An information processing system includes an information processing device, a display apparatus, and an operation detecting device. The control circuit allocates (N&#x2212;1) or more mutually different attributes to respective axes of a (N&#x2212;1)-dimensional space, generates a graph plotting the plurality pieces of stored data on the (N&#x2212;1)-dimensional space as respective points corresponding to the plurality pieces of data, classifies the plurality pieces of plotted data into groups using another one attribute other than the (N&#x2212;1) or more attributes; and processes the plurality of points so as to be identified by the group. The display apparatus displays the graph processed by the control circuit. The operation detecting device detects an action performed by a user. The control circuit moves, rotates, zooms in, and zooms out the graph displayed on the display apparatus depending on the user's action detected by the operation detecting device.

Provided are an electronic device, an information management program, and an information management method that help reduce the amount of memory for job information. An MFP (electronic device) has a job information generating device which generates, for each job executed by application software, job information including settings used by the application software that executes the job, and an access managing device which manages, when the job is executed, access to the job information from the application software. The job information generating device duplicates general job information including general setting items to generate preliminary job information, accepts, for the job, values for setting items included in the preliminary job information, and then generates the job information such that it includes, out of settings included in the preliminary job information, only settings used by the application software.

Electronic device including a job information generating device and access managing device, information management method to enable the electronic device to function, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium to store a program for the information management method

Provided is an article information providing apparatus that includes a display circuit, an imaging circuit, an object recognizing circuit, and an article discriminating circuit. The display circuit displays an article information image in which article information is shown. The imaging circuit images real space. The object recognizing circuit recognizes the object imaged by the imaging circuit. The article discriminating circuit discriminates the article from the object recognized by the object recognizing circuit and displays the article information image on the display circuit based on the state of the discriminated article. In addition, the article discriminating circuit displays the article information image on the display circuit when a dynamic state change of the discriminated article is identified.

A cue point control apparatus used for capturing a display apparatus includes a control unit and a motion detecting unit. The control unit sets a marker while capturing, as a moving image, a presentation performed with displaying an image on a screen of the display apparatus. The motion detecting unit detects a motion of a user performing the presentation. When the control unit determines a set first motion of the user for the marker setting by the detected motion, the control unit sets a temporal marker in a frame of the moving image at a time when determining the first motion during the capturing.
