Abstract

A system includes a light irradiating device configured to irradiate an object with light to illuminate a mark on the object, and an information processing device storing relation information and control information associated with the object, the relation information indicating a relation between the mark and the object, and the control information indicating a policy whether to distribute an image of the object to at least one device through a network, and configured to acquire the image of the object irradiated with the light to illuminate the mark on the object, extract the mark illuminated by the light on the object, identify the object associated with the extracted mark based on the relation information, and execute a process to control distribution of the image to the at least one device through the network, according to the policy for the image of the object in the control information.

Claims

1. A system comprising:

a light irradiating device configured to irradiate an object with light to illuminate a mark on the object; and

an information processing device including;

a first memory configured to store relation information and control information associated with the object, the relation information indicating a relation between the mark and the object, and the control information indicating a policy whether to distribute an image of the object to at least one device through a network; and

a first processor coupled to the first memory and configured to;

acquire the image obtained by a photograph of the object irradiated with the light to illuminate the mark on the object,

extract, from the image, the mark illuminated by the light on the object,

identify, from the image, the object associated with the extracted mark based on the relation information, and

execute a process to control distribution of the image to the at least one device through the network, according to the policy for the image of the object in the control information.

2. The system according to claim 1, wherein

the relation information further includes information corresponding to a location of the object and date and time of irradiation of the object with the light.

3. The system according to claim 1, wherein the first processor is configured to

transmit a notification indicating information relating to at least one of a posting of the image, a viewing of the image, and a combination thereof, to the at least one device through the network, to a terminal device.

4. The system according to claim 3 further comprising:

a management device including;

a second memory; and

a second processor coupled to the second memory and configured to;

receive, from the terminal device, a request to generate the control information and the relation information,

generate the control information and the relation information in response to the request, and

transmit the control information and the relation information to the information processing device.

5. The system according to claim 4, wherein the first processor is configured to:

receive, from the second processor, the control information and the relation information, and

store, in the first memory, the control information and the relation information.

6. An information processing device configured to receive an image of an object irradiated by light to illuminate a mark on the object, the information processing device comprising:

a memory configured to store relation information and control information associated with the object, the relation information indicating a relation between the mark and the object, and the control information indicating a policy whether to distribute an image of the object to at least one device through a network; and

a processor coupled to the memory and configured to;

acquire the image obtained by a photograph of the object irradiated with the light to illuminate the mark on the object,

extract, from the image, the mark illuminated by the light on the object,

identify, from the image, the object associated with the extracted mark based on the relation information, and

execute a process to control distribution of the image to the at least one device through the network, according to the policy for the image of the object in the stored control information.

7. The information processing device according to claim 6, wherein

the relation information further includes information corresponding to a location of the object and date and time of irradiation of the object with the light.

8. The information processing device according to claim 6, wherein the processor is configured to

transmit a notification indicating information relating to at least one of a posting of the image, a viewing of the image, and a combination thereof, to the at least one device through the network, to a terminal device.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program that causes an information processing apparatus to execute a process, the information processing apparatus being configured to receive an image of an object irradiated by light to illuminate a mark on the object, the process comprising:

storing, in a memory, relation information and control information associated with the object, the relation information indicating a relation between the mark and the object, and the control information indicating a policy whether to distribute an image of the object to at least one device through a network;

acquiring the image obtained by a photograph of the object irradiated with the light to illuminate the mark on the object;

extracting, from the acquired image, the mark illuminated by the light on the object;

identifying, from the acquired image, the object associated with the extracted mark based on the relation information; and

executing a process to control distribution of the acquired image to the at least one device through the network, according to the policy for the image of the object in the stored control information.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 9, wherein

the relation information further includes information corresponding to a location of the object and date and time of irradiation of the object with the light.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 9, wherein the process further comprises:

transmitting a notification indicating information relating to at least one of a posting of the image, a viewing of the image, and a combination thereof, to the at least one device through the network, to a terminal device.
