Abstract: An information processing system 100 includes a client node 1 and an issuing node 2 for issuing a coupon having terms of use Q1. The client node 1 includes a use request unit 155 that requests to use the coupon by presenting user data D held by a user of the client node 1. The issuing node 2 includes: a use request verification unit 253 for verifying whether the information included in the user data D satisfies the terms of use Q1 upon the use request from the use request unit 155; and a use authorization unit 254 that authorizes the client node 1 to use the coupon when the information satisfies the terms of use Q1.

Abstract: An information processing system including multiple memory devices and a processor configured to select one node group associated with a time point included in a time period between a current time point and a time point before a predetermined time including the current time point among multiple node groups each associated with one of multiple time points, and store the N pieces of distributed data one to each of N memory devices included in the selected node group. The information processing system carries out a restoring process on at least one of the multiple node groups, and if the restoring results in failure, carries out the restoring process on a second node group associated with a time point before a time point associated with the first node group that causes the failure among the plurality of node groups.

Abstract: An information processing system 100 includes a first node 1 that stores data; a second node 2 that receives the data from the first node 1; at least one storage node 3; and a blockchain 4. The first node 1 includes a first identification information generation unit 152, a template acquisition unit 153, a contract document preparation unit 154, a contract document release unit 155, and a storage request unit 156, wherein a template is provided with an address area in which a data-receiving address of a node that wishes to obtain the data is entered. The second node 2 includes a contract document selection unit 251, an address entry unit 252, a signature unit 253, and a registration unit 254. The at least one storage node 3 includes a storage execution unit 353, a contract completion determination unit 354, and a data transmission unit 355.

Abstract: An image processing device includes: an acquisition unit that acquires a probability distribution of luminance of a pixel in a plurality of perspective images including the luminance of the pixel which is superposition of luminance components resulting from respective objects, based on an occurrence frequency of a perspective image in which the luminance of the pixel has respective values of a plurality of values; a distribution estimation unit that estimates a mixture distribution indicating the acquired probability distribution; a component estimation unit that estimates a component corresponding to a smallest expectation value distribution of which an expectation value is the smallest among a plurality of partial distributions that form the estimated mixture distribution, and forming at least a portion of the luminance of the pixel; a removal unit that removes the estimated component from the luminance of the pixel included in the perspective image.
