Abstract

Claims (16)

1. An apparatus comprising a processor configured to select an image to be displayed in a display area of a display screen from among a plurality of images corresponding to alternative fields of view, the alternative fields of view comprising alternative fields of view from a single photographing location and selectable among fields of view spanning a 360 degree angle of view from the single photographing location, and the selection being based on at least one of a traveling direction of an imaging apparatus capturing the image at a time the image was captured, a movement speed of the imaging apparatus capturing the image at the time the image was captured, a distance of a subject of the image, or an amount of motion of the subject of the image, wherein the image to be displayed is to be displayed according to an area layout of the display area, and the area layout is based on the traveling direction of the imaging apparatus capturing the image at the time the image was captured and detection of a person in the image to be displayed.

2. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the image is based on a moving image.

3. The apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the image is cut out from the moving image.

4. The apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the image is cut out from the moving image based on the traveling direction of the imaging apparatus capturing the moving image at the time the moving image was captured.

5. The apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the moving image is a wide-angle moving image.

6. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to control simultaneous display of the image and other images.

7. The apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the image and the other images depict respective fields of view, and the respective fields of view are different from each other.

8. The apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the images and the other images are based on a moving image.

9. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the image and the other images are cut out from the moving image.

10. The apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the image is selected based on at least two of the amount of motion of the subject, the distance of the subject, the movement speed of the imaging apparatus capturing the image at a time the image was captured, or the traveling direction of the imaging apparatus capturing the image at the time the image was captured.

11. The apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the image is selected based on at least three of the amount of motion of the subject, the distance of the subject, the movement speed of an imaging apparatus capturing the image at a time the image was captured, or the traveling direction of the imaging apparatus capturing the image at the time the image was captured.

12. The apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the image is selected based on the amount of motion of the subject, the distance of the subject, and the traveling direction of the imaging apparatus capturing the image at the time the image was captured.

13. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to determine display areas of the display screen for displaying respective images of a plurality of images, the display areas being different from each other.

14. The apparatus according to claim 13 , wherein the images are different from each other.

15. The apparatus according to claim 13 , wherein the display areas do not overlap.

16. The apparatus according to claim 15 , wherein the display areas are adjacent to each other.
