According to an embodiment, a storage method includes: a step of generating scan data by scanning of a document with a reading device; a step of acquiring index information that is different from information that is based on the document; and a step of assigning the acquired index information to the scan data and storing the scan data to which the index information is assigned in a storage device.

Provided are an image processing device that determines a relatively appropriate output form in a case where an output form of an image is determined from a plurality of images, an image processing method, an image processing program, and a recording medium storing the program.

Information on a plurality of first image groups used for generation of a previously ordered album is stored in an order reception database. A second image group is transmitted from one user to an order reception server 5 (step S41), and an image group similar to the second image group is found from among the plurality of first image groups (step S52). Images similar to images extracted as images to be used for an album from the found image group are extracted from the second image group (step S53). The extracted images are arranged in the album (step S54). An album similar to the previously ordered album is generated.

A display device, with a display part having a rectangular display area, capable of changing an orientation of the display part between a first orientation and a second orientation rotated by 90 degrees from the first orientation, comprises: a hardware processor that: detects whether the orientation of the display part is either the first orientation or the second orientation; displays a first screen on which an operation screen operable for a user is arranged on a whole surface of the display area on the display part when the orientation of the display part is the first orientation; and displays a second screen on which reduced the operation screen is arranged in a part of the display area and a content included in the operation screen is arranged in a remaining part of the display area on the display part when the orientation of the display part is the second orientation.

An electronic device, such as a digital camera, includes a deletion mode whereby a camera/electronic device user can delete captured images or data files that have already been transferred in order to make room in the electronic device or digital camera memory for capturing further images. In one embodiment, a digital camera keeps track of which images have already been transferred to an external storage device and presents those to the user as potential images to be deleted. In another embodiment, the user is presented with a delete all transferred images which when selected deletes all the captured images that have already been transferred. In still another embodiment, deletion criteria are used to prioritize which images are deleted first.

An image processing apparatus includes: an image processing part; a storage part including a nonvolatile region that stores data in a nonvolatile manner; and a hardware processor that controls the image processing part, wherein the nonvolatile region includes a plurality of storage regions, the storage part stores setting information indicating whether each of the plurality of storage regions is a target of malicious code detection processing, and the hardware processor performs the malicious code detection processing only on a storage region that is the target of the malicious code detection processing based on the setting information among the plurality of storage regions.

A system and method hosts entity-specific photo-sharing websites for entity-specific image capture devices. The system and method provides software for the entity-specific image capture devices that causes the image capture devices to transmit entity ID information when the image capture devices transmit images over the Internet. The system and method further provide an online photosharing service capable of hosting the entity-specific photo-sharing websites for each of the entities, such that when the image capture devices connect to photo-sharing service, the photo-sharing service uses the entity ID received from the image capture devices to automatically associate the image with the photo-sharing websites of the identified entity.

An image processing apparatus includes: a storage unit that stores additional processing information which is processing information associated with physical information of a physical information terminal which a user wears, the additional processing information being transmitted from a user terminal that generates the processing information according to an instruction from the user; a first receiving unit that receives the physical information from the physical information terminal; and an execution unit, in a case where the physical information received by the first receiving unit matches the physical information of the additional processing information stored in the storage unit, executes a process corresponding to the processing information included in the additional processing information.

An electronic device, such as a digital camera, includes a deletion mode whereby a camera/electronic device user can delete captured images or data files that have already been transferred in order to make room in the electronic device or digital camera memory for capturing further images. In one embodiment, a digital camera keeps track of which images have already been transferred to an external storage device and presents those to the user as potential images to be deleted. In another embodiment, the user is presented with a delete all transferred images which when selected deletes all the captured images that have already been transferred. In still another embodiment, deletion criteria are used to prioritize which images are deleted first.

An electronic device performs a function according to an input by a user. The electronic device includes a market log acquisition unit that acquires a market log, the market log including contents of the input and an execution result of a process based on the function with respect to each execution unit of the process based on the function.

An image forming apparatus is provided which stops, in a case where a license is determined to be invalid, periodic transmission of a state notification to a processing server until the license is determined to be valid thereafter. Further, the image forming apparatus does not output a job history that is recorded while the license is invalid to the processing server. The image forming apparatus stops recording a job history in response to the image processing apparatus being unregistered from the processing server.
