Abstract:
1. An information processing apparatus for generating a parameter for an electronic device having image sensing means and processing means for performing processing in accordance with said parameter, comprising: input means for inputting the parameter for said electronic device; electronic device information storage means which stores images corresponding to operation switches of electronic devices which can be a subject of setting, as well as code information for the operation switches; selection means of selecting an electronic device which is a subject of setting; acquisition means which acquires an image and the code information corresponding to the selected electronic device from the electronic device information storage means; code generating means which displays the image acquired by said acquisition means, and generates codes using the code information corresponding to the operation switches within the displayed image; encryption means for encrypting the parameter inputted by said input means using the codes generated by said code generation means, thereby generating encrypted information; and image output means for generating a visible image to be subjected to image sensing by said image sensing means of said electronic device based on the encrypted information obtained by said encryption means, and outputting the visible image; wherein said electronic-device information storage means further stores position information of the operation switches of the electronic-device; wherein said acquisition means also acquires the position information from the electronic device information storage means; and wherein said code generation means determines which switch has been selected from the selection position of the displayed image, and generates a code for encryption from the code information corresponding to the selected operation switch.
