A nail production system according to an embodiment of the disclosure includes a first correction section and a first conversion section. The first correction section corrects shape data of an existing nail tip or an existing nail sticker on the basis of measurement data of a nail, to thereby generate shape data of an original nail tip or an original nail sticker. The first conversion section converts the shape data of the original nail tip or the original nail sticker that is generated by the first correction section into print data.

Nail production system and nail production method

An electronic apparatus according to an embodiment of the technology includes an obtaining section, a determining section, and an instructing section. The obtaining section obtains a first design image or corresponding data corresponding to the first design image. The determining section determines one or a plurality of second design images different from the first design image on the basis of the first design image or the corresponding data obtained by the obtaining section. The instructing section instructs printing of one or both of the one second design image determined by the determining section and a plurality of the second design images determined by the determining section.

A method and a computer readable medium for implementing the method provide content to a second information processing device over a network after reading the content from a storage area in response to a demand from the second information processing device.

Content providing method utilizing client storage areas to provide content over a network

System and method for determining profits to be given back for network content data having advertisements

In an information processing device, server connection method, program storage medium, and network system, a connection is made to a pre-appointed access point more easily. The present invention is designed such that a user transmits to an ASPover the Internetuser registration data necessary to secure his/her exclusive storage area prepared in the serverplaced at the ASPand that the user receives from the ASPover the Interneta URL designated as the access point indicating his/her exclusive storage area meeting the user registration data, based on which connection is made automatically to the access point in the content serverover the Internetthus making it possible to connect to a pre-appointed access point with increased ease without forcing the user to perform an input operation for the URL.

Information processing device, server connection method, program storage medium, and network system

A method and a computer readable medium for implementing the method provide a desired kind of content to a client according to a time frame set up in a providing schedule. The method includes storing plural kinds of contents in a exclusive write storage area, the exclusive write storage area storing only contents provided by a single person, recognizing a demand time corresponding to a demand from the person for a desired kind of content to be sent over a network from the stored contents, judging the desired kind of content from the stored contents to be provided over the network to the client in a time frame set up in a providing schedule based on the demand time, and providing the desired kind of content to the client according to the time frame set up in the providing schedule.

Content providing method utilizing client storage areas to provide content over a network in accordance with a time frame

An apparatus provides a desired content over a network according to a received schedule time. The desired content is selected from content provided by a client and stored by the apparatus. The apparatus notifies the client over the network that the desired contents cannot be provided at one schedule time if the number of contents to be provided at that one schedule time reaches an upper limit.

Content providing method utilizing client storage areas to provide content over a network in accordance with a received schedule

The present invention realizes that a contribution is indirectly made to a content creator in the form of contribution data via a management server of an ASP in such a manner that contribution data equivalent to a given amount corresponding to a contribution button selected-on a content display screen is created and transmitted to the management server of the ASP via the Internet.

Contribution processing device and method, contribution accepting device and method,  program storage media, and contribution processing system

A content providing device, content providing method, program storage media, content providing system and content reservation control method are disclosed. Many kinds of contents to be provided in a time schedule frame matching the time demanded are sequentially provided to a client PCbased on a providing schedule set up to provide plural kinds of contents in each time schedule frame one by one, which keeps a client interested. A plurality of user PCsshare the exclusive storage area in the content serverand thus contents can be supplied to many and unspecific persons who have accessed. When the number of contents to be provided simultaneously at a desired time on the providing schedule has reached the upper value, reservations are controlled, thereby preventing the lowering of content transferring speed and ensuring a speedy provision.
