9. The information processing device according to claim 8 , wherein

the second region includes a plurality of sub-regions, and

the first process is determined by content corresponding to the first region and content corresponding to a sub-region of the second region that the object passes through at the pass-through of the second region.

10. The information processing device according to claim 9 , wherein

the first region corresponds to a function, and

the plurality of sub-regions of the second region correspond to different settings of the function.

11. The information processing device according to claim 8 , wherein

the first region includes a plurality of sub-regions, and

the first process is determined by content corresponding to a sub-region of the first region that the object passes through at the pass-through of the first region, and content corresponding to the second region.

12. The information processing device according to claim 8 , wherein

the first region and the second region each include a plurality of sub-regions, and

the first process is determined by content corresponding to a sub-region of the first region that the object passes through at the pass-through of the first region in a part of the first region and content corresponding to a sub-region of the second region that the object passes through at the pass-through of the second region.

13. The information processing device according to claim 8 , wherein

the first three-dimensional image is a polyhedron with a first face and a second face, and

the first portion is the first face and the second portion is the second face.
