A computer-implemented method for recommending at least one substrate to be used in conjunction with a digital image to form a print product includes: providing a digital image; providing a list of available substrates stored in a memory; utilizing a processor, allowing for the selection of at least one of a size of substrate to be used to form a print product or a display location for the print product; automatically identifying at least one substrate from the list of available substrates utilizing the processor based on at least one of the selected substrate size or the selected display location; displaying the identified at least one substrate on a display; and allowing for the selection of the identified at least one substrate for fulfillment to produce the print product including the digital image disposed on the selected at least one substrate.

A display apparatus transmits a picture acquisition request for getting picture information to an external image apparatus connected through a predetermined interface to the display apparatus from the external image apparatus at predetermined intervals and gets a plurality of pieces of picture information from the external image apparatus to be displayed. The plurality of pictures may be switched at predetermined intervals, for example, to be displayed, so that the plurality of pictures may be displayed in a so-called slide show manner. A plurality of pictures for thumbnail may be produced from the plurality of pieces of picture information and be arranged together to be displayed in one picture screen of a display device.

An information processing device includes a display, a communicator, and a controller, in which the controller acquires destination information managed by a terminal device via the communicator and displays the acquired destination information on the display in accordance with its priority level.

Methods and systems for printing on a print device from both authorized users and guest users are disclosed. The methods include configuring the print device to execute document processing jobs from both authorized users and guest users based on a rule set. The method also includes receiving a request to initiate a document processing session on the print device, initiating the kiosk mode session for executing paid document processing jobs by outputting a kiosk mode user interface that is configured to allow the guest user to submit requests for paid document processing jobs, receiving a request for executing a document processing job via the kiosk mode user interface, causing the print device to execute the document processing job, and causing a payment processing service associated with the guest user to render payment for executing the document processing job.

An apparatus includes a recognition unit configured to recognize a function included in a communication partner and a determination unit configured to determine processing, which the communication partner performs on transmission data, according to the recognized function and a type of the transmission data.

A system and method for designing and printing fantasy draft board posters using a client computer communicating with a host computer. The host computer provides a design interface to a user, and the user selects a template design. The template design requires a user to input a variety of client-defined material with a header, and select the number of teams and rounds. The client-defined material is displayed actively on a scratch pad image, and determines the dimensions of the final format of the draft board poster. The final print image file for the poster is then created and printed.

A terminal apparatus performs: receiving a first selection operation of selecting a shot image; acquiring a first characteristic amount relating to a shape of at least one of the shot image and an object included in the shot image; acquiring a second characteristic amount relating to a shape of a frame included in each of a plurality of templates; controlling a display to display a selection screen for selecting one template, the selection screen showing, as a particular template, a template including a frame of the second characteristic amount indicative of a shape corresponding to the first characteristic amount such that the particular template is distinguishable from a template other than the particular template; receiving a second selection operation of selecting a selection template on the selection screen; creating a composite image by combining the shot image with a frame included in the selection template; and outputting the composite image.

A method for recognizing faces including providing image/s in which a face is to be recognized; using a processor for constructing biometric feature set/s, including a statistical distribution thereof, from a multiplicity of N facial images (samples); generating template/s, using a processor, from a multiplicity of M facial images which is at least partly disjoint to the N facial images; computing scores, using a processor, to quantify an extent to which at least some of the templates match one another, pairwise; and testing whether an enroll image and a test image match by using plural feature extraction technologies to generate plural respective templates for the enroll image and for the test image and comparing therebetween thereby to generate score/s indicating an extent to which the enroll and test images match.
