There is provided a decorative apparatus, a drive control method, and a communication system that can provide a new way of enjoyment using a thin display. The decorative apparatus includes a thin-plate display arranged between a stone and a stone seat, and a drive control unit that controls display on the display. The present technology can be applied to accessories (jewelry) such as rings, pendants, necklaces, earrings, and the like, for example.

Decorative apparatus, drive control method, and communication system

The present disclosure relates to a portable attachment and communication system that enable a desired image to be displayed with flexibility and lower power consumption in an article worn or carried by a human. The portable attachment is an article including a display body made of an electrophoretic display, the article being carried or worn by a user. The present disclosure can be applied to, for example, a portable attachment, etc. Examples of the portable attachment carried by a user are a bag, a wallet, a key holder, etc. Examples of the portable attachment worn by the user are a hair accessory, a tie, a watch, clothing, etc.

Portable attachment and communication system

The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and method for displaying information, a program, and a communication system, which enable the provision of an apparatus making use of a display device excellent in flexibility. An information display apparatus includes a display unit including a time information presenting section for presenting at least time information and a band section to be worn on an arm, and a display control unit for changing a display of the display unit. The present disclosure can be applied to, for example, the information display apparatus.

Apparatus, method, program and communication system for displaying information according to a residual voltage of a power supply of an information display apparatus

There is provided an electronic device and an information processing program, which may improve user's convenience in operation using an electronic manual. The electronic device includes: a first determination section selecting one operation mode from one or more kinds of operation modes which are provided to operate the electronic device, and determining the selected operation mode as an operation mode to be executed; and a second determination section determining, in response to an input signal from a user, manual data of operation procedure for the determined operation mode in execution, as transmission information to be transmitted to a user terminal device.

Electronic device and information processing program

Wearable device

The present disclosure is intended to facilitate the transmission of information associated with content being viewed on a public device to a private device. In response to a request from a content reception apparatus, a tablet terminal and a mobile telephone transmit information associated with an action and an application that are coordinatable with the content being displayed to the content reception apparatus. In response to a user operation, the tablet terminal selects a user-specified application from a list of applications displayed on a display of the content reception apparatus and transmits this select information to the content reception apparatus. If a coordination command of an action for coordination with an active application comes from the content reception apparatus, then the mobile telephone executes the received command. The present disclosure is applicable to information processing systems operating the content reception apparatus by using a terminal in wireless communication, for example.

Information processing system, information processing apparatus, and information processing method

There is provided an electronic device and an information processing program, which may provide a user with information about functions of the electronic device without stress to the user. The electronic device includes: a holding section holding plural pieces of function-introductory information each concerning a plurality of functions of the electronic device; a determination section selecting one out of the plural pieces of function-introductory information, and determining the selected piece of function-introductory information as transmission information to be transmitted to an external display device; and an output section outputting the transmission information.

There is provided an information processing apparatus including a storage unit where function attribute information, user operation information, and recommendation degree information are recorded to be associated with one another, the attribute information indicating an attribute about a function of a predetermined device, the operation information indicating content of a predetermined user operation input to the device, and the degree information indicating a recommendation degree which serves as a reference for outputting, on a priority basis, display for recommending use of the function to a display apparatus, a recommendation degree information updating unit that updates, when a predetermined user operation is input, the degree information to increase the degree associated with function attribute information, and a recommended function determining unit that determines, based on the degree information recorded in the unit, a function with a highest degree as a recommended function.
