An image recording apparatus includes an image capturing unit configured to capture an image of a subject, a recording unit configured to record one of still image data and video image data captured by the image capturing unit on a storage medium in the form of an image file, a generating unit configured to generate a management file used for managing the image file recorded on the storage medium, and a registering unit configured to register an identifier of the image file recorded on the storage medium in the management file on a capture date basis in the order of capture time.

A computer-implemented method includes displaying, within a user interface, a view pane having a vertical direction and a horizontal direction, displaying, within the view pane, a plurality of poster frames, each poster frame representing a corresponding media item, a first poster frame being displayed as positioned in a first row extending across the event view pane in the horizontal direction such that the first poster frame is displayed substantially adjacent to a first vertical edge of the event view pane and subsequent poster frames are displayed substantially adjacent to one another in the first row until a poster frame in the first row is displayed substantially adjacent to a second vertical edge of the event view pane, and displaying a next poster frame in a second row vertically displaced from the first row. Photographs in a poster frame can be previewed by moving a cursor across the poster frame.

An information processing apparatus to connect with a printer and a display, includes: a processor to control the printer to print one or more images that are obtained to output one or more printed images, in response to a print request received from a first user; and control the display to display the one or more images that have been printed with the printer, the images being displayed to one or more users other than the first user.

A method for proactively creating a photo product includes storing a library of points of interest in a computer storage, detecting one or more images from a user, automatically extracting image capture locations from the images, automatically comparing the image capture locations with the points of interest in the library to obtain one or more identified points of interest, automatically identifying an occasion based on the identified points of interest in the library, automatically selecting, by the computer processor, a photo product type in part based on the occasion, automatically creating a design of a photo product of the photo product type using one or more images from the user, and manufacturing a physical photo product based on the photo product design.

An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to display an instruction image for accepting an instruction of a user on an operation screen for accepting an operation of the user, and in a case where the user performs an operation of instructing to display a confirmation image for confirming information related to the instruction image, determine one direction based on a distance from the instruction image to ends of the operation screen in an up-down direction and a right-left direction, and perform control so that the confirmation image is displayed in the one direction from a predetermined specific area on the instruction image.

An apparatus including a processor and a user interface unit including a displaying surface (220) and an image sensor array (240) integrated therewith. The image sensor array includes a group of image sensors (340a, 340b, 340c), each image sensor being configured for capturing an image. A first image is captured with each active image sensor of the group of image sensors, a number of images is chosen from the first images and a second image is formed from the chosen images.

In a content management system, a still image generation unit generates at least one piece of still image data based on moving image data. A still image selection unit causes a user to select one piece of still image data from among the generated at least one piece of still image data. A management marker registration unit registers the selected still image data or information based on the selected still image data as a management marker in association with the moving image data. An access key issuing unit issues an access key for accessing the moving image data. And a management image generation unit generates management image data including the still image data and the access key.

An image processing apparatus includes a moving image accepting unit, a detecting unit, an image extracting unit, a screen creating unit, a selection accepting unit, and an image output unit. The screen creating unit creates an operation screen for each of the scenes. The operation screen displays frame images in a list. The frame images constitute each of the scenes extracted by the image extracting unit. The selection accepting unit accepts a selection of a representative image in the operation screen created by the screen creating unit. The representative image represents the scenes among the frame images displayed in the list. The image output unit outputs the representative image accepted by the selection accepting unit.

A method for printing digital images on at least one input roll of media in order to form at least one output roll by means of a roll-to-roll printing system is disclosed. The roll-to-roll printing system includes a digital image queue including an entry for each digital image to be printed. The method includes registering in an entry of the digital image queue a first digital item identifying the digital image and digital items of print properties of the digital image, printing the digital image according to the order of the entry in the digital image queue, and registering in the entry a second digital item identifying an input roll on which the digital image is going to be printed and a third digital item identifying an output roll on which the printed digital image is going to be wound. A roll-to-roll printing system is configured to apply the method.

An image processing apparatus includes a printing instruction unit which instructs printing a plurality of times in which the same print data is printed on a plurality of media; an obtaining unit which obtains the number of printing failures in the printing of a plurality of times; a display unit which displays the number of defective items (low quality), and the number of defective items (incomplete items) by default, and with which it is possible to select whether or not to perform reprinting; and a CPU which controls the printing instruction unit so as to perform reprinting when reprinting is selected in the display unit.
