Abstract: An image capturing system including an image capturing apparatus and a head-mount type display device. A smartphone which is the image capturing apparatus generates a live view image and transmits the live view image and operation information associated with an operation performed on the smartphone to a smart glass which is the display device. The smart glass includes a display section and receives the live view image and the operation information from the smartphone. An image generation unit of the smart glass generates a display image to be displayed on the display section, based on the received live view image, and the generated display image is displayed on the display section. The image generation unit changes the display image to be displayed on the display section, according to the received operation information.

Abstract: In an information processing apparatus, a second central processing unit (CICU) uses an alteration detection program stored in a second memory to perform alteration detection on a program to be executed at a time of activation of a first CPU stored in a first memory. In a case where no alteration is detected in the program to be executed at the time of activation, the second CPU activates the first CPU using the program to be executed at the time of activation, and uses the activated first CPU to switch a program to be executed by the second CPU from the alteration detection program stored in the second memory to another processing program stored in the first memory.

Abstract: There is provided a mechanism of preferentially using a memory layer which suffers a small influence of heat of an SOC die, based on the positional relationship between the SOC die and the memory layer, and decreasing the refresh frequency of the DRAM and a leakage current. To accomplish this, an information processing apparatus allocates, in order to execute an accepted job, a memory area for executing the job preferentially from a memory physically farthest from the SOC die among a plurality of memories, and then executes the job.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the present invention comprise a first provider adapted to provide a first user interface configured to receive an input about an instruction about an operation of an apparatus, the first user interface being provided in a first direction; a second provider adapted to provide a second user interface in conjunction with the first user interface, the second user interface being provided in a second direction; and an informer adapted to provide a status of the operation via the second user interface when the operation is performed.

Abstract: Provided is an image processing apparatus that reduces the processing time taken to encode image data that has been divided into blocks, as well as suppresses a reduction in image quality. To accomplish this, among block images obtained by dividing the image into blocks, the image processing apparatus executes encoding processing using a first method with priority on important block images such as those including thin lines or characters. Furthermore, the image processing apparatus executes encoding processing using a second method if the encoded data amount of blocks that have been encoded becomes greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: In order to build a convenient printing environment which can meet various needs associated with double-sided printing (e.g., a reduction of the load on the operator) from users upon double-sided printing and can cope with the POD environment, a user request associated with a double-sided printing job to be executed by a printing system which includes a printing apparatus that can execute a double-sided printing operation is accepted from the user via a user interface unit. When the user request accepted via the user interface unit is a specific user request, the printing apparatus is controlled to execute a series of double-sided printing operations using a function of adjusting a printing position of data to be printed on one of first side and second side of a printing medium in the double-sided printing job to be processed.

Abstract: A printing system capable of executing printing using printing medias of different types is provided. In the system, a first designation unit designates a paper type used to print a first page group in a document. A selection unit selects paper types which can be used to print the second page group in the document from paper types available in the system based on the designated paper type. A second designation unit designates a paper type used to print the second page group from the selected paper types. Then, a printing unit prints the first page group on paper sheets of the type designated by the first designation unit, and prints the second page group on paper sheets of the type designated by the second designation unit.

Abstract: When printing is interrupted, the selection between the use of a sheet bundle stacked on an accumulating tray and no use thereof is appropriately made. A bookbinding system includes a bookbinding apparatus having the accumulating tray for stacking a plurality of printed sheets thereon as the sheet bundle. When an interrupting factor is generated for interrupting a printing job, the printing is interrupted. Upon restarting the printing after the interrupting factor is cancelled, the printing apparatus determines whether the sheet bundle stacked on the accumulating tray is used for forming a bound book or not.
