  • Patent number: 11403841
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus capable of communicating with an external device includes an analysis unit configured to analyze image data and to acquire a second analysis result using a second inference model that is less accurate than a first inference model of an external device when communication with the external device is not possible, a transmission unit configured to transmit the image data to the external device when communication with the external device is possible, and an acquisition unit configured to acquire, from the external device, a first analysis result obtained by analyzing, using the first inference model, the image data transmitted to the external device by the transmission unit. The first inference model and the second inference model are generated by performing machine learning.

  • Patent number: 9298716
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to improving user operability by identifiably notifying the user of the current collective addition statuses of tags to a plurality of files which are targets of tag addition or tag deletion, when the tags are collectively added or deleted to/from the plurality of files. An information processing apparatus acquires tag information stored in association with a plurality of content files, and selects a part of the plurality of content files. The information processing apparatus then detects whether the acquired tag information is associated with the selected content files, and displays the tag information in a display mode according to a sufficiency rate at which the piece of the tag information is added to the selected content files.

  • Patent number: 8423890
    Abstract: This invention provides a user interface that aligns an object corresponding to an image or a text on an object corresponding to a page of an electronic album and displays the object in a list so that the user can easily, visually, and correctly recognize change of alignment of the objects when editing a layout of the objects. In an information processing apparatus of the present invention, a plurality of pages and reduced images corresponding thereto are orderly displayed in a list in a window. When first one of the reduced images is dragged and overlaps with second one of the reduced images, the second reduced image is shifted from an original alignment position and displayed in the window. When the first reduced image is dropped at an original alignment position of the second reduced image, an order of each page is changed.
