Client terminal, server, and medium for providing a view from an indicated position
There is provided a client terminal including a determination unit configured to determine whether an overhead view image is associated with a position indicated by a user, and a display control unit configured to perform control so that the overhead view image is displayed on a display unit in accordance with a determination result obtained by the determination unit.
1. A client terminal comprising:
a central processing unit (CPU) and a memory storing instructions for execution by the CPU, wherein the CPU is configured to:
determine whether an overhead view image is associated with an elevated position indicated by a user, the overhead view image being a downward image captured from the elevated position indicated by the user, wherein the indication by the user is indicating a part of sky in a real image displayed on a display; and
perform control so that the overhead view image is displayed on the display in response to the determination that the overhead view image is associated with the elevated position indicated by the user.
2. The client terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the overhead view image is scenery at an altitude corresponding to the elevated position indicated by the user.
3. The client terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the CPU is configured to perform display of indicating the elevated position with which the overhead view image is associated on a displayed image.
4. The client terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the CPU is configured to recognize the elevated position indicated by the user in the real image, the real image being a captured image of real space displayed on the display.
5. The client terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the indication by the user is indicating an object in the real image displayed on the display.
6. The client terminal according to claim 5 , wherein the CPU is configured to control the object indicated by the user and an overhead view image associated with the object to be displayed on the display.
7. The client terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the indication by the user is indicating a particular floor number of a building in the real image displayed on the display.
8. The client terminal according to claim 1 , wherein, when a plurality of overhead view images are associated with the elevated position indicated by the user, the CPU is configured to control the plurality of overhead view images to be displayed on the display.
9. The client terminal according to claim 8 , wherein the plurality of overhead view images differ in at least one of an altitude, a direction or an angle of elevation.
10. The client terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the overhead view image is a panorama image obtained by looking around from the elevated position indicated by the user.
11. The client terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the indication by the user is realized by a zoom operation.
12. A server comprising:
a determination unit and a memory storing instructions for execution by the determination unit, wherein the determination unit is configured to:
receive indicated position information indicative of an elevated position indicated by a user at a client terminal;
determine whether an overhead view image is associated with the elevated position indicated by the indicated position information, the overhead view image being a downward image captured from the elevated position indicated by the user, wherein the indication by the user is indicating a part of sky in a real image displayed on a display; and
transmit to the client terminal the overhead view image associated with the elevated position indicated by the indicated position information in response to the determination that the overhead view image is associated with the elevated position indicated by the indicated position information.
13. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer-readable instructions thereon which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a method comprising:
determining whether an overhead view image is associated with an elevated position indicated by a user, the overhead view image being a downward image captured from the elevated position indicated by the user, wherein the indication by the user is indicating a part of sky in a real image displayed on a display; and
controlling the overhead view image to be displayed on the display in response to the determination that the overhead view image is associated with the elevated position indicated by the user.
14. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer-readable instructions thereon, which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a method comprising:
receiving indicated position information indicative of an elevated position indicated by a user at a client terminal;
determining whether an overhead view image is associated with the elevated position indicated by the indicated position information, the overhead view image being a downward image captured from the elevated position indicated by the user,
wherein the indication by the user is indicating a part of sky in a real image displayed on a display; and
transmitting to the client terminal the overhead view image associated with the elevated position indicated by the indicated position information in response to the determination that the overhead view image is associated with the elevated position indicated by the indicated position information.
