  • Patent number: 11323450
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, a client system, and a control method of the client system that can reduce labor of authentication by a user without reducing a security level of a settlement process. The user wears a wearable device that performs fingerprint authentication and that periodically transmits position information to a bank server. In addition, the user operates a client apparatus including a smartphone, a PC, or the like to execute a settlement process. The client apparatus transmits position information of the client apparatus to a bank server in the settlement process. The bank server reduces a risk score if the wearable device and the client apparatus are at the same position based on the position information of the wearable device and the position information of the client apparatus. The present disclosure can be applied to a settlement processing system.

  • Patent number: 10187610
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present technology includes an input unit and a control unit. The input unit inputs a first image that is captured by a first imaging apparatus that sets a first imaging space as an imaging target, and a second image that is captured by a second imaging apparatus that sets a second imaging space different from the first imaging space as an imaging target and switched to/from the first image and displayed. The control unit outputs, when the first and second images are switched to each other, a switching moving image reflecting positional relevance between the first and second imaging spaces.

  • Publication number: 20170116709
    Abstract: To easily understand the contents of a moving image taken by an image taking apparatus. An image conversion block 150 converts a taken image on the basis of conversion information. A transparency conversion block 160 converts the transparency in the converted taken image. A image synthesis block 170 synthesizes the taken image with the transparency converted with a log image and holds a resultant new log image in an image memory 180. An index image extraction block 190 extracts a new index image from among the converted taken images on the basis of the coordinate position and size of an index image in an image taking space. A selection block 270 selects an index image on the basis of the position of a selected representative image when the position of a panorama image displayed on a display block 292 is selected. A display control block 291 displays a panorama image on the display block 292 and displays the selected index image, overlapped on the panorama image.
