Abstract:
A terminal device stores therein an application program provided by a second provider and including an image search program. An image search system provided by a first provider stores therein image data and identification information identifying the image search program; registers, in association with the identification information, setting information indicating whether a storage area to be searched is a first storage area exclusive to the second provider or a second storage area not exclusive to the second provider; stores the image data specified as a search target by the second provider in the first or second storage area; receives a search request for the image data transmitted from the terminal device; determines, when the search request includes the identification information, a storage area to be searched among the first and second storage areas; and determines, when not, the second storage area to be the storage area to be searched.
Abstract:
A communication system includes a first communication terminal and a second communication terminal. The first communication terminal provides first terminal identification information read out from a memory to a first mobile terminal. The second communication terminal obtains the first terminal identification information from a second mobile terminal, the second mobile terminal being a mobile terminal that has received the first terminal identification information from the first mobile terminal through a first communication session. The second communication terminal further transmits a request for starting communication with the first communication terminal to establish a second communication session with the first communication terminal.

Abstract:
The light source unit comprises a light source emitting visible light and light of a non-visible wavelength; a rod-like light guide at the end of which the light source is provided and within which incident light from the light source is propagated in the long axis direction; a reflector that is linear along the long axis direction and provided on the contour surface of the light guide; and a support member encompassing the reflector and light guide, having a given width in the direction perpendicular to the long axis direction, and provided with an opening extending along the long axis direction. The reflector and support member are formed by a reflecting material containing a substance reflecting the light of a non-visible light wavelength and reflecting the visible light and light of a non-visible light wavelength.
Abstract:
An image processing apparatus includes a first calculating section that calculates a non-contour degree for pixel of a processing target image data, a second calculating section that calculates a thin line degree for pixel of the processing target image data, a region extracting section that extracts a thin line or non-contour region based on the non-contour degree and the thin line degree and a color value extracting section. The color value extracting section extracts a color value within a range of a predetermined number of colors based on a color used in the thin line or non-contour region extracted by the region extracting section in the processing target image data.
