Pelvic floor muscle strength measure device

An image processing apparatus that is capable of preventing an additional image from being arranged at a position that overruns from a displayed base image when a user carelessly designates such a position. The image processing apparatus including an instruction unit that instructs a composition position by a user's operation at which an additional image selected by a user is combined with a base image displayed on a display, and a controller that controls so as to combine the additional image with the base image at a composition position instructed by the instruction unit. When the composition position where at least a part of the additional image overruns from the base image is instructed by the instruction unit, the controller changes the composition position so that the additional image will fit into the base image and combines the additional image at the changed composition position.

Image processing apparatus, method, and control program product that combines additional image to fit into base image and changes position in case overrun of base image

A display control apparatus includes a touch detecting unitconfigured to detect a touch operation on a display screen, and a control unitconfigured to, in response to a touch operation on an unspecified region of the display screen, display a predetermined item at a position corresponding to the touch operation on the first region, and in response to a touch operation on a specified region of the display screen which overlays the first region, display a plurality of options selectable by a touch operation in the specified region. In a case where a touch operation on the specified region is detected while the plurality of options are not displayed in the specified region, the control unitcontrols to display the plurality of options in the second region.

Display control apparatus and control method for the display control apparatus

An image reproducing apparatus that is capable of easily reproducing image data intended for viewing. A read-out unit reads out a plurality of images recorded in a recording medium. A control unit determines target images among the plurality of images based on a reference date. The control unit specifies a shooting date on which a predetermined number or greater number of images were taken around the reference date and determines images taken on the specified shooting date as the target images.

Image reproducing apparatus that selects image from multiple images and reproduces same, method of controlling image reproducing apparatus, and storage medium

A communication device that participates in a network includes a storing control unit that stores images, a search unit that searches for a predetermined external device from the network, a transmission unit that transmits stored images to the external device via the network, a determination unit that determines the frequency of participation in the network, and a changing unit that changes the time for searching for the external device according to determination results of the determination unit.

Communication device for searching for predetermined external device from network, communication device control method, and recording medium

Information on one or more networks in which a communication apparatus has participated before and information on one or more external apparatuses to which the communication apparatus has been connected before are held. Information on a first network previously formed by the communication device and information on a second network previously formed by an external access point are held such that the information on the first network and the information on the second network are identifiable. If it is judged that there is not a network corresponding to the held information on the second network, it is determined to use a network based on the held information on the first network.

Communication apparatus, method for controlling the same, and computer-readable recording medium

Disclosed is a technique for allowing proper classification information to be provided to an edited image. When it is determined that the editing is cropping, a system controller cuts a decompressed image down to a desired size using an image processor and performs face detection on a crop image. The system controller generates a header for image data of an edited image. When the setting of automatically providing classification information is 'ON', classification information is automatically provided based on the detected face information.

Image pickup apparatus and image pickup method

In a communication apparatus to which a recording medium is attachable, a display unit displays, in a case where a recording medium attached to the communication apparatus includes a wireless communication function not included in a wireless communication unit in the communication apparatus, an item related to a wireless communication function included in the wireless communication unit in the communication apparatus and an item related to a wireless communication function not included in the wireless communication unit in the communication apparatus from among wireless communication functions included in the recording medium.

Communication apparatus, control method therefor, and storage medium

An electronic device using a removable recording medium detects the operational mode supported by the recording medium when the attached recording medium has a communication function, and displays a menu with an item corresponding to the operational mode. When the item corresponding to the operational mode is selected from the menu, the electronic device communicates with an external device using the communication protocol corresponding to the selected item. When a recording medium with a communication function is attached, the electronic device enables commanding wireless communication with a target device with a simple operation and without knowing what communication protocol is used.

Electronic device and control method therefor

An optical device is provided and includes a substrate having a three-dimensionally random concave-convex shape on the surface thereof, and a hard coat layer formed on the substrate, wherein a projection height with the maximum frequency on the substrate surface falls within the range of 1.5 &#x3bc;m or more and not more than 10 &#x3bc;m. Projections larger than the projection height with the maximum frequency on the substrate surface have a height falling within +3 &#x3bc;m from a central value of the projection height with the maximum frequency. A length RSm in a lateral direction of concaves and convexes on the substrate surface is 55 &#x3bc;m or more and not more than 500 &#x3bc;m.

Optical device, method for manufacturing the same and display device

An optical element includes a substrate including protruding structures on the surface and a hard coat layer formed on the substrate. An irregular shape is formed by the structures. An irregular shape resembling the irregular shape of the substrate is formed on a surface of the hard coat layer and is smoother than the that of the substrate. The size of bottoms of the structures changes at random within the range of the minimum distance Rm to the maximum distance RM (Rm: minimum value of the shortest distance from the center of gravity of the bottom of the structure to the rim of the bottom, RM: maximum value of the longest distance from the center of gravity of the bottom of the structure to the rim of the bottom). Neighboring structures have bottoms in contact or substantially in contact with one another. Rm and RM satisfy Rm/RM&#x2266;0.9.
