  • Patent number: 11200651
    Abstract: Provided are an image processing apparatus, an image processing method, and an image processing program capable of obtaining an enjoyable image for a user unexpectedly. The user selects images from image groups imaged from January to December 2017 as an image to be printed. From not-selected remaining images, an image having an attribute in which a frequency for the attribute contained in each image is equal to or less than a threshold is found and printed. Since the obtained image is an image irrelevant to the images selected by the user, the image unexpected for the user can be obtained.

  • Patent number: 11070635
    Abstract: After receiving, from at least one service, a plurality of collection requests directed to the same network device, a device management server according to some embodiments selects at least one collection request to be set for the network device on the basis of a specified timing and route. If transmitting a first collection request included in the selected at least one collection request and specifying a predetermined data type reduces a frequency of collection of data of the predetermined data type from the network device, a collection request specifying a timing specified in the first collection request and a lower-cost route is transmitted to the network device.

  • Patent number: 10986305
    Abstract: An account association unit associates the user account of a service user with the user account of a service provider in a case where the service user starts using a service provided by the service provider. An analysis unit sets, as a target image, an image, which is stored after the user account of the service user is associated with the user account of the service provider, among images stored in the image storage unit for the user account of the service provider, and analyzes an object shown in the target image. An image transmission unit transmits the target image to the image storage unit for the user account of the service user at a preset time point for image transmission in a case where the object relating to the service user is shown in the target image.
