A touch panel device includes a touch detection unit, a touch determination unit, and an instruction acceptance unit. The touch detection unit is configured to detect simultaneous touches on a plurality of points on a display. The touch determination unit is configured to determine whether the simultaneous touches that have been detected include a valid touch or an invalid touch. The instruction acceptance unit is configured to ignore the invalid touch and accept an instruction based on the valid touch.

Touch panel device and touch panel control program for ignoring invalid touch

A printing system includes a plurality of loading units, and a registration management unit configured to display on a display screen a registration screen for receiving registration of attributes of printing media loaded in the loading unit. The registration management unit is configured to arrange selection elements corresponding to unregistered loading units so as to be selectable on the registration screen, and is configured to arrange on the registration screen registration elements for registering the attributes of the printing media loaded in the loading unit corresponding to a selected selection element.

Printing system displaying registration screen for registration of attributes of printing media

A printing device for implementing printing on a medium includes a detection unit and a control unit. The detection unit is configured to detect loading of the medium into the printing device and withdrawal of the medium from the printing device. The control unit is configured to indicate contents displayed on a display screen. The control unit is further configured to generate a first signal of displaying a first screen on the display screen when the detection unit detects that the medium has been withdrawn from the printing device, and generate a second signal of displaying a second screen different from the first screen on the display screen when the detection unit detects that the medium has been loaded into the printing device.

Printing device for generating display signals

A printer includes a printing unit, a plurality of paper feeding units, a storage unit and a control unit. The printing unit is configured and arranged to execute printing based on a printing job. The paper feeding units are configured and arranged to supply paper to the printing unit. The storage unit is configured and arranged to correlate and store the paper feeding units and attributes of the paper held in the paper supply units. The control unit is configured to compare the attributes of the paper correlated with the paper feeding units with attributes of the paper specified with a printing job, and when there is no paper feeding unit for which the attributes correlated therewith is consistent with the attributes specified with the printing job, to display on a screen one of the paper feeding units in which to place the paper specified with the printing job.

Printer and printer control method

A printer includes a display unit, a printing unit and a printing control unit. The display unit is configured and arranged to display a paper registration screen for registering or confirming attributes of paper held in a paper feeding unit when display conditions have been satisfied. The printing unit is configured and arranged to execute printing. The printing control unit is configured to, when prescribed printing start conditions are satisfied during a period in which the paper registration screen is being displayed, control the printing unit to start printing job using the attributes registered before display of the paper registration screen as the attributes of the paper held in the paper feeding unit used with the printing job.

A printer includes a printing unit, a paper feeding unit, a display unit and a control unit. The printing unit is configured and arranged to execute printing. The paper feeding unit is configured and arranged to hold paper. The display unit is configured and arranged to display a paper registration screen for registering or confirming attributes of the paper according to an operation on the paper feeding unit. The control unit is configured not to display the paper registration screen when non-display conditions have been satisfied even when the operation is performed.

Disclosed herein is a device for processing a moving image, the device including: a selection unit which selects an image group composed of a plurality of still images including a target image from the moving image, according to specified information for specifying the target image among the plurality of still images included in the moving image; an acquisition unit which performs an acquisition process of acquiring the plurality of still images included in the image group from the moving image; and a synthesis unit which performs a synthesis process of synthesizing the plurality of acquired still images and generating a high-resolution image of the target image having a pixel density higher than that of the target image, wherein the selection unit has a function for performing selection by a first mode for selecting the target image and a still image which is located behind the target image in time-series order.

Device, method and program for processing image

Information that is transferred through a bus BUS(conforming to IEEE 1394) is downloaded into a rewrite area storing device information (such as GUID or config ROM) and data transfer control program information (such as a SBP-2 firmware program), and rewriter processing is performed to write the information into the rewrite area. When it is detected that no device is connected to a bus BUS(conforming to ATA/ATAPI or IDE), the rewriter processing starts. The detection of whether or not a device is connected to BUSis based on the result of an access to a register of the device. In a download mode, the information is written into the rewrite area by transferring data to and from a PC connected to BUS

Data transfer control device, electronic instrument, program and method of fabricating electronic instrument

A data transfer control system receives a command packet ORB transferred through a bus BUS(IEEE 1394), issues a command indicated by ORB to a device connected to a bus BUS(ATA (IDE)/ATAPI), and orders start of a DMA transfer. The command issued based on ORB is aborted after the completion of the DMA transfer. The data transfer control system compares contents of a command packet ORBtransferred before a bus reset with contents of a command packet ORBtransferred after the bus reset. If the contents are different, a command issued based on ORBis aborted after completion of a DMA transfer. Dummy data is transferred between the data transfer control system and the device connected to the bus BUSuntil a DMA transfer is completed. Dummy data transfer is controlled by performing a dummy update on a pointer.

Data transfer control system, electronic instrument, program, and data transfer control method

A data transfer control system receives a command packet ORB (SBP-2) transferred through a bus BUS(IEEE1394), and issues a command included in the ORB to a device connected with a bus BUS(ATA (IDE)/ATAPI). The data transfer control system sets a sufficiently large fixed DMA data length irrespective of the type of the issued command, and instructs start of DMA transfer to or from the device connected with the bus BUS. The data transfer control system aborts the DMA transfer when a device connected with BUSinforms of completion of command processing. As the fixed DMA data length, a value greater than a storage capacity of a storage or a value greater than a data length which can be designated by a command is employed. The data transfer control system issues a command included in the ORB to a device connected with the bus BUSwithout decoding the command.
