Abstract: The present invention provides a scheme that allows a person to communicate with another person at a remote site while giving the realistic sensation as if the persons faced each other in close proximity by capturing the images of the person using a plurality of image capturing units. A remote communication system includes a projector configured to project, on to a screen, an image transmitted from a remote site. The screen has a plurality of the front cameras disposed thereon. A CPU performs an extraction process to extract a person part from each of images captured by the front cameras and a combining process to combine the images captured by the front cameras. The remote communication system further includes a projector that projects the image subjected to the extraction process and the combining process onto a screen set in the remote site.

Abstract: A first information processor in a conference room acquires the image of a document placed on a first projection surface as a material shared with a remote site. The first information processor extracts an image indicating a user based on an image obtained by capturing the image of an area including a projection area projected to a projection surface and a distance acquired by a sensor. A second information processor at the remote site extracts an image indicating a user at the remote site based on an image obtained by capturing the image of an area including a projection area projected to the projection surface and a distance acquired by a sensor. The first information processor projects an image indicating the user at the remote site. The second information processor projects the images of the document acquired by the first information processor and the user located at the remote site.

Abstract: A communication support system of the present invention provides an improved visibility of an operation by an operator without losing visibility of a content and supports accurate communication between operators in different locations. The communication support system of the present embodiment crops an image of an area having a reference image arranged therein out of a captured image obtained in another location and makes an area that is different from a person area corresponding to a person transparent in the cropped image. The communication support system displays an output image obtained by superposing the reference image as an upper layer over the captured image and further superposing the cropped image as an upper layer over the reference image.

Abstract: An object of this invention is to improve user friendliness of the box function. In a system having a storage means capable of storing data in a plurality of data storage boxes including first and second boxes, when the first job data transmitted without performing any predetermined operation by the user in the data generation apparatus is stored in the storage means, acceptance of a process request for the first job data from the first user via the first display associated with the first box on a user interface is permitted. When the second job data transmitted after performing the predetermined operation by the user is stored in the storage means, acceptance of a process request for the second job data from the first user via the first display associated with the first box on the user interface is permitted. In addition, acceptance of a process request for the second job data from the second user via the second display associated with the second box on the user interface is permitted.
