In a compact information terminal apparatus including display means having a displaying function equivalent to that of a personal computer, a browser for browsing a hyper text can easily be manipulated without altering the hyper text formed for the personal computer. When a position other than a hot spot of the hyper text on a browsing view is designated by using a position designating input device which can be manipulated by one hand, a group of operation buttons of the browser for the hyper text is displayed in the vicinity of a designated position.

There is provided a communication apparatus which makes it possible to properly process data acquired by an external device even if the data is difficult to process by the external device that acquired the data. Information is acquired from an external apparatus by communication. It is determined whether the acquired information is suitable for processing by the communication apparatus. Processing of information determined to be unsuitable for processing by the communication apparatus is delegated to an information apparatus.

An information terminal comprises display means for performing a large-screen display via a sculptured surface prism. The information terminal connects to a cellular telephone using Bluetooth technology, obtains information held by a WWW server on the Internet through cooperation with the cellular telephone, and displays a screen for viewing the obtained information on the display means. Also, button operations made at the cellular telephone can be taken as input of the information terminal for performing operations on the screen of the display means. Thus, a portable information terminal which enables viewing of information on a network with a large screen can be provided, without compromising portability or operability.

An information processing method and apparatus enables one or more further users to share a mixed reality space image including a virtual object superimposed in a space where a first user exists. A first stereo image is acquired based on a stereo video captured by a first stereo capturing section mounted on the first user and a virtual object image created based on the position and orientation of the first stereo capturing section. A second stereo image is acquired based on a stereo video captured by a second stereo capturing section provided in the space where the first user exists and a virtual object image created based on the position and orientation of the second stereo capturing section. An image is selected from the first stereo image and the second stereo image according to an instruction of the further user. The selected image is presented to the further user.

When enlargement processing is performed, binary image data inputted from a data line 100 is subjected to contour smoothing by a contour smoothing and enlarging circuit 2 and the data is enlarged by a factor of n (where n is an integer) in the main scanning direction and m (where m is an integer) in the subordinate scanning direction. When reduction processing is performed, the binary image data is outputted as is from a selector 6 to a multivalue-converting circuit 3 via a signal line 200. In the multivalue-converting circuit 3, the binary image is stored temporarily in a memory, the image data of any area is extracted, image data of multivalued density is calculated based upon a window outputted from a weighting table with reference to an area comprising a pixel of interest and its peripheral pixels, and the multivalued data is outputted to a variable-power circuit 4 via a signal line 300. In the variable-power circuit 4, the multivalued-density image data is zoomed down to any size by thinning-out processing based on an image clock and line synchronizing signal, and the resulting data is outputted to a binarizing circuit 5 via a signal line 400. The binarizing circuit 5 converts the image data of multivalued density into binary data and outputs this data on a data line 500.

In a perfume information processing system, a WEB server that provides contents containing perfume information, a perfume inquiry server that generates a perfume conversion table, and multiple clients that each includes a perfume emitting device are connected to a network. Each client sends information showing a perfume that should be emitted and information showing each stored perfume of its corresponding perfume emitting device to the perfume inquiry server and retrieves a perfume conversion table for converting the perfume that should be emitted into information showing a stored perfume. The client converts the perfume information contained in the contents retrieved from the WEB server into perfume information by referring to the perfume conversion table and controls perfume emission by the corresponding perfume emitting device based on the perfume information, thereby performing perfume emission.

Herein provided is a control system capable of efficiently and assuredly performing a remote-control of a plurality of instruments. When the plurality of instruments, which are connected to a network 600 and controllable by a computer, namely a first camera 300 and a second camera 400 as shown in FIG. 1, are remotely and simultaneously controlled, the present system is constituted so that a control right of the second camera 400 acquired by a certain client enables the client to control even the first camera while disenables other clients except for the client which acquires the control right to control both the first camera 300 and second camera 400. Accordingly, it turns unnecessary to individually acquire all of the control rights to control the related instruments, first camera 300 and the second camera 400.

An image retrieval method and apparatus for searching a plurality of images stored in an image file for a desired image are disclosed. When a designated image for designating an image to be retrieved is input, and its color is designated, the sizes and colors are compared between description information which stores the feature of each of regions obtained by dividing each of images to be searched stored in the image file, and feature data of the designated image. In this manner, the regions, which are determined to be included in the designated image, of image data are obtained, and the similarities between the obtained regions of image data and the designated image are calculated. Image data having higher similarities are read out from the image file, and are displayed while being sorted in the descending order from the highest similarity.

This disclosure relates to an image processing method and apparatus for applying binarizing processing to multivalue image data so as to produce binary image data, reproducing an image having shades of light and dark based upon the binary image data, and outputting the image. On the basis of the value of the inputted multivalue image data, a search is performed to determine whether there is a pixel whose value is "1" at the periphery of each pixel of the binarized image data with regard to the image where the value of the image data is small, i.e., a highlighted portion of the image. A pixel defining an isolated point is detected through this search. Next, with regard to a pixel defining an isolated point of the binarized image, if a pixel whose value is "1" exists comparatively near this pixel, the value of this pixel of interest is diffused near the pixel. If a pixel whose value is "1" exists comparatively far from this pixel, the value of this pixel of interest is diffused far from the pixel. Such diffusion relating to the value of an isolated point is executed upon referring to the relationship of a conversion that has been stored in a look-up table (LUT) memory that takes the resolution of the finally outputted image having shades of light and dark into consideration. By virtue of this processing, graininess is reduced with regard to low-density areas (highlighted portions), to which the human eye is most sensitive, in a reproduced image based upon a pseudo-half-tone processing method. A reproduced image having a high resolution is obtained without increasing the size of a page memory for storing image data.
