Abstract: An information processing apparatus, according to an embodiment, includes a reception module configured to receive image data that includes an image shared from an external device. The shared image corresponds to an image displayed on the external device. The information processing apparatus also includes a display control module to display at least a part of the shared image on a display unit. The image displayed on the display unit is at a resolution that is different from the resolution on the external device. A detection module in the apparatus detects an operation input (e.g., a user selection/input) that is performed on the display unit. A transmission module transmits operating information that allows a position on the external device display that corresponds to a position on the display unit at which the operation input was detected to be specified.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a data transmitter includes a radio receiver, a power distributor, a storage module, a radio transmitter, and a power supply. The radio receiver receives a radio signal from an external device. The power distributor distributes power from the radio signal received by the radio receiver. The storage module stores information and is supplied with the power distributed by the power distributor to be readable when no power is supplied from a main power supply. The main power supply supplies power to the entire data transmitter. The radio transmitter is supplied with the power distributed by the power distributor and transmits the information read from the storage module as a radio signal to the external device. The power supply is capable of switching power to be supplied between the power distributed by the power distributor and the power supplied from the main power supply.
