摘要:
The information processing apparatus allows, based on an image obtained by photographing a user by the CCD camera 8, to recognize the movement direction of the user and when generating a command corresponding to the recognized movement direction, to create the gesture recognition screen 100 in a search state indicating that the apparatus is searching for the user's movement and display it on a liquid crystal display 10 so as to certainly notify the user that the user's movement is recognizable and it is in a standby state. Further, the information processing apparatus allows, before recognizing the movement direction of the user's action based on the image obtained by photographing the user by the CCD camera 8, to generate a gesture recognition screen 100 in advance for making the user visualize a recognizable movement direction and display a target division 107 arranged in a horizontal line on the gesture recognition screen 100 so as to notify the user in advance that right-and-left movement is recognizable, using the target division 107. Furthermore, the information processing apparatus allows, based on the image obtained by photographing the user's hand with the CCD camera 8, to recognize the movement direction of the hand in the image and generate a visual feedback screen representing the trail of the movement of the recognized hand and display it on the liquid crystal display 10 so as to make the user learn on how the movement of the hand was recognized, by feedback.
摘要:
As a rotating member of an operating unit is operated, a graphical user interface works so that a band-shaped display area wound on a roll-shaped object looks like being extended upward in visually the same direction as the direction of rotation of the rotating member, from the roll-shaped object. In this case, left and right ends of the roll-shaped object move to look like rotating. When the band-shaped display area is fully extended, the left and right ends stop rotating. Thus, a graphical user interface is provided which does not require a user to repeat troublesome operations until an information processing device executes processing desired by the user, and which enables improvement in user-friendliness.

A hierarchical hysteresis menu area is such an area in which the hysteresis information from the hysteresis of past operations up to the current hierarchical layer is displayed responsive to an operation on an operating unit and in which selection by a user is made using the operating unit. As the hierarchy progresses, new rows such as “Top Menu”, “ . . . Menu A”, “ . . . Menu A-1” are created progressively, until the current layer [ . . . menu A-1 “ . . . menu A-1”] is demonstrated as the lowermost layer. Indents and marks are used to denote a hierarchical structure. If a cursor is moved by an operating unit to decide on a certain selected layer, reversion may be made directly to the layer. The current menu area indicates the item of the current layer. A folder mark is displayed for a menu having a further lower item. The current hierarchical layer is indicated in this manner in the operating menu system of a hierarchical structure employing a user interface device.
摘要:
The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus and method, and a program in which information can be reliably exchanged when performing wireless communication by allowing a user to know a communication distance at which devices can be connected. For example, a communication unit 28 performs Bluetooth communication with a communication unit, which serves as a Bluetooth module, provided for a cellular telephone; a CPU 21 displays an image corresponding to the cellular telephone based on the input level of Bluetooth radio waves transmitted from the cellular telephone; the CPU 21 calculates the display position of the image to be displayed based on the data indicating the input level of the radio waves. The present invention can be applied to an information processing apparatus, for example, a personal computer, PDA, or a cellular telephone.

The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus and method that allow wireless communications to be readily and quickly started. When a cellular phone 1 is placed in proximity to a personal computer 11, a strap ID is transmitted from a contactless IC tag 3 of a cellular phone strap 2 to a reader/writer 12 of the personal computer 11. The personal computer 11 has a table of association between the strap ID and a Bluetooth device name of the cellular phone 1. The personal computer 11, upon obtaining the strap ID, refers to the association table and thereby identifies the cellular phone 1 as a party for carrying out Bluetooth communications therewith. The personal computer 11, by referring to the Bluetooth device name, identifies the cellular phone 1 from among a plurality of Bluetooth devices including the cellular phone 1, and carries out Bluetooth communications with the cellular phone 1. The present invention can be applied to various information processing apparatuses such as cellular phones and personal computers.
摘要:
The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus and method, a recording medium, and a program which allow a user to immediately and easily know whether or not transmission of desired data is completed and the direction of transmission of the data. Readers/writers 23-1 through 23-4 and RF tags 24-1 through 24-4 detect an electronic device which is placed adjacent thereto and the direction in which the electronic device is placed. The readers/writers 23-1 through 23-4 and the RF tags 24-1 through 24-4 obtain identification information of the electronic device when the electronic device placed adjacent thereto is detected. A communication unit 22 communicates with the electronic device over a network based on the identification information. A CPU 11 controls display so that an image corresponding to at least one of the communication status of data communicated over the network and the content of the data is displayed on an LCD 17 based on the direction in which the electronic device is placed. The present invention is applicable to an information processing apparatus such as a personal computer, a PDA, or a cellular telephone.

The present invention relates to a communication system and a communication method for simply and quickly starting communication. A cellular phone is loaded with a non-contact IC card that communicates with a reader/writer of a personal computer using an electromagnetic wave. When the non-contact IC card receives the electromagnetic wave emitted from the reader/writer with the cellular phone placed close to the personal computer, the cellular phone notifies the personal computer of a card ID set in the non-contact IC card. When the personal computer acquires Bluetooth device names of the cellular phone and PDA with intra-piconet synchronization established between the cellular phone and the PDA, the personal computer identifies the cellular phone as a communication partner based on the Bluetooth device names already notified of as the card ID. The present invention is applicable to an information processing apparatus such as a personal computer and a cellular phone.
