Application program, smart device, information processing apparatus, information processing system, and information processing method

An information processing apparatus configured to receive a verification information/virtual display panel-added photo image that has been created by a smart device, the smart device including

• an imaging device configured to capture a photo image;
• an input device configured to input data to a predetermined field of a virtual display panel image;
• a first storage device configured to store program instructions;
• and
• a first processor that executes the program instructions stored in the first storage device, the execution of the program instructions causing the first processor to
• create a virtual display panel-added photo image by superimposing the virtual display panel image having the data input to the predetermined field by the input device on the photo image captured by the imaging device;
• generate first verification information with respect to the virtual display panel-added photo image based on at least the photo image of the virtual display panel-added photo image;
• and
• create a verification information/virtual display panel-added photo image that stores the first verification information and the data input to the predetermined field as metadata of the verification information/virtual display panel-added photo image;
• the information processing apparatus comprising:
• a second storage device configured to store program instructions;
• and
• a second processor that executes the program instructions stored in the second storage device, the execution of the program instructions causing the second processor to
• acquire the first verification information and the data input to the predetermined field from the verification information/virtual display panel-added photo image received from the smart device;
• create a verification information generating image to be used for generating second verification information, the verification information generating image being created by removing at least the first verification information from the received verification information/virtual display panel-added photo image;
• generate the second verification information based on the verification information generating image;
• and
• verify the generated second verification information with respect to the acquired first verification information, and output a verification result.
