A method for controlling an image forming apparatus can include receiving page description language (PDL) data including print data of a document to be output, attribute data, of the document, and voice data of the document from an external apparatus. The method can include outputting the voice data of the received PDL data via a speaker.

A digital camera with a printer is a digital camera with a printer and includes a communication unit that communicates with a digital camera with a printer that is another apparatus, and an image composition unit that generates a composite image in which a first image captured by the digital camera with a printer that is an owned apparatus and a second image captured by the other apparatus are composited, in which the communication unit transmits the composite image to the other apparatus. A user of the other apparatus can also obtain the composite image. Accordingly, the composite image can be enjoyed by capturing images using a plurality of cameras.

There is provided an imaging apparatus including a user interface control section. The user interface control section performs a process of displaying a plurality of images in a stacked form as a first display mode of an image group including the plurality of images, a process of individually displaying each of the plurality of images as a second display mode of the image group, and a process of detecting an operation of recording a voice note corresponding to a selected image selected in the second display mode.

The present disclosure provides systems and methods that use and/or generate image files according to a novel microvideo image format. For example, a microvideo can be a file that contains both a still image and a brief video. The microvideo can include multiple tracks, such as, for example, a separate video track, audio track, and/or one or more metadata tracks. As one example track, the microvideo can include a motion data track that stores motion data that can be used (e.g., at file runtime) to stabilize the video frames. A microvideo generation system included in an image capture device can determine a trimming of the video on-the-fly as the image capture device captures the microvideo.

An information processing device, an image processing method and a computer readable medium storing program code for information processing are discloses. In one example, an information processing device comprises a controller configured to transmit a file group including an image file and a related file associated with the image file, and perform second transmission processing to transmit the image file in a case where first transmission processing to transmit the related file is completed.

There is provided an imaging apparatus including: a sound processing unit that performs processing with respect to a sound signal input through a microphone; and a control unit that separately controls a parameter related to processing of the sound signal at a time of recording of a captured image when the sound data processed by the sound processing unit is recorded together with image data obtained by imaging through an imaging unit and a time of recording a sound memo when the sound data processed by the sound processing unit is recorded as the sound memo.

A computing device comprising a processor, the processor configured to: receive, from an image capture system, an image captured in an environment and image metadata associated with the image, the image metadata comprising an image capture time; receive a sound recognition message from a sound recognition module, the sound recognition message comprising (i) a sound recognition identifier indicating a target sound or scene that has been recognised based on captured audio data captured in the environment, and (ii) time information associated with the sound recognition identifier; detect that the target sound or scene occurred at a time that the image was captured based on the image metadata and the time information in the sound recognition message; and output a camera control command to said image capture system based on said detection.

A digital camera with a printer is a digital camera with a printer and includes a communication unit that communicates with a digital camera with a printer that is another apparatus, and an image composition unit that generates a composite image in which a first image captured by the digital camera with a printer that is an owned apparatus and a second image captured by the other apparatus are composited, in which the communication unit transmits the composite image to the other apparatus. A user of the other apparatus can also obtain the composite image. Accordingly, the composite image can be enjoyed by capturing images using a plurality of cameras.

An information processing system that that confirms the meanings of difference information in meeting content with reference to the sound information is provided. Differences between meeting content contained in image information of a paper medium taken at each detection cycle and meeting content contained in master information are extracted. Surrounding sounds are recorded while the meeting is being held. The sound information of the recorded sounds is associated with the difference information of the extracted differences and also associated with the master information with the timing when the differences of the meeting content are detected.

A camera, having: microphones including: a first microphone; and a second microphone. The camera including a sensor controller. The sensor controller being configured to receive audio, select between the microphones, and record the audio. The sensor controller receives the audio inputs from the first microphone and the second microphone. The sensor controller selects the first microphone or the second microphone based on the audio inputs so that one of the first and second microphones is a selected microphone, wherein the selected microphone receives the audio input having the lowest level of background noise within a predetermined frequency range associated with background noise. The sensor controller records audio data from only the selected microphone.
