  • Patent number: 11935234
    Abstract: A computer obtains a chest X-ray image, detects boundary lines in the chest X-ray image using a model constructed through machine learning, sets a third lung area including at least one of a first lung area or a second lung area, extracts a vascular index indicating at least one of thickness or density of at least one pulmonary blood vessel present in an area included in the third lung area, determines whether the area included in the third lung area is in an abnormal state on a basis of the vascular index and a reference index based on indices extracted in advance from an area in chest X-ray images in a normal state corresponding to the area included in the third lung area, and outputs, if determining that the area included in the third lung area is in an abnormal state, information indicating a result of the determination.

  • Publication number: 20230297677
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a virus detector, a virus information acquirer that acquires virus information that identifies a detected computer virus, a function execution availability determiner that determines functions to be permitted and functions to be prohibited using the acquired virus information, and a function operation setter that sets execution availability of the functions based on a result of the determination. The function operation setter sets functions determined to be permitted as execution permitted functions and functions determined to be prohibited as execution prohibited functions. The functions set as the execution prohibited functions by the function operation setter are prohibited until a state in which execution is to be permitted is entered and become executable after the state in which execution is to be permitted is entered.

  • Patent number: 11563872
    Abstract: A multifunction machine as an image forming apparatus according to the present invention has a color correction function as an auxiliary function of a copying function. According to this color correction function, an expression color of each pixel that constitutes an output image is assigned to any one of color shades in a number of 70. Then, a color correction setting screen in which 70 patches corresponding to the assigned color shades are disposed is displayed on the display. Each of the patches functions as an operator for setting a correction value for density of the corresponding color shade. Then, color correction processing is executed on the basis of a setting content on the color correction setting screen or at an appropriate stage in a process of generating data for printing.
