Video analytics camera system for an aerosol delivery device
An aerosol delivery device includes a cartridge of aerosol precursor composition, and a control body coupled or coupleable to the cartridge. The control body includes a control component to control delivery of components of the aerosol precursor composition in response to detection of airflow through at least a portion of the cartridge or control body, and includes a camera system with a digital camera to capture video imagery of a scene in a field of view thereof. The camera system or the control component is configured to perform video content analytics on the video imagery to detect a temporal or spatial event in the scene, and transfer at least one of the video imagery or information indicative of the temporal or spatial event externally to a computing device configured to store or display the video imagery or information, or perform at least one control operation based on the information.
MANAGEMENT APPARATUS, SYSTEM, AND MANAGEMENT METHOD
A management apparatus that manages a plurality of image forming apparatuses, the management apparatus includes: a storage that stores histories of user operations on the image forming apparatuses for the plurality of image forming apparatuses, respectively; and a hardware processor that determines an image forming apparatus recommended to be operated from among the plurality of image forming apparatuses based on the histories of the user operations of the image forming apparatuses and outputs a notification indicating the determined recommended image forming apparatus.

METHOD AND APPARATUS OF PROCESSING IMAGE
An image processing method and an image processing apparatus are provided. The image processing method includes acquiring information of a first region of interest (ROI) in a first frame, estimating information of a second ROI in a second frame that is received after the first frame, based on the acquired information of the first ROI, and sequentially storing, in a memory, subframes that are a portion of the second frame, each of the subframes being a line of the second frame. The image processing method further includes determining whether a portion of the stored subframes includes the second ROI, based on the estimated information of the second ROI, and based on the portion of the stored subframes being determined to include the second ROI, processing the portion of the stored subframes.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AGGREGATING, TAGGING AND DISTRIBUTING UNSTRUCTURED DATA AS STRUCTURED DATA IN REAL TIME
A data processing system for aggregating, tagging and distributing unstructured data as structured data in real time and methods for manufacturing and using same. A camera for capturing photographic images is deployed at a selected event and, upon capturing an image of one or more event attendees, associates the image with native metadata. The native metadata includes attendee contact information for enabling the camera to send the image to the attendee in real time. The camera likewise sends the image and native metadata to a content processing system, which separates the raw image data from the native metadata and utilizes the native metadata to identify additional derived metadata for the image. By aggregating images from multiple events and tagging the images with the native and derived metadata, the data processing system advantageously can store the unstructured images in content wrappers as structured data for facilitating later distribution.
Image capturing apparatus, device, control method, and computer-readable storage medium
An image capturing apparatus, which includes a mounting part capable of attaching/detaching a device capable of at least storing a captured image, generates image data based on the captured image, if the device mounted in the mounting part can execute image analysis processing for the image data, determines, based on information obtained from the device, a method to be used to obtain a result of the image analysis processing from the device, outputs the image data to the device; and obtains the result from the device using the determined method.
Apparatus, method for controlling the apparatus, and storage medium for executing trim processing and performing wear leveling on area in use
During TRIM processing, an apparatus cannot read/write data from/to a semiconductor storage device, and thus cannot perform processing using the device. If the TRIM processing is executed irrespective of a user's intention, the user is to wait for completion of the TRIM processing before performing a desired function of the apparatus. The apparatus includes a nonvolatile storage unit having semiconductor areas, a control unit configured to count a value of at least one type of data, an execution unit configured to execute TRIM processing that notifies the storage unit of an unused area among the semiconductor areas and performs wear leveling on an area in use among the semiconductor areas, and a notification unit configured to provide a notification prompting the execution of the TRIM processing when the counted value of the data satisfies a condition for a threshold.

Printing apparatus, method for controlling printing apparatus, and storage medium
A printing apparatus for shortening the time required to read documents having a plurality of pages, while preventing the occurrence of an overflow in a storage unit.
IMAGE CAPTURE DEVICE FOR GENERATING TIME-LAPSE VIDEOS
An image capture device continuously generates time-lapse video frames to be included within a time-lapse video using a dynamic time-lapse video frame rate, with the value of the dynamic time-lapse video frame rate changing based on activation of a trigger to change the dynamic time-lapse video frame rate. The dynamic time-lapse video frame rate alternates between different values.
