Abstract

An image file generating device, comprising a processor having an image input section and a file generation section, the image input section inputting image data that has been converted based on images, wherein the file generating section attaches annotation related information to the image data as metadata for a relationship between the image data and user's concern, and makes into a file as training data, wherein the annotation related information includes information that has been selected from within at least one of (1) information as to whether what is being determined is an event or not, and (2) information as to whether what is being determined is timing or not.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A non-transitory computer-readable storing medium storing processor-executable instructions which, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform an image file generating method comprising:
inputting image data that has been converted based on an image;
storing information representing passage of time in association with the image data;
inputting information, that has been selectively organized so that it is possible to output concerns that relate to the users input image as inference results, as annotation related information corresponding to the image data, wherein the annotation related information includes information as to whether what is being determined is timing or not;
attaching the annotation related information to the image data as metadata for a relationship between the image data and a user's concern to make a file as training data, wherein the training data includes results corresponding to passage of time in the annotation related information; and
correcting, responsive to a determination that change has occurred in an object of the image, the file by attaching the annotation related information, corresponding to results of the change, to the image data at a time before commencement of change stored in the memory.

2. The non-transitory computer-readable storing medium of claim 1 , wherein the image file generating method further comprises:
generating integrated data, in which the annotation related information has been attached to the image data as metadata, as a block at the time of blockchain management.
