20080298683 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD - An object is designated as a designated object. Two or more image data items containing objects each being different from the designated object by an amount smaller than or equal to a first predetermined value are selected from among a specific image data item group. The selected two or more image data items are displayed in two or more display regions provided on a display unit. The objects each being different from the designated object by the amount smaller than or equal to the first predetermined value are defined as main objects, the two or more image data items are adjusted such that differences in position and size of the main objects in the display regions between the two or more image data items are made smaller than or equal to a second predetermined value, and the adjusted two or more image data items are displayed. | 12-04-2008 |
20090199117 | CONTENTS DISPLAY APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - A contents display apparatus, which stores display schedule information indicating display schedules of a plurality of contents so as to sequentially display the plurality of contents, and displays contents on a display according to the display schedule information, receives a user operation associated with the display while a content is displayed, determines, with reference to metadata of respective contents, a content which is related to the content displayed when the user operation is received, and changes the display schedule information by changing the display schedule of the content determined as a related content. | 08-06-2009 |
20090259952 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING SAME - UI widget content includes reference information by which its own UI widget refers to a child UI widget, and a description of an initial-focus designation for designating which of its own UI widget and child UI widget will have initial focus. A self-UI widget is generated, a child UI widget associated with the self-UI widget is generated based upon the reference information, and a UI widget hierarchy is thus built. A path is followed from a root of the UI widget hierarchy to a child UI widget designated by the corresponding initial-focus designation information. When a UI widget for which a child UI widget has not been designated in the corresponding reference information is retrieved, it is determined that this UI widget is the UI widget having the initial focus. | 10-15-2009 |
20100008570 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD - In order to prevent an image print and/or an image view from being visually monotonous, if it is determined that there is a similarity between similarity determination target images arranged in a specific area in an album, image processing is performed upon both or either of these similarity determination target images so as to eliminate the similarity between these similarity determination target images. | 01-14-2010 |
20100125787 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, PROCESSING METHOD THEREOF, AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - An information processing apparatus inputs a coordinate value of a position designated on a screen which displays one or a plurality of objects, compares an input locus expressed by the input coordinate value string with a second locus, which is defined in advance as a locus used to give the instruction to execute a process for an object, and determines whether the input locus is a first locus or the second locus. When it is determined that the input locus is the first locus, the apparatus selects an object from the one or plurality of objects based on the display positions of the input locus and the object on the screen. When it is determined that the input locus is the second locus, the apparatus executes a process designated by the input locus with respect to the selected object. | 05-20-2010 |
20110175927 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD OF OPERATION THEREOF AND STORAGE MEDIUM - The processing time including that for the process of expanding vector data representing each of a plurality of objects constituting an image into each object is acquired. The time taken to reproduce the image by using the vector data representing each of the plurality of objects is specified based on the acquired processing time. When the specified time exceeds a predetermined threshold, data, of the vector data representing the plurality of objects, which is to be converted into data in a raster format in advance is determined based on each acquired processing time, the specified time, and the predetermined threshold. | 07-21-2011 |
20120030615 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS CONTROL METHOD - In order to efficiently determine a screen to be displayed when the operation mode is changed, an information processing apparatus is provided that is configured to display a user interface (UI) screen on a display unit, and includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire data that includes a plurality of groups to which a priority level corresponding to each of a plurality of modes is set and at least one UI screen is classified into each of the plurality of groups, a storage unit configured to store the at least one UI screen classified into at least one group among the plurality of groups, an identification unit configured to identify a mode, and a display control unit configured to cause the display unit to display a UI screen that is representative of a group having a highest priority level for the mode identified. | 02-02-2012 |
20130215022 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, PROCESSING METHOD THEREOF, AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - An information processing apparatus inputs a coordinate value of a position designated on a screen which displays one or a plurality of objects, compares an input locus expressed by the input coordinate value string with a second locus, which is defined in advance as a locus used to give the instruction to execute a process for an object, and determines whether the input locus is a first locus or the second locus. When it is determined that the input locus is the first locus, the apparatus selects an object from the one or plurality of objects based on the display positions of the input locus and the object on the screen. When it is determined that the input locus is the second locus, the apparatus executes a process designated by the input locus with respect to the selected object. | 08-22-2013 |
