Abstract: A display control apparatus includes an acquiring unit, a generating unit, and a display control unit. The acquiring unit acquires an image data group. The generating unit generates a layout image of a spread page, an image based on image data selected from the image data group acquired by the acquiring unit being arranged in the layout image. The display control unit causes a display unit to display a preview image of the layout image of the spread page generated by the generating unit based on a gloss parameter. The gloss parameter is used in varying a glossiness of the page of the preview image depending on a position of an end of the page in the preview image.

Abstract: An apparatus that creates an electronic album laying-out images in units of pages from a plurality of image files, comprising a management unit which manages, by classifying into a plurality of pre-set categories, templates that define a location region of an image to be located in a page, a setting unit which sets one of the plurality of categories for each page, a decision unit which analyzes image files that are targets to include in an electronic album, and decides images that are targets to lay out in each page, and a layout unit which lays out each decided image as a target to lay out to a page of interest, by using a template classified into a category set to a page of interest by the setting unit from the templates managed by the management unit.

Abstract: In an apparatus, a reception unit receives information indicating an end of image process in an external apparatus or information indicating an occurrence of an error in the external apparatus. A display control unit causes a display unit to display predetermined information based on the information received by the reception unit. An acquisition unit acquires a constraint condition for causing the display unit to limit a display of the predetermined information. A determination unit determines whether an operating state of an apparatus capable of controlling the display unit meets the constraint condition. When the determination unit determines that the operating state meets the constraint condition, the display control unit limits the display of the predetermined information on the display unit based on the information received by the reception unit.

Abstract: An image file temporarily copied to a storage unit from an outside in order to create an album is deleted from the storage unit after the album is ordered. Therefore, the image file needs to be copied again from the outside in order to re-edit the album that has been created once, degrading user operability and requiring many apparatus resources. In order to solve this, according to an example of the present invention, in an information processing apparatus which lays out a plurality of images, images are obtained, the obtained images are stored in the storage unit, and the obtained images are selected and laid out. At this time, information on the selected images is left, and images other than these are deleted from the storage unit.

Abstract: A photo album in which images having a high priority for a user are laid out in the order of photographing date and time is created without putting a load on the user. To achieve this, photographing date and time information on the plurality of images and reliability information indicating reliability of the photographing date and time information are obtained, scoring is performed on each of the plurality of images by analyzing, and images to be laid out on a template are selected in descending order of obtained scores from a plurality of images. Furthermore, after laying out the selected images on the template according to the order of photographing date and time, a message is notified to the user in a case where the laid out images include an image having a low reliability of the photographing date and time information.

Abstract: First time information individually corresponding to a plurality of first images extracted from a designated moving image is assigned to the plurality of first images. The plurality of first images and a second image captured as a still image are individually displayed such that the plurality of first images are consecutively arranged irrespective of the first time information and second time information corresponding to the second image and the plurality of first images and the second image are arranged in order based on time information corresponding to the designated moving image and the second time information.

Abstract: A control method includes executing, in a case that a change instruction is accepted, at least a process for displaying a first post-change layout image on a display unit with a priority over a second post-change layout image with a higher degree of similarity to the pre-change layout image than the first post-change layout image or a process for displaying the first post-change layout image on the display unit in a more emphasized manner than the second post-change layout image.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a storage unit configured to store a template group for assigning image data, an acquisition unit configured to acquire identification information of a photographing area in which the image data is photographed inside a facility, and a selection unit configured to select a template with a design corresponding to the identification information of the photographing area inside the facility from the template group stored in the storage unit.

Abstract: In a case where a number of pieces of image data stored in a local storage of a communication apparatus reaches a number of pieces of image data for creating a photo album, the communication apparatus creates the photo album using the image data stored in the local storage without using image data stored in an external storage.

Abstract: As a solution to problems, provided is a control method including a display step of not executing display processing for displaying, on a display unit, a message indicating that there is an image that is not browsed when a non-layout image in a plurality of images indicated by layout information is not browsed and a layout image in the plurality of images indicated by the layout information is browsed, and executing the display processing when the layout image in the plurality of images indicated by the layout information is not browsed.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus according to one embodiment of the present invention includes: a laying-out unit configured to lay out image data in a template; a storage unit configured to store a content edited by a user for a layout result laid out by the laying-out unit; and a reflection unit configured to reflect the edited content on a re-layout result in a case where the image data is re-laid out by the laying-out unit.

Abstract: There is provided an information processing apparatus that can reliably associate a device driver with an application even without updating the device driver itself. To achieve this, the information processing apparatus is provided with a registration unit capable of registering and updating association information between information for managing a device and a predetermined application regardless of whether a device driver is installed. This allows management by separating installation of a device driver from registration processing of an application.
