An example device includes at least one camera and a touchscreen user interface including thumbnail images for a plurality of stored pictures and a first button for a communication operation for sending a picture corresponding to a selected thumbnail image to another 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.

A camera is configured with multiple microphones to reduce wind noise in audio data collected by the camera. The camera receives motion data, which may comprise data indicating acceleration of the camera, a plurality of video frames received by the camera, or a background level of noise associated with one or more microphones configured on the camera. The camera determines a motion vector from the motion data. The motion vector is parallel to the direction of motion of the camera. The camera selects a subset of one or more microphones in the direction of the motion vector. By recording audio data using the one or more selected microphones, the camera reduces wind noise in the audio data.

This disclosure relates to a system and method configured to distribute image effects for user experience events. In some implementation, a user experience event may include making one or more image effects available to one or more users via computing platform associated with the users. In some implementation, an image effect may include one or more of a filter, a sticker, an animation, a text, a video clip, a free form drawing, and/or other effects.

A diagnostic apparatus includes a first acquiring unit that acquires sound information, a second acquiring unit that acquires operation information indicating a component in operation among a plurality of components of an analysis target apparatus, and a display unit that, when the acquired sound information is reproduced, displays operating states of the plurality of components at the time point when the reproduced sound is acquired, using the operation information.

The present invention is to provide a system, a method, and a program for displaying an omnidirectional camera image that enable a plurality of people to see a 360-degree image taken by an omnidirectional camera in their individuals' visions. The system for displaying an omnidirectional camera image 1 includes an image acquisition module 14 that displays a 360-degree image taken by an omnidirectional camera 5 on a plurality of terminals 30 and acquires a 360-degree image taken by the omnidirectional camera 5; an image distribution module 25 that distributes the acquired image to a plurality of user terminals 30; an operation input receiving module 38 that receives an operation input from each user of the terminals 30; and an image display module 39 that displays an arbitrary part of the distributed 360-degree image on a user terminal owned by the each user based on the operation input received from the each user.

A mark information recording apparatus includes an output unit and a recording unit. The output unit is configured to output, for displaying a partial image being a part of an entire image having an arbitrary resolution among entire images generated at a plurality of different resolutions with respect to a single target, the partial image. The recording unit is configured to associate mark information with information on a position within the entire image and information on the resolution of the output partial image and record the mark information.

A diagnostic apparatus includes a first acquiring unit that acquires sound information, a second acquiring unit that acquires operation information indicating a component in operation among a plurality of components of an analysis target apparatus, and a display unit that, when the acquired sound information is reproduced, displays operating states of the plurality of components at the time point when the reproduced sound is acquired, using the operation information.

In a communication system, in which an image forming apparatus and an information processing apparatus are connected via a network and remote maintenance is performed between the image forming apparatus and the information processing apparatus, the image forming apparatus has a wireless communication unit for performing wireless communication with a mobile terminal and determines whether or not remote maintenance using the mobile terminal is possible. In a case that it is determined that the remote maintenance is possible, the image forming apparatus establishes wireless communication with the mobile terminal in response to a connection request from the mobile terminal, and performs input/output of audio data via the mobile terminal with the information processing apparatus.

A method includes receiving a package comprising an image and metadata of the image including ambient condition data, storing the package in a memory, receiving a request for the image, outputting the image in response to the request, determining a context of the request, determining, using the context of the request, a substitute for the ambient condition data, and outputting the substitute for the ambient condition data with the image.
