Patent number: 11102448Abstract: An image processing system includes circuitry to: obtain a wide-angle image captured by an image capturing apparatus; generate a first image representing a part of the wide-angle image; and determine whether a first area includes a second area, the first area being a viewable area to be displayed on a display, the second area being represented by the first image. Based on a determination that the first area does not include the second area, the circuitry further converts the first image into a second image, the second image having definition lower than that of the first image, and converts the wide-angle image into a third image, the third image having definition lower than that of the wide-angle image, such that the second image and the third image are displayable on the display of the information processing apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2020Date of Patent: August 24, 2021Assignee: Ricoh Company, Ltd.Inventors: Yoshiyuki Toda, Tomohiro Ikeda, Yoshinaga Kato, Makoto Torikoshi

Patent number: 10834162Abstract: A communication management server manages communication with a sender terminal that transmits image data and a receive terminal that receives the image data. The communication management server includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry receives from the receive terminal, sender terminal identification information identifying the sender terminal, and receive terminal identification information identifying the receive terminal. The processing circuitry transmits, to the sender terminal, request information indicating a request for transmitting image data of a first image type playable by the receive terminal, when a second image type of image data transmittable by the sender terminal according to the sender terminal identification information, and the first image type of image data playable by the receive terminal, according to the receive terminal identification information, are different.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2019Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Assignee: RICOH COMPANY, LTD.Inventors: Yoshinaga Kato, Makoto Torikoshi, Yoshiyuki Toda, Tomohiro Ikeda
