An air-conditioning management device includes: a power consumption obtaining unit that obtains both individual air-conditioned area and overall power consumption amounts in one day; an overall excess coefficient calculation unit that calculates an overall excess coefficient on a monthly basis; an individual excess coefficient calculation unit that calculates individual excess coefficients each indicating a degree of excess from the individual target value on a monthly basis; an excess determination unit that determines whether the overall excess coefficient is larger than a set threshold value; an energy saving control setting unit that sets energy saving control conditions for the respective air-conditioned areas to provide high energy saving effects in descending order of the individual excess coefficients when the overall excess coefficient is determined to be larger than the set threshold value; and an operation control unit that performs energy saving operation of the air-conditioning apparatuses based on the energy saving control conditions.

Air-conditioning management device and air-conditioning system using the same

An image processor includes a zoom lens for performing optical zooming by moving in a first range, an imaging unit for converting an object image obtained via a zoom lens into an image signal, and an electronic zooming unit for performing an electronic zooming operation on the image signal. The electronic zooming unit performs the electronic zooming operation as a result of moving the zoom lens into a second range when the zoom lens is in the first range and outside the second range.

Image processor allowing shooting at close range

In an image sensing apparatus, the color value of a conversion destination is acquired from a code image included in the image data captured by an image sensing unit. A frame is displayed on an electronic viewfinder screen, which is displayed based on the image data output from an image processing unit in the image sensing apparatus. The color value of a conversion target is determined based on color information included in the frame of an image displayed on the electronic viewfinder screen in response to a predetermined operation input. Color conversion parameters of the image processing unit are determined so as to convert colors within a predetermined range including the color value of the conversion target into colors within a predetermined range including the color value of the conversion destination on a color space.

Image sensing apparatus and control method thereof

An image pickup apparatus of the present invention can eliminate the trouble of starting up the image pickup apparatus once to change settings in order to turn off a start-up picture image and mute start-up sound or operation sound. A method of controlling the same, a program for the method and a storage medium having the program stored therein all can attain such technological advantages. Start-up sound, operation sound after the start-up and display of a start-up picture image of the image pickup apparatus are inhibited by depressing a predetermined button in starting up the image pickup apparatus.

Image pickup apparatus having controlled start-up

In an imaging apparatus having an imaging unit, an image processor, and a recording unit, an electronic viewfinder screen is displayed with an image capture frame on the basis of image data captured by the imaging unit and output from the image processor. A conversion source color is determined on the basis of color information included in the frame of an image displayed on the electronic viewfinder screen in response to a first operation input. A conversion destination color is determined on the basis of color information included in the frame of an image displayed on the electronic viewfinder screen in response to a second operation input. Color conversion parameters of the image processor are set to convert a color within a predetermined range including the conversion source color into a color within a predetermined range including the conversion destination color on a color space.

Imaging apparatus and its control method displaying an electronic viewfinder screen and a frame within the screen including color information

An apparatus, a control method, and a control program which permit a first change operation of optically changing magnifications of a taken image and a second change operation of changing the magnifications by signal processing and in which a predetermined restriction that is not imposed on transition from the second change operation to the first change operation is imposed on transition from the first change operation to the second change operation.

Image taking apparatus capable of optically and electrically changing magnification of taken images

A digital image sensing apparatus having a plurality of programs for connecting the apparatus to a plural types of external device. When sensed video image data is transferred to the external device, the characteristic of the external device is obtained so that the video image data can be converted into data in form receivable and interpretable by the external device. An application program is selected in accordance with the obtained characteristic, then the video image data is converted in accordance with the selected program, and the converted video image data is outputted to the external device.

Digital image-sensing apparatus and control method therefor

Each CPU registers jobs of its own in the form of nodes in a normal node queue, executes the registered jobs in a registration order, has a queue (remote node queue) for registering a job requested by another CPU in the form of a node, and executes the remote nodes in a registration order as in the normal nodes. When the first CPU causes the second CPU to execute a job, the first CPU transmits the job in the form of a node processed by the second CPU. The second CPU registers the received node in the remote node queue and executes it as in the normal node. The second CPU sends back, to the first CPU, the processing result of the received node in the form of a node processed by the first CPU, as needed.

Method for execution of program steps by a remote CPU in a computer

An information processing method and apparatus includes elements and steps to rapid figure editing and its execution environment by quickly executing a program and a file from a diagram showing a flow of the program and file. According to the invention, a rectangular figure object in which a line width is set to '0.2 mm', a line type is set to 'solid line', and a line color is set to 'black' and which is filled by a pattern of a 'diagonal-1' of 'red' is pasted to a drawing sheet by using a mouse or the like by the user. After a character attribute 'dir' was pasted to the rectangular object by using a keyboard, for example, when an instruction to point the rectangular object by using the mouse or the like or to depress a button of the mouse while depressing a control key of the keyboard, or the like is performed, a command interpreter stored in a memory device is activated by a CPU, the character attribute 'dir' of the rectangular object is read out, the characters 'dir' are sent to the activated command interpreter, and the computer command 'dir' is executed, so that the above object can be accomplished.

Information processing apparatus and method and computer usable medium

In editing a program, when a reference variable name of a predetermined program line is designated, a line variable i (its initial value is 1) and line information n are compared. If i.gtoreq.n, the processing is ended. If i&lt;n, a check is made as to whether the line i is a variable definition area. If the line i is not the variable definition area, the line variable i is incremented and the process is repeated. If the line i is the variable definition area, the line i is searched for the reference variable name. If the reference variable name is not found, the line variable i is incremented and then the process is repeated. If the reference variable name is found, the line information and the text information are stored in an INSERT buffer 23-5. The pieces of information are stored in a variable definition table 51 in an order of reception. Finally, the variable definition statement stored in the variable definition table 51 is displayed.

Program processing to facilitate program editing

A mass body and a moving contact are integrated so that the moving contact comes in slide contact with a fixed contact disposed on the inner peripheral surface of a case, whereby a slide part and a switch part are shared and an acceleration detector miniatures particularly in an axial direction.
