Assignee: CANON KABUSHIKI KAISHA
Field: Audio-visual technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 9:
10. An information processing system having
an image capturing apparatus that has a predetermined codec, and
an information processing apparatus,
wherein the information processing apparatus comprises:
a communication interface for communicating with the image capturing apparatus,
one or more processors that execute a program stored in a memory and thereby function as:
a decoding unit that has a decoding function for decoding encoded image data that is encoded according to at least the predetermined codec;
a managing unit configured to manage storage of history information relating to communication with an image capturing apparatus with which communication was performed via the communication interface;
a receiving unit configured to, in a case of communication with the image capturing apparatus via the communication interface, receive an image file held in the image capturing apparatus and save the image file to a predetermined storage medium;
a display control unit configured to control a display of an image of the image file saved to the storage medium;

an extracting unit configured to, in a case where an image of an image file of interest stored in the storage medium is to be displayed, extract identification information of the image capturing apparatus which captured the image, by analyzing the image file of interest; and
a control unit configured to, based on the identification information obtained by the extracting unit and the history information of the managing unit, control whether or not to use the decoding unit in relation to the image file of interest by determining whether or not the image of the image file of interest is an image captured by an image capturing apparatus that the information processing apparatus has communicate with in the past.
