Non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing instructions causing image outputting device to execute outputting operation
10516796 · 2019-12-24 · ·

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium stores instructions which cause, when executed by a processor, a computer to obtaining designated data and designated condition information. The designated data includes the image data and, the designated condition information indicates multiple designated parameters respectively corresponding to multiple items constituting an execution condition for an outputting operation. The instructions cause the computer to transmit parameter request information to a server, receive parameter instruction information including recommendable parameters associated with the group identifying information from the server as a response to the parameter request information, cause the image outputting device to execute the outputting operation using the recommendable parameters included in the parameter instruction information as the parameters for the particular items, and using the designated parameters for the other items.

Information collection system and information center
10515113 · 2019-12-24 · ·

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.

Systems and methods of distributing image effects for user experiences
10484547 · 2019-11-19 · ·

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.

User interface methods and apparatus for use in communicating text and photo messages
10466898 · 2019-11-05 · ·

Techniques for use in messaging from a portable communication device having a camera module are described. A first key for causing alphanumeric characters to be sent and a second key for causing a photographic image to be sent are provided on a display. During presentation of the user interface and of the alphanumeric character in a composition portion, a user input indicating selection of the second key is received. In response, a multi-step process is performed, including (a) controlling the camera module to capture the photographic image and (b) send the photographic image.

Storing metadata related to captured images

The present disclosure relates to user-selected metadata related to images captured by a camera of a client device. User-selected metadata may include contextual information and/or information provided by a user when the images are captured. In various implementations, a free form input may be received at a first client device of one or more client devices operated by a user. A task request may be recognized from the free form input, and it may be determined that the task request includes a request to store metadata related to one or more images captured by a camera of the first client device. The metadata may be selected based on content of the task request. The metadata may then be stored, e.g., in association with one or more images captured by the camera, in computer-readable media. The computer-readable media may be searchable by the metadata.

Responding to changes in emotional condition of a user
10398366 · 2019-09-03 · ·

A method comprises monitoring inputs to a device from a user, using the user inputs to track an emotional condition of the user, detecting a change in the tracked emotional condition of the user, and in response to detecting the change, using a camera to capture an image of the user and inserting the image into a content item.

Information processing system, electronic apparatus, information processing apparatus, information processing method, electronic apparatus processing method and non-transitory computer readable medium to confirm difference in meeting contents using sound information
10313536 · 2019-06-04 · ·

An information processing system that that confirms the meanings of difference information in meeting content with reference to the sound information is provided. Differences between meeting content contained in image information of a paper medium taken at each detection cycle and meeting content contained in master information are extracted. Surrounding sounds are recorded while the meeting is being held. The sound information of the recorded sounds is associated with the difference information of the extracted differences and also associated with the master information with the timing when the differences of the meeting content are detected.

Creating a narrative description of media content and applications thereof
10303756 · 2019-05-28 · ·

This invention relates to creating a narrative description of media content. In an embodiment, a computer-implemented method describes content of a group of images. The group of images includes a first image and a second image. A first object in the first image is recognized to determine a first content data. A second object in the second image is recognized to determine a second content data. Finally, a narrative description of the group of images is determined according to a parameterized template and the first and second content data.

Non-transitory computer-readable medium and portable device
10298805 · 2019-05-21 · ·

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having a computer program stored thereon and readable by a computer of a portable device, the computer program, when executed by the computer, causes the portable device to perform operations including: receiving a user operation of designating operation specifying information; instructing an image processing apparatus to execute the image processing operation of a content specified by the operation specifying information; storing history information indicative of an execution history of the receiving and the instructing; extracting, from among a plurality of program identification information, program identification information associated with the extraction condition information coinciding with the stored history information; and displaying the extracted program identification information.
