Abstract: An information processing method, for an information processing apparatus including a controller, includes a first step, by the controller, of acquiring positional information indicating a change over time in positions of a plurality of users, a second step, by the controller, of predicting a number of the users who will gather at a specific time at a boarding/alighting point to board/alight from a vehicle based on the change over time in the positions of the plurality of users indicated by the positional information, and a third step, by the controller, of determining a vehicle dispatch schedule for the vehicle to the boarding/alighting point based on the number of users predicted to gather at the specific time at the boarding/alighting point.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an information processing apparatus includes a first controller and a second controller. The first controller updates a display state of a list of images to collect a plurality of images of the contents including an identical attribute into a group image if a first operation is accepted. The second controller updates the display state of the list of images to unfold the plurality of images of the contents collected into the group image if a second operation is accepted.

Abstract: A color processing device performs a quantitative evaluation not influenced by the experience and sensitivity of a user, upon adjustment of a profile. The adjustment of first conversion data for converting device independent data included in a profile describing characteristics of a device into device dependent data is achieved by inputting sample data, which is the device independent data, converting the sample data into the device dependent data using the first conversion data, converting the converted device dependent data into the device independent data using second conversion data which is conversion data included in the profile and which is conversion data for converting the device dependent data into the device independent data, and calculating the color difference between the sample data and the device independent data.

Abstract: An image which has been color-converted in correspondence with the output characteristics of a printing press as a target for the purpose of proof may often be printed by a copying machine or printer. Prior to the proof, a generation history of a generated profile of an output device is preferably managed. The operator sets whether or not to save parameters (saving location and profile name) associated with saving of a file and colorimetric values, whether or not to save history management information, and the like.

Abstract: In some cases, an image that has undergone color conversion in correspondence with the output characteristics of a printing press as a target is printed using a copying machine or printer for the purpose of proof. Prior to such proof, an output device profile is generated. In this case, it is desired to easily confirm and tune the generated profile. According to this invention, tuning images to be proofed and chart images before and after color conversion are parallelly displayed as independent windows. An arbitrary color range to be tuned is selected on one of these windows, a tuning parameter is set for the selected color range, and a color conversion condition is tuned based on the tuning parameter.

Abstract: Upon reading an A3-size sample image, a colorimeter that can read A3 size can be used but such A3-size calorimeter is expensive. For this reason, an A3-size recording paper sheet is cut into halves, i.e., two A4-size sample images, which are measured by an A4-size calorimeter. To prevent such troublesome operation, color patches are divided into nearly half groups, and these color patch groups are printed on an A3-size recording paper sheet to have their top positions on the opposite sides. In this way, after one color patch group is measured, the sample image is rotated through 180° and is set on the calorimeter to measure the other color patch group.

Abstract: An elastic coupling includes a flange with wings extending radially outwardly from the center of a main body. Bushes arranged between the wings have outer surfaces radially outwardly of the outer ends of the wings. Elastic rubbers connect the wings and the bushes. A round housing having a bottom compresses the bushes. The inner radius of the housing is larger than the radius of the wings, but smaller than the radii of the bushes. The elastic rubbers are compressed by compressively inserting the main body into the housing.
