  • Patent number: 11321764
    Abstract: Provided are an information processing apparatus and an information processing method that can propose makeup that brings parts constituting a user's face closer to an ideal arrangement. A user's face image is captured, parts of the user's face image are recognized on the basis of the face image, and a best balance face image in which the parts are optimally arranged and have optimum sizes. Makeup on the user's face image is closer to the best balance face image is set, and a recipe image displaying a process of the makeup is generated and displayed.

  • Patent number: 10044914
    Abstract: An imaging system 10 includes a control unit 15. An imaging device 20 and an information processing device 60 include a fixed state in which the devices are fixed to each other, and a separated state in which the devices are separated from each other. The control unit 15 correlates disturbance information, which indicates disturbance affecting image data or audio data generated by the imaging device 20, with image data generated by the imaging device 20 at the time of disturbance on the basis of fixation/separation information indicating the fixed state or the separated state of the imaging device 20 and the information processing device 60. Accordingly, a low-quality portion in a captured image is easily detectable on the basis of disturbance information correlated with image data.

  • Patent number: 9973616
    Abstract: An imaging system includes a control unit. Also, an imaging device and an information processing device with a cellular phone function include a fixed state in which the devices are fixed to each other, and a separated state in which the devices are separated from each other. Fixation/separation information indicates the fixed state or the separated state. The control unit performs, for the imaging device or the information processing device, different state controls in accordance with the fixation/separation information and an operation state of the cellular phone function. For example, user-friendliness of both the cellular phone function of the information processing device and an imaging function of the imaging device improves by performing different state controls at the time of reception of an incoming call, an incoming call responding state, and an incoming call response end in accordance with the fixed state or the separated state.
