Abstract
An information processing apparatus for processing an image includes circuitry unit and a communication interface. The circuitry acquires identification information to identify a set of one or more objects to be imaged by an imaging device according to a predetermined imaging sequence. The communication interface transmits at least one image of the set of one or more objects that is captured by the imaging device in association with the identification information, to a management device.
Claims20
An information processing apparatus, comprising:
- circuitry configured to:
- acquire floor-plan information and identification information of a real-estate property;
- identify rooms to be imaged based on the floor plan information and the identification information to obtain identified rooms;
- determine an order in which the identified rooms are to be imaged;
- inform, based on the order which was determined, the identified rooms, and the floor-plan information, a user of a room whose image is to be captured;
- instruct physical placement of the camera to image at least one area of the room;
- receive an image of the at least one area of the informed room that has been captured by an imaging device;
- and
- transmit, to a management device, the received image in association with the identification information.
A method, comprising:
- acquiring floor-plan information and identification information of a real-estate property;
- identifying rooms to be imaged based on the floor plan information and the identification information to obtain identified rooms;
- determining an order in which the identified rooms are to be imaged;
- informing, based on the order which was determined, the identified rooms, and the floor-plan information, a user of a room whose image is to be captured;
- instructing physical placement of the camera to image at least one area of the room;
- receiving an image of the at least one area of the informed room that has been captured by an imaging device;
- and
- transmitting, to a management device, the received image in association with the identification information.
A non-transitory computer readable medium including computer instructions which when executed cause a method to be performed, comprising:
- acquiring floor-plan information and identification information of a real-estate property;
- identifying rooms to be imaged based on the floor plan information and the identification information to obtain identified rooms;
- determining an order in which the identified rooms are to be imaged;
- informing, based on the order which was determined, the identified rooms, and the floor-plan information, a user of a room whose image is to be captured;
- instructing physical placement of the camera to image at least one area of the room;
- receiving an image of the at least one area of the informed room that has been captured by an imaging device;
- and
- transmitting, to a management device, the received image in association with the identification information.
