It is an object of the present invention to provide a user interface which facilitates confirmation of an area in an image and associated data corresponding to the area without requiring user's complicated operations. To achieve the object, an information processing apparatus comprises: an obtaining unit configured to obtain a first image including a plurality of objects, and information related to respective positions of the plurality of objects in the first image; and a determining unit configured to determine a position in case of shifting and displaying a second image indicating the plurality of objects with respect to the first image, based on the obtained positions of the plurality of objects.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method and program

There is provided the first storage unit for storing original data, and the second storage unit for storing meta-data. Under the control of a path control unit, an optimal connection process can be performed. As a result, a stream from the first storage unit for storing the original data can always be transmitted at maximum.

Data I/O apparatus for outputting image data via a network

There is provided a portable storage device which makes it possible to largely reduce time that is taken to remove the storage cartridge that is inserted and cannot be handled. A removable hard disk cartridge contains a hard disk and a control circuit for control of writing and reading of data in and from the hard disk in a casing thereof. A main unit includes an automatic loading/ejecting mechanism that receives the hard disk cartridge into a predetermined inner position within the main unit and ejects the same out from the position, and a microprocessor that controls storage operation for storing data in the hard disk cartridge. Before the automatic loading/ejecting mechanism performs a receiving operation, it is determined whether access to contents recorded on the hard disk can be gained, and when the access cannot be gained, the receiving operation by the automatic loading/ejecting mechanism is inhibited.
