Image-related handling support system, information processing apparatus, and image-related handling support method

摘要

An image handling support system extracts an image corresponding to a support target image from images associated with a user with use of information indicating association established between the user and the images, from a user's activity on an SNS. Then, the image handling support system supports handling of the support target image based on the extracted image. The image handling support system provides support for acquisition of an output image that matches various image conditions and complies with a user's preference without requiring a complicated operation to be performed in advance.

主权项

1. An information processing system comprising:
one or more computer-readable media; and one or more processors that are coupled to the one or more computer readable media and that are configured to:
acquire association information indicating a plurality of images that are favorably evaluated by a second user who is associated with a first user, the association information defining an association graph in which each of a plurality of users including the first user and of the plurality of images uploaded onto an image sharing service is expressed as a respective node;calculate degrees of association between the first user and a plurality of the nodes based on information indicating distances among the plurality of the nodes according to the information related to the association graph, wherein a distance between two nodes is based on a number of hops between the two nodes;determine images within a predetermined degree of association with the first user;extract an image to be presented to the first user from the determined images, the extracted image having a similar photographing condition under which photographing has been performed, such that images are sequentially extracted starting from an image corresponding to a node having a highest degree of association with the first user, orextract an image to be presented for an image processing on a first image from the determined images, the extracted image being similar to the first image, such that images are sequentially extracted starting from an image corresponding to the node haying a highest degree of association with the first user;re-extract an image that has a lower degree of association with the first user than the predetermined degree of association of the images in response to a message indicating that no image is selected by the first user; andcontrol an apparatus corresponding to the first user to display the extracted image or the re-extracted image, in a case that the first user performs photographing or the image processing on the first image.
