A device control apparatus includes at least one processor executing a program stored in at least one memory. The at least one processor determines whether a predetermined condition related to a simulated growth degree of a device is satisfied, acquires external stimulus data representing an external stimulus externally applied to the device, changes and sets basic character data according to a first condition based on the acquired external stimulus data in a case where the predetermined condition is not satisfied, corrects the basic character data according to a second condition, different from the first condition and based on the acquired external stimulus data, to obtain character data in a case where the predetermined condition is satisfied, controls a movement of the device according to the basic character data in the case where the predetermined condition is not satisfied, and controls a movement of the device according to the character data obtained by the correction in the case where the predetermined condition is satisfied.

An apparatus control device includes: at least one processor; and at least one first memory that stores a program executed by the processor, in which the processor acquires input data based on at least one of acceleration and angular velocity generated by application of an external force to an apparatus, classifies a plurality of the acquired input data into a plurality of clusters by an unsupervised clustering method, acquires relationship data representing relationship between the acquired input data and the plurality of classified clusters, and controls movement of the apparatus based on the acquired relationship data.

Apparatus control device, apparatus, apparatus control method, and storage medium

A printing apparatus includes a print head, a first cutter and a processor. The print head performs printing on a printing medium. The first cutter cuts the printing medium on which the print head has performed the printing. The first cutter trims away a corner at an end in a width direction of the printing medium. The processor controls the print head and the first cutter based on cutting information on an area to be trimmed by the first cutter so that a printing area of the printing medium is not cut by the first cutter.

Printing apparatus, printing method and computer-readable medium

A printer includes a processor; a thermal head driver circuit that drives a thermal head for printing on a printing medium; a motor driver circuit that drives a motor configured to convey the printing medium; and a power supply circuit that includes a capacitor and a first switching circuit to charge the capacitor, the power supply circuit supplying electrical power to the thermal head driver circuit and the motor driver circuit via the capacitor, wherein the processor, when stopping operation of the printer, performs a control process of discharging the capacitor via the motor driver circuit and the motor.

Printer, method of controlling printer, and storage medium

The book page turning operation of an automatic page turning apparatus is controlled by a tablet. Every time the automatic page turning apparatus completes a page turning operation, the tablet photographs the page and stores its image. During this processing, the tablet stops the series of page turning operations of the automatic page turning apparatus every time a sequential page-turning count m reaches a preset interruption page count M. Then, the tablet restarts the series of page turning operations in response to a photographing restart instruction from the user. As a result of this configuration, the user is freed from an operation of stopping a page turning operation during image photographing.

Apparatus for controlling page turning, method for same and storage medium

A plurality of captured images having a successive relation is displayed on a display screen with the successive relation being maintained. Then, when the plurality of captured images include a plurality of first captured images acquired by a plurality of successive photographing operations and a second captured image acquired by an individual photographing operation different from the plurality of successive photographing operations, the second captured image is displayed such that it is differentiated from the plurality of first captured images by, for example, the background area of the second captured image being represented in a display form different from that of another area.

Display control apparatus, display control method and storage medium

An apparatus which turns a page of an open book includes a tuning mechanism, a drive unit and a control unit. The turning mechanism brings a predetermined member into contact with a page at a departure position and separates the page from the predetermined member at a destination position. The page is moved with the predetermined member. The drive unit drives the turning mechanism to make the predetermined member perform a to-and-fro movement between the departure position and the destination position. The control unit which controls the drive unit to temporarily stop the movement of the predetermined member on a way to the destination position from the departure position.

Apparatus for turning page and method for turning page

An image processing apparatus includes a first correction amount acquiring unit and a first correction unit. The first correction amount acquiring unit acquires a first luminance correction amount of each block based on the luminance of each pixel in the block obtained by dividing a first image among multiple processing target images obtained by imaging a target object with multiple sheets bound together while opening the target object. The first correction unit corrects the luminance of each pixel in the multiple processing target images based on the first luminance correction amount of each block acquired by the first correction amount acquiring unit.
