  • Patent number: 11249629
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a connection unit, a processing execution unit, a setting unit, and a controller. The connection unit is capable of connecting input apparatuses that output operation information for executing an operation for an image displayed on a screen. The processing execution unit is capable of executing processing corresponding to the operation information on the image. The setting unit sets one of the input apparatuses as a main input apparatus, and sets the other input apparatuses as secondary input apparatuses. The controller performs control such that execution of the processing for the image by the processing execution unit based on the operation information from the input apparatus set as the main input apparatus is validated, and execution of the processing for the image by the processing execution unit based on the operation information from the input apparatuses set as the secondary input apparatuses is invalidated.

  • Patent number: 11227355
    Abstract: In one example embodiment, an information processing apparatus generates and causes a display device to display a first thumbnail image which is associated with annotation information. Using a size of the first thumbnail image, the information processing apparatus determines a display size of a first annotation which corresponds to the annotation information. Using the determined display size, the information processing apparatus determines a second annotation. In one example embodiment, the information processing apparatus causes a display device to display the determined second annotation overlapping the first thumbnail image.

  • Patent number: 10942965
    Abstract: A pathological image and a primary diagnosis result are obtained from a first terminal via a network, the first terminal being of a first user, the primary diagnosis result being a diagnosis result about the pathological image by the first user. The obtained pathological image and the primary diagnosis result are provided to at least one second terminal via the network, the one second terminal being of at least one second user. A browsing history and an opinion of the second user are obtained from the second terminal via the network, the browsing history at least including information on a displayed area in the pathological image, the opinion of the second user being about the primary diagnosis result based on observation of the pathological image by the second user. The obtained browsing history is estimated, and a reliability score of the obtained opinion is generated.

  • Patent number: 10871833
    Abstract: In one example embodiment, an information processing apparatus causes a display device to display a first image in a display range. In this embodiment, the first image is from images associated with an observation target object. The images include a first image, a second image, and a third image. In response to a request to change the display range, the information processing apparatus changes the display range at a first speed, and causes the display range to display the second image. In response to a request to terminate the change of the display range, the information processing apparatus changes the display range at a deceleration speed, and causes the display range to display the third image.
