Information processing method, information processing apparatus, and storage medium storing program

An information processing apparatus operable to output album data corresponding to an album in which images are laid out, the apparatus comprising:

• an obtaining unit configured to obtain information corresponding to each of a plurality of images;
• a selection unit configured to, based on the information obtained by the obtaining unit, select, from the plurality of images, a plurality of analysis target images;
• an analysis unit configured to execute a predetermined analysis on the plurality of analysis target images selected by the selection unit;
• and
• an output unit configured to, in a case where, a number of images that are selected by the selection unit and that satisfy a predetermined criterion as a result of the predetermined analysis executed by the analysis unit is a predetermined number or greater, output an album in which images included in the predetermined number or greater of images are laid out,
• wherein
• in a case where images satisfying the predetermined criterion among the plurality of analysis target images are selected by the selection unit in accordance with a predetermined selection condition and the number of the selected images is less than the predetermined number, the predetermined analysis is executed by the analysis unit on a predetermined image not selected by the predetermined selection condition, and album data corresponding to an album in which the predetermined number or greater of images including the predetermined image are laid out based on the result of the predetermined analysis by the output unit.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program which, when executed by a computer comprising a processor and a memory, causes the computer to:

• obtain information corresponding to each of a plurality of images;
• select a plurality of analysis target images from the plurality of images, based on the obtained information;
• execute a predetermined analysis on the plurality of selected analysis target images;
• and
• in a case where, a number of images that are selected in the selection and that satisfy a predetermined criterion as a result of the executed predetermined analysis is a predetermined number or greater of images, output album data corresponding to an album in which images included in the predetermined number or greater of images are laid out,
• wherein
• in case where images satisfying the predetermined criterion among the plurality of analysis target images are selected in the selection in accordance with a predetermined selection condition and the number of the selected images is less than the predetermined number, the predetermined analysis is executed on a predetermined image not selected by the predetermined selection condition, and album data corresponding to an album in which the predetermined number or greater of images including the predetermined image are laid out is output based on the result of the predetermined analysis in the outputting.
