An information processing apparatus includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire restriction information about imaging functions from an imaging device connected to a network, a setting control unit configured to display a setting window in which after a parameter for one imaging function is selected, selectable parameters for other imaging functions are restricted in accordance with the selected parameter on the basis of the restriction information so that the imaging functions to be used are selected, and an information processing unit configured to acquire image information about an image captured using the selected imaging functions via the network.

A method and device for encoding a captured screenshot and controlling program switching on an electronic device based on the captured screenshot. The method includes the electronic device performing: capturing from a display a screenshot of a playing program or display content with a stored image data frame; encoding the image data frame of the screenshot, afterwards storing the encoded image data frame of the screenshot; retrieving program information data of the screenshot from a program database; embedding retrieved program information data of the captured screenshot into the encoded image data frame to form an embedded encoded image file. The embedded encoded image file enables the first electronic device or a second electronic device to directly switching to start playing the program or displaying the content on the electronic device according to the captured screenshot.

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.

An image forming system includes: an image forming apparatus including an image forming unit for forming an image on a sheet, an image reading unit for reading a sheet surface and generating a scan image, an image inspection unit for detecting abnormalities within the scan image, and a history generating unit for generating detection information of each of the abnormalities and generating a history image by embedding the detection information in the scan image; a storage device for storing the history image; and a user terminal for displaying an abnormality detection result and inputting a user's evaluation of the abnormality detection result, wherein the image forming apparatus further includes a parameter setting unit for finally determining the abnormalities depending on the user's evaluation, and determining and setting abnormality detection parameters such that the abnormalities finally determined are detected, and the abnormalities not finally determined are not detected.

There is provided an imaging apparatus including a user interface control section. The user interface control section performs a process of displaying a plurality of images in a stacked form as a first display mode of an image group including the plurality of images, a process of individually displaying each of the plurality of images as a second display mode of the image group, and a process of detecting an operation of recording a voice note corresponding to a selected image selected in the second display mode.

The present disclosure relates to a an electronic device such as a digital camera 300 that 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 keep 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, a deletion criteria is used to prioritize which images are deleted first.

Tools are provided including intelligent provisions to perform processing of mail at a mailcenter that services plural mail service customers, such as, for example, adapted based on metrics and analytics derived from previous mail processing.

An image processing device includes a rotation processor and an image processor. The rotation processor receives an input image and generates a temporary image according to the input image. The image processor is coupled to the rotation processor and outputs a processed image according to the temporary image, wherein the image processor has a predetermined image processing width, a width of the input image is larger than the predetermined image processing width, and a width of the temporary image is less than the predetermined image processing width.
