Abstract: A recording apparatus includes a recording head having discharge orifices arranged on a discharge orifice surface, a cap, a wiper, and a moving unit that moves the wiper in a first direction. When the cap covers the discharge orifice surface, a first member is disposed at an inside wall of the cap at a position near a first side of a region having the discharge orifices, and a second member is disposed at another inside wall of the cap at a position near a second side of the region having the discharge orifices. The first side faces in a direction opposite to the first direction and the second side faces in the first direction. In a direction normal to the discharge orifice surface, a distance between the second member and the discharge orifice surface is smaller than a distance between the first member and the discharge orifice surface.

Abstract: A system, etc. capable of facilitating communication about a travel in which a plurality of members participate are provided. Based on communication with a first client (2a), a server (1) recognizes a plan which is determined by a departure place, a stopover, a destination, and a route and is about a first group to which a first user belongs. Based on communication with a second client (2b) of a second user belonging to the first group as a belonging-target group registered in a database (14), the second client (2b) is caused to display icons representing the departure place, the stopover, and the destination and the route included in the plan.

Abstract: An authentication and registration system is provided which can reduce a burden at the time of authentication and registration while ensuring security when a single apparatus is used to perform authentication and registration of identification information on another apparatus. In an authentication and registration system (1), an authentication request signal is transmitted from a mobile terminal (3) to a registration server (2). The registration server (2) transmits an operation command signal to the mobile terminal (3) and when the signal is received, a display (3b) of the mobile terminal (3) displays operation sub-commands. When the sub-commands are executed through operations of switches (10) to (20), an on-board controller (4) transmits an operating state signal indicating the execution to the registration server (2). When the operating state signal indicates that the sub-commands are executed, the registration server (2) determines that authentication of the identification information succeeds.

In an authentication and registration system (1), an authentication request signal is transmitted from a mobile terminal (3) to a registration server (2). When two sets of identification information VIN and IMSI received before and after the authentication request signal match each other, the registration server (2) transmits an authentication code signal to an on-board controller (4) so that an authentication code is displayed on a DA apparatus (23).

Abstract: To provide a server, a client, and a system capable of easily sharing conditions of members or mobile bodies which may affect a plan of the group. A server control device 31 communicates with a first client 10 via a server communication device 35 to recognize information concerning a first user or concerning a first mobile body 1. The server control device 31, in a case where the information is information indicating that a condition of the first user or first mobile body 1 is under a specific condition (FIG. 4/STEP 320—YES or FIG. 4/STEP 330—YES), transmits a notification that the condition of the first user or first mobile body 1 is under the specific condition to the second client 20 via the server communication device 35 (FIG. 4/STEP 324 or FIG. 3/STEP 332).

Abstract: A system, etc. that can facilitate sharing of information when a predetermined condition is satisfied is provided. A client (2) includes: an input device (21) that detects an input mode of an own user; a communication device (23) that carries out communication; and a client control device (20) that determines whether or not a first condition set in advance is satisfied and, if the first condition is determined to be satisfied, causes the input device (21) to function as an input interface for sending predetermined first information, which is associated with a predetermined input mode, via the communication device (23) by the predetermined input mode having a smaller number of times of input or a smaller information quantity to be input with respect to the input device (21) than a case in which the first condition is determined to be not satisfied.

Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes a switch having contacts spaced from each other. The contacts are designed to independently establish electric connection. A controller unit is designed to instruct the control on an image on the screen of a display panel in the electronic apparatus when the controller unit sequentially detects the electric connection at at least two of the contacts in a predetermined time period. A sequential detection of electric connection at the contacts within the predetermined time period is utilized to effect the control of the image in the electronic apparatus. Facilitated operations can be achieved to effect the control of the image on the screen. Conventional contacts can be utilized to establish electric connection. The control of the image can be accomplished with a simple structure.
