An information processing apparatus is configured to transmit transmission target data to another information processing apparatus. The information processing apparatus includes a display control unit configured to display at least one object corresponding to the transmission target data together with a live view image on a display screen, and a receiving unit configured to receive an association operation for associating any one of the objects with any one of photographic subjects included in the live view image on the display screen. The information processing apparatus includes an identifying unit configured to identify another information processing apparatus associated beforehand with the photographic subject to be subjected to the association operation received by the receiving unit as a transmission destination to which the transmission target data corresponding to the object associated with the photographic subject is transmitted.

Information processing apparatus which cooperate with other apparatus, and method for controlling the same

A reading apparatus reads an object placed faceup on a reading plate by using an imaging unit attached above the reading plate, and determines whether a user has reversed the read object by using information about the read object. If the read object is determined to have been reversed, the reading apparatus reads the reversed object by using the imaging unit and associates respective pieces of data of the two read objects with each other.

Reading apparatus, method of controlling the same and storage medium

An information processing apparatus having the action modes, including an operating mode for performing an operation on the apparatus and an explaining mode for presenting an explanation corresponding to the operation on the apparatus presents the explanation for an operation input made in the explaining mode and stores the operation input. And it makes a movement from the explaining mode to the operating mode as well as executes the action according to the operation input stored in storage unit in accordance with a preset first operation input.

Information processing method and apparatus

There is provided an information processing apparatus which allows a user interface implemented in a description language such as XML or the like to re-use a widget. A user interface description document can describe a command to allocate a widget with reference to a widget description document that describes the definition of the widget of the user interface. When the user interface description document describes the command, the information processing apparatus refers to the widget description document and generates structured data which expresses the contents that integrate the user interface description document and widget description document. The apparatus displays the user interface based on the generated structured data, and executes an operation in response to an input event from the user.

Information processing apparatus and user interface control method

An information processing apparatus detects an error which occurred in a system and stores a system status that the error occurred in association with error information indicating the error. The information processing apparatus outputs guidance information according to a system status, a system status stored in the storage unit, and error information.

Information processing apparatus and information processing method

In a multimodal input method, input information input from at least two input sources is received, control of the recognition of input from a second input source is performed based on the number of inputs from a first input source, and a recognition result is output.

Multimodal input method

This invention has as its object to save labor time required for correction and adjustments when an error has occurred during either the recognition of input data or the process of the recognition result of an information processing apparatus which recognizes input data and outputs the recognition result. The information processing method described in this embodiment includes a recording step of recording input data (step S), a recognition step of recognizing the input data (step S), a determination step of determining whether or not the input data can be recognized in the recognition step (step S), and an output step of outputting, when it is determined in the determination step that the input data can be recognized, data generated based on a recognition result in the recognition step (step S), and outputting, when it is determined in the determination step that the input data cannot be recognized, output data generated based on the input data which is recorded in the recording step (step S).
