The second information processing apparatus is configured to: display a second synchronous image; in response to a first request, switch from the synchronous state to the asynchronous state; and in response to a second request, switch from the asynchronous state to the synchronous state.

Information processing method and information processing system

An information processing apparatus includes a circuitry configured to provide a slide image including a sample image and a label image which are obtained by shooting a slide, generate a first image that a specific area of the slide image is concealed, output a thumbnail image, wherein the thumbnail image is one of the slide image and the first image.

Information processing apparatus, information processing system, and information processing method

An information processing apparatus is provided comprising a processor; and a memory device storing instructions. When executed by the processor, the instructions cause the processor to generate scene information to reproduce display of at least one selected area of a pathological image; and receive order information corresponding to the scene information based on a user input. In another embodiment, the instructions cause the processor to receive scene information to display at least one selected area of a pathological image and order information corresponding to an order of the scene information; and control display of the at least one selected area of the pathological image in the order based on the scene information and the order information.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method

An information processing apparatus includes a storage unit and an output unit. The storage unit is capable of storing an image of a slide including both images of a sample and a label, which are obtained by shooting the slide. The slide holds the sample and has a front surface on which the label indicating label information relating to the sample is provided. The output unit is capable of outputting the image of the slide as a thumbnail image.

An information processing apparatus, an information processing system, and a method of processing information are provided. In one embodiment, the information processing apparatus includes a processor, and a memory device storing instructions. When executed by the processor, the instructions cause the processor to receive, from a first information processing apparatus, area specifying information and location information, the area specifying information specifying a display area in an image, the display area including a plurality of partial images, the location information indicating at least one location of the plurality of partial images. The instructions further cause the processor to transmit, to a second information processing apparatus, the area specifying information and the location information.

Processing apparatus, system, method and program for processing information to be shared

An information processing apparatus includes a memory and a control unit. The memory stores a first image. The control unit divides the first image into a plurality of regions. Further, the control unit calculates a likelihood of an existence of a sample in the plurality of regions thus divided for each of the plurality of regions. Further, the control unit generates an existence map based on the calculated likelihood, the existence map having the plurality of regions classified into first regions, second regions, and third regions. Further, the control unit generates imaging sequence information based on the generated existence map, the imaging sequence information indicating imaging sequences such that the first regions are imaged prior to the second regions and a total movement distance of a stage for imaging the first and second regions becomes minimum.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, program, and recording medium

An image management server is provided including a microscopic image acquisition portion acquiring a microscopic image of a sample made of a plurality of tile images picked up by a microscope before placing the acquired microscopic image into a predetermined storage area. The image management server also includes a meta information creation portion creating meta information determining the microscopic image according to a result of data analysis acquired by the microscopic image acquisition portion; an image provision processing portion providing the meta information and the microscopic image to an image display apparatus in response to a request from the image display apparatus capable of viewing microscopic images. The image management server also includes a provided image prediction portion predicting the tile image highly likely to be requested by the image display apparatus based on hint information which is transmitted from the image display apparatus and which represents content of a microscopic image display process performed by the image display apparatus.
