Abstract: A display control apparatus that enables to reliably and quickly search for a desired image. When a wheel is operated by a user by an amount less than a predetermined operation amount, image feeding is made in a first display mode where a plurality of images are displayed on an image display unit. When the wheel is operated by the user by an amount equal to or greater than the predetermined operation amount, image feeding is made in a second display mode where a larger number of images than in the first display mode are displayed on the image display unit in a smaller size than in the first display mode.

Abstract: A display control apparatus enables a user to easily recognize that a selectable item is present in addition to a displayed item and to recognize without being confused that a target item has been touched. The apparatus is capable of displaying an item group including a plurality of items which are a part of all items, when a touch is detected on any item in the item group displayed on the display unit, displaying the touched item in a selected state, and if release of the touch is detected, and if the selected item is an end item among the displayed group of items but is not an end item among all the items, moving the displayed item among all the items in a direction for displaying an item that is not being displayed in the direction of an end based on the release of the touch.

Abstract: A display control apparatus can receive an instruction to switch selection to a first direction and a second direction, and perform control to, in response to an instruction to switch the selection to the first direction, from among display items included in a succeeding row, select a second display item a position in a second axial direction parallel to the second direction of which is closest to a position in the second axial direction of a first display item that is first selected, and, when a second instruction to switch the selection to the first direction is further issued from a state where the second display item is selected, select a display item a position in the second axial direction of which is closest to the position in the second axial direction of the first display item from among the display items included in a further succeeding row.

Abstract: A manipulator includes an end effector, a support member that supports the end effector, and a fixing member provided to the support member and made of a tube-shaped flexible film with a space therein. In the manipulator, a fluid is supplied to the space of the fixing member to inflate the fixing member so that a flexible cover for covering the end effector is fixed to the support member. Accordingly, cleanness of the end effector is restored.

Abstract: A first information processing apparatus executes an application, and generates control data in accordance with a state of an execution of the application. The control data is transmitted to a second information processing apparatus. Video data is stored in advance in the second information processing apparatus. The second information processing apparatus receives the control data transmitted from the first information processing apparatus, determines a video to be reproduced based on the control data, and reproduces the video based on the video data.

Abstract: An information communication system for use in a robot communicates a full-color light flux between a transmitting device and a receiving device separated from each other. The transmitting device receives a sensor signal to generate an optical information signal including a color signal based on a sensor identifying information and a brightness signal based on an output level of the sensor signal, and irradiates a light flux (an optical signal) enabling a user to recognize it through the optical information signal from a color LED. The receiving device is arranged away from the transmitting device, in which an analysis unit generates an identifying signal and an output level of a sensor on the basis of color information and brightness information extracted from an image processor from image data including the optical information signal imaged by an imaging unit.

Abstract: A robot device, which autonomously performs actions, includes a moving unit that moves the robot device, and a target position acquiring unit that acquires position information of a target. A movement method judging unit receives an instruction for a movement from a user, and judges whether or not a destination can be designated by fixed position information. When it is judged that the destination can be designated by the fixed position information, control is performed by a position movement control unit. When it is judged that the destination cannot be designated by the fixed position information, control is performed by a target movement control unit, which acquires position information from the target position acquiring unit, to operate the moving unit.

Abstract: A robot is autonomously moved locally by a move mechanism. In the robot, a check work memory stores a plurality of check works and check place to execute each check work in case of a user's departure to a remote location. A check work plan unit selects check works to be executed from the check work memory and generates an execution order of selected check works. A control unit controls the move mechanism to move the robot to a check place to execute a selected check work according to the execution order. A work result record unit records an execution result of each of the selected check works. A presentation unit presents the execution result to the user.
