An information processing apparatus includes: an apparatus body including a body having a keyboard and a display unit attached to the body so as to be opened and closed; an acceleration sensor mounted on the apparatus body; a gesture motion determination unit mounted on the apparatus body and determining a reference posture of a holding state of the apparatus body taken when a user executes a given gesture function while holding the apparatus body based on acceleration detected by the acceleration sensor as well as determining a gesture motion executed by the user by detecting posture change of the apparatus body from the reference posture based on acceleration detected by the acceleration sensor; and an operation execution unit mounted on the apparatus body and executing a given operation corresponding to the gesture motion executed by the user based on the determination result in the gesture motion determination unit.

Information processing apparatus and associated methodology for performing functions based on gestures

An information processing apparatus is provided that detects brightness and outputs an illuminance value corresponding to the detected brightness, derives a luminance set value for controlling a light emission signal regulating luminance of a light source based on the illuminance value, and displays derived power consumption information related to power consumption of the light source based on the luminance set value.

Information processing apparatus and program

An information processing apparatus includes a display control unit which displays information in a first display state of the information processing apparatus itself and displays a search result obtained by using at least a part of the information as a search key in a second display state of another information processing apparatus of a different type from the information processing apparatus itself.

Information processing for distributed display of search result

An apparatus includes a mode determination circuit configured to determine an input mode from at least a first mode and a second mode; an input circuit configured to receive a signal based on a user input; and an image processing circuit configured to determine a subset of an image including a desired image area based on the user input of a first line in the first mode, and to determine the desired image area based on the user input of a second line on the subset of the image in the second mode.

Information processing apparatus and operation method of information processing apparatus

An information processing apparatus is provided that includes an illuminance detection unit to detect brightness and output an illuminance value corresponding to the detected brightness, a luminance control unit to derive a luminance set value for controlling a light emission signal regulating luminance of a light source based on the illuminance value, and a display control unit to derive power consumption information related to power consumption of the light source based on the luminance set value and display the power consumption information on a display screen.

An information processing apparatus includes a jack, a noise-canceling adjustment section, a signal superposition section, an inter-device universal communication bus, and a control section. The jack is connectable with a plug of a headphone including a microphone, outputs a first signal to the headphone, and inputs a second signal from the microphone. The noise-canceling adjustment section generates and outputs, based on the second signal input from the jack, a third signal that cancels a noise component around the headphone. The signal superposition section superposes the third signal on the first signal output from the jack. The control section controls the noise-canceling adjustment section via the inter-device universal communication bus.
