INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND PROGRAM

Abstract:

An apparatus and a method are provided to enable performance recording without incurring problems of infringement of portrait rights or privacy. The apparatus includes a data processing section that receives input of a captured image for image processing. The data processing section changes a human image area included in a predetermined partial area within the captured image into an image denying personal identification. For example, a blurring process is carried out. A blurring process target area is determined on the basis of information input from a user terminal via a short-range communication section. After completion of the process of determining the area, a recording process is started in response to a recording start request input from the user terminal via the short-range communication section. Before completion of the area determination process, the recording process is not executed even when the recording start request is input.
