Abstract: A processor of an information processing apparatus acquires a live view image and a pre-captured image based on a main-captured image, sets an imageable signal indicating that main imaging is determined to be executable based on at least one of a distance measurement result or a captured image, and outputs screen data. The live view image is displayed in a live view region included in a screen. A guide view region included in the screen includes a wide view region and a guide region. The pre-captured image is displayed in the wide view region. Guide information is displayed in the guide region. The processor outputs the screen data as data in which the screen includes an imaging instruction reception region in a case in which the imageable signal is set, and outputs a main imaging instruction signal in a case in which an imaging instruction is received by the imaging instruction reception region.

Abstract: An imaging system that includes a plurality of mobile type apparatus. Each of the plurality of mobile type apparatuses performs, in a case where a preset imaging target and a mobile type apparatus to which a role of an imaging target is assigned are present in an acquired image, a control for forming an image on a recording medium, discharges the recording medium on which the image is formed, to a preset delivery target in a deliverable state, and controls movement of the mobile type apparatus for delivering the recording medium to a delivery target. The plurality of mobile type apparatuses include at least one mobile type apparatus to which the role of the imaging target is assigned, and at least one mobile type apparatus to which a role of a imaging responsibility is assigned.

Abstract: An electronic book production apparatus includes; an image obtaining unit; a character area detecting unit; a character recognizing unit; a character position information obtaining unit; a reading-order determining unit which determines a reading order among the character areas in the page image based on positions of the character areas in the page image and continuity from a character to another character between the character areas in the page image; an electronic book data generating unit which generates electronic book data including character information indicating the recognized characters, the character position information indicating the position of each of the recognized characters in the page image, and order information about the characters or the character areas corresponding to the reading order among the character areas in the page image; and an electronic book data output unit which outputs the electronic book data generated by the electronic book data generating unit.

Abstract: A document image is viewed by scrolling along only one axis. To achieve this, a document is imaged to obtain a document image. A document image having a width identical with that of a display area is generated. When such a document image is generated, character images are extracted. These character images represent characters, which are contained in the document image, in the form of images. The extracted character images are re-arrayed in accordance with the flow of characters to thereby generate a document image. Since this document image has a width the same as that of the display area, it can be viewed merely by scrolling up and down.
