An image processing device comprising a processor configured to: determine presence or absence of a face image for each of a plurality of pieces of image data read from at least one image presenting medium, and decide a relationship for the plurality of pieces of image data, based on a result of the determination. The relationship is a front and back of the image presenting medium or a page order, and the processor is further configured to: decides that image data including a face image is on a front side of the image presenting medium or on a page before image data not including a face image.

A method and system for eliminating contraband in legal postal mail at a correctional facility comprising of a facility-use legal mail scanning station and a network of inmate-accessible devices and or messaging systems such that correctional institution staff can inspect the legal mail for contraband without violating an inmate's right to privacy for such mail. The legal mail is scanned by the staff member or inmate under the supervision of a staff member and then shredded or placed into the inmate's personal property in secure storage. The scanned mail may then be made available to the intended inmate through the inmate-accessible devices or printed at the scanning station to ensure the elimination of contraband.

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

A function extension server includes a communication control unit configured to acquire a first content file and additional information added to the first content file, a first generator configured to encode the additional information to generate a pattern image, and a second generator configured to add the pattern image to the first content file to generate a second content file. The communication control unit executes transmitting the second content file to a printing server that causes a multifunction peripheral to execute printing.

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 image forming system includes a user terminal that includes a terminal-side processor and an image forming apparatus that includes an apparatus-side processor. In response to receiving an instruction to transmit a print request to the image forming apparatus from a user, the terminal-side processor is configured to hold the print request instead of transmitting the print request to the image forming apparatus and is configured to transmit user information indicating the user to the image forming apparatus. The apparatus-side processor is configured to transmit a transmission-request signal to the user terminal in response to detecting, on a basis of the user information, that the user comes near the image forming apparatus. The terminal-side processor is configured to transmit the print request held by the terminal-side processor to the image forming apparatus in response to receiving the transmission-request signal.

A method for providing a custom print product comprises displaying a video that includes an exhibited physical product; comparing feature or attribute data associated with the exhibited product with a feature or attribute associated with the available product; displaying a digital overlay in the video and in association with the displayed exhibited product if the displayed exhibited product corresponds to the available product; allowing for the selection of the digital overlay and then a digital image, wherein the selected digital image is not representative of the displayed exhibited physical product, and wherein the selected digital image is configured to be disposed on a selected physical product representative of the displayed exhibited physical product associated with the selected digital overlay to provide the customized print product.

An image processing device comprising a processor configured to: determine presence or absence of a face image for each of a plurality of pieces of image data read from at least one image presenting medium, and decide a relationship for the plurality of pieces of image data, based on a result of the determination. The relationship is a front and back of the image presenting medium or a page order, and the processor is further configured to: decides that image data including a face image is on a front side of the image presenting medium or on a page before image data not including a face image.

Photographed image acquisition means (201) of an information processing device (20) acquires a photographed image photographed by photographing means (25) capable of photographing a target image including predetermined information. Reference means (202) refers to storage means (200) for storing the target image photographed in the past and information extracted from the target image in the past, in association with each other. Determination means (207) determines whether or not the target image photographed in the past has been captured in the photographed image. Processing execution means (211) executes, when the target image photographed in the past has been captured in the photographed image, predetermined processing based on the information associated with the target image.
