An image forming system includes: an image-data transmission unit that transmits image data; and an image-data receiving unit that receives the image data, the image-data transmission unit being connected to the image-data receiving unit through a transmission path having lanes used for a color machine, at the time of image data transmission, the image-data transmission unit adding an error check code to image data, and transmitting the image data to the image-data receiving unit, in a first unit of the image data, the image-data receiving unit calculating an error check code in the first unit, comparing the calculated error check code with the error check code transmitted, and when the calculated error check code disagrees with the error check code transmitted, transmitting an error to the image-data transmission unit, and when the image-data transmission unit receives the error, the image-data transmission unit retransmitting image data corresponding to the error.

A method and system for electronically annotating an image, or preferably, specific portions of an image, with information. In one aspect, a user may generate an image, annotate the image, and upload or otherwise disseminate the annotated image to a web page or the like. Annotations are provided as labels that provide information about the image or items therein. Further users may access the labels to access the information. The labels further enable searching and contextual advertising.

Systems, methods, devices, computer readable media, and other various embodiments are described for location management processes in wearable electronic devices. Performance of such devices is improved with reduced time to first fix of location operations in conjunction with low-power operations. In one embodiment, low-power circuitry manages high-speed circuitry and location circuitry to provide location assistance data from the high-speed circuitry to the low-power circuitry automatically on initiation of location fix operations as the high-speed circuitry and location circuitry are booted from low-power states. In some embodiments, the high-speed circuitry is returned to a low-power state prior to completion of a location fix and after capture of content associated with initiation of the location fix. In some embodiments, high-speed circuitry is booted after completion of a location fix to update location data associated with content.

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.

The electronic camera has an imaging device that images a subject with subject reflectance R (%) with a dynamic range wider than that at displaying or printing to acquire image data and a recording device that converts the image data acquired by the imaging device with a predetermined function and records the converted image data and the information on the function as digital values (digit). Therefore, a printed image with an automatically or manually corrected density can be obtained at the displaying or the printing.

A mobile terminal capable of setting a cover sheet and a header of a fax document and causing an image forming apparatus to transmit the fax document. Cover data representative of a cover sheet is created according to the settings of a cover sheet of a fax document, and header data representative of a header is created according to the settings of a header of the fax document. Upon receipt of an instruction for transmitting a fax document from the user, the mobile terminal transmits an instruction to the image forming apparatus for reading an original and transmitting the fax document, together with transmission destination information indicative of a transmission destination to which the fax document is to be transmitted and at least one of the cover data and the header data.

An information processing device includes: an acquisition unit that acquires feature information of a target depicted in images; a storage unit that stores registration information containing feature information of registered targets; and a distinction unit that distinguishes, on a basis of a result of identification of the feature information acquired by the acquisition unit and the feature information contained in the registration information, one registered target of the registered targets, the one registered target corresponding to the target in the images. The registration information contains zip codes of sites relating to the registered targets. The distinction unit identifies a zip code of a site relating to the target in the images and zip codes contained in registration information with each other, and distinguishes one registered target corresponding to the target in the images using the result of identification of the feature information and using the identification of the zip codes.

Apparatus, system, methods, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to identify media using hash keys. An example system includes a hybrid hash key analyzer to access a metered hash key of an exposure record obtained from a meter, access reference records representative of respective portions of a plurality of media, and determine reference confirmation data candidates from respective ones of the reference records that include hash keys matching the metered hash key. The example system includes an impression logger to, when first confirmation data associated with the exposure record matches one of the reference confirmation data candidates, store an impression record that associates the media identification data associated with the matching one of the reference confirmation data candidates with a meter identifier of the exposure record. The impression logger also is to credit at least a portion of the media corresponding to the media identification data with an exposure credit.

System and method for displaying an encoded standard-formatted image with information including, but not limited to, geospatial information. This information, possibly in mark-up language format, can be quickly accessed and used to modify the image to which it is appended, or it can be ignored because the image itself remains unchanged.

An apparatus and a method for providing emotional information in an electronic device are provided. At least one content is displayed. Emotional information is extracted from an image obtained via a camera. The emotional information is added to the content.
