  • Publication number: 20210081152
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes an execution request obtainer, a reliability information obtainer, a confidentiality-degree determiner, and a processing execution judger. The execution request obtainer obtains an execution request to execute processing using an image processing device. The reliability information obtainer obtains reliability information concerning the reliability of the image processing device. The confidentiality-degree determiner determines the degree of confidentiality of subject data to be processed in response to the execution request. The processing execution judger judges whether the image processing device is suitable to execute processing in response to the execution request, based on the reliability information and the degree of confidentiality.

  • Publication number: 20190322217
    Abstract: A vehicle periphery display device provided in a vehicle has a right imaging unit and a left imaging unit that acquire captured images from the front side to the rear side of the vehicle. The captured images acquired by the right imaging unit and the left imaging unit are processed into display images having a display region that corresponds to the operation status and are displayed on display units within the vehicle. A region of a display image that is generated in a case where a predetermined operation status condition has been established (a case where a direction indicator has been operated, for example) is wider than a region of a display image that is generated in a case where the operation status condition has not been established.

  • Publication number: 20180364680
    Abstract: A management apparatus includes a data acquiring unit, a desired-time acquiring unit, an assigning unit, and a data output unit. The data acquiring unit acquires image data expressing at least one of a three-dimensional image and an image. The desired-time acquiring unit acquires desired time information associated with the image data. The desired time information indicates a desired time for completing an image forming process for forming the image. The desired time is expressed as at least one of a time point and a time frame. The assigning unit assigns image formation of the image data to an image forming apparatus that performs the image forming process such that the image forming process is completed at the desired time indicated by the desired time information. The data output unit outputs the image data toward the image forming apparatus assigned by the assigning unit.
