Abstract: A ride-sharing assistance system includes a plurality of terminals and a ride-sharing assistance apparatus capable of communicating with each of the plurality of terminals. The ride-sharing assistance apparatus sends, when the number of inquiry signals received from at least two terminals of the plurality of terminals for requesting inquiry about a parking space available at a same destination is greater than a vacancy reference value in accordance with the number of available parking spaces within a certain range from the destination, a suggestion signal for suggesting ride-sharing on a vehicle owned by any one of users of the at least two terminals, from which the inquiry signal has been sent, to each of the at least two terminals from which the inquiry signal has been sent.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to make a transition from a provided screen, which is provided by a second service that cooperates with a first service that is being executed, to a first screen in a case where a first screen constituent element for receiving an instruction to display the first screen is selected on the provided screen, and not to display a second screen in a case where a second screen constituent element for receiving an instruction to display the second screen is selected on the provided screen.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to display a document having plural pages while applying a template, display a corresponding page each time an operation to switch the pages is received, and sequentially switch and display the template each time an operation to switch the template is received.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to acquire (i) an image including characters and (ii) a character-recognition result obtained by applying character recognition on the image, and display, to a viewer of the character-recognition result, each character in the image and a recognized character corresponding to the character in a uniform size and at positions adjusted to indicate correspondence between the character and the recognized character.

Abstract: A vehicle management apparatus includes: a communication unit communicating with a vehicle with lodging capability; a vehicle management control unit creating a travel plan based on information transmitted from a user terminal operated by a user, and managing travel of the vehicle; and an emergency vehicle management unit managing so that an emergency vehicle is deployed at a position so as to arrive at a route, on which the vehicle moves according to the travel plan, within a predetermined arrival time.

Abstract: A ride-sharing assistance apparatus includes a communication circuit capable of communicating with a plurality of terminals and a processor configured to calculate, upon receiving a ride-sharing request signal indicating a request for ride-sharing on a vehicle from at least two terminals of the plurality of terminals via the communication circuit, an evaluation score, for each combination of users of the at least two terminals, that represents compatibility between users included in the combination on the basis of information about a vehicle owned by each of the users of the at least two terminals, determine a combination of users having the highest evaluation score as the combination of users who will share a ride on a vehicle, and send a suggestion signal for suggesting ride-sharing on a vehicle to terminals of the users included in the determined combination of the at least two terminals via the communication circuit.

Abstract: A first terminal in a first vehicle included in a vehicle exterior information sharing system sends, when it is detected that a second vehicle is going to park around the first vehicle while the first vehicle is parked, vehicle exterior information on an object around the first vehicle, which is acquired by a sensor device installed on the first vehicle, and a second terminal in the second vehicle receives the vehicle exterior information sent by the first terminal and presents the received vehicle exterior information to a driver of the second vehicle.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes an estimating unit and a hiding unit. The estimating unit extracts a subject specifying mark image corresponding to a specifying mark from a recording area image corresponding to a recording area in which an image is recorded, plural predetermined types of specifying marks having predetermined attributes different from an attribute of the image of the recording area and being used for specifying a region within the recording area by using different specifying methods, at least one of the plural predetermined types of specifying marks being recorded in the recording area. The estimating unit estimates the type of specifying mark corresponding to the extracted subject specifying mark image. The hiding unit hides the region specified by the type of specifying mark estimated by the estimating unit by using a hiding method which is uniquely determined for the estimated type of specifying mark.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes following components. A blank-area identifying unit identifies a blank area having a size exceeding a predetermined size, from a non-specifying-mark image portion of a recording area image of a recording area that includes individual images and a specifying mark specifying an area containing images among the individual images. A concealing unit conceals a divided area specified by the specifying-mark image, among divided areas obtained by dividing a non-blank area by a gap having a width equal to or larger than a threshold in a specific direction, among gaps between the individual images arranged in the specific direction in the non-blank area. The non-blank area is an area of the non-specifying-mark image portion of the recording area image other than the blank area identified by the blank-area identifying unit.

Abstract: An image estimation apparatus includes: a forming unit that forms a reference frame with a size determined uniquely in accordance with a size of a recording region where an image is recorded; and an estimating unit that estimates a type of a single image based on a size of a bounding frame around the single image and the size of the reference frame formed by the forming unit, the single image being a target of type inference in an image contained in a designation region in a recording region image which is an image indicating the recording region where an image is recorded.
