摘要:
The invention includes a print terminal that prints input image data and outputs the input image data as a print image, and an image storage server that is connected to the print terminal via a public network, and that stores the image data sent from the print terminal and user identification information. The print terminal creates, out of the print image, user identification information based on photographing location information and photographing date/time information included as data in a user identification information image specified by the user. In a case where the print terminal receives a re-input of image data of the user identification information image, the print terminal resends user identification information to the image storage server. In a case where an image directory including the resent user identification information internally exists, the image storage server sends the image data in the image directory to the print terminal.

Improvements to a craft kit that enable receiving a photograph and generating a template of the photograph include components for printing the template on adhesive-backed canvas for mounting to a panel or frame, entering a product code to enable generation of the template, generating the template in color and enabling the colored template to be printed or submitted for production of a piece of artwork. Further improvements include enabling the user to select one or more themes for use in generating the template wherein the template is then generated with at least one shape associated with theme, enabling the user to select one or more particular shapes for incorporation into the template, and generating the template with one or more images associated with an organization, such as a logo, a character, or a caricature.

A system and method for obtaining photographic products and/or services comprises bundling image capture and printing technologies into products and/or services that are paid for by a consumer with monthly or yearly subscription fees. The system and method involves selecting a camera and selecting a photographic products/service plan which designates photographic products and/or services which are to be associated with the selected camera. The system and method gives the consumer the option of selecting a specific camera from a menu of cameras, and a specific photographic product/service plan which is to be associated with the selected camera from a product/service menu. As a further option, the consumer can customize his/her product/service plan in accordance with his/her preference. The plan can provide for products and/or services for images captured and/or film exposed by the camera for a predetermined amount of time at a predetermined fee. At the end of the plan, the consumer could have the option of returning the camera, exchanging the camera for a different camera, or keeping the camera at no cost or for a reduced price. The photographic products and/or services provided by the plan could be products and/or services such as film developing, printing, image products, scanning, photo CDs, image storage, etc.

An information processing apparatus includes a download unit to download, in accordance with an instruction of a user, a print target image from a server accessible by a third party using an SNS (Social Networking Service) via a network, different from the user. A processor obtains subjective evaluation information of the third party for the print target image included in a tag added to the print target image downloaded by the download unit, evaluates the print target image, based on the subjective evaluation information of the third party, and performs image processing for the downloaded print target image in accordance with a result of the evaluation. An output unit outputs image data that has undergone the image processing of the processor.

Methods and systems of creating and ordering a photobook via a display of a space constrained mobile device are disclosed. A photobook is produced by dragging and dropping of photos, pages, or spreads, thus creating user-desired pairing arrangements of photos, pages, or spreads. In one embodiment, a method comprises selecting photos via a touch interface of a mobile device, creating a page-preview of a photobook at the touch interface, providing book customization options by using dragging and dropping features, and creating a book-preview of said photobook after said book customization options have been performed, thereby displaying a virtual manifestation of a printable and deliverable book. The invention reduces friction points to purchase, and increases user satisfaction with the photobook creation and customization process.
摘要:
An event venue with a performance area (e.g., a sport field or auditorium stage) and an eventgoer area (e.g., stadium seating or bleachers) may include a set of eventgoer cameras trained on various sections of the eventgoer area and a set of performance cameras trained on the performance area. The event venue may also include sensors. When an event occurrence (e.g., a goal or touchdown) is detected using the cameras and/or sensors, at least one photo or video of the event occurrence may be captured by the performance cameras, and at least one photo or video of the eventgoer reaction may be captured using the eventgoer cameras. Facial recognition may then be used to identify particular eventgoers in each photo or video. Identified eventgoers can then receive photos or videos in which they are identified along with performance photos or videos that were captured at roughly the same time.

To perform automatic image processing to obtain an appropriate result, information other than information obtained from the image file itself to be processed is necessary. According to an embodiment of this invention, an image is selected and downloaded from an image group that is uploaded on a network and is accessible by a third party. Upon performing image processing for the downloaded image, the following processing is performed. That is, evaluation information of the third party for the downloaded image is obtained, the obtained evaluation information is analyzed, and image processing for the downloaded image is performed in accordance with the analysis result. Image data that has undergone the image processing is then output.

Methods and systems of customizing a photobook by page arrangement and spread generation are disclosed. In one embodiment, the present invention creates an automatic grid preview of spreads, comprising pages, after a user of the user device completes a photo upload. In the grid preview, the user can swap a spread with another spread (spread location change), swap a photo from a spread with another photo from another spread (photo location change), create a new spread from a detached photo of an existing spread, add a new photo to a spread, and delete a photo from a spread. Unused photos and spreads may be stored in a temporary storage area in a manner that the unused photos and the spreads may be conveniently accessed anytime during the photobook creation process. The invention reduces friction points to purchase a photobook and increases user satisfaction with the photobook creation and customization process.

Size information indicating sizes of a plurality of images is acquired from at least one server. Based on the sizes of the plurality of images indicated by the acquired size information, an image having a size corresponding to an output performance of an output device used to output the plurality of images is selected as an image to be output to the output device.
