Abstract
An information processing apparatus collects image data, performs a training process using the image data to create a trained model for autofocus (AF), and outputs the trained model to a requesting device. A terminal apparatus includes a communication function, and acquires the trained model output by the information processing apparatus. An electronic device includes an imaging function, acquires the trained model from the terminal apparatus, and performs autofocus on the basis of the trained model. When the electronic device performs autofocus to capture an image of an object and an intended spot is not automatically in-focus, a user registers the image data (out-of-focus image data) in the terminal apparatus. An AF point is designated in the out-of-focus image data. The information processing apparatus collects the out-of-focus image data from the terminal apparatus, and performs the training process using the out-of-focus image data to create and output the trained model.
