There is provided with an information processing system including a server apparatus, and a first apparatus and a second apparatus that are able to communicate with the server apparatus. A management unit collects, based on a predetermined reference, each piece of data that is acquired from the first apparatus and is associated with each of a plurality of images and manage the collected data. An image identification unit identifies at least a portion of the plurality of images based on the collected data. A sending unit sends the at least a portion of the plurality of images that is identified by the image identification unit, to the second apparatus.

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

An information processing apparatus includes a locus input unit configured to input a locus based on a user's locus input operation, a display unit configured to display the locus input by the locus input unit on a screen, a locus recognition unit configured to recognize the locus input by the locus input unit, and a display changing unit configured to change, based on a size of the locus input by the locus input unit and the locus recognized by the locus recognition unit, the size of the locus.

Information processing apparatus and information processing method

A plurality of object arrays in which a plurality of objects are sorted under a plurality of order conditions are generated. A display image is generated by sorting the objects in an order for each object array to line up in the first direction for each of the plurality of object arrays, selecting one object of a first object array of the plurality of object arrays as a reference object, and sorting the objects for each of the plurality of object arrays so that the reference object and objects corresponding to the reference object included in the object arrays other than the first object array line up in the second direction.

Display image control apparatus

An object is designated as a designated object. Two or more image data items containing objects each being different from the designated object by an amount smaller than or equal to a first predetermined value are selected from among a specific image data item group. The selected two or more image data items are displayed in two or more display regions provided on a display unit. The objects each being different from the designated object by the amount smaller than or equal to the first predetermined value are defined as main objects, the two or more image data items are adjusted such that differences in position and size of the main objects in the display regions between the two or more image data items are made smaller than or equal to a second predetermined value, and the adjusted two or more image data items are displayed.

A proxy service providing apparatus includes a service search unit adapted to, upon receiving, from a connection device connectable to a network, a request of a service provided by each device connected to the network, search for a providable service to the connection device in accordance with a relationship with the connection device, and a providing unit adapted to replicate and provide the providable service to the connection device based on a search result of said service search unit.

Proxy service providing apparatus, service providing method, and network system

An information processing apparatus comprises, a storage unit configured to store image data and metadata of the image data, a reception unit configured to receive designation of at least two of the image data stored in the storage unit and designation of metadata to be newly added to the designated image data, a first selection unit configured to select, from the image data stored in the storage unit, other image data which has the same metadata as all metadata common to the designated image data, and a control unit configured to add the metadata to be newly added to the metadata of each of the designated image data and the selected other image data and storing the image data in the storage unit.
