Abstract

[Problem] To provide an information processing system and information processing method capable of outputting information indicating the function of an imaged product. [Solution] The information processing system 100 includes an imaging unit that images a subject, a determination processing unit that determines whether or not the object to be imaged by the imaging unit is registered in a predetermined product database, a first acquisition processing unit that acquires first data corresponding to the object to be imaged from the database when the determination processing unit determines that the object to be imaged is registered in the database, and an output processing unit that outputs function information indicating the function of the object to be imaged based on the first data.

Description

This invention relates to an information processing system and an information processing method. An information processing system is known that displays a list of functions of an image forming apparatus, such as a multifunction printer, on a mobile terminal (see Patent Document 1). Japanese Patent Publication No. 2016-224711 Figure 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an information processing system according to an embodiment of the present invention.Figure 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a mobile terminal in an information processing system according to an embodiment of the present invention.Figure 3 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a server in an information processing system according to an embodiment of the present invention.Figure 4 shows an example of a settings screen displayed on a mobile terminal of an information processing system according to an embodiment of the present invention.Figure 5 shows an example of an output screen displayed on a mobile terminal of an information processing system according to an embodiment of the present invention.Figure 6 is a flowchart showing an example of a functional information output process performed on a mobile terminal of an information processing system according to an embodiment of the present invention.Figure 7 is a flowchart showing an example of data acquisition processing performed on the server of an information processing system according to an embodiment of the present invention. The embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the attached drawings. Note that the following embodiments are merely examples of the present invention and do not limit the technical scope of the invention. [Configuration of Information Processing System 100] First, with reference to Figure 1, the configuration of the information processing system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. As shown in Figure 1, the information processing system 100 includes a mobile terminal 1 and a server 2. In the information processing system 100, the mobile terminal 1 and the server 2 are connected to each other via a communication network 3. For example, the communication network 3 is the Internet or a LAN (Local Area Network). [Configuration of Mobile Device 1] Next, the configuration of the mobile terminal 1 will be described with reference to Figure 2. Mobile device 1 is a portable information processing device such as a smartphone, tablet, or laptop computer. As shown in Figure 2, the mobile terminal 1 comprises a control unit 11, an operation display unit 12, a communication unit 13, a storage unit 14, and an imaging unit 15. The control unit 11 comprehensively controls the mobile terminal 1. As shown in Figure 2, the control unit 11 comprises a CPU 21, ROM 22, and RAM 23. The CPU 21 is a processor that executes various arithmetic processes. The ROM 22 is a non-volatile memory device in which information such as control programs for instructing the CPU 21 to execute various processes is pre-stored. The RAM 23 is a volatile or non-volatile memory device used as temporary storage memory (work area) for the various processes executed by the CPU 21.
