A method includes displaying, in a first display area, a first display image obtained by reducing a first image, and a second display image obtained by reducing a second image, which has a size different from the first image, displaying, when the first display image is selected, a first intermediate image based on the first image in a second display area, calculating and storing, when the first intermediate image is commanded to be enlarged and moved, the display coordinates of the first intermediate image with respect to an enlargement ratio and a prescribed position, and displaying, when the second display image is selected, a second intermediate image based on the second image and enlarged with respect to a position of the second image, the position corresponding to the prescribed position, in the second display area, according to the stored enlargement ratio and display coordinates.

An information processing apparatus includes a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to receive first print data from a client apparatus, generate at least one first preview image from the first print data for a predetermined period from a start of generation of the at least one first preview image of an initial page of the first print data, transmit the generated at least one first preview image to an image forming apparatus, and generate second print data for generating at least one second preview image that is not generated from the first print data during the predetermined period. The second print data are the first print data from which a page of which the at least one first preview image is generated during the predetermined period is excluded.

Examples dis closed herein relate to displaying, proximate to a hand engagement interface, a plurality of user interface elements, receiving, via a freeform input interface associated with the hand engagement interface, a freeform input from a user, identifying a command associated with a first element of the plurality of user interface elements associated with the freeform input, and updating the display of the plurality of user interface elements according to the command associated with the first element of the plurality of user elements.

An image capturing device includes an imaging device and circuitry. The imaging device captures an image. The circuitry defines a point of interest in the image, converts the defined point of interest in accordance with attitude information of the image capturing device, and cuts out a viewable area from the image. The viewable area includes the converted point of interest.

An image reading system including a blank paper removal function includes a preview display processing unit configured to preview-display at least a portion of an image among images of a read document in a selectable state on a display unit, a display switching unit configured to switch a display mode of an image to a selected state in which a blank paper removal candidate or a non-removal candidate is selected when the image is selected by an operation of an input unit, a data generation unit, and a blank paper removal level setting unit. The data generation unit generates reading data based on remaining image data obtained by removing image data of a blank paper removal target including the confirmed blank paper removal candidate from image data of the document when the selected state is confirmed by an operation of an input unit.

A method for proactively creating an image product includes capturing an image of an object in a first environment by a device, storing a library of personalized products each characterized by a product type, automatically recognizing the object in the image as having a product type associated with the library of personalized products, automatically creating a design for the personalized product of the product type using personalized content, automatically displaying the design of the personalized product of the product type incorporating the selected photo in the first environment on the device, and manufacturing a physical product based on the design of the personalized product.

A display control apparatus includes an acquisition unit that acquires image data, a memory that saves a display time of an image indicated by the image data acquired by the acquisition unit and a display cycle of the image indicated by the image data in association with each other, a setting unit that, if the acquisition unit newly acquires image data, sets the display time and the display cycle of the image indicated by the newly acquired image data, in response to a number of images to be displayed, and the display times and the display cycles of the images to be displayed, a display that causes an external apparatus to display the display time and the display cycle of the image indicated by the newly acquired image data and set by the setting unit, a receiving unit that receives a modification of each of the display time and the display cycle displayed on the external apparatus, and a display controller that causes the display to display the image, indicated by the image data newly acquired by the acquisition unit, in accordance with the display time and the display cycle received by the receiving unit.

A software application platform which provides a user with the ability to customize, via the uploading of digital photographs, the displayable area of a digital photo in an image gallery such that the photo subject for each digital photo is viewable within the image gallery on a graphical user interface is disclosed. Photos, each having a first aspect ratio, uploaded to an image gallery may be processed by the application such that the photo subject and the photo subject area of each digital photo is identified and positioned within an individual display window, each display window having a second aspect ratio, such that the display window displays the photo subject area in an image gallery on a graphical user interface. The application allows for customization to the look and feel of an image gallery while maintaining a display of the photo subject area.

An image scanning device scans one or plural document images of one or plural predetermined head pages, and a preview processing unit performs preview display of the document image(s) of the head page(s). After detecting a user operation to accept the document image on the preview display, the image scanning device scans a document image of a subsequent page to the head page(s), and the image processing unit performs the image process for the document image of the subsequent page. Further, the image processing unit performs a part or whole of the image process for the document image(s) of the head page(s) before the preview display. If a part of the image process is displayed before the preview display, the image processing unit performs a remaining part of the image process after detecting a user operation to accept the document image on the preview display.

An apparatus includes an acquisition unit configured to obtain a signal indicating an address of a pixel in which a change in luminance has occurred and time of the change and a generation unit configured to generate a time-series image indicating a position of at least one pixel in which a change in luminance has occurred and a direction of the change in luminance based on the signal, wherein, when the time-series image is to be displayed in reverse chronological order, the generation unit generates the time-series image in which the direction of the change in luminance is reversed.
