Abstract: An electric device includes an imaging module, a detector and an output module. The imaging module takes an image which is output from another electric device. The detector detects a code designation from data of the image taken by the imaging module. The output module generates another code designation which is different from the code designation which is output from said another electric device, and outputs said another code designation to said another electric device, when the detector detects the code designation which is output from said another electric device.

Abstract: It is an object to generate a desired composite image in which a motion area of a subject is correctly composited. A difference image between a base target and an aligned swap target is generated (S1021), and an extracted contour in the difference image is determined according to the active contour model (S1022). The inner area of the contour and the outer area of the contour are painted with different colors to be color-coded so as to generate a mask image for alpha blending (S1023). Using the mask image thus generated, the swap target that is aligned with respect to the base target is composited with the base target of the base image by alpha blending (S1024).
