A moving image reproducing apparatus is capable of enlarging and reproducing respective objects while keeping relation between the objects in a moving image. A first obtaining unit obtains position information about objects detected by a tracking unit. A calculation unit calculates distances between the objects based on the position information. A first decision unit decides a group to which each of the objects belongs based on a period during which the calculated distance is less than a threshold. A second decision unit decides a division number of a screen of a target frame corresponding to the number of groups. A selection unit selects a layout structure having divided screens corresponding to the division number. A third decision unit decides a layout of the groups to the divided screens of the selected layout structure. A reproduction unit reproduces the moving image while changing the target frame into the decided layout.

Moving image reproducing apparatus, control method therefor, and storage medium storing control program therefor

An information processing apparatus which searches for a plurality of image files shot in succession from among a plurality of files, comprises a search unit which searches for the image files based on file attributes; an obtaining unit which obtains associated information added to each of the found image files; a determination unit which determines whether continuity exists between a plurality of image files having the same attribute based on the associated information; and a setting unit which sets the plurality of image files determined to have continuity as belonging to the same group, wherein the associated information added to each image file includes identification information indicating a file of an image shot after that file, and identification information indicating a file of an image shot before that file.

Information processing apparatus and control method thereof

A second program, which becomes inoperable as a result of updating of a first program and operates using the first program, is updated to an operable version using an appropriate update data file. When the version of the second program is not a version operable on the first program, one or more update data files including a full update data file which fully updates the second program to a version of the second program operable on the first program are determined as the update data files. When the version of the second program is a version operable on the first program, one or more differential update data files which do not include any full update data file and update some data files of the second program are determined as the update data files.
