Apparatus and method for information processing and program

摘要

An information processing apparatus includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire restriction information about imaging functions from an imaging device connected to a network, a setting control unit configured to display a setting window in which after a parameter for one imaging function is selected, selectable parameters for other imaging functions are restricted in accordance with the selected parameter on the basis of the restriction information so that the imaging functions to be used are selected, and an information processing unit configured to acquire image information about an image captured using the selected imaging functions via the network.

主权项

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
circuitry including: an acquisition circuitry portion configured to acquire restriction information about imaging functions specific to an imaging device, from the imaging device connected to a network; a setting control circuitry portion configured to display a setting window in which after a parameter for one imaging function is selected, selectable parameters for other imaging functions are restricted in accordance with the selected parameter based on the restriction information so that one or more parameters of the imaging functions to be used are set; and an information processing circuitry portion configured to acquire image information about an image captured using the one or more parameters of the imaging functions via the network, wherein the restriction information in the imaging device is updatable, wherein the information processing apparatus is configured to be operative in a system including plural imaging devices, including said imaging device, wherein the information processing apparatus and the imaging device are directly connected to the network.
