  • Publication number: 20240114578
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11206357
    Abstract: A shooting control apparatus obtains image data from an imaging unit that obtains the image data based on light from an imaging optical system and then detects an object and an orientation of the detected object from the image data. The apparatus controls a shooting direction of the imaging unit by controlling rotational driving of the imaging unit so that a position of the object in a field of view of the imaging unit changes based on the orientation of the object. The apparatus controls the shooting direction, in a case where the object faces in a first direction, so that a distance between an edge of the field of view on a first direction side and the object to be greater than a distance therebetween in a case where the object faces forward.

  • Patent number: 9319579
    Abstract: 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.
