Abstract

An image processing device comprising a processor configured to: determine presence or absence of a face image for each of a plurality of pieces of image data read from at least one image presenting medium, and decide a relationship for the plurality of pieces of image data, based on a result of the determination. The relationship is a front and back of the image presenting medium or a page order, and the processor is further configured to: decides that image data including a face image is on a front side of the image presenting medium or on a page before image data not including a face image.

Claims (21)

1. An image processing device comprising a processor configured to:

determine presence or absence of a face image for two pieces of image data read from one image presenting medium;

decide a relationship of the two pieces of image data, in a case when the processor determines only one of the two pieces of image data includes a face image; and

swap an output order of the image data, in accordance with the decided relationship.

2. An image processing device comprising a processor configured to:

determine presence or absence of a face image for two pieces of image data read from one image presenting medium; and

perform a display for prompting a user to perform an operation, in a case when the processor determines that a face image is included in both of the two pieces of image data, or in a case when the processor determines that a face image is not included in either of the two pieces of image data.

3. An image processing method comprising:

determining presence or absence of a face image for two pieces of image data read from one image presenting medium;

deciding a relationship of the two pieces of image data in response to determining that only one of the two pieces of image data includes a face image; and

swapping an output order of the image data, in accordance with the decided relationship.

4. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing thereon a computer program that causes a computer to perform a method comprising:

determining presence or absence of a face image for two pieces of image data read from one image presenting medium;

deciding a relationship of the two pieces of image data in response to determining that only one of the two pieces of image data includes a face image; and

swapping an output order of the image data, in accordance with the decided relationship.

5. An image processing method comprising:

determining presence or absence of a face image for two pieces of image data read from one image presenting medium; and

performing a display for prompting a user to perform an operation in response to determining that a face image is included in both of the two pieces of image data, or in response to determining that a face image is not included in either of the two pieces of image data.

6. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing thereon a computer program that causes a computer to perform a method comprising:

determining presence or absence of a face image for two pieces of image data read from one image presenting medium; and

performing a display for prompting a user to perform an operation in response to determining that a face image is included in both of the two pieces of image data, or in response to determining that a face image is not included in either of the two pieces of image data.
