Multiple captured image P1 and the like are grouped by event, and a captured image group G1 and the like are obtained. Face detection is performed on the captured images for each of the captured image group G1 and the like, a facial image F1 and the like are obtained, and a plurality of facial image group FG1 and the like are obtained. In each of the facial image group FG1 and the like, a principal facial image RF1 and the like are obtained. A facial image of a person who participates only in a specific event can be determined as a principal facial image, and an electronic album where the person of the principal facial image is a main character can be generated."},"analysis":{"summary":null,"layman_explanation":null,"technical_analysis":null,"business_analysis":null,"faqs":null,"topics":[],"tech_cluster":null},"seo":{"title":"Device for determining principal facial image in photographic image, and method and program for controlling same","description":"Disclosed are a device for determining a principal facial image in a captured image capable of determining a person participating in a specific event as a principal person among multiple captured imag","keywords":[]},"attribution":{"source":"Patentable","source_url":"https://patentable.app","canonical_url":"https://patentable.app/patents/US-9832439","license":"CC-BY-4.0-like","license_terms":"AI-generated analysis on this page (summary, layman_explanation, technical_analysis, business_analysis, faqs) may be reused with attribution and a visible link back to the canonical URL above.
