  • Publication number: 20130332572
    Abstract: The present technology relates to an information processing apparatus and a method, a program, a recording medium, and an information processing system that realizes a number of variations in functions using a plurality of devices connected to a network. RD-Agent and RD-App are executed in each device, the RD-App is described using RD-Library, and a function of the RD-Agent is called by the RD-Library. The RD-Library is a library for calling the function of the RD-Agent from the RD-App. A service a is provided, to which a plurality of devices having RD-App_a1 and RD-App_a2 in execution participates, and a service b in which the plurality of devices in which RD-App_b1 and RD-App_b2 are executed participates is provided. A service a is provided, to which a plurality of devices having RD-App_a1 and RD-App_a2 in execution participates, and a service b is provided, to which a plurality of devices having RD-App_b1 and RD-App_b2 in execution participates.

  • Patent number: 8412001
    Abstract: In an image processing device, a transfer unit enlarges or reduces the image data at the transfer magnification by performing an enlarging or reducing process on the image data once, when the transfer magnification is equal to or smaller than an upper limit or equal to or greater than a lower limit. The transfer unit also repeats, by a plurality of times, a process of performing an enlarging or reducing process on an image data stored in a first region of a storage unit at a divided-transfer magnification equal to or smaller than the upper limit or equal to or greater than the lower limit and then storing the image data in a second region of the storage unit, when the transfer magnification is above the upper limit or below the lower limit.
