Abstract: In the image processing device, a moving image analysis section performs image analysis for an analysis target moving image for which image analysis has not yet been performed, and generates second analysis result data about the analysis target moving image, including an analysis result thereof. A similar data detection section collates first analysis result data generated by performing image analysis for a still image owned by a user with the second analysis result data, and detects second analysis result data of which a similarity to the first analysis result data is equal to or greater than a reference value as similarity analysis result data. A moving image information output section selects an analysis target moving image including the similarity analysis result data from among the analysis target moving images as the processing target moving image, and outputs information about the selected processing target moving image.

Abstract: A one-dimensional barcode resizing device includes a device obtaining information regarding a structure of a one-dimensional barcode, a device obtaining information regarding a resolution of a display device displaying the one-dimensional barcode, and a device determining a scaling factor of the one-dimensional barcode based on the information regarding the structure of the one-dimensional barcode and the information regarding the resolution of the display device, the scaling factor at which a space width of the one-dimensional barcode is equal to an integral multiple of a width of a display pixel of a display device displaying the one-dimensional barcode, the one-dimensional barcode is within a display area of the display device, and a length of the one-dimensional barcode is equal to a read width of a barcode reader required for reading the one-dimensional barcode or more.

Abstract: In order to precisely extract a character in an image displayed at a terminal device in the case that an imaged web page is sent to the terminal device and the web page is browsed at the terminal device, a server acquires the web page from the Internet, generates the image from the acquired web page, and sends the image to a client terminal, the client terminal receives the image, displays the image on a display part, specifies a rectangular area, and sends information regarding the specified rectangular area to the server, and the server extracts the image in the rectangular area from the image of the web page, recognizes a text by an OCR process, extracts a text from a source of an HTML file which matches the recognized text most closely, and sends the extracted text to the client terminal.

Abstract: First, a mobile terminal displays a parent evidence photo previously selected on an image display and then accepts a specification of an association position, which is a desired position for associating a child evidence photo on the parent evidence photo through an operation device. And then, the mobile terminal accepts an instruction to shoot an image from a user, and starts shooting and stores the shot the child evidence photo in a memory. The child evidence photo stored in the memory is displayed on the image display. The mobile terminal associates the child evidence photo stored in the memory with the ID of the parent evidence photo, coordinate information indicating the specified position on the parent evidence photo, and the shooting point ID uniquely allocated to the position, and then stores the associated child evidence photo in the memory again.

Abstract: A face detector includes a detection processor for detecting a facial image from a frame of a motion picture according to template matching by use of a parameter, or a window size and window shift of a window. A parameter controller assigns the detection processor with a predetermined normal variation range of the parameter, to carry out face detection of a first frame of the motion picture according to the normal variation range, determines a limited variation range smaller than the normal variation range according to at least one of a value of the parameter used for the face detection of the first frame and the facial image of the first frame. The detection processor is assigned with the limited variation range, to carry out face detection of a succeeding frame after the first frame of the motion picture according to the limited variation range.

Abstract: A web page is displayed comparatively quickly. To achieve this, a web page in which a plurality of link destinations have been embedded by items of hot text is displayed on the display screen of a terminal device in response to a web server being accessed by the terminal device. A web page having a high likelihood of being selected next from among the web pages at the link destinations specified by the items of hot text is decided based upon an access log. The web page thus decided is generated ahead of time. If a request for this previously generated web page arrives at the web server, the previously generated web page data is transmitted from the web server to the terminal device. If a request for web page data that has not been generated in advance arrives at the web server, then the web server generates the web page data in accordance with the request and transmits the web page data to the terminal device.

Abstract: In order to extract a still image from a motion image in relation to music included in the motion image, structural information indicating a structure of music included in a motion image read in by an image read-in unit is obtained by a structural information obtaining unit. A timing for extracting a still image representative of the motion image is set by a timing setting unit based on the structural information and a predetermined image extraction parameter. Then, a frame corresponding to the determined timing is extracted by an extraction unit as the still image.

Abstract: Segmentation of the faces and facial parts, such as eyes, mouths, and noses included in an image is avoided as much as possible, when the image is divided to perform divided printing, for example. Whether the size of each of a specified number of smaller regions is greater than the size of a main facial region is judged. In the case that the result of judgment is affirmative, a first division setting section sets a division region and division locations such that the boundaries of the smaller regions are at positions other than that of the main facial region. In the case that the result of judgment is negative, a second division setting section sets a division region and division locations such that the boundaries of the smaller regions are at positions other than those of the facial parts included in the main facial region.

Abstract: A rotational speed of a fan is maintained at a preset one when an angle of a flap is at a maximum air-flow angle, increased by a specified value when the angle of the flap has been changed by a specified angle in the direction away from the position of the maximum air-flow angle, and decreased by a specified value when the angle of the flap has been changed by a specified angle in the direction toward the position of the maximum air-flow angle. It is possible to prevent any occurrence of condensation and air-flow pulsating noise without needing any complex control such as load response control and yet without requiring any complicate construction in the flap.
