Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes an image extraction image data input unit, a frame image data extraction unit, and an angle of view adjustment unit. The image extraction image data input unit accepts, in parallel with photography to acquire moving image data, image extraction image data representing a still image and acquired by photographing an event. The frame image data extraction unit extracts frame image data from the moving image data using extraction information included in the image extraction image data. The angle of view adjustment unit adjusts an angle of view to an angle of view region in an image represented by the frame image data, based on angle of view setting information included in the image extraction image data.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes an image database, a communication device, and a control device. The image database stores image data that has been uploaded and enables sharing of the image data among users. The communication device performs data communication with the outside through a network. The control device functions as a searcher and an output device. The searcher searches the image database to extract a similar image that satisfies a condition that the similar image has an image portion with a high degree of identity with a designated image, which has been designated from a user terminal through the network via the communication device, at at least a predetermined ratio. The output device transmits similar image data of the similar image extracted by the searcher to the user terminal.

Abstract: A display device has an image shooting unit, a display unit, an operation portion, and a processing unit. The processing unit recognizes a particular segment included in a shot image. The processing unit makes the display unit display an added image indicating the particular segment in a form superimposed on the shot image. The processing unit changes the display as to the added image according to operations on the operation portion.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a moving image accepting unit, a detecting unit, an image extracting unit, a screen creating unit, a selection accepting unit, and an image output unit. The screen creating unit creates an operation screen for each of the scenes. The operation screen displays frame images in a list. The frame images constitute each of the scenes extracted by the image extracting unit. The selection accepting unit accepts a selection of a representative image in the operation screen created by the screen creating unit. The representative image represents the scenes among the frame images displayed in the list. The image output unit outputs the representative image accepted by the selection accepting unit.

Abstract: A server is communicable with at least one terminal used by a traveler and generates guidebook data of a guidebook for display or printing by the terminal The server includes a reception section, a guidebook data generating section, and a transmission section. The reception section receives, from the terminal, basic information pertaining to a trip being planned by the traveler and characteristic information indicating a characteristic of the traveler. The guidebook generating section prepares one or more travel plans that are appropriate for the traveler based on the basic information and the characteristic information received from the terminal, and based on reference information acquired from at least one external server. The guidebook generating section generates guidebook data of a guidebook indicating each of the travel plans prepared thereby. The transmission section transmits the generated guidebook data to the terminal.
