The present disclosure relates to an image processing apparatus and method capable of more accurately determining authenticity of an image. An image of a subject is acquired by capturing an optical image from the subject, 3D information is acquired from the optical image on the same optical axis as the image, and a signature of the image and the 3D information is generated. Furthermore, by comparing the image with the 3D information acquired on the same optical axis as the image, authenticity of the image is confirmed. The present disclosure can be applied to, for example, an image processing apparatus, an image processing method, or the like.

Image processing apparatus and method

Provided are an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and an electronic device capable of appropriately perform update of a license provided by an information processing apparatus and used in an electronic device. The electronic device includes a key generation unit that generates a device unique key that is a key unique to every device, and a license management unit that updates a license in a case where an extension code generated by a predetermined method on the basis of the device unique key, first data different for every installation of the license provided by an information processing apparatus, and second data different depending on the number of times of update of the license coincides with an input extension code.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and electronic device

Provided is a system capable of appropriately performing period management of a license provided by an information processing apparatus. The information processing apparatus includes a data generation unit that generates first license communication information using first device information, the first device information being information including a first reference date and time and a device unique key, the first reference date and time being a date and time set using a hardware clock of an electronic device and being a date and time used for period management of a license, the device unique key being a key unique to the electronic device, and the first license communication information being information including at least one of an effective term or an expiration time of the license and the first reference date and time and used for installing the license in the electronic device.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, electronic device, and information processing system for period management of a license used in the electronic device

Provided is an electronic device, an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and an information processing system capable of improving convenience in a case where a floating license is used in an electronic device that does not directly communicate with an information processing apparatus providing the floating license. The information processing apparatus includes a storage control unit that controls a storage unit to store a combination of a device unique key and an installation key, the device unique key being a key unique to an electronic device, and the installation key being a key for installing a license to the electronic device; and a license management unit that updates information regarding a status of the license in a case where a combination of the device unique key corresponding to license return information and the installation key corresponding to installation key information in the license return information coincides with a combination stored in the storage unit, the license return information being information including the installation key information corresponding to the installation key and generated by the electronic device.

Electronic device, information processing apparatus, information processing method, and information processing system

There is provided an information processing device including an obtaining unit configured to obtain, from a user terminal, developer identification information, and access control information for controlling whether or not one or more functions possessed by the information processing device are permitted to be executed, the developer identification information and the access control information being related to an application program possessed by the user terminal, a determination unit configured to determine whether or not a developer of the application program indicated by the developer identification information is a developer who has made an advance request for authorization for use, and a control unit configured to control execution of at least a portion of the one or more functions based on the access control information, based on the result of the determination by the determination unit.

Information processing device and information processing method

An information processing device includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire developer identification information associated with an application program possessed by a user terminal, from the user terminal. A determination unit determines whether a developer of the application program indicated by the developer identification information is a developer who has made an advance request for authorization for use. A control unit controls execution of a function possessed by the information processing device, according to an instruction from the user terminal, when the developer of the application program indicated by the developer identification information is a developer who has made an advance request for authorization for use, and a content processing unit acquires a content based on the execution of the function, and associates the acquired content with information of the developer on which the determination has been performed.

Information processing device, information processing method, program, and server

An information display apparatus includes an input device adapted to input user operation information, a touch sensor adapted to detect the state of the input device in terms of whether the input device is touched by a user, a display adapted to display information, and a control unit adapted to receive user operation information from the input device and sensor detection information from the touch sensor, and control displaying of the information on the display in accordance with the received user operation information and the sensor detection information. If the touch information indicating that the input device is touched by the user is received from the touch sensor, the control unit displays first information associated with the input device on the display. If the input device is maintained in the touched state longer than a predetermined period, the control unit switches the displayed information into second information.
