The present invention provides an image processing apparatus to execute a specifying step for specifying a change target for a common page contained in album data for a first subject containing the common page and an individual page for the first subject based at least on parameters related to the first subject, and specifying a change target for the common page contained in album data for a second subject containing the common page and an individual page for the second subject based at least on parameters related to the second subject.

The present invention provides an image processing apparatus to execute a specifying step for specifying a change target for a common page contained in album data for a first subject containing the common page and an individual page for the first subject based at least on parameters related to the first subject, and specifying a change target for the common page contained in album data for a second subject containing the common page and an individual page for the second subject based at least on parameters related to the second subject.

Provided is a method of controlling an image processing apparatus capable of controlling album data for a first subject containing a common page and an individual page for the first subject, and album data for a second subject containing the common page and an individual page for the second subject. The method includes specifying a change target for a page contained in the album data for the first subject.

An image processing apparatus acquires a plurality of pieces of image data sequentially outputted from an imager and, in accordance with reception of an image capturing instruction to capture a still image, specify as image data to be processed a plurality of pieces of image data in a period that includes a timing at which the still image is captured. The image processing apparatus, based on an action of a subject estimated using the image data to be processed, add information that indicates the action of the subject to data of the still image.

A device and algorithm for allowing a customer to choose a photo book cover template that is compatible with a photo having faces. The photo is compared with a set of templates arranged in a first order to determine how compatible the photo is to each of the templates, and a score indicative of compatibility is assigned. A re-sorted set of compatible templates combined with the photo is presented to the customer for consideration.

The present invention is a method and system of small construction project management by way of photo imaging and measurement capture for use by do-it-yourselfers, handymen and small contractors. The method and system operates on mobile computing devices and includes an image recognition system. By performing various imaging based measurements and then processing the resultant data, the method and system produces bills of materials. invoices, and receipts for the necessary tools and materials required by a construction project.

There is provided a control method for an image processing apparatus that generates a plurality of pieces of album data corresponding to a plurality of albums, the plurality of pieces of album data including a common page, which is a page common to all of the plurality of pieces of album data, and an individual page, which is a page not common to all of the plurality of pieces of album data. At least one image data group out of at least one image data group specified as a common image data group is controlled in such a way as not to be specified as an individual image data group.

A computer-implemented method programmed for execution in a computing environment for ordering and facilitating payment of a print product. The method comprises storing a digital image in a memory; allowing for the selection of a print product to establish a print order that includes an identification of the selected product and an order cost; generating a unique payment link that corresponds to the print order and provides a mobile computing device with access to communicate with a remote payment processing system to provide payment for the print order; providing access to the unique payment link; receiving a payment notification from the payment processing system indicating that a payment authorization has been received through use of the unique payment link by the mobile computing device, wherein the payment authorization is for an amount equal to the order cost; and allowing for the fulfillment of the print order using a printing device.

A device and algorithm for allowing a customer to choose a photo book cover template that is compatible with a photo having faces. The photo is compared with a set of templates arranged in a first order to determine how compatible the photo is to each of the templates, and a score indicative of compatibility is assigned. A re-sorted set of compatible templates combined with the photo is presented to the customer for consideration.

A print system, a server, a print method, and a program capable of bringing attention to a photo print of a player of an online game and acquiring a distinctive photo print suitable for communication are provided. A smartphone displays a composite image in which a captured image imaged by a camera unit and a computer graphics image showing a character and acquired from a game server during the online game are composited on a display unit, and acquires the composite image displayed on the display unit in a case where imaging instruction information is received. In a case where print instruction information is received, the smartphone generates a print image including the acquired composite image and status information related to the character of the game and acquired from the game server, and outputs the generated print image to a printer.
