Publication number: 20240114578Abstract: A communication device comprises a first and second communication circuits capable of establishing a connection with an external device conforming to a first and second communication standards, respectively. The device further comprises a storage device stores information about external device(s) registered in an application that uses communication with an external device. The device, when a reconnection request is received from an external device through the first communication circuit or the second communication circuit, outputs a warning if a registration of the external device in the application has been deleted. It is determined whether the registration of the external device in the application has been deleted based on identification information of the external device. The identification information is obtained through different procedures depending on through which of the first and second communication circuits the reconnection request has been received.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 18, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventor: SOSUKE KAGAYA

Patent number: 9319579Abstract: An image processing apparatus generates an image data in which a focus state of a captured image is specified by calculation processing. An operation inputting unit is used for operating focus information for specifying the focus state of an image, and an image generating unit generates an image data by acquiring focus information. When image focus information is changed by specification made by a user, the image generating unit outputs the image data generated by using focus information prior to specification to a confirmation screen generating unit upon deletion operation of the image data. The confirmation screen generation unit generates a display data of a deletion confirmation screen for prompting a user to confirm deletion upon deletion operation of an image file. The display data of a deletion confirmation screen includes the image data generated by using focus information differing from the changed focus state.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2013Date of Patent: April 19, 2016Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Sosuke Kagaya
