Abstract: An embodiment of this invention solves a problem that when a print application is built using the configuration of a hybrid application, and print content is described in SVG, pixel values as a rendering result cannot be obtained. According to the embodiment, a processor of an information processing apparatus executes a program including a first program layer with an instruction set to be interpreted and executed by the processor and a second program layer with an instruction set interpreted in advance by a unit other than the processor in the following way. That is, content described in a first description language is converted into content in a second description language in the first program layer. The content is drawn by interpreting the second description language, and data of the interpreted and drawn content is obtained.

Abstract: When performing image processing on a designated image by the function of the application, image data of the designated image is obtained in a second layer constituted by an instruction set executable by a processor. In a first layer constituted by a script instruction set, the print script of print content including the image data which has been obtained and converted into a data format interpretable by the first layer in the second layer is generated. The print script is rendered into print image data corresponding to a print resolution by interpreting the generated print script.

Abstract: This invention provides a technique which can enhance personal recognition precision in personal recognition processing of a face in an image. To this end, a management unit classifies feature patterns each including feature information of a plurality of parts of a face region of an object extracted from image data, and manages the feature patterns using a dictionary. A segmenting unit determines whether or not feature information of each part of the face region of the object is segmented, and segments the feature information of the part of interest into a plurality of feature information as new feature information. A registration unit registers a feature pattern as a combination of the new feature information of the part of interest and feature information of parts other than the part of interest in the dictionary as a new feature pattern of the object.
