Techniques and systems are described for generating location based photo discovery suggestions. Generally, photo discovery data is generated and utilized to form discovery suggestions that identify suggested locations for capturing photographs, as well as other capture-related information that is presented to assist a user in capturing photographs of interest to the user. A discovery suggestion, for example, not only identifies a location of potential photographic interest to a user, but also includes information such as camera settings and suggested camera equipment for capturing photos at the location. A discovery suggestion thus guides a user as to how to maximize a likelihood that a digital image captured by the user includes subject matter of interest to the user and is also visually pleasing.

An electronic device that is improved in object detection performance exhibited when executing a specific function. A system controller detects one or more objects from image data, evaluates feature values of the one or more detected objects, and identifies an object out of the one or more objects, that satisfies a predetermined criterion related to execution of a specific function, based on a result of the evaluation. The specific function is executed in a case where it is determined that the identified object satisfies an execution condition of the specific function.

A computer-implemented method programmed for execution in a computing environment for recommending at least one substrate to be used in conjunction with a digital image to form a print product is provided. The method comprises: providing a digital image; providing a list of available substrates stored in a memory; utilizing a processor, analyzing the digital image to identify at least one of: image content included in the digital image, or at least one image characteristic included in the digital image; utilizing the processor, automatically selecting at least one substrate size to be used to form a print product based on at least one of the identified image content or the identified at least one image characteristic; automatically identifying at least one substrate from the list of available substrates based on the selected at least one substrate size; and displaying the identified at least one substrate on a display.

An electronic device according to various embodiments includes a camera, a memory, a display, and a processor. The processor is configured to: based on an input for executing a camera application being received, identify first images shot within a region of a set range from a location of the electronic device from among a plurality of images, based on location information of the plurality of images stored in the memory or an external electronic device; select at least one second image from the first images, based on a priority of each of the first images; and, while displaying a preview image obtained through the camera on the display, display a visual object including a thumbnail image corresponding to the at least one second image on the display by overlaying the visual object on the preview image.

Systems and methods provide for configuring and transferring multiple data files including image data files using a mobile device. A mobile device may acquire multiple data files including image files from disparate sources and transmit them to an enhanced image processing server. The enhanced image processing server may analyze the received image files using various techniques. To aid in analysis, the server may also interface with various internal and external databases storing reference images or other reference data of previously analyzed similar data. Further still, the enhanced image processing server may transmit a result of the analysis back to a mobile device.

Systems and methods provide for an automated system for analyzing damage and processing claims associated with an insured item, such as a vehicle. An enhanced claims processing server may analyze damage associated with the insured item using photos/video transmitted to the server from a user device (e.g., a mobile device). The mobile device may receive feedback from the server regarding the acceptability of submitted photos/video, and if the server determines that any of the submitted photos/video is unacceptable, the mobile device may capture additional photos/video until all of the data are deemed acceptable. To aid in damage analysis, the server may also interface with various internal and external databases storing reference images of undamaged items and cost estimate information for repairing previously analyzed damages to similar items. Further still, the server may generate a payment for compensating a claimant for repair of the insured item.

An information processing device includes: a processor configured to: acquire an invoice to be processed; acquire a document related to the invoice; and perform a process of outputting a suggestion as to a predetermined matter that is to be executed next in accordance with an inconsistency between a content described in the invoice and a content described in the document.

A photo taking control method and system based on a mobile terminal, and a storage medium. The method comprises: a photo sharing platform pre-stores photos and photos taking positions, and arranges the photos at the same position in descending order according to degrees of attention; a mobile terminal obtains position information of the current position of a user in real time and sends the position information to the photo sharing platform; when retrieving the stored photos at the same position according to the position information, the photo sharing platform sends ahead photos to the mobile terminal.

Aspects of the disclosures provide for configuring and transferring multiple data files including image data files using a mobile computing device. A mobile computing device may acquire multiple data files including image files from disparate sources and transmit them to an enhanced image processing server. The enhanced image processing server may analyze the received image files using various techniques. To aid in analysis, the server may also interface with various internal and external databases storing reference images or other reference data of previously analyzed similar data. Further still, the enhanced image processing server may transmit a result of the analysis back to a mobile computing device. The mobile computing device itself may also analyze the image files.

Provided are an image processing apparatus, an image processing method, and a program capable of reducing user's labor in automatically creating a photo album. A plurality of candidate images are acquired, user selection information regarding a user-selected image selected by a user is acquired from the plurality of candidate images, and a user-selected image is obtained on the basis of an analysis result of the user-selected image. An attribute is given to the user-selected image, and a user selection standard that is a standard in selecting the user-selected image is estimated on the basis of a user selection ratio represented by a ratio of the number of selected images having the same attribute to a total number of user-selected images. An auto-selected image is selected from non-selected images that are not selected by the user in the candidate images on the basis of the user selection standard.
