This invention has as its object to allow an authentication process that avoids unnecessary information from being stored in a digital camera irrespective of whether or not a digital camera connected to the printer has a direct print function. To this end, in this invention, in an early stage of connection between a digital camera DSC and PD printer, the PD printer side requests an object which contains a keyword as authentication information of those which are stored and held by the DSC (S). As a result, after it is determined the returned information contains authentication information, the printer notifies the DSC of its own authentication information (S).

Printing apparatus and control method thereof, and printing system

A system, method and computer program product for arranging digital data in a file in an apparatus-implemented system, is disclosed. One or more pages are generated, where each page includes: i. a mode field containing a camera operation mode, ii. an image data field containing image data, iii. an offset field containing an offset to a next page in the file, and a total size field containing a page size. Each page is recorded in the file using the same format.

Image recording apparatus, image reproducing apparatus, method of controlling image recording apparatus, method of controlling image reproducing apparatus, computer program, and recording medium, with storing of a plurality of frame images, a plurality of attribute information in EXIF format, and plurality of offset data in one image file

Image recording apparatus, image reproducing apparatus, method of controlling image recording apparatus, method of controlling image reproducing apparatus, computer program, and recording medium

[Object] To provide a therapeutic and/or prophylactic agent for urinary frequency, urinary urgency, and urinary incontinence associated with various lower urinary tract diseases including overactive bladder, various lower urinary tract diseases accompanied by lower urinary tract pain, such as interstitial cystitis, chronic prostatitis, and the like, and various diseases accompanied by pain, based on an excellent trkA receptor inhibitory action. [Means for Solution] A novel azolecarboxamide compound in which a thiazole ring or an oxazole ring is bonded to a benzene ring, a pyridine ring, a pyridazine ring, a thiophene ring, a pyrazole ring or a pyrrole ring through carboxamide, or a salt thereof is confirmed to have a potent trkA receptor inhibitory activity, and found to be capable of being used as a therapeutic and/or prophylactic agent which is excellent in efficacy and safety for urinary frequency, urinary urgency, and urinary incontinence associated with various lower urinary tract diseases including overactive bladder, various lower urinary tract diseases accompanied by lower urinary tract pain, such as interstitial cystitis, chronic prostatitis, and the like, and various diseases accompanied by pain, thereby completing the present invention.

Azolecarboxamide compound or salt thereof

Provided is an agent for treating or preventing urinary frequency, urinary urgency and urinary, incontinence which are associated with overactive bladder, a lower urinary tract disease such as interstitial cystitis and chronic prostatitis accompanied by lower urinary tract pain, and various diseases accompanied by pain. A novel azolecarboxamide derivative in which an azole ring such as thioazole or oxazole is bonded to a benzene ring, pyridine ring or pyrimidine ring through carboxamide was confirmed to have a potent trkA receptor-inhibitory activity and found to be an agent for treating or preventing lower urinary tract disease and various diseases accompanied by pain, which is excellent in efficacy and safety, and thus the present invention was accomplished.

Azolecarboxamide derivative

A control system comprises a plurality of peripheral devices represented as objects, and a controller connectable to the plurality of peripheral devices via a common communication line for unitarily controlling the plurality of peripheral devices. The controller is arranged to be connected to an arbitrary number of peripheral devices selected from among the plurality of peripheral devices, read control information stored in the arbitrary number of peripheral devices via the communication line into a predetermined memory area of the controller in a predetermined format so that the controller can control the arbitrary number of peripheral devices. The controller is also arranged to issue a command and transmit the command to each of the arbitrary number of peripheral devices via the communication line.

System using description information to generate control panel for controlling a network device

In a video system of the invention, control means is provided for a terminal input apparatus which is connected by a communication network of a camera on the partner side and which comprises an image display apparatus having a multiwindow display function for selecting and displaying the camera. An image pickup operation which is required to the camera on the partner side, for example, the image pickup direction, focal distance, panning, exposure amount, white balance, automatic focusing, and the like of the designated camera are inputted by using an image display and a window display of the image display apparatus. The operation of the camera on the partner side and the operations of a tripod, a movable arm, and the like to hold the camera are controlled through communicating means. A photographed image is displayed by the display apparatus.

Video system

This invention completes an authentication procedure early when it is ready to directly communicate with a printer, and serves as a user interface device of a direct print system. To this end, when a digital camera DSC is ready to directly communicate with a printer, and receives from the printer an inquiry about objects stored and held by the camera, it assigns an object which contains a word serving as authentication information of those stored and held in the DSC to a first handler (S), assigns other objects (image data and the like) to subsequent handlers (S), and sends that assignment result to the printer (S).

Direct printing authorization in a digital camera

The present invention provides display that permits a user to grasp time more intuitively. Data associated with respective dates is retrieved and displayed, each set of data being displayed in a display screen that is displayed smaller than that for preceding data in the series (in any temporal direction). Each set of data is displayed inside the preceding set with a smaller display area. Also, a display area may be divided into an area where icons representing data items belonging to one level are displayed, and an area where child levels are displayed. As hierarchical depth increases, the data icons are made smaller and simpler. The hierarchical structure of a file system or database can be displayed as a Venn diagram. Data items belonging to child levels are displayed as reduced images instead of being hidden. A cutout form and image are registered mutually and independently. An identifier, position, and size of the cutout form are specified as attributes of the image, permitting an image to be fetched into album software by performing a simple operation.

Intuitive hierarchical time-series data display method and system

System using icons representative for controlling data input and output relationship between a network of multimedia devices

An object of the present invention is to easily search data from a recording medium on which different types of data items are recorded. A storing apparatus is disclosed, that comprises a signal processing unit for acquiring first type data and second type data and processing them, a serial number assigning unit for sequentially assigning a serial number to the first type data and the second type data processed by the signal processing unit in the acquired order regardless of the first type data or the second type data, and a storing unit for storing the first type data and the second type data corresponding to the serial number.
