20090259952 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING SAME - UI widget content includes reference information by which its own UI widget refers to a child UI widget, and a description of an initial-focus designation for designating which of its own UI widget and child UI widget will have initial focus. A self-UI widget is generated, a child UI widget associated with the self-UI widget is generated based upon the reference information, and a UI widget hierarchy is thus built. A path is followed from a root of the UI widget hierarchy to a child UI widget designated by the corresponding initial-focus designation information. When a UI widget for which a child UI widget has not been designated in the corresponding reference information is retrieved, it is determined that this UI widget is the UI widget having the initial focus. | 10-15-2009 |
20100142769 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD - An object of the present invention is to enhance search accuracy when additional data to be added to editing target data is searched using handwriting input. An information processing method performed by an information processing apparatus includes inputting a pattern to editing target data, acquiring attribute information of the editing target data, searching additional data to be added to the editing target data by using the pattern and the attribute information, and displaying the additional data, which is searched by the search unit and added to the editing target data. | 06-10-2010 |
20100194764 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD - An information processing apparatus includes a storage unit configured to store information representing a plurality of screens in each of a plurality of groups to which priorities are previously set, a determination unit configured to determine a group which is assigned the highest priority, and a control unit configured to display on a display unit a representative screen of the group assigned the highest priority. | 08-05-2010 |
20110157188 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - An apparatus comprises: a storage unit adapted to store information that associates information representing the key frame with information representing the display form of the object of the key frame; an assignment unit adapted to assign, to the time-points corresponding to the key frames, indicators with which a difference between the display forms of the objects is identifiable; and a control unit adapted to, when a new key frame is set at a time-point of interest on the time axis where no key frame is preset, and the same indicator as one of the indicators is assigned to the time-point of interest, cause the storage unit to store information representing the newly set key frame in association with information representing the display form of the object of each preset key frame, which is information representing the display form of the object at the time-point to which the same indicator is assigned. | 06-30-2011 |
20120256964 | INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND PROGRAM STORAGE MEDIUM - An information processing method enlarges or reduces and displays an area of a part of image data, displayed on a display unit, in response to a user's operation and determines, based on objects included in the enlarged or reduced and displayed area and on objects included in a plurality of image data pieces, a display order of the plurality of image data pieces. | 10-11-2012 |
20130302068 | Developing Device, Assembly, and Image Forming Apparatus - A developing device includes a first developing member that rotates in a manner such that a moving direction of a portion opposing the image carrier is opposite a moving direction of the image carrier, a second developing member provided on a downstream side of the first developing member in a rotating direction of the image carrier and rotates in a manner such that a moving direction of a portion opposing the image carrier is the same as the moving direction of the image carrier, a distributing member supported movably relative to a proximal portion where the first developing member is closest to the second developing member so as to distribute developer to the first and second developing members by contact with the developer, and an a biasing member that biases the distributing member upstream in the rotating direction of the first developing member. | 11-14-2013 |
20140104654 | PRIORITY ORDERED USER INTERFACE SCREENS FOR CONTROLLING A DEVICE - An information processing apparatus includes a storage unit configured to store information representing a plurality of screens in each of a plurality of groups to which priorities are previously set, a determination unit configured to determine a group which is assigned the highest priority, and a control unit configured to display on a display unit a representative screen of the group assigned the highest priority. | 04-17-2014 |
20150067492 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - An information processing apparatus for representing at least one candidate for a character string to be input based on at least one input character includes an acquisition unit configured to obtain situation information which represents the situation in which the information processing apparatus exists based on the information detected by the at least one sensor. The information processing apparatus further includes a prediction unit configured to predict at least one character string to be input based on the at least one character input by a user operation, a storage unit configured to store two or more character strings with each of the two or more character strings being associated with situation information which represents the situation in which the character string is used and a representation unit configured to represent at least one character string predicted by the prediction unit. | 03-05-2015 |
