The method also includes controlling display of the specified folder when the specified folder includes electronic files, the access rights of which are granted to the user, and controlling hiding of the specified folder when the specified folder does not include any electronic files, the access rights of which are granted to the user. | 05-21-2009 |
20100026649 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - In an information processing apparatus for controlling a multi-touch panel, a contacted area acquisition unit acquires a contacted area contacted in the multi-touch panel, and a side of hand determination unit determines whether or not the acquired contacted area has a predetermined shape. If it is determined that the contacted area has a predetermined shape, a selected range placing unit places a selected range based on a detected position in the contacted area, and displays the placed selected range in the multi-touch panel. | 02-04-2010 |
20100123657 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, PROCESSING METHOD THEREOF, AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - An information processing apparatus executes a variety of processing operations in accordance with a user's operation detected by an operation detection device. The apparatus generates a data set from a data group in accordance with a predetermined condition. The apparatus determines the content of processing corresponding to the motion detected by the operation detection device. The apparatus adjusts the data set by increasing or decreasing data included in the data set generated, based on the determined processing. | 05-20-2010 |
20100290671 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD - An association degree evaluation unit acquires pieces of position information of an image sensing apparatus at respective times within an adjacent time range to an imaging time of a designated image of those sensed by the image sensing apparatus. Furthermore, the association degree evaluation unit acquires pieces of position information of a moving object at the respective times within the adjacent time range. Then, the association degree evaluation unit calculates a similarity between routes of the image sensing apparatus and moving object based on the acquired position information group, and decides a degree of association between the designated image and moving object based on the calculated similarity. An associating unit registers information indicating the degree of association in association with the designated image. | 11-18-2010 |
20110150278 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, PROCESSING METHOD THEREOF, AND NON-TRANSITORY STORAGE MEDIUM - An information processing apparatus comprising: a storage unit configured to store image features of multiple targets and mutual relationship information of the multiple targets; an input unit configured to input an image; a detection unit configured to detect a region of a target from the input image; an identification unit configured to, based on the stored image features and image features of the detected region, identify the target of the region; and an estimation unit configured to, in the case where both a first region in which a target was identified and a second region in which a target could not be identified are present in the input image, estimate a candidate for the target in the second region based on the mutual relationship information and the target in the first region. | 06-23-2011 |
20110202826 | DOCUMENT CREATION SUPPORT APPARATUS AND DOCUMENT CREATION SUPPORTING METHOD THAT CREATE DOCUMENT DATA BY QUOTING DATA FROM OTHER DOCUMENT DATA, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A document creation support apparatus which, when creating document data by quoting data from other document data, can accurately and efficiently recommend to information related to the data which might need to be additionally quoted to users. Quotation data is quoted from other document data when document data is to be created. At least one of a quotation source and a quotation destination of the quotation data is identified. The quotation data related to the at least one of the quotation source and the quotation destination is obtained, and the obtained quotation data is presented. | 08-18-2011 |
20130251198 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD THEREOF, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - In an information processing apparatus, an object recognition process is performed on each image of a multi-viewpoint image group based on focal length information and information about objects. Objects are specified in each image. A target object is determined based on relationship information indicating a relationship between the objects. An image that contains the determined target object is generated. | 09-26-2013 |
20130265465 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD - There is a provided an image processing apparatus comprising an image generation unit to generate a processed image using an image group having a plurality of images captured from multiple view points, a first image recognition unit to recognize a particular object from the processed image, a second image recognition unit to recognize respective objects which appear in the image group, a determination unit to compare the results by the first and second image recognition units and to determine an object of interest and an object of noninterest, and an attribute generation unit to generate attribute information including the result of determination by the determination unit, in the processed image. | 10-10-2013 |
20130275902 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD - An information processing apparatus includes an area display unit configured to display a metadata area including metadata values arrayed for each metadata item and unique areas defined for respective metadata values, an icon display unit configured to display an icon associated with main body data and enabling a user to add the metadata, and an adding unit operable if the displayed icon is moved to a position on the metadata area and configured to add information defining a unique area to which the position of the moved icon belongs, as metadata, to main body data associated with the icon. | 10-17-2013 |
