Abstract: An information processing device includes circuitry. The circuitry calculates a matching degree between two images of an image pair. The matching degree of the image pair is one of a plurality of matching degrees of a plurality of image pairs. The circuitry generates information on sameness between two image groups of an image group pair based on the plurality of matching degrees of the plurality of image pairs. The image group pair includes the plurality of image pairs.

Abstract: A data-transmission device includes a first converting unit, multiple second converting units, a transmission-destination-determining unit, a file-transmitting unit, and a format-setting unit. The first converting unit converts target data to be printed into an intermediate format and activates the transmission-destination-determining unit. The transmission-destination-determining unit determines a transmission destination device in accordance with activation by the first converting unit, determines a file format that needs to be received by the transmission destination device, and gives a print command to one of the second converting units, which is capable of conducting conversion into the determined file format, when receiving a print command from the transmission-destination-determining unit. The second converting unit converts the target data converted into the intermediate format into the file format that needs to be received by the transmission destination device.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a device driver part having model information including the functions of one or more devices, and support function information indicating the functions; and a model information generation unit generating second adding model information based on a comparison between first adding model information and the support function information. Further, the first adding model information includes information of functions that can be executed in a device corresponding to a model to be added, and the generated second adding model information includes information of the function of the model to be added so that the device driver part can request to use the function of the device of the model to be added.
