Provided is an information processing device, which is configured to inhibit an unintended operation of a user from being erroneously detected when a flick operation is performed on a curved touch panel. An operation content including a direction of a flick performed with a finger on a curved front surface of a touch panel is detected, and a curvature ratio of the front surface corresponding to the detected direction is acquired. Further, a flick threshold value using a curvature ratio as a parameter is determined, and characteristics of the detected operation content are quantified as a flick score. Then, through comparison between the flick threshold value and the flick score, it is judged whether or not a touch operation is the flick operation.

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

An apparatus designs an animation expressing a transition of display forms of an object. A reception unit receives an operation for setting key frames in the animation at one or more time points on a time axis displayed on a screen, the time axis corresponding to the animation, and instructs a display form of the object at each of the set key frames. The reception unit receives, in a state when one or more key frames are set on the time axis and a display form of the object is instructed at each of the set key frames, an instruction for reflecting a display form of the object instructed to a first key frame of an already set one or more key frames as a display form of the object at a second key frame set on the time axis. A display control unit displays indicators representing the key frames.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and storage medium

An information processing apparatus includes a storage unit configured to store information representing a plurality of screens in each of a plurality of groups to which priorities are previously set, a determination unit configured to determine a group which is assigned the highest priority, and a control unit configured to display on a display unit a representative screen of the group assigned the highest priority.

A split gate type nonvolatile semiconductor memory device having a FinFET structure includes a semiconductor substrate, parallel trenches on a surface of the semiconductor substrate, and select and memory gate electrodes perpendicular to the trenches. While either the select or the memory gate electrodes are formed prior to the other gate electrodes, each remaining gate electrode is formed adjacent to a side wall of each of the gate electrodes. The semiconductor memory device includes source/drain regions each formed between each pair of the select gate electrodes and between each pair of the memory gate electrodes in protruding portions between each pair of the trenches. A difference between heights of the select gate electrodes and the memory gate electrodes is equal to or greater than a difference between heights of insulation layers formed on the bottom of each of the trenches and the source/drain regions.

When registering speech onto an object, an information processing apparatus selects identification information from an identification information database and stores information including the object, speech for registration, and the selected identification information in a registration database. When a user performs a speech call, the information processing apparatus outputs identification information that is included in the information called by the user.

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 includes a first display control unit configured to display information on a display screen, a detection unit configured to detect the operation direction and an operation amount of a direction inputting operation, a scroll control unit configured to scroll the information displayed on the display screen in the operation direction detected by the detection unit, and a second display control unit configured to control the display of information so that the higher the operation amount detected by the detection unit, the wider a display area becomes in the operation direction detected by the detection unit.

Information processing apparatus and information processing method

A speech processing apparatus includes a speech input device which inputs speech, a connection unit which detachably connects the speech input device, a speech recognizer which recognizes speech input by the speech input device through the connection unit, and a monitor which monitors the connection state of the speech input device at the connection unit, and when the connection state changes, outputs an event for notifying the change. The speech recognizer suspends speech recognition processing upon receiving the event from the monitor.

In an interactive process using speech recognition together with a graphical user interface comprising a plurality of settable graphical user interface items, the recognition rate is improved by reducing recognition target vocabulary. A settable graphical user interface item not displayed on the display screen is detected, and the received speech information is recognized using a speech recognition grammar corresponding to the detected item, and data is set to the item using the recognition result.
