Medical support system

A medical support system in which an information processing apparatus and an image capturing apparatus are communicably connected with a server,

• wherein the information processing apparatus transmits a subject identifier identifying a subject to the server,
• wherein the image capturing apparatus transmits previously captured image data acquired by the image capturing apparatus to the server, the image data not being associated with a particular subject, wherein the server includes one or more memories storing instructions and one or more processors that, upon execution of the instructions, configures the one or more processors of the server to perform operations including receiving the transmitted subject identifier about the subject
• and the transmitted previously captured image data, the received subject identifier identifying a subject with which image data previously captured by the image capturing apparatus is to be associated, and transmitting, to the information processing apparatus, subject information about the subject identified the received subject identifier and candidate image data based on at least part of the received previously captured image data, wherein the information processing apparatus includes one or more memories storing instructions and one or more processors that, upon execution of the instructions, configures the one or more processors of the information processing apparatus to perform operations including receiving, from the server, the transmitted candidate image data based on the at least part and the transmitted subject information about the subject, and controlling a display to display, for selection, at least one candidate image corresponding to the received candidate image data based on the at least part of the previously captured image data and subject information about the subject corresponding to the received subject identifier, wherein the candidate image data and the subject information are displayed in such a manner to indicate that the candidate image data is not currently associated with the displayed subject information, and acquiring information representing a selection by a user of the at least one candidate image, the acquired information instructing the server to form an association between the image data that was previously captured by the image capturing apparatus and which corresponds to the selected at least one candidate image and the subject identifier identifying the subject, wherein in a case where transmission of acquired information for instructing the server to form the association to the server is received by the server, the previously captured image data acquired by the image capturing apparatus and which corresponds to the selected at least one candidate image is associated with the subject identifier identifying the subject.

An information processing apparatus communicably connected with a server, the information processing apparatus comprising:

• one or more memories storing instructions;
• and one or more processors that, upon executing the stored instructions, configure the one or more processors to perform operations including transmitting, to the server, a subject identifier for identifying a subject;
• receiving, from the server, candidate image data based on at least part of image data that was previously captured by at least one image capturing apparatus, and subject information about the identified subject;
• controlling a display to display for selection, at least one candidate image corresponding to the received candidate image data based on the at least part of the previously captured image data, and the subject information corresponding to the transmitted subject identifier about the subject, wherein the at least one candidate image and the subject information are display in such a manner to indicate that the at least one candidate image is not currently associated with the displayed subject information;
• and acquiring information representing a selection by a user of the at least one candidate image, the acquired information instructing the server to form an association between the image data that was previously captured and which corresponds to the selected at least one candidate image and the subject identifier identifying the subject.

A server communicably connected with an information processing apparatus and at least one image capturing apparatus that is configured to transmit, to the server, image data obtained by the at least one capturing apparatus, the server comprising:

• one or more memories storing instructions;
• and
• one or more processors that, upon executing the stored instructions, configure the one or more processors to perform operations including
• receiving, from the at least one image capturing apparatus, image data previously captured by the at least one image capturing apparatus, the image data not being associated with a particular subject;
• receiving, from the information processing apparatus, a subject identifier that identifies a subject with which image data previously captured by the at least one image capturing apparatus is to be associated;
• and
• transmitting, to the information processing apparatus, candidate image data based on at least part of the received previously captured image data, and subject information about the subject identified by using the received subject identifier, wherein the transmitted subject information and candidate image data are displayed, by the information processing apparatus, to indicate that the candidate image data and the subject information are not currently associated with each other and in such a manner that enables selection of at least one candidate image data based on the at least part of the previously captured image data,
• based on information representing a selection by a user of at least one candidate image of the candidate image data from the information processing apparatus, forming an association between the image data previously captured by the at least one image capturing apparatus and that corresponds to the selected at least one candidate image with the subject identifier information identifying the subject.
