A device, apparatus, and method provide logic for processing information. In one implementation, a device may include an image acquisition unit configured to acquire an image, and a transmission unit configured to transmit information associated with the image to an information processing apparatus, such as a server. The server may be associated with a first feature quantity dictionary. The device also may include a receiving unit configured to receive a second feature quantity dictionary from the server in response to the transmission. The second feature quantity dictionary may include less information than the first feature quantity dictionary, and the server may generate the second feature quantity dictionary based on the image information and the first feature quantity dictionary. The device may include an identification unit configured to identify an object within the image using the second feature quantity dictionary.

The present technology relates to an information processing device, an information processing method, a program, and an information processing system realizing smooth entrance with an electronic ticket. ID information used for determining admittance or non-admittance of entrance with an electronic ticket is extracted from a captured image of a superimposition image which contains a predetermined image and the ID information superimposed on the predetermined image to determine admittance or non-admittance of entrance with the electronic ticket on the basis of the electronic ticket and the ID information. For example, the present technology is applicable to an entrance gate system or others provided to check entrance into an event site or the like.
