An information input apparatus comprising circuitry to receive input of a handwritten line from an operator, in response to completion of the input of the handwritten line, present one or more straight line candidates inferred based on the handwritten line, provide a user interface (UI) that allows the operator to select one of the one or more straight line candidates, and replace the handwritten line with one of the one or more straight line candidates selected by the operator.

Information input apparatus, method for controlling information input apparatus, and non-transitory recording medium

An electronic whiteboard includes a power button, a display device, and circuitry that implements processes of detecting an operation of the power button being turned off, storing at least a part of visible information displayed on the display device from a time the power button was turned on until a time the power button was turned off in a first storage device upon detecting that the power button has been turned off, determining whether to display the visible information stored in the first storage device on the display device based on a first time corresponding to a power-on time recorded when the power button was turned on and a second time corresponding to the power-off time recorded immediately before the first time when the power button was turned off, and controlling the display device to display the stored visible information upon determining to display the stored visible information.

Electronic whiteboard, program, and information processing method

An image processing apparatus includes an event acquisition unit that acquires a pen event based on an operation on a screen; a drawing-click determining unit that determines whether the pen event is an event concerning a stroke of a dot image or concerning a click operation; and a countdown timer that starts clocking when the drawing-click determining unit receives a determination-target pen event to determine, wherein the drawing-click determining unit determines that the determination-target pen event is an event concerning a stroke of a dot image when the clocking has ended and the event acquisition unit has acquired a pen event concerning another stroke, or when an elapsed time from an end of a pen event concerning another stroke acquired prior to the determination-target pen event is within a certain period of time.

Image processing apparatus, image processing system, and image processing method

An electronic information board apparatus includes: a guide generating unit configured to display a handwriting region on a screen; a coordinate detecting unit configured to detect coordinates of an indication body moving in the handwriting region on the screen; an image drawing unit configured to generate a stroke image based on the coordinates and display the generated stroke image in the handwriting region on a first layer of the screen; a character recognizing unit configured to execute character recognition based on a hand-written image that is hand-written inside the handwriting region and outputs text data; and a display superimposing unit configured to display the text data acquired from the character recognizing unit at a position that is approximately the same as that of the hand-written image that is hand-written inside the handwriting region on the screen, and on a second layer of the screen different from the first layer.

Electronic information board apparatus, information processing method, and computer program product

An electronic information board apparatus includes an extraction part configured to extract an operation area from an image input to the electronic information board; a display part configured to reconfigure the extracted operation area and display the reconfigured operation area at a predetermined position of a display screen; a correlation part configured to correlate the coordinates of the operation area and the coordinates of the reconfigured operation area; and a conversion part configured to convert an operation on the coordinates of the reconfigured operation area into an operation on the coordinates of the operation area.

Electronic information board apparatus, that displays image input from external apparatus

An image processing apparatus includes a first display unit that displays a video input on an operation and display unit, a second display unit that displays an input image that is superimposed on the video input displayed on the operation and display unit, and a captured image recording unit that records a captured image of the video input and the input image that are displayed on the operation and display unit. The second display unit erases the input image that is recorded when the captured image recording unit records the captured image of the input image.

Image processing apparatus, image processing system, image processing method, and computer-readable storage medium

An image processing apparatus includes a synthesizing unit which synthesizes a drawn image drawn on a displayed image on a display device with the displayed image; a content data receiving unit which receives content data; a content data conversion unit which converts the received content data to image data; an external snapshot generation unit which generates an external snapshot to be displayed on the display unit based on the converted image data and stores the external snapshot in a storage unit; and a display control unit which displays the synthesized image by the synthesizing unit on the display device and also displays an object corresponding to the external snapshot in a selectable manner so that the external snapshot is displayed on the display device when the object is selected.

Image processing apparatus and image processing system

An information processing apparatus is disclosed that that acquires image/audio information in response to an operations command and generates predetermined electronic data from the acquired information. The information processing apparatus includes a user information storing unit that stores and manages information for identifying an operator issuing the operations command, a personal information storing unit that stores and manages personal information of the operator, a gathering information storing unit that stores or describes a personal information managing service managing personal information that is subject to processing, and an information extracting unit that analyzes the personal information managing service of the gathering information storing unit and extracts relevant personal information from the personal information of the operator stored in the personal information storing unit corresponding to the personal information managing service.

Information processing apparatus, information recording system, information recording method, and computer-readable medium storing program

An information processing apparatus includes a storing unit configured to store a past history storing table for storing information indicating operations performed on one or more electronic files.

Information processing apparatus

A document classification system and method reflects operator's intention in a result of classification of document so that an accurate result of classification can be achieved. The document to be classifies has contents contains a plurality of items. At least one of the items contained in the document is designated. The document data is converted into converted data so that the converted data contains only data corresponding to the designated item. Classification of the document is done by using the converted data.
