Method of processing plurality of images arranged in chronological order
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for processing all of a plurality of captured images arranged in chronological order, comprising the steps of:
- comparing two consecutive images in the plurality of captured images;
determining whether the latter image of the consecutive images has a reduced amount of display content relative to the earlier image of the consecutive images and whether the reduction in the amount of display content meets a certain threshold,when the latter image has a reduced amount of display content relative to the earlier image, identifying the earlier image as a selected image;
when the reduction in the amount of display content meets the certain threshold, identifying the earlier image as a delimiting image;
displaying the selected images and the delimiting images.

Abstract
A meeting data conversion application executed in a PC successively obtains the first and last images and an image immediately before reduction of display content, among a plurality of images arranged in chronological order. Among the obtained images, an image immediately before reduction of display content by a prescribed amount or more and the last image are registered as delimiting images. Among the obtained images, the images from the image immediately after the delimiting image to the next delimiting image are processed as one image group.

15. A non-transient computer-readable recording medium having a program stored therein for processing all of a plurality of captured images arranged in chronological order, said program causing a computer to perform the following steps:
-
comparing two consecutive images in the plurality of captured images; determining whether the latter image of the consecutive images has a reduced amount of display content relative to the earlier image of the consecutive images and whether the reduction in the amount of display content meets a certain threshold; when the latter image has a reduced amount of display content relative to the earlier image, identifying the earlier image as a selected image; when the reduction in the amount of display content meets the certain threshold, identifying the earlier image as a delimiting image; and displaying the selected images and the delimiting images. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)

29. An image processing apparatus adapted for processing all of a plurality of captured images arranged in chronological order, comprising a processor and a memory, the processor programmed to:
-
compare two consecutive images in the plurality of images, determine whether the latter image of the consecutive images has a reduced amount of display content relative to the earlier image of the consecutive images and whether the reduction in the amount of display content meets a certain threshold, when the latter image has a reduced amount of display content relative to the earlier image, identify the earlier image as a selected image, when the reduction in the amount of display content meets the certain threshold, identify the earlier image as a delimiting image, and display the selected images and the delimiting images.
