A communication apparatus comprises: a communication unit configured to communicate with a recording apparatus having storage medium and capable of accepting an operation on the content data stored in the storage medium via communication; a registration unit configured to register a predetermined recording apparatus; and a control unit configured to perform control for receiving the content data stored in the storage medium, and to control predetermined processing for causing the recording apparatus to delete the content data stored in the storage medium, wherein the control unit, in a case where the recording apparatus is the predetermined recording apparatus registered by the registration unit, performs control so as to perform the predetermined processing for causing the content data stored in the storage medium to be deleted.

An image recording apparatus includes an image capturing unit configured to capture an image of a subject, a recording unit configured to record one of still image data and video image data captured by the image capturing unit on a storage medium in the form of an image file, a generating unit configured to generate a management file used for managing the image file recorded on the storage medium, and a registering unit configured to register an identifier of the image file recorded on the storage medium in the management file on a capture date basis in the order of capture time.

An MFP specifies an MFP application to be started in a portable terminal and another application to be started after start of the MFP application. An NFC tag records information that allows the specified MFP application and the specified another application to be identified in the portable terminal. The portable terminal acquires the application information recorded in the NFC tag by the proximity wireless communication. The portable terminal controls a communication-connection changeover according to an application to be started based on the acquired information. At this moment, if a type of communication to be used by the MFP application and a type of communication to be used by the another application are different, the portable terminal starts the another application after making a changeover to communication connection corresponding to this another application.

A “Moment Capture System” automatically captures and buffers multiple image frames, both prior to and following digital camera shutter activation. This capture and buffering is performed in combination with real-time automatic control of camera settings (e.g., exposure time, capture rate, ISO, white balance, aperture, etc.) based on an ongoing real-time evaluation of contents and characteristics of most recent previously buffered frames. Whenever a shutter activation (e.g., a “tap”) is detected, the Moment Capture System pulls some number of pre-tap frames from the buffer and adds some number of post-tap frames to create an “image moment.” Image moments are defined as sets of sequential frames spanning a time period before and after the detected tap. In various implementations, the Moment Capture System performs automated selection of perceptually best images from the buffered frames associated with each tap. This automated selection closely emulates human selection based on subjective subtleties of human preferences.

An image processing apparatus includes circuitry that receives a list of file identification information from an external apparatus that stores, for one or more files to be output, file identification information for identifying the file to be output connected to the image processing apparatus via a network, registers, in a memory, output information including file identification information of a first file at least one file of the one or more files that has been output, and based on a result of comparing the list of the file identification information that is received with the file identification information included in the output information, controls a display to display a screen for selecting a file to be output, the screen indicating at least one of the first file and a second file, the second file being at least one file of the one or more files that has not been output.

Each of vehicles acquires its own position, and transmits an image of a nearby outside taken by an own camera and a piece of information of the own position. An information center communicatable wirelessly with the vehicles receives the images and the pieces of information of the vehicles' positions transmitted by the vehicles, and recognizes pieces of first character information appearing in the received images, respectively. Based on the received pieces of information of the vehicles' positions as well as at least either points of interest or areas stored as collection target information, the information center determines at least either points of interest or areas for the recognized pieces of first character information, respectively, and stores association information where the pieces of first character information are associated with the determined at least either points of interest or areas.

A printing system includes at least one processor that acts as a storing unit and a determination unit. The storing unit causes history data about a print job to be stored into storage. The determination unit determines whether to cause a user to perform confirmation processing at a time of printing based on the history data about the print job that is stored in the storage.

An image forming apparatus includes: a memory that stores a setting for a first process in association with an identifier; a receiver that receives the identifier, image data, and a request for a second process from a host apparatus capable of requesting the second process but incapable of requesting the first process; and a processor that performs the first process on a basis of the image data according to the setting stored in association with the identifier.

A device and method allows a user to create a mark corresponding to a moment in time of a captured recording to provide later viewing of a portion of the recording corresponding to the moments in time.
