In a method for always displaying a borderless protrusion area, which is an area for achieving borderless printing, when a borderless printing function is used, the display is not necessarily appropriate display depending on the application of the user. Setting for receiving a setting for enabling borderless printing, displaying control for displaying an editing screen including an image as an editing target and a recording medium area, and controlling for, in a case where the borderless printing is set and an operation on the editing screen is received, displaying an object indicating an area for the borderless printing outside the recording medium area on the editing screen, and in a case where the operation on the editing screen is not received, not displaying the object indicating the area for the borderless printing outside the recording medium area on the editing screen are executed.

A multi-function peripheral includes a touch panel monitor. The touch panel monitor includes a display panel and a touch panel overlaid on the display panel. In a handwriting mode, an intermediate image corresponding to an original image is displayed on the display panel. When touch input to the touch panel is detected in this state, a touch image based on the touch input is superimposed on the original image, and a new image is generated.

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a display, at least one processor, and at least one memory configured to store instructions that cause the at least one processor to obtain first information from a first still image frame that is included in a first moving image, obtain second information from the first moving image, identify at least one image function based on at least one of the first information or the second information, and control the display to display at least one function execution object for executing the at least one image function. Various other embodiments can be provided.

A facsimile includes a memory and circuitry. The memory stores a plurality of pieces of image information. The circuitry is configured to identify unprocessed information, which is information on which particular processing has not performed yet, among the plurality of pieces of image information, enable specific processing to be performed collectively on a plurality of pieces of the unprocessed information among the plurality of pieces of image information, and collectively perform the specific processing on the plurality of pieces of the unprocessed information.

An information processing apparatus which cooperates with a management service for receiving a document via a network and storing the document and a blockchain service for managing information about the document on a block-by-block basis, defining an association with a previous and/or subsequent block for each block, and then managing a plurality of blocks with a plurality of nodes includes an editing unit configured to perform editing processing on a source document to generate a new document, a transmission unit configured to transmit the generated document to the management service, and a cooperation unit configured to register information indicating that the source document was edited with the blockchain service, wherein, in response to the editing unit being confirmed to be a service trusted by the blockchain service, the information indicating that the source document was edited is registered with the blockchain service.

An image reading apparatus includes a conveyance unit and a reading unit. Based on read image data from the reading unit, a tilt amount of an edge of a document on a leading edge side in a conveyance direction in which the document is conveyed is decided. If the decided tilt amount exceeds a first threshold where a setting that performs document digitalization with respect to the image data, notification is given of information indicating that reading of the document for the document digitalization has failed. If the decided tilt amount is smaller than the first threshold, skew correction is executed for correcting the tilt amount based on the decided tilt amount with respect to the image data, and the document digitalization is executed with respect to the image data for which the skew correction has been executed.

An image capturing device in the present embodiment has a configuration that is provided with an image splitting unit 21 and an edge extracting unit 22 that acquire the edge component for each block image that has been divided from an image captured by an image sensor 10, a resolution controlling unit 23 that writes each block image into a frame memory 30 with a resolution in accordance with the amount of its edge component, an image enlarging unit 24 that reads out at least one block image that corresponds to a selected region from the frame memory 30 and enlarges the block image with a magnification in accordance with the size of the selected region, and an enlarged output unit 45 that outputs the enlarged block image that corresponds to the selected region that is supplied from the image enlarging unit 24.

A human region detection unit 32 of a mask generation unit 31 detects a target region from a captured image using a region determination result obtained by semantic segmentation, and a difference region detection result. A mask generation processing unit 33 resets a boundary between a target region and a non-target region on the basis of continuity of a pixel value of a captured image, in a boundary re-search region set to include a target region and a non-target region on the basis of a boundary between the target region and the non-target region, such as a background region, that is indicated by a region determination result, and generates a target region mask using the reset boundary. A filtering unit 35 generates an image in which a background region is blurred, by performing filter processing of a region in a captured image that corresponds to a target region mask, using a target region mask generated by the mask generation unit 31, and a blurring filter coefficient set by a filter setting unit 34. It becomes possible to perform background blurring with a small amount of artifact.

An example image forming apparatus includes a communicator to receive print data, an image forming unit, and a processor to control the image forming unit to perform image processing on the received print data and control the image forming unit to print the image-processed print data. When the received print data is not a scan file, the image processing is performed at a first level and when the received print data is a scan file, the image processing is performed at a second level, the second level being higher than the first level.
