Abstract

According to an embodiment of the present technology, there is provided an information processing device including an acquisition unit configured to acquire multiple images to which position information showing an imaging position is attached, and a display control unit configured to display a first map on which a pointer indicating the imaging position shown by the position information is displayed while switching a reduced scale and a display area according to an operation of a user, and configured to display a second map of a fixed reduced scale together with the first map while causing a display area to cooperate with a display area of the first map.

Claims (12)

1. An information processing apparatus, comprising:

circuitry configured to

acquire a plurality of images in which position information showing an imaging position is attached;

control display of a first map image, a positional information, and the plurality of images on a first screen image, wherein the positional information indicates the position of a currently selected pointer from among a plurality of pointers displayed on the first map image, corresponds to two or more images of the plurality of images, and is displayed in a part of the first screen image that is outside the first map image, wherein the first map image, the positional information and the plurality of images are displayed simultaneously on the first screen image;

acquire a user input of selecting an image;

control display of the image selected by the user input and a second map image related to the selected image on a second screen image, wherein the second screen image includes second positional information and a second plurality of images, the image selected by the user being one of the second plurality of images, and wherein the second positional information indicates the imaging position of the image selected by the user and is displayed in a part of the second screen image that is outside the second map image, wherein the second map image, the second positional information and the second plurality of images are displayed simultaneously on the second screen image; and

control switching between display of the first screen image and display of the second screen image,

wherein the circuitry is configured to control display of an indication of availability of a back function on the second screen image, and wherein activation of the back function causes the information processing apparatus to switch from an image selection mode to a position selection mode.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein at least one image of the second plurality of images other than the image selected by the user input is included in the plurality of images.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the center of the second map image corresponds to the imaging position of the image selected by the user input.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the second map image includes a pointer indicating the imaging position of the image selected by the user input.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first map image and the second map image are planar map images.
