A server includes a photo filter module with instructions executed by a processor to identify when a client device captures a photograph. Photograph filters are selected based upon attributes of the client device and attributes of the photograph. The photograph filters are supplied to the client device.

An image management apparatus controls a display of a captured image, the apparatus being connected to a communication terminal through a network. The apparatus includes a receiver and circuitry. The receiver receives, from the communication terminal, an instruction for displaying a drawn image drawn by a user on a captured image while the captured image is being displayed to the user, the captured image being a full spherical panoramic image. The circuitry generates an attachment image containing the drawn image, and attaches the attachment image containing the drawn image to the captured image, the attachment image containing the drawn image being a planar image.

This invention provides an information distribution system comprising an image data processing device (11), a server (12), and a portable telephone unit (15 having image data acquisition means for acquiring image data with a destination address attached thereto and display means for displaying the image data, wherein the image data is distributed from the image data processing device (11) to the portable telephone unit (15), and advertisement information based on user information is extracted from an advertisement information storage unit (29) and appended to image/text data by an advertisement information appending unit (30) provided in the server 12.

An information processing apparatus includes an output unit. When pieces of additional information are extracted, the pieces of additional information being disposed in copies of an identical image and satisfying a predetermined condition, the output unit outputs data in which combined additional information is disposed in the image. The combined additional information is information in which the pieces of additional information are combined.

A printed document manager manages printed documents associated with respective electronic documents. When a document is printed, a graphical symbol referred to as a postmark is generated and inserted into the print stream so the postmark is printed on the hard copy of the document. The printed document is logged in a printed document store along with metadata associated with the printed document. The postmark on the printed document can be used for one or more purposes, such as to determine whether the printed document is current, to locate the corresponding print image in the printed document store, to locate the corresponding electronic document in the document management system, to automatically file a hand-notated version of the printed document, and to determine whether the printed document can be shredded after use. The printed document manager thus provides a way to effectively manage printed documents.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium recording a display control program which makes a processor operations of: obtaining image information imaged by an imaging circuit; determining whether or not a given shape is included in the obtained image information; outputting an instruction to increase processing power of the processor when the given shape is included; referring to a first storage configured to store a plurality of reference images, and determining whether or not the plurality of reference images include a reference image corresponding to an image inside the given shape; when the reference image corresponding to the image inside the shape is included, referring to a second storage configured to store an object in association with the reference image, and identifying the object associated with the reference image corresponding to the image inside the shape; and displaying the identified object on a display.

An information processing device and an information processing method capable of reducing an information processing amount of an application processor that recognizes a subject from an input image are provided. An information processing device according to the present disclosure includes an acquisition unit, a generation unit, and an output unit. From an imaging unit that captures an image and generates image data, the acquisition unit acquires the image data. The generation unit generates, from the image data acquired by the acquisition unit, metadata to assist an application processor that executes processing related to the image. The output unit outputs the metadata generated by the generation unit to the application processor.

This information display system includes an image forming apparatus and a mobile terminal device. The image forming apparatus includes a second-generation image information generator, an image information mark generator, and an image formation controller. The second-generation image information generator creates image information of a second generation document associated with a first generation document based on user information accepted by an input accepting section and the first generation document read by a first reading unit. The image information mark generator creates an image information mark containing the image information of the second generation document, which is created by the second generation image information generator, incorporated in the image of the first generation document. The image formation controller performs control operations to form the image information mark created by the image information mark generator over the first generation document loaded on a document loading unit using an image forming unit.

A document verification system may verify modification to a physical document through digital image processing. Imaging sensors capture images of a modified physical document. A digital image processing circuit measures pixel parameters for a plurality of regions of the digital images for comparison to a verification pattern to verify the document.

This specification discloses a more convenient image processing apparatus capable of printing a document in a document management server. More specifically, the image processing apparatus is a digital multifunction peripheral having a display unit which lists and displays documents managed in the document management server, and a printer which selectively prints displayed documents. A controller unit compares print settings added to the documents managed in the document management server with the printing functions of the printer, and masks and displays a document (1000) to which a print setting unimplementable by the printing functions of the printer is added, thereby easily identifying the document (1000) from other documents (1001, 1002).
