Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a matching design element determination unit and a creation unit. The matching design element determination unit determines a combination of matching design elements that meets a base impression evocation criterion, by combining plural design elements which define a design and correspond to a base style having the base impression and plural design elements which correspond to an auxiliary style having an auxiliary impression different from the base impression of the base style. The creation unit creates a design sample by using the combination of the matching design elements.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes an acquisition unit, an extraction unit, a receiving unit, and a specifying unit. The acquisition unit acquires an image. The extraction unit extracts a representative color which is a color representative of the image acquired by the acquisition unit. The receiving unit receives a designated word indicating emotion. The specifying unit specifies a color scheme to be applied to an image which is generated by a user, by using the word and the representative color.

Abstract: A display control apparatus includes an acquisition unit that acquires a document to be displayed on a display, a detector that detects at least one user present in a surrounding area of the display, and a display controller that controls a display angle of the document based on an orientation of the user with respect to the document displayed on the display.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a selector that selects at least one typeface with an impression that is most similar to an impression corresponding to a shape feature of a character extracted from a memory that associatively stores shape features of characters and impressions.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a storing unit, a receiving unit, and a creation unit. The storing unit stores affective information indicating an impression, and a design element defining designs and conforming to the impression indicated by the affective information, in association with each other. The receiving unit receives object affective information indicating an impression for an object of design creation. In a case where the object affective information is stored in the storing unit, the creation unit creates an output related to design for the object by using a design element associated with the object affective information. In a case where the object affective information is not stored in the storing unit, the creation unit creates the output by performing interpolation using a design element associated with other affective information which is stored in the storing unit and for which a relationship with the object affective information is defined.

Abstract: An information processing system includes a memory portion that stores each scene of image information of a given space captured by an image capturing portion in association with positional information on an object existent in the given space, a receiving portion that receives information that specifies the object as a search request, and a search portion that searches the image information stored in the memory portion for a scene where the object is existent in a given position on the basis of the search request.

Abstract: An information processing system includes a recognition portion that recognizes a document shown in a given space, a detection portion that detects an event occurring in the given space, and an index-giving portion that gives information on the event detected by the detection portion to the information on the document recognized by the recognition portion, as an index for search.

Abstract: An information retrieval system includes an information extracting portion that extracts episodic information to be set as a cue for searching conference record information that stores contents on a conference for personal information, and an information storage portion that stores the episodic information extracted from the information extracting portion and the personal information associated with the episodic information. The personal information of a participant is searched for, personal information being obtained from the conference that a system user attended.

Abstract: An information processing system includes a memory portion that stores image information of a space in association with a document, the image information being captured by an image capturing portion, the document being used while the space being captured, a receiving portion that receives information that specifies the document as a search request, and a search portion that searches the image information stored on the memory portion for a scene associated with the document specified by the search request, on the basis of the search request.

Abstract: There is provided an operation history display apparatus including a reproducing portion reproducing data according to a given operation mode, a timer counting an elapsed time from a start of an operation, and a retaining portion retaining information on a reproduction position in the data reproduced by the reproducing portion, an elapsed time from the start of the operation, and a current operation mode, as operation history information.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes an estimate portion and an append portion. The estimate portion that estimates states of mind of a person with either or both of living body information and sound information of the person acquired at a time of capturing the person, and the append portion that appends an index to image information acquired at the time of capturing the person with the states of mind of the person estimated by the estimate portion.

Abstract: A tape printing apparatus for making printed labels includes a keyboard for entering a character string, a display screen for displaying the character string, a tape cassette printer mechanism for printing the character string on the tape, a tape width detector for detecting the tape width of the tape cassette mounted on the printer mechanism, a first display data generator which generates pattern image data used to define the effective display zone of display screen that is proportional to the detected tape width, and a second display data generator which generates image data of the entered character string based on stored font data so that a print image of the character string in correct proportion to the tape width is displayed in the display zone.

Abstract: After initialization (S1), the cassette signal is retrieved (S2). Then the tape width of the tape in the tape cassette mounted in the tape printer is determined by tape TB1 (S4). The width of the image display zone is calculated using the tape width and using the table TB5 (S7). The data of standard format information is stored in the start address of the text memory (S8). A text input screen is displayed set with the image display zone corresponding to the tape width calculated in S2 for the display. A cursor is also displayed having the size of the display character size, which was determined based on the print character size, which has been calculated using the tape width, the number of lines "1," and the table TB3. Accordingly, it is possible to provide a grasp of the relation between tape width and the situation at which characters will be printed.

Abstract: A wordprocessing device having a keyboard which can input characters having a plurality of attributes. The character string can be modified when output such that all the characters have a common attribute, while the original character string data remains unmodified, stored in a memory, for further use. The modified character string can then be output by a printer onto a recording medium such as a tape.
