An information processing device, an information processing method, and an information processing program capable of reducing an information processing amount of an application processor that recognizes a subject from an input image are provided. An information processing device (100) according to the present disclosure includes an acquisition unit (4), a generation unit (7), and an output unit (6). From an imaging unit that captures an image and generates image data, the acquisition unit (4) acquires the image data. The generation unit (7) generates, from the image data acquired by the acquisition unit (4), metadata to assist an application processor that executes processing related to the image. The output unit (6) outputs the metadata generated by the generation unit (7) to the application processor.

A server presents a first setting screen for entering settings relating to target image data for transmission, transmits the target image data to a cloud service in accordance with the settings, stores the settings associated with a type of the target image data and information of a user, and presents a second setting screen for selecting whether or not to use settings identical to any stored settings for new target image data. When presenting the first setting screen, the server presents it in a state in which, from the stored settings which the user selected to use settings identical to, a type of image data is omitted and settings required for transmission have been reflected. The server stores a type of the new target image data added to and associated with the selected stored settings.

An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to: receive a request to view a document, from a viewing user who views the document; obtain a document file having document information and specification information, the document information describing content of the document, the specification information including multiple figures disposed on the document, the figures having multiple format types, the figures being used to specify areas in the document; obtain user information describing the viewing user; and, in display of the document to the viewing user, determine hidden areas on the basis of a format type associated with the user information in advance, the hidden areas being in the document and being areas in which the content of the document is not displayed.

An image transmitting apparatus is provided that automatically displays an address before transmission if a user gives an instruction for adding a mark such as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “IMPORTANT”. The image transmitting apparatus of the present invention is the image transmitting apparatus transmits image data to a specified address includes an image adding portion that adds a predetermined specific image to the image data in accordance with a user's operation, wherein displays a specified address of image data before transmitting the image data to which it is indicated to add the specific image and transmits the image data with the specific image added in accordance with a user's confirming operation.

A surface object comprises a surface with a boundary, the surface having a background color. At least one optical marker is provided on the surface for assisting of image processing for improving appearance of an image of the surface with the boundary. At least one optical marker includes at least one color which is lighter or darker than the background color and the color different ΔE between the background color and the at least one color of the optical marker being between ΔE=2 and ΔE=18.

Provided is an information processing apparatus including: a marking extraction circuit that extracts, from a script image including a plurality of markings respectively superimposed on a plurality of character strings, the plurality of markings; a same-character-string identification circuit that identifies the same character string out of the plurality of character strings on which the markings are respectively superimposed; and a symbol determination circuit that allocates the same symbol to the same character string and allocates different symbols to different character strings.

A memo and photo authenticating system comprises a multiuser touch input device configured for input by a plurality of users. The memo and photo authenticating system comprises at least one camera communicatively coupled to the multiuser touch input device. The memo and photo authenticating system comprises at least one processor. The memo and photo authenticating system comprises a non-transitory tangible machine readable medium. The non-transitory tangible machine readable medium comprises instructions configured to cause the at least one processor to capture a freehand memo employing the multiuser touch input device, store the freehand memo in a data storage device, capture at least one image of at least one user employing the at least one camera, store the at least one image in the data storage device, and associate the freehand memo with the at least one image of the at least one user in the data storage device.

An example image forming device includes an image input unit to receive a plurality of original documents, and a processor to extract handwriting from the respective original documents to generate a printed layer and a handwritten layer for each of the respective original documents, and to reconfigure the printed layers and a plurality of handwritten layers sharing the printed layers as respective files.

An image forming apparatus that forms an image on a recording medium includes: an image forming unit that forms an image on a recording medium and is capable of forming an image for diagnosis, which is an image used for diagnosis of the image forming apparatus; and an adding unit that adds, to a recording medium on which the image for diagnosis has been formed by the image forming unit, information for control used to control output of a reading result from an apparatus used to read the recording medium, the reading result being obtained by reading the recording medium by the apparatus.

An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to: acquire a result of diagnosis of one image forming apparatus made on a basis of a result of reading of a recording medium on which an image has been formed by the one image forming apparatus and that has been read by another image forming apparatus having an image reading function; acquire other apparatus information, which is information concerning the other image forming apparatus; and generate a screen including both of the result of the diagnosis and the other apparatus information.
