An imaged image obtaining section obtains an imaged image from a camera. A face recognizing section detects the face images of a plurality of users in the imaged image. A display user determining section has a function of determining a user to be included in a display image. When an instruction receiving section receives a changing instruction, the display user determining section changes a user included in the display image. A face image clipping section clips a region including the face image of the determined user from the imaged image. A display image generating section generates the display image including the clipped region.

Information processing device

An information processing device includes an imaged image display section configured to display an imaged image on a display, a registered user information retaining section configured to retain face identifying data of a registered user, a face authenticating section configured to detect a face image of the registered user present in the imaged image using the face identifying data retained in the registered user information retaining section, a region image display section configured to display, to the detected registered user, a region image specifying a region to which to move an object on the display, and a guidance control section configured to provide guiding assistance for facilitating the detected registered user moving the object to the region specified by the region image.

Information processing device, login control method and program

A replay data acquisition section acquires replay data for reproducing a play status of a game. A replay image generation section generates a replay image of a game scene on the basis of the acquired replay data. A user determination section determines a user to be included in a combined image. A user image acquisition section acquires a user image obtained by imaging the determined user. A combination processing section generates the combined image by combining the acquired user image with the replay image.

Program and information processing device

A picked up image displaying unit displays a picked up image on a display unit. A face authentication unit detects a face image of a registered user existing in the picked up image using face identification data retained in a registered user information retaining block. A position designation image processing unit displays a position designation image for designating a position of an object for the detected registered user on the display unit. An object authentication unit detects that an object image is included in the region designated by the position designation image.

Information processing apparatus

An image obtaining sectionobtains an imaged image from an imaging device. A face authenticating sectiondetects a face image of a registered user present in the imaged image using face identifying data retained in a registered user information retaining section. A damage determining sectiondetermines whether or not the face identifying data read from the registered user information retaining sectionby a face data reading sectionis damaged. If the face identifying data is determined to be damaged, a notifying sectionnotifies that the face identifying data is damaged.

A taken-image display unit displays a taken image on a display. By use of face identification data held in a registered user information holding section, a face authentication unit detects a face image of a registered user existing in a taken image. A face frame processing unit displays a face frame on the display for the detected registered user. If, when the face frame is being displayed, the face authentication unit detects by use of the face identification data held in the user information holding section that the face image of the registered user is included in the face frame, a login processing unit lets this user log in.
