A cloud-based file system receives a subscription request associated with a networked device and identifying a set of one or more resources of the cloud-based file system and a set of one or more resource modifications. The cloud-based file system determines whether the networked device is authorized to access the resource, and, if so, records a subscription based on the subscription request. In response to a user, an application, or other suitable entity making a modification in the set of modifications to a resource in the set of resources, the cloud-based file system generates a notification to the networked device and to other networked devices with subscriptions that include the modification to the resource. The notification may identify the subscription with which the notification is associated, provide information identifying the modification, or provide other suitable information.

A shared terminal includes: circuitry to control a display to display an image to a plurality of users, the plurality of users sharing a use of the shared terminal, and obtain, from a first privately-owned terminal owned by a first user of the plurality of users, first terminal identification information for identifying the first privately-owned terminal; a transmitter to transmit, to a terminal management server, an authentication request for authenticating the first privately-owned terminal to allow login of the first user into the shared terminal, the authentication request including the first terminal identification information of the first privately-owned terminal; and a receiver to receive an authentication result indicating whether the first privately-owned terminal is authenticated to allow login of the first user, from the terminal management server. When the authentication result indicates that the first privately-owned terminal is a legitimate terminal and login of the first user is successful, the circuitry controls the display to display a screen for allowing the plurality of users including the first user to draw an image. When the authentication result indicates that the first privately-owned terminal is not a legitimate terminal and login of the first user fails, the circuitry controls the display to display a screen with an error message.

An image processing apparatus generates a plurality of virtual viewpoint images being temporally consecutive, and includes a data acquisition unit, a parameter acquisition unit, a viewpoint acquisition unit, and a generation unit. The data acquisition unit is configured to acquire image data that is obtained by capturing images in a plurality of directions by a plurality of image capturing devices. The parameter acquisition unit is configured to acquire a parameter related to the acquired image data and related to quality of the plurality of virtual viewpoint images. The viewpoint acquisition unit is configured to acquire viewpoint information representing a moving path of a virtual viewpoint. The generation unit is configured to generate the plurality of virtual viewpoint images according to a virtual viewpoint having a moving speed based on the acquired image data. The moving speed being determined based on the acquired parameter and the acquired viewpoint information.

An image file creation apparatus includes an acquisition circuit configured to acquire a picked-up image, and a processor configured to create an image file in recording the acquired image, in which the processor includes cooperation participation information for clarifying a relationship between the picked-up image and a cooperation image cooperating with the picked-up image as metadata in the image file, and the cooperation participation information includes at least one of (a) request information for requesting to provide the cooperation image cooperating with the picked-up image, and (b) provision information indicating whether or not the picked-up image can be provided as the cooperation image.

A mobile terminal improved in operability concerning fax transmission. A CPU of the mobile terminal sets information indicative of a fax transmission destination, sets reading and transmission information concerning fax transmission and original reading, and sends a request for fax transmission, to an image forming apparatus. When a response notifying capability of fax transmission is received from the apparatus, the CPU causes a message for prompting a user to set an original, to be displayed on a display section. When the original has been set and an instruction for fax transmission from the user is received, the CPU sends an instruction for reading the original and executing fax transmission, together with the transmission destination information, and the reading and transmission information, to the apparatus. The CPU causes a result of fax transmission by the apparatus to be displayed on the display section.

Generating and processing in a mobile device a photo and/or video signal into processed digital photo and/or video signal. Providing the processed photo and/or digital video signal with said processed location finder signal to a transmitter for transmission of digital video signal with the processed location finder signal.

Receiving and processing in an automobile a sensor transmitted signal into a processed sensor signal for control or monitor of certain functions of an automobile. Processing in an automobile a touch screen generated signal for controlling communications and or navigation of the automobile. Receiving, demodulating and processing a signal into a processed baseband location finder signal for location finding and or navigation of an automobile. Providing a photo camera signal with processed baseband location finder signal to a modulator and transmitter for modulation and transmission of photo camera generated photo with processed baseband location finder signal in a third generation (3G), or a fourth generation (4G), or a fifth generation (5G) wireless network. Receiving and demodulating, in an automobile, a modulated Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexed (OFDM) signal into a first demodulated OFDM signal and processing, modulating and transmitting the first demodulated OFDM signal into a second processed, modulated and transmitted OFDM signal.

According to one embodiment, a video sender comprises: a video processor and a communication module. The video processor creates video. The communication module is configured to communicate with a video receiver. The communication module comprises: a receiver and a transmitter. The receiver receives, from the video receiver, specific information specifying which one of a color signal and a frame rate takes precedence over the other one in transmission. The transmitter converts the video created by the video processor into video in which one of the color signal and the frame rate takes precedence over the other one in accordance with the specific information, and transmit the video thus converted to the video receiver.

In a photographing system, a network camera transmits image information pertaining to an image captured by the network camera, a beacon transmits a beacon ID, a portable apparatus receives the beacon ID, generates tracking data which corresponds to the beacon ID on the basis of a reception status of the beacon ID and transmits the generated tracking data and a server receives the image information transmitted from the network camera and the tracking data transmitted from the portable apparatus and specifies images of parts relating to enter and leave times of an object from images in the image information on the basis of the image information and the tracking data.
