Abstract: A membership social network system includes a processor configured to select a picture type among a plurality of picture types, and to, according to parameters, change a tone of original image data, which is uploaded from a member terminal to a server, to a tone of a selected picture type, a browse controller configured to make a tone-changed image data, which is created by the processor, browsable on the member terminal, and a grouping module configured to group a member who uploads the original image data and a member who creates the tone-changed image data.

Abstract: A mobile terminal includes an image capturing unit, an image processing unit, a control unit, and a key input unit. The image capturing unit captures an image. The image processing unit continuously drives the image capturing unit and acquires data of a plurality of images. The control unit generates decorative data based on the plurality of image data, the decorative data including image data indicative of an image having only an object common to the plurality of images nontransparent. The key input unit inputs a character from an external operation. The control unit determines whether or not character information associated with decorative information is contained in a text constituted by the character information inputted by the key input unit, and substitutes the character information with the decorative data associated therewith if it is determined that the character information is included.

Abstract: A social network service system includes a server wherein a terminal of a member is connectable to the server. The server includes a memory configured to store a home screen includes top image data for each member, a selector configured to select a type of an image processing, and a processor configured to process, at a predetermined timing, the top image data of a member in accordance with the type of the image processing which is selected by the selector.

Abstract: There is provided a motion picture playing method for playing a motion picture image on a display unit, and the motion picture playing method includes a motion picture image-obtaining step for obtaining the motion picture image, a character string-obtaining step for obtaining a character string scrolled and displayed in a predetermined direction overlaid on the motion picture image obtained in the motion picture image-obtaining step, and a control step for controlling a display mode for scrolling and displaying the character string based on a length of the character string in the predetermined direction obtained in the character string-obtaining step, and a playing time of the motion picture image obtained in the motion picture image-obtaining step.

Abstract: There is provided a network system in which image data items are uploaded from a plurality of user terminals to a server and images are opened to public among the users. The system includes a category division unit configured to divide the works classified into the categories into a first group of works with each of which the counted browse request number of times is greater than or equal to a predetermined number, and a second group of works other than the works in the first group, and classify one of the first and second groups of the divided works as another category different from the categories.

Abstract: An image display system includes a transmission unit configured to cause a terminal to transmit images to a server through a network, a storage configured to store the images transmitted by the transmission unit, a layout unit configured to write resized images of the images stored in the storage into a display buffer, and a display control unit configured to display resized images on the terminal, which are in a display region of the display buffer, wherein the display control unit is configured to change a position of the display region such that a first resized image is more frequently displayed than a second resized image.

Abstract: An image display method comprises uploading images from a terminal of users to a server via a network, storing the images uploaded by the users in the server, calculating a value of the stored images, displaying a predetermined number of images among the stored images at the terminal in a manner in accordance with the value of the images.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus comprises a storage configured to store an original image, a processor configured to change a tone of a reduced image of the original image, a display configured to display a tone-changed reduced image, a connection determination unit configured to determine whether the image processing apparatus is connected to a network, a transmitter configured to transmit the original image to the server via the network together with data indicating a tone when the image processing apparatus is connected to the network, a controller configured to cause the processor to change the tone of the original image when the image processing apparatus is not connected to the network, and a receiver configured to receive the original image whose tone is changed by the server when the image processing apparatus is connected to the network.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a first display controller configured to display a first image, a touch area detector configured to detect a touched area of the displayed first image, a first processor configured to change a tone of the touched area of the first image, a storage configured to store touched areas detected by the touch area detector, a second display controller configured to display a second image instead of the first image, and a second processor configured to change tones of the touched areas of the second image which are stored in the storage.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a display device configured to display an image, a touch area detector configured to detect a touched area of the image displayed by the display unit, and a processor configured to change a tone of the touched area of the image.

Abstract: A mobile terminal 100 includes an image capturing unit 110, an image processing unit 111, a control unit 101, and a key input unit 114. The image capturing unit 110 captures an image. The image processing unit continuously drives the image capturing unit and acquires data of a plurality of images. The control unit 101 generates decorative data based on the plurality of image data, the decorative data including image data indicative of an image having only an object common to the plurality of images nontransparent. The key input unit 114 inputs a character from an external operation. The control unit 101 determines whether or not character information associated with decorative information is contained in a text constituted by the character information inputted by the key input unit 114, and substitutes the character information with the decorative data associated therewith if it is determined that the character information is included.
