There is provided an information processing apparatus including a display control unit that displays a list screen of thumbnails associated with content, an execution unit that executes any application using the content associated with the thumbnails, and an image generation unit that generates an execution state image showing an execution state of the application by the execution unit, wherein the display control unit displays the execution state image generated by the image generation unit in at least a portion of an area where the list screen is displayed.

Information processing apparatus display control method and program

There is provided an apparatus including: a preference information generation unit for generating preference information; a status determination unit for determining a status of an operation application based on a change in the status of the operation application having a first status for displaying a first operation screen on which registered applications can be selectively executed and a second status for displaying a second operation screen on which display information attracting a user is selectively displayed; a display control unit for selectively displaying the first operation screen and the second operation screen on a display screen based on a determination result; a display information displaying control unit for displaying the display information on the second operation screen based on a determination result; and a processing unit for performing a processing corresponding to an application selected on the first operation screen or display information selected on the second operation screen.

Information processing apparatus and information processing system to display information based on status of application

A time clock, capable of outputting a datum to an USB memoryconnected thereto, includes a controller authenticating whether or not the USB memoryis valid an external apparatus as an output destination to which the datum is output, and determining whether or not the datum is output on the basis of the authentication result. Further, the controllerauthenticates an external apparatus on the basis of an authentication datum stored in the USB memory. The controllerperforms the authentication on the basis of an identification datum of the time clock and an identification datum included in the authentication datum stored in the external apparatus.

Time clock

Information processing apparatus, display control method and program

A start date and an end date of a daylight saving time input by a user is stored in the daylight saving time information storage unit (). The radio-controlled adjustment section () generates a time to adjust the time which the clocking unit () is clocking, by daylight saving time information and a standard time received via an antenna (AT) and a reception circuit (), and adjusts the time of the clocking unit () by use of the generated time. Here, the daylight saving time determination unit () references to the daylight saving time period stored in the daylight saving time information storage unit (), and adjusts the time of the clocking unit () so that the time becomes one which corresponds to the user-set daylight saving time.

Radio-controlled adjustment timepiece

An information processing apparatus includes a program information display controller configured to display recommendation information which relates to a recorded program, which is obtained in advance, and which is introduced in the program, and configured to display, when the recommendation information is searchable by web searching, a notification describing that the recommendation information is searchable by the web searching along with the recommendation information, and a search display controller configured to determine at least one search site in accordance with a type of the recommendation information when a user selects the searchable recommendation information and display a search dialog including the determined at least one search site as at least one candidate.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method and program

The code extraction unit extracts time information from a time signal. The block determination unit determines whether the extracted time information is correct by each kind of the time information. The time information collection unit collects time information determined as correct. The time information determination unit performs logic check of the collected time information, and determines whether correct information is collected for all kinds of the time information, and if not collected, stores time information determined as logically correct in a temporary storage unit. If correct information is not collected for all kinds in the time information collection unit, a time information modification unit updates the time information in the time information collection unit by the time information stored in the temporary storage unit. If correct information is collected for all kinds of the time information, the time information determination unit corrects time information retained in a timekeeping unit.

Radio wave correction clock

A wave correction clock of the present invention receives a wave signal including time information based on information defined by a pulse width of a rectangular pulse output at a predetermined period, and a period measuring section measures a signal period TRn of the rectangular pulse. A time difference measuring section obtains a time difference between the signal period TRn and an internal reference period TB where the signal period TRn is within a predetermined range, and a time difference determining section corrects generation timing of a reference pulse at the internal reference period TB from an average value of time differences obtained when the rectangular pulse where the signal period TRn is within a predetermined range is detected multiple times.

Wave correction clock and method

An impact printing apparatus is also disclosed with printing pin actuation timing correction dependent upon scanning speed or platen shape, striking duration timing dependent upon scanning rate, or printing pin actuation timing dependent upon stored shift amounts.

Motor control method and apparatus, time recorder having same and impact type printing apparatus

A time recorder can print characters without reducing the print font size or increasing the width of a time card itself. Also, no limitations are imposed on the number of clock ins/outs per day. A control unit checks the identity of card identification information attached to the time card. The control unit instructs a printing unit to print clock in/out information in succession such that the printed line is changed for each one set of clock in/out, and records the information in a recording unit. When all the print lines are used up, clock in/out information recorded in the recording unit is taken over as card identification information on a new time card.
