Abstract: A task managing device facilitates and assists in execution of tasks relating to an accounting process. The device refers to management information in which task items to be completed are defined. The task items are displayed on a display screen in association with checkboxes which are selectable by a user to input completion of the respective task items. If a checkbox is selected to input completion of the associated task item, the device determines, based on the management information, whether an accounting process task needs to be performed for the completed task item. If the accounting process task needs to be performed, the device switches the display screen to an accounting process screen, and enters past data associated with a predetermined data input item in a past accounting process task in data input regions corresponding to the accounting process task.

Abstract: A task managing device includes a first determining unit which refers to management information in which task items which need to be carried out are defined and determines whether there exists a related task which is associated with a task item which is already carried out and whether the related task corresponds to an accounting process; and a process executing unit which, in a case where it is determined that there exists the related task and that the related task corresponds to the accounting process by the first determining unit, executes the accounting process corresponding to the related task and sets various data relating to the task item which is already carried out defined in the management information in data input regions corresponding to the related task.

Abstract: An image control apparatus which stores in a storage section an image captured in an imaging section, comprising a comparing section which, after changing from a first static image in which an imaging subject is not in motion into a dynamic image in which the imaging subject is in motion and at a time when changing from the dynamic image into a second static image in which an imaging subject is not in motion, compares the first static image and the second static image; and a storage controlling section which controls whether or not to store the second static image in the storage section, in accordance with a comparison result of the comparing section.

Abstract: An information processing device includes a first extracting unit and a creating unit. The first extracting unit compares a first list of a product or service created for a customer before purchase and a second list of a product or service purchased by the customer, and guesses and extracts a product or service which the customer has a potential desire to purchase. The creating unit creates a third list including the extracted product or service.

Abstract: An information reading apparatus of the present invention is an information reading apparatus which photographs an information recording medium having information recorded thereon and reads the information. This information reading apparatus includes a judging section which judges whether the information recording medium is in a two-page spread layout by analyzing a photographed image of the information recording medium, and a dividing section which divides the photographed image of the information recording medium into the pages of a two-page spread when the judging section judges that the information recording medium is in a two-page spread layout.

Abstract: An image output device comprises an image reading unit which reads an image which includes an instruction image, an instruction data analysis unit which analyzes instruction data included in image data read by the image reading unit, a search unit which searches an information resource storage unit in which information resources are stored for an information resource specified by the instruction data, a determination unit which compares the image data read by the image reading unit with a searched information resource searched by the search unit to determine whether or not the read image and the searched information resource are identical, and an image printing unit which prints the searched information resource when the determination unit determines that the read image and the searched information resource are not identical.

Abstract: In a business application program construction system, various basic processing modules constituting a business application program have been prepared beforehand. When an application program is actually constructed, module tiles representing the individual modules are displayed in the form of a module palette. At the same time, a grid panel on which the module tiles are arranged is displayed. The user arranges the module tiles necessary for the business application program on the grid panel by a drag and drop operation using the module palette. Combinations of the module tiles make it easy to construct the components for the business application program.
