  • Patent number: 10477112
    Abstract: A display control apparatus that is capable of improving a feeling of an operation that moves a partial area cropped from an output image. A cropping unit crops an image in a partial cropping area from an output image. A scaling unit generates an unevenly scaled image by scaling the output image or the cropped image in one direction. A switching unit switches between display of an unscaled image and display of the unevenly scaled image when the cropped image is displayed on a display unit. A control unit moves the cropping area to the output image in the direction by a moving amount per a single operation for moving the cropping area in the direction when the unscaled image is displayed, and moves the cropping area in the direction by a different moving amount per the single operation when the unevenly scaled image is displayed.

  • Patent number: 9298743
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a division unit which divides an original moving image into a plurality of uploading moving images, an uploading unit which uploads the plurality of uploading moving image onto an external apparatus in descending order of reproduction time sequence, an acquisition unit which acquires, from the external apparatus, sequel notice information including information about where an uploading moving image exists, and an addition unit which adds the acquired sequel notice information to an uploading moving image. Furthermore, the uploading unit uploads the uploading moving image, to which the sequel notice information is added, onto the external apparatus.

  • Patent number: 8351071
    Abstract: A print control apparatus enables a user to select an arbitrary print mechanism among a plurality of print mechanisms of a print apparatus. To this end, the print control apparatus can display a screen showing two or more print mechanisms usable in the print apparatus. The print control apparatus can determine an optimum print mechanism based on image contents and print conditions.
