An information processing apparatus includes a receiving unit receiving data input to one or more apparatuses; a data storage unit storing the data with a determined display position thereof in a display screen; a log storage unit storing a data change as a log; an association unit monitoring a communication status of a communication with the one or more apparatuses, and associating information indicating an apparatus where a communication error occurs and a timing when the communication occurs with the log; a recording unit recording video of the data change displayed in the display screen from when the communication error occurs until when the communication is recovered for an apparatus; and a transmission unit transmitting the video from an event when the communication error occurs until an event when the communication is recovered and the log to the apparatus.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and information processing system

An image processing apparatus is disclosed, including a marking position detection part and a first character recognition part. The marking position detection part detects a marking position with respect to a first sheet based on first image data scanned from the first sheet. The first character recognition part conducts a first character recognition with respect to an area specified based on the marking position, for second image data scanned from a second sheet.

Image processing apparatus, image processing system, and image processing method

An information processing device includes: a first acquiring unit that acquires first information to be used for detecting whether a viewer is present around a display unit displaying an image from a first detector that detects the first information; a second acquiring unit that acquires second information to be used for recognizing an instruction action to the image displayed by the display unit from a second detector that detects the second information; and a deciding unit that decides a recognition method of the instruction action by using the second information, based on the first information acquired by the first acquiring unit.

Information processing device, system, and information processing method

An image projecting apparatus that includes an illumination measuring unit that measures illumination of light illuminated on a side of the image projecting apparatus opposite a supported surface of the image projecting, an illumination calculator that calculates illumination at the projection surface based on the measured illumination, and a projection light intensity determining unit that determines luminous intensity of projection light from an image projecting unit that projects an image on the projection surface. The illumination calculator calculates illumination at the projection surface based on optical reflecting characteristics of the installation environment of the image projecting apparatus.

Image processing apparatus, image processing system, and image conducting character recognition with respect to image data

An image processing system includes an information processing apparatus and an image forming apparatus that are connected via a network. The information processing apparatus receives inputs designating scan setting and a layout method, and transmits the scan setting and the layout method to the image forming apparatus. The image forming apparatus reads an original document according to the scan setting, outputs image data, extracts a content from the image data according to the layout method, and transmits the content to the information processing apparatus. The information processing apparatus determines, according to the layout method, a layout of the content on a page, arranges the content on the page according to the layout, and generates the drawing data. The image forming apparatus forms an image on a sheet of paper corresponding to the page according to drawing data.

Image processing system and image processing method

An apparatus generates display data on a display unit. An image constructing unit constructs an image of an image list including a plurality of images each corresponding to an image data file. A data output unit outputs first display data of the image list, and then, when a switching command is received from a user, outputs second display data of the image list in response to the switching command. A confirmation calculating unit calculates a degree of confirmation indicating whether a user confirmation is performed for each of the images in the image list. An image modifying unit modifies the images in the image list based on the degree of confirmation.

Method and apparatus for generating image display data

In an image forming apparatus, a reader reads an image of one page of an original thereby obtaining image data. A determining unit determines whether embedded data has been embedded in the image data. An extracting unit extracts the embedded data, acquires a target page number of a reading unnecessary page based on the embedded data, and saves the page number in a storage unit. A page number determining unit determines whether a page number of a next page of the original matches with the target page number. Upon the page number of the next page matching with the target page number, the reader does not read image data of the next page.

Encoding information is assigned to each block according to a position of the block in an image of the color image data. An image analyzing unit analyzes the block and outputs a feature value. A block determining unit determines whether the block is an embedding-possible block based on the feature value and demarcates a watermark embedding area in the embedding-possible block. An embedding unit embeds the watermark information by deforming the watermark embedding area according to a pattern that represents the watermark information and replacing a pixel in the watermark embedding area with another pixel near the pixel to be replaced.

Image processing apparatus, image processing method, and computer program product

An apparatus for and a method of image forming which embeds digital watermark information into an image data of a document and outputs the image data that includes determining the page of the document in which the digital watermark information is to be embedded based on a predetermined condition, the predetermined condition corresponding to whether the document is composed of two or more pages, embedding the digital watermark information into the page of the document determined by the above described determination and outputting the image data which is embedded in the digital watermark information by the above described embedding.

Image forming apparatus and method of image forming

A disclosed image display apparatus for displaying multiple images on a single screen includes a magnification unit configured to, in response to a zooming operation on the screen, magnify distances between centroids of first group images included in the multiple images and magnify the first group images; and a display control unit configured to display in a space of the magnified distances one or more images different from the multiple images. A magnification rate of the distances between the centroids has a nonlinear relationship to a magnification rate of the first group images, and within an extent of the nonlinear relationship, the magnification rate of the distances between the centroids has a predetermined range in which the magnification rate of the first group images is larger than the magnification rate of the distances between the centroids.
