An information processing apparatus that generates a file in a prescribed image file format is provided. The information processing apparatus accepts a designation of a storage condition to be satisfied by image data to be stored in the prescribed image file format, obtains image data, and generates the file such that one or more image data included in the obtained image data and satisfying the storage condition are stored in one of the prescribed image file format and such that image data included in the obtained image data and not satisfying the storage condition is not stored in the one of the prescribed image file format.

Embodiments of the disclosed innovations provide systems and methods for locating data associated with rendered documents. Some embodiments support the use of a handheld document data capture device.

An information processing apparatus, connectable with an image output apparatus, includes circuitry to receive image data of an image from a memory, acquire information of an image placement region of the image output apparatus, the image placement region being variable depending on a type of the image output apparatus, and the image is to be output on the image placement region of the image output apparatus, generate an output image by placing the image within the image placement region based on the image data of the image to be output, and the image placement region of the image output apparatus, and transmit the generated output image to the image output apparatus.

A printer for use in an image forming system including a local area network (LAN) interface for communicating with a server, a printer engine, and an operation unit includes a control unit including a central processing unit (CPU) and a memory such as a random access memory (RAM), and the control unit is capable of performing processing to store a server printing setting flag and notification processing to perform notification to prompt a user to give a setting instruction if an internal time is detected to be initialized and the server printing setting flag is stored.

The present invention relates to a method for uploading a file from a user device (10) to a data storage service (20, 30, 40). According to the method, a category of a set of categories is assigned to the file based on at least one characteristic of the file characterising a content of the file. Furthermore, a data storage service (20, 30, 40) from a set of data storage services is assigned based on the assigned category and the file is uploaded to the assigned data storage service (20, 30, 40).

A method, apparatus, system for image processing is provided that creates an object note for a picture. The method, apparatus or system includes: automatically obtaining picture description information from a picture source, wherein the picture description information at least partly have been formed automatically; obtaining annotation information from at least two object sources, wherein the two object sources are different from the picture sources, automatically fusing the said annotation information from the two object sources to form fused annotation information, and attaching said fused annotation information to the picture to create the object note for the picture.

Synchronization techniques with state transformation are described. The synchronization techniques may include storing a data object and metadata associated with the data object at a computing device. The data object can be stored in a first representative state at the computing device. The techniques may further involve receiving user input to synchronize the data object into a second representative state at a remote computing device, automatically transforming the data object from the first representative state into the second representative state, and synchronizing the data object to a remote data object stored at the remote computing device. The remote data object can be stored in the second representative state at the remote computing device.

Each of vehicles acquires its own position, and transmits an image of a nearby outside taken by an own camera and a piece of information of the own position. An information center communicatable wirelessly with the vehicles receives the images and the pieces of information of the vehicles' positions transmitted by the vehicles, and recognizes pieces of first character information appearing in the received images, respectively. Based on the received pieces of information of the vehicles' positions as well as at least either points of interest or areas stored as collection target information, the information center determines at least either points of interest or areas for the recognized pieces of first character information, respectively, and stores association information where the pieces of first character information are associated with the determined at least either points of interest or areas.

An image processing method includes: obtaining, a first image by a camera, and a first lens position by a position sensor at a first timestamp; obtaining, by an inertial measurement unit sensor, an IMU signal indicating a movement of the camera between the first timestamp and a second timestamp; obtaining, a second image by the camera, and a second lens position by the position sensor at the second timestamp; calculating, by a processing circuit, a relative geometry value of the first image and the second image according to the first lens position, the second lens position, and the IMU signal; and performing, by the processing circuit, a depth calculation to the first image and the second image based on the relative geometry value on the condition that the relative geometry value meets a geometry threshold.
