Abstract: A liquid discharge apparatus includes circuitry and a memory. The circuitry generates density correction data corresponding to a reference printing condition, based on reference measurement data on a measurement result of a patch pattern printed under the reference printing condition, to control an image density. The memory stores difference data on a difference between measurement data of one or more printing conditions different from the reference printing condition and the reference measurement data. The circuitry generates density correction data corresponding to the one or more printing conditions different from the reference printing condition, based on the reference measurement data and the difference data stored in the memory.

Abstract: A photographic device which may include a selection portion for selecting a given number of shooting modes matched with shooting conditions from a plurality of shooting modes previously prepared, a display control portion for juxtapositionally displaying images indicating the shooting modes selected by the selection portion, and a shooting control portion for taking photos in a shooting mode indicated by an image which has been selected by a user from the images displayed by the display control portion.

Abstract: A general-purpose computer cross-authenticates an external storage medium which is detachably loaded in the general-purpose computer, directly storing copyrighted data from its internal storage means into the loaded external storage medium. An HDD, an internal storage means of the general-purpose computer, holds such data protected by copyright as music data. A memory card driver directly cross-authenticates a memory card, which is an external storage medium, and, upon successful cross-authentication, controls the memory card so that it stores the data from the HDD.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus having a system body, a body operation unit provided on the system body, and a remote operation unit configured to perform a remote operation of the system body. The information processing apparatus performs processing according to operational information obtained by the body operation unit or the remote operation unit. The information processing apparatus includes a detecting unit to detect the operation performed by the body operation unit and the remote operation performed by the remote operation unit. Power control of each device in the system body is performed according to either a second set state in which power consumption is lower than in a first set state.

Abstract: Executing a desired processing immediately by a simple operation using a jog dial for example.
