An information output system includes an acquisition section that acquires care-related information of a facility, a hardware processor that calculates predetermined information required in the event of a disaster based on the care-related information and causes an output section to output the information required in the event of the disaster when the disaster occurs.

An album generation apparatus comprises a first acquisition unit configured to acquire identification information for identifying a combination of a user and a mobile object, a second acquisition unit configured to acquire one or more images from one or more image capturing apparatuses, a selection unit configured to select, from the one or more images, an image including the combination of the user and the mobile object by using the identification information, and a generation unit configured to generate an album by using the selected image.

Systems and techniques for determining a list of geographic location candidates from an image of an environment are described. Open source data indicative of the earth's surface may be obtained and combined into grids to create region data to gain a representation of the earth's surface within each grid cell. An image of an environment may be obtained from an unknown camera. Image characteristics may be compared to the region data to determine error between the image characteristics and projections of the region data. A list of lowest error geographic location candidates may be determined and provided to the user.

An image capturing apparatus comprises an interface configured to connect to an external apparatus, a transmitting unit configured to transmit image data to an external apparatus connected by the interface, a processing unit configured to encode the image data with a predetermined format, a determination unit configured to determine whether or not image data to be encoded by the processing unit includes decoding information for decoding the image data, and a control unit configured to switch, based on the determination result, between processing for transmitting image data encoded by the processing unit and the decoding information to the external apparatus and processing for transmitting an image file in which image data including the decoding information is encoded to the external apparatus.

When storing captured image data in an information server, a mobile information terminal transmits related information (date and time information, location information, direction angle information, information of a distance to a subject, and user identification information) at the time of imaging to the information server. In addition, when making a request for the image data stored in the information server, current terminal information and image search conditions describing image data replay conditions are transmitted to the information server. The information server searches for corresponding image data based on the current terminal information and the image search conditions and transmits the corresponding image data to the mobile information terminal. The mobile information terminal displays the received image data on the display unit as a related image. Therefore, a user can effectively recall the memories, such as a situation or impression at the time of imaging.

There is provided an information processing apparatus configured to execute communication with a communication apparatus including a plurality of antennas, comprising: communication unit for receiving a signal transmitted from each of the plurality of antennas of the communication apparatus; acquisition unit for acquiring information concerning a distance between the plurality of antennas of the communication apparatus, which is included in the received signal; and identifying unit for identifying information concerning an angle between the information processing apparatus and the communication apparatus based on the acquired information concerning the distance between the plurality of antennas.

An image forming apparatus includes a communication portion arranged inside a cover covering an image forming portion in the main body of the apparatus and including an antenna surface for use in establishing near field communication. The cover includes a stacking portion in its upper section. The stacking portion is configured to receive a recording medium with an image thereon, the recording medium being discharged outside the main body of the apparatus. The antenna surface faces a region of the upper section of the cover downstream in a direction of discharging the recording medium. The antenna surface at least partially faces a region of the upper section of the cover outside the stacking portion in a direction perpendicular to the direction of discharging the recording medium. The communication portion is capable of communicating with another communication portion using near field communication.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for creating an online document. A method includes prompting, a user for a base document; determining that the base document is an existing document comprising structured data; prompting the user to select a template; encoding one or more sections of the template selected by the user with content extracted from the structured data to generate an initial online document; identifying interactive elements from the structured data; creating a section within the initial online document corresponding to the interactive elements; generating for display, the initial online document in an online document editing environment, the online document editing environment configured to enable the user to selectively edit one or more sections of the initial online document; and publishing, the initial online document as the online document, with the online document creation system, in response to an indication from the user to publish.

An image processing apparatus includes an input unit configured to input image data, a learning unit configured to perform machine learning processing using information contained in the image data input by the input unit, an estimation unit configured to output an estimation result based on the information contained in the image data using a learning model generated by learning of the learning unit, and a determination unit configured to determine whether the image data input by the input unit contains sensitive information, wherein in a case where the determination unit determines that the image data input by the input unit contains the sensitive information, the learning unit does not perform machine learning on at least the sensitive information contained in the image data.
