An image processing apparatus includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire images each of which is an image having a first data amount acquired through image-capturing, a detection unit configured to detect an attention target in each of the images, a specification unit configured to specify a geographical range based on a geographical position where the detected attention target exists, and a conversion unit configured to convert an image of at least a part of the images into an image having a second data amount that is smaller than the first data amount according to an inclusion relationship between the specified geographical range and a geographical position where each of the images having the first data amount is acquired.

Image processing apparatus, image processing method, and storage medium

When a first frame included in a moving image satisfies a predetermined condition about a predetermined feature quantity, a second frame is analyzed and a candidate frame is selected from the first frame and the second frame as a candidate of an output target based on a result of analysis of the first frame and a result of analysis of the second frame.

An information processing apparatus operable to decide an item related to an image or image capturing for a recommendation to a user, the apparatus obtains image attribute information, derives image group attribute information for an image group including a plurality of images based on the image attribute information, compares image group attribute information derived for a first image group including images captured in a first time range and image group attribute information derived for a second image group including images captured in a second time range different to the first time range, and decides the item for the recommendation to the user in accordance with a result of the comparison.

Information processing apparatus, method of controlling the same, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium

The apparatus displays a standard image capturing screen for capturing an image using a first image capturing unit in the case where an operation of a release member has been detected while a standard playback screen for performing playback using a first playback unit is being displayed, and, in the case where an operation of the release member has been detected while a predetermined image capturing screen for capturing an image using a second image capturing unit is not being displayed and a screen of the predetermined application is being displayed, displays the predetermined image capturing screen.

Image capturing apparatus including release member, control method thereof, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium

An object display apparatus displays a plurality of object at respective display positions, and receive a designation to set one of the plurality of displayed object as an object of interest. Upon reception of an addition or deletion instruction of one or more objects with respect to the plurality of displayed objects, a display of the objects is updated by moving object other than the object of interest while keeping the display position of the designated object of interest.

Object display apparatus and control method thereof

An image layout device including an image alignment unit configured to align an image included in an image group based on an attribute of an image included in an image group, a layout selection unit configured to select a layout frame based on an order of a layout frame, which arranges an image, included in a template which is an arrangement object of an image and an attribute of the layout frame, an image selection unit configured to select an image based on an order of an image aligned by the image alignment unit and on the attribute of the image, and a selected image layout unit configured to arrange an image selected by the image selection unit in a layout frame selected by the layout frame selection unit.

Image layout device, image layout method, and storage medium

In an information processing apparatus including a first content group, to which an external device including a second content group is connected, a content list is created from a content group in which the first and second content groups have been integrated. Attribute information of the content is acquired in accordance with the type of the content included in the second content group, a control method for the content list is determined based on the acquired attribute information, and the content list is processes in accordance with the determined control method.

Information processing apparatus and method thereof to generate a content list from content groups

An output apparatus includes a cartridge which contains a recording material. A detector is provided in the apparatus for detecting the remaining amount of the recording material in the cartridge. A controller is provided in the apparatus for storing the cumulative consumed amount of the recording material in a non-volatile memory unit. Thus, the remaining amount of the recording material is determined.

Printing apparatus using recording material cartridge with non-volatile memory

Method and apparatus for determining consumed amount of recording material

To print plural copies of a document consisting of a plurality of pages by a printer, a host computer sandwiches print data with a spool command and a spool end command, and transmits the print data to the printer. The printer stores the received print data, sandwiched in between the spool command and spool end command, in a spool area. Then, the printer processes the print data stored in the spool area similarly to the processing of print data received directly from the host computer. Note that in this case, the printing operation is repeated the number of times corresponding to the number of copies of the document designated by the host computer. Accordingly, print data stored temporarily in the spool area can be used in similar manner to the print data transmitted directly from the host computer, for printing plural copies of the document.
