Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif de traitement d'informations, comportant une unité de communication et une unité de commande. L'unité de commande extrait d'une image acquise une région d'image qui comprend tout ou partie d'une personne, juge si la région d'image correspond à une personne prescrite d'après des informations d'identification servant à identifier la personne prescrite, et s'il a été jugé que la région d'image ne correspond pas à la personne prescrite, traite la région d'image pour générer une image traitée et fournit l'image traitée à la personne prescrite via l'unité de communication.
