An image providing system capable of quickly providing a plurality of different cropped images is disclosed. The image providing system acquires position information about a position of a user designated by the user. The image providing system determines a range of an image that was captured by an image capturing unit, the range corresponding to the position information as a cropping range, before the image capturing unit starts a series of image capturing in which the image capturing unit captures a plurality of images. After the series of image capturing is started, the system applies cropping that cuts out a part of a captured image based on the cropping range. During the series of image capturing, the system provides a cropped image to which the cropping has been applied in a way in which a user can obtain the cropped image.

Image providing system and method for controlling same

An apparatus includes a sensor configured to capture an image of an affected part, and a processor configured to obtain information about a size of the affected part in the captured image, and control timing to capture an image of the affected part or control timing to prompt a user to perform an imaging operation based on the information about the size of the affected part.

Apparatus, image processing apparatus, and control method

This invention provides a control apparatus that controls a pan-head including a drive unit for driving an image capturing device, the control apparatus comprising a control unit that controls the drive unit according to a request received via a communication unit; a determination unit that, in a case in which a connection request is received from a terminal, determines whether a first application program for configuration setting relating to the pan-head or a second application program for remote control of the pan-head is being executed in the terminal; a management unit that manages a terminal authorized for connection; and a decision unit that, in a case in which a new connection request is received, decides whether connection is possible or impossible on the basis of the determination by the determination unit and information managed by the management unit.

Control apparatus, method for controlling same, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium

In an AV system in which a television apparatus and a recorder are individually connected to an AV amplifier through an HDMI, in the case where sound is output from the AV amplifier, if insertion of headphones into the television apparatus is detected, control information to switch the destination of the audio data is transmitted from the television apparatus to the AV amplifier. The AV amplifier switches the destination of the audio data that is input from the recorder from a speaker output section to the television apparatus in accordance with the control information. Thus, even if the headphones are inserted into the television apparatus while the AV amplifier is outputting sound reproduced by the recorder, the sound can be output from the headphones.
