An elevator door device includes a failure detection vane mounted on a safety shoe, and a failure detection roller to be brought into contact with the failure detection vane to turn on a shoe switch. The failure detection roller is mounted only on an OFF-failure detection floor. In a case where the shoe switch is turned off when a door is fully closed on the OFF-failure detection floor, it is determined that the safety shoe has OFF failure, and in a case where the shoe switch is turned on when the door is fully closed on an ON-failure detection floor, on which the failure detection roller is not mounted, it is determined that the safety shoe has ON failure.

An information processing apparatus and method which allow a user to readily select, upon transmission of an electronic mail or upon uploading of image data, image data of a plurality of images to be attached to the electronic mail or image data to be transmitted. The user uses a cross key and a determination button of an inputting section of a camcorder: to operate an anchor on an image selection screen, to operate a page backward feeding button and to operate a page feeding button to select a thumbnail image displayed. In response to an operation by the user, the anchor is positioned on the side of the number of the thumbnail image designated by the user, and image data of the thumbnail image at which the anchor is positioned are selected.

The invention relates to an information processing apparatus and method which allow a user to readily select, upon transmission of an electronic mail or upon uploading of image data, image data of a plurality of images to be attached to the electronic mail or image data to be transmitted. The user uses a cross key and a determination button of an inputting section of a camcorder to operate an anchoron an image selection screento operate a page backward feeding buttonand a page feeding buttonto select a thumbnail image displayed. In response to an operation of the user, the anchoris positioned on the left side of the number of the thumbnail image designated by the user, and image data of the thumbnail image at which the anchoris positioned are selected. At a left upper portion of the selected thumbnail image, a check mark representative of such selection is displayed. When the user wants to end the image selection operation, it operates the anchor to operate a determination button. The present invention can be applied to a camcorder.
