Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes: a memory that temporarily stores a program of operating system (OS); and a processor capable of supplying imaging data captured by an imaging unit based on the program of OS to only one of applications running on the OS, and of performing image processing on the imaging data based on an image processing program running on the OS. The processor is configured to when the imaging data is supplied to a first application, pass setting parameters used for the image processing from a second application other than the first application to the image processing via a registry of the OS.

Claims (14)

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a memory that temporarily stores a program of operating system (OS); and

a processor that

supplies imaging data captured by an imaging unit based on the program of OS to only one of applications running on the OS, and

performs image processing on the imaging data based on an image processing program running on the OS, wherein

the processor is configured to, when the imaging data is supplied to a first application, pass setting parameters used for the image processing program from a second application other than the first application to the image processing program via a registry of the OS.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to, when the imaging data is supplied to the second application, pass the setting parameters from the second application to the image processing program not via the registry.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to set the setting parameters output from the second application to the registry via a service, which changes settings of the registry, and then read the setting parameters set in the registry to pass the setting parameters to the image processing program.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the setting parameters are to adjust image quality of the imaging data.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to, when the imaging data is supplied to the first application, pass setting parameters related to imaging conditions for the imaging unit from the second application to the imaging unit via the registry.

6. A control method for an information processing apparatus including: a memory that temporarily stores a program of operating system (OS); and a processor supplies imaging data captured by an imaging unit based on the program of OS to only one of applications running on the OS, and performs image processing on the imaging data based on an image processing program running on the OS, the method comprising:

a step where the processor passes setting parameters used for the image processing program from a second application other than a first application to the image processing program via a registry of the OS;

a step where the processor performs image processing on the imaging data based on the setting parameters; and

a step where the processor supplies imaging data subjected to the imaging processing based on the setting parameters to the first application.
