INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM
First Claim
1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a feature extraction unit that extracts an extracted feature value indicating a characteristic of a target image, from a feature extraction area which has been set by a user; and
a storage unit that stores the extracted feature value extracted by the feature extraction unit in a database,wherein the storage unit includesa determination unit that calculates a degree of similarity to the extracted feature value extracted by the feature extraction unit, for each of feature values stored in the database, and that determines whether or not a feature value whose degree of similarity to the extracted feature value extracted by the feature extraction unit is equal to or more than a certain value is stored in the database,a unit that stores the extracted feature value extracted by the feature extraction unit in the database when it is determined that a feature value whose degree of similarity to the extracted feature value extracted by the feature extraction unit is equal to or more than the certain value is not stored in the database, anda notification unit that outputs predetermined notification information to the user without storing the extracted feature value extracted by the feature extraction unit in the database, when it is determined that a feature value whose degree of similarity to the extracted feature value extracted by the feature extraction unit is equal to or more than the certain value is stored in the database.

Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes a feature extraction unit, and a storage unit. The feature extraction unit extracts an extracted feature value indicating a characteristic of a target image, from a feature extraction area set by a user. The storage unit stores the extracted feature value in a database and includes a determination unit, a second storage unit, and a notification unit. The determination unit calculates a degree of similarity to the extracted feature value for each feature value in the database, and determines whether a feature value whose degree of similarity to the extracted feature value is a certain value or more is stored in the database. The second storage unit stores the extracted feature value in the database when the determination result is negative. The notification unit outputs a predetermined notification to the user without storing the extracted feature value, when the determination result is positive.

12. An information processing apparatus comprising:
-
a feature extraction unit that extracts a feature value indicating a characteristic of a target image; a registration accepting unit that accepts a first target image and an instruction for registration in a database; a storage unit that associates a first feature value extracted by the feature extraction unit with a predetermined URL so as to store the first feature value extracted by the feature extraction unit and the predetermined URL in the database; a search accepting unit that accepts a second target image and a search instruction; and a search unit that compares a second feature value of the second target image extracted by the feature extraction unit with each of feature values registered in the database, and that, when it is determined that a similar feature value is registered in the database, transmits a reply including a URL associated with the similar feature value to an apparatus from which the search instruction has been transmitted, wherein the storage unit includes a determination unit that calculates a degree of similarity to the first feature value extracted by the feature extraction unit, for each of the feature values stored in the database, and that determines whether or not a feature value whose degree of similarity to the first feature value extracted by the feature extraction unit is equal to or more than a certain value is stored in the database, a unit that stores the first feature value extracted by the feature extraction unit in the database when it is determined that a feature value whose degree of similarity to the first feature value extracted by the feature extraction unit is equal to or more than the certain value is not stored in the database, and a notification unit that, when it is determined that a feature value whose degree of similarity to the first feature value extracted by the feature extraction unit is equal to or more than the certain value is stored in the database, does not store the first feature value extracted by the feature extraction unit in the database and that outputs predetermined notification information to a user.

13. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process comprising:
-
extracting an extracted feature value indicating a characteristic of a target image, from a feature extraction area which has been set by a user; and storing the extracted feature value in a database, wherein the storing of the extracted feature value includes calculating a degree of similarity to the extracted feature value for each of feature values stored in the database, and determining whether or not a feature value whose degree of similarity to the extracted feature value is equal to or more than a certain value is stored in the database, storing the extracted feature value in the database when it is determined that a feature value whose degree of similarity to the extracted feature value is equal to or more than the certain value is not stored in the database, and outputting predetermined notification information to the user without storing the extracted feature value in the database, when it is determined that a feature value whose degree of similarity to the extracted feature value is equal to or more than the certain value is stored in the database.
