Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes an authenticating unit, a detection unit, and a controller. The authenticating unit authenticates an operator. The detection unit detects whether or not there is any set value that has been changed from an initial value among one or more set values for one or more setting items. The controller performs control so as not to change the one or more set values for the one or more setting items to one or more set values registered for the operator authenticated by the authenticating unit in the case where the detection unit detects that there is any set value that has been changed from the initial value.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a display unit, a changing unit, an image display unit, and an update unit. The display unit displays a first display area and a second display area. The second display area is an area in which a display element representing a function is disposed. The changing unit changes a setting value of the function to a different setting value in accordance with a received instruction to change a setting. When the setting value of the function is changed, the image display unit displays an image representing the function whose setting value is changed, in the first display area. While the image in the first display area remains to be displayed, the update unit changes the display of the second display area in which information about the function is displayed, in response to a received instruction to update the display.

The determination unit re-determines whether each image received by the image reception unit corresponds to the separator image based on the criterion after the criterion is modified by the criterion modifying unit.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a controller programmed to receive image data and also receive, from a user, an input number of separators included in the received image data. The controller detects a number of times a separator is included in the received image data based on criteria for detecting the separator, and determines, based on the detected number of times and the input number of separators, whether the criteria needs to be modified. In response to determining that the criteria needs to be modified, the controller modifies the criteria for detecting the separator and repeats detection of a number of times the separator is included in the received image data based on the modified criteria for detecting the separator.

The identity determination unit compares feature amounts extracted from pieces of the image data identified by pieces of the image log information, to determine identity among the image data. The replacement unit replaces information to identify a piece of the image data, which are determined to be identical, with information to identify another piece of the image data.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes an image capturing section, a marker-image defecting section, a judging section and an output section. The image capturing section captures at least a part of a target image, which includes a plurality of marker images and a recognition target range defined by the plurality of marker images, to acquire a captured image. The marker-image detecting section detects the marker images from the captured image. The judging section judges based on a detection result, whether or not the recognition target range is included in the captured image. When the judging section judges that the recognition target range is not included in the captured image, the output section outputs guidance for capturing the recognition target range.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes an image accepting module, a number accepting module, a discriminating module and a criterion modifying module. The image accepting module receives image data of plural images. The number accepting module receives the number of images delimiting the received images. The number is input by a user. The discriminating module determines whether or not each of the received images corresponds to the images delimiting the received images based on a criterion. The criterion modifying module changes the criterion when the number of images determined as an image corresponding to the images delimiting the received images is not in a given relationship with the received number. The discriminating module determines, after the criterion is changed, whether or not each of the received images corresponds to the images delimiting the received images based on the modified criterion.
