Information processing apparatus, image processing apparatus, and method of controlling the same
According to an aspect of the disclosure, an information processing apparatus comprising a communication circuit and a control circuit is provided. The control circuit transmits reduced image data of captured image data, to a first external apparatus through the communication circuit; receives, from the first external apparatus, a result of evaluation processing applied to the reduced image data; on the basis of the result of the evaluation processing, determines whether to apply image processing to the captured image data corresponding to the reduced image data, by a second external apparatus; transmits the captured image data that is determined to be applied the image processing, to the second external apparatus through the communication circuit; and receives, from the second external apparatus, a result of the image processing applied to the captured image data.
1. An information processing apparatus comprising a communication circuit and a control circuit,
wherein the control circuit:
transmits reduced image data of captured image data, to a first external apparatus through the communication circuit,
receives, from the first external apparatus, a result of evaluation processing applied to the reduced image data,
on the basis of the result of the evaluation processing, determines whether to apply image processing to the captured image data corresponding to the reduced image data, by a second external apparatus,
transmits the captured image data that is determined to be applied the image processing, to the second external apparatus through the communication circuit, and
receives, from the second external apparatus, a result of the image processing applied to the captured image data.
2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the first external apparatus and the second external apparatus are located on a network.
3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the information processing apparatus communicates with the first external apparatus over a network that does not incur a cost for use or a communication amount, and communicates with the second external apparatus over a network that incurs a cost for use or a communication amount.
4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the evaluation processing is subject recognition processing.
5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the image processing applied by the second external apparatus includes image processing that cannot be performed by the information processing apparatus.
6. A control method for an information processing apparatus, the method comprising:
transmitting reduced image data of captured image data to a first external apparatus through a communication circuit of the information processing apparatus,
receiving, from the first external apparatus, a result of evaluation processing applied to the reduced image data;
on the basis of the result of the evaluation processing, determining whether to apply image processing to the captured image data corresponding to the reduced image data, by a second external apparatus;
transmitting the captured image data that is determined to be applied the image processing, to the second external apparatus through the communication circuit; and
receiving, from the second external apparatus, a result of the image processing applied to the captured image data.
7. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program for causing a computer to function as an information processing apparatus comprising:
a communication unit, and
a control unit,
wherein the control unit:
transmits reduced image data of captured image data, to a first external apparatus through the communication unit,
receives, from the first external apparatus, a result of evaluation processing applied to the reduced image data,
on the basis of the result of the evaluation processing, determines whether to apply image processing to the captured image data corresponding to the reduced image data, by a second external apparatus,
transmits the captured image data that is determined to be applied the image processing, to the second external apparatus through the communication unit, and
receives, from the second external apparatus, a result of the image processing applied to the captured image data.
