An electronic device, such as a digital camera, includes a deletion mode whereby a camera/electronic device user can delete captured images or data files that have already been transferred in order to make room in the electronic device or digital camera memory for capturing further images. In one embodiment, a digital camera keeps track of which images have already been transferred to an external storage device and presents those to the user as potential images to be deleted. In another embodiment, the user is presented with a delete all transferred images which when selected deletes all the captured images that have already been transferred. In still another embodiment, deletion criteria are used to prioritize which images are deleted first.

A device, method and program may properly perform gamut conversion of content and be applied to a gamut conversion device. A restoration conversion state confirming unit performs confirmation such as gamut conversion state of image data read out from an optical disc and the existence or not of restoration metadata. An information exchange unit communicates with an output device via a communication unit and performs information exchange such as the existence or not of restoration processing functionality and gamut conversion functionality and the like. A determining unit determines whether or not restoration processing is performed with a playing device based on information obtained by the restoration conversion state confirming unit and the information exchange unit. Similarly, the determining unit determines whether or not to perform gamut conversion processing with the playing device based on information obtained by the restoration conversion state confirming unit and the information exchange unit.

A printing apparatus which is capable of easily issuing an instruction to execute a print job in another file stored at the same storage location without the need to perform a complicated registration operation. The printing apparatus executes a job for printing data based on print settings received from a user. The printing apparatus stores print settings of the job and information indicating a storage location of data printed through execution of the job as a history. The printing apparatus display a selection screen in which a user selects data to be printed from data stored at the storage location when reading the print settings stored.

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.

An image processing method includes: (a) displaying a plurality of candidate image processes to be performed on image data, the plurality of candidate image processes including a color modification process; (b) receiving an instruction indicating the color modification process selected from among the plurality of candidate image processes; (c) displaying a display image corresponding to the image data on the display; (d) designating a display image; and (e) displaying a processed display image that represents a result of the selected color modification process performed on the image data corresponding to the designated display image before the selected color modification process on the image data corresponding to the designated display image is performed.

The present disclosure relates to a method and a system for marking multimedia files with file-marks and manipulating multimedia file(s) with the help of file-marks. In an embodiment, the present disclosure provides a method to link searchable keywords and tags to each of the file-marks. Each user of the multimedia file can define an index of file-marks with associated keywords and tags. The user of the multimedia file is provided with an option to play highlights created by a chosen set of users. One or more actions are initiated at the time of file-marking, associating the keywords and tags with a file-mark or at the time of manipulating the file-marked multimedia file. It also provides a method for facilitating file-marking one or more media files by one or more external file-marking device(s). Further, disclosure presents methods to efficiently encode and decode a multimedia file with highlights.

A document management facility may process volumes of physical documents for digital imaging. The document management facility may utilize robotic apparatus to perform the various functions for processing the documents, which may include document intake, document storage, document digitization, and/or document removal. Digital versions of the documents may be accessed with a document management system.

Provided are an image analysis apparatus, an image analysis system, an image analysis method, a program, and a recording medium for supporting a user who reads a printed matter and uses data of a read image.

An image analysis apparatus includes a processor, in which the processor executes a process of reading a printed matter on which a captured image is printed to acquire image data of a read image, a process of analyzing a first content related to reading of the printed matter based on the image data, and a process of acquiring first support information based on an analysis result of the first content.
