An image processing apparatus includes circuitry to store, in a memory, primary address information indicating an address of a primary mail server and alternate address information indicating one or more addresses of corresponding one or more alternate mail servers. The circuitry performs authentication of a user and transmits, after the authentication succeeds, the e-mail using the primary mail server based on the primary address information, in response to a first transmission request for transmission using the primary mail server. When transmission using the primary mail server fails, the circuitry controls display of a selection screen for selecting one from the one or more alternate mail servers, based on the alternate address information and transmits, in response to a second transmission request for transmission using the alternate mail server, the e-mail using the one selected from the one or more alternate mail servers on the selection screen.

The invention includes a print terminal that prints input image data and outputs the input image data as a print image, and an image storage server that is connected to the print terminal via a public network, and that stores the image data sent from the print terminal and user identification information. The print terminal creates, out of the print image, user identification information based on photographing location information and photographing date/time information included as data in a user identification information image specified by the user. In a case where the print terminal receives a re-input of image data of the user identification information image, the print terminal resends user identification information to the image storage server. In a case where an image directory including the resent user identification information internally exists, the image storage server sends the image data in the image directory to the print terminal.

According to an aspect of the present invention, a method for transmitting omnidirectional video is disclosed. The method of transmitting omnidirectional video according to an embodiment of the present invention includes acquiring an image for the omnidirectional video, projecting the image for the omnidirectional video onto a 3D projection structure, packing the image projected onto the 3D projection structure in a 2D frame, encoding the image packed into the 2D frame, and transmitting a data signal containing the encoded image and metadata about the omnidirectional video.

An image processing system where an image processing apparatus that includes an image data transmitting function and a mobile terminal that includes an electronic mail transmitting function operate to link with each other, the image processing apparatus including: a startup instruction transmitting unit; an image data acquiring unit; a transmission destination designation information acquiring unit; and an image data transmitting unit, and the mobile terminal including: an electronic mail function starting unit that starts up the electronic mail transmitting function and causes a predetermined display unit to display address information; a transmission destination designation information transmitting unit that receives an operation of designating a transmission destination address among the address information and transmit the transmission destination designation information to the image processing apparatus; and an attached file output unit that outputs the image data as an attached file of an electronic mail.

A computing device including a screen; a memory configured to store an application for at least one of image acquisition, image uploading or image editing; and a processor configured to upload at least one of image or video file to a service center via a communication network, provide, in the screen, an option for allowing a first party or a first group to edit, view or download the uploaded image or video file, or append content to the uploaded image or video file based on the application stored in the memory, wherein the content corresponds to a text, titles or captions, and provide, in the screen, the option for allowing a second party or a second group to edit, view or download the uploaded image or video file, or append content to the uploaded image or video file based on the application stored in the memory, wherein the first party's right level or the first group's right level is different from the second party's right level or the second group's right level.

An aircraft computing device providing image information from an aircraft to a party of a terrestrial communication network. The aircraft computing device comprises a processor unit and a storage unit storing program code which, when executed by the processor unit, configures the computing device to receive a sequence of pictures acquired by a camera of the aircraft, output the received pictures towards a user of the aircraft, receive user input, the user input indicating a selection by the user of at least one picture from the sequence of pictures and a party of a terrestrial communication network, and output the at least one picture selected by the user for transmission towards the party of the terrestrial communication network. Further described are a system, an aircraft, a method, a computer program product, and a storage medium.

A handheld computing device for editing images and a method thereof. The handheld computing device can include a screen, a memory for storing an application for at least one of image acquisition, image uploading, and image editing, and a processor. The handheld computing device can receive a notification message from a first external device over a communication network, the notification message containing location information for accessing a specific image, the location information indicating an internet-address of the specific image, access the specific image by using the location information, display the specific image on the screen, and perform an image editing option on the screen to edit the displayed specific image based on the application stored in the memory. Also, the image editing option can include a selection function to determine a portion of the specific image to be edited by selecting at least one position of an upper left corner and a lower right corner of an expandable window on the displayed specific image.

Disclosed are a method and/or a system of an interactive photo booth that is wirelessly paired with a primary mobile device. In one embodiment, a photo booth system includes a transparent touch display, a set of walls on a rear side of the transparent touch display to form a rectangular cavity to project an image on a front side of the transparent touch display. A photo booth application executes on a different operating system language than that of the transparent touch display, and automatically establishes a bidirectional communication channel with the transparent touch display. The image is a two dimensional image that is perceptible to a human eye as being a three dimensional projection encapsulated within the rectangular cavity. A wireless communications circuitry automatically loads a thin client application operating on a first operating system language whenever the transparent touch display is powered.

An image processing system where an image processing apparatus that includes an image data transmitting function and a mobile terminal that includes an electronic mail transmitting function operate to link with each other, the image processing apparatus including: a startup instruction transmitting unit; an image data acquiring unit; a transmission destination designation information acquiring unit; and an image data transmitting unit, and the mobile terminal including: an electronic mail function starting unit that starts up the electronic mail transmitting function and causes a predetermined display unit to display address information; a transmission destination designation information transmitting unit that receives an operation of designating a transmission destination address among the address information and transmit the transmission destination designation information to the image processing apparatus; and an attached file output unit that outputs the image data as an attached file of an electronic mail.
