An image processing apparatus has a data reading section, a controlling section, and a display section. The data reading section reads a reproduced file selected from a first file and a second file. Here, the first file includes data of a first image together with metadata indicating a location of a second image related to the first image. The second file includes the data of the first image but do not include the metadata. The controlling section detects the metadata from the reproduced file. The display section performs display of indicating existence of the second image on a first screen reproducing the first image of the reproduced file when the controlling section detects the metadata.

Systems and methods for generating certified images, annotations, and incident reports are disclosed. A media capture device can be used to capture a media asset and related metadata. The image and its metadata can then be certified upon capture so that it can be verified as authentic and unaltered after certification. The certified media asset can then be included in or as a part of an incident report, which may optionally align multiple media assets along a path based on location and time of capture. The report may itself be certified and synchronized with a cloud server system.

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 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.

A management apparatus includes a memory, and a processor coupled to the memory and configured to calculate position information of a device based on a distance measurement result with respect to the device, and determine a worker who is to be responsible for the device based on position information of the worker and the calculated position information of the device. The distance measurement result is measured by each of three or more network devices that communicate with the device, and the position information of the worker is received from a terminal device that is assigned to the worker.

An imaging device includes an imaging portion that images a subject; a positional information acquisition portion that acquires positional information of an imaging position; a control portion which acquires information on the subject based on the positional information, and displays image data of the subject and the information on the subject on a display portion; and a hold control portion that outputs a hold control signal, which holds the image data of the subject and the information on the subject, to the control portion.

A portable information device includes: an image sensor; a position information acquisition portion that outputs position information; an orientation sensor; and a display that displays an image of an object output from the image sensor and displays relevant information on the object, the relevant information on the object being obtained based on at least measurement data from the position information acquisition portion and the orientation sensor.

A handheld electronic device, such as a GPS-enabled wireless communications device with an embedded camera, a GPS-enabled camera-phone or a GPS-enabled digital camera, determines whether ephemeris data needs to be obtained for geotagging digital photos taken with the device. By monitoring user activity with respect to the camera, such as activation of the camera, the device can begin pre-acquisition of a GPS position fix by obtaining needed ephemeris data before the photograph is actually taken. This GPS pre-acquisition improves the likelihood that a position fix (GPS lock) is achieved by the time the photo is taken (to enable immediate geotagging). Alternatively, the photo can be geotagged retroactively by appending the current location to the metadata tag associated with the digital photo. An optional acquisition status indicator can be displayed on a user interface of the device to indicate that a position fix is being obtained.

Systems and methods are provided though which a transaction, e.g., in a multi-tier, distributed application may be initiated from a portable or hand-held device, such as a smartphone. A computer system or systems, possibly remote from the device, may approve the transaction, complete it, or both, and the remote computer system or systems may cause a document to be printed, e.g., by a printer physically proximate to the device.

Aspects of the invention are illustrated by embodiments in which a drug prescription may be created electronically using a hand-held device. In such an embodiment, the prescription may be transmitted to one or more remote computer systems, such as an application server, for processing. If specified, the remote computer systems may cause a prescription to be printed, e.g., at a printer near the prescriber's location. The prescriber may sign the printed prescription and give it to a patient or pharmacy.

A camera information calculation device includes a hardware processor. The hardware processor functions as a first calculation unit and a second calculation unit. The first calculation unit calculates, based on a first image and a first video, first camera positional information indicating a position of a first camera. The first image includes a first object taken by the first camera. The first video includes the first object taken by a third camera. The second calculation unit calculates, based on a second image and a second video, second camera positional information indicating a position of a second camera disposed away from the first camera. The second image includes a second object taken by the second camera. The second video includes the second object taken by the third camera.
