X2.vertline..times..vertline.Y1-Y2.vertline.
