Abstract

A display terminal, a displaying method, and a program stored in a recording medium, each of which: acquires a wide-view image captured by an image capturing apparatus and having a wide angle of view; displays, on a display, a predetermined-area image representing a predetermined area of the wide-view image; and transmits an image capturing parameter to be received by the image capturing apparatus, the image capturing parameter being determined such that the quality of the predetermined-area image being displayed is adequate.

Claims (32)

1 . An information processing server comprising circuitry configured to:

receive, from a display terminal, point-of-view information for identifying a predetermined area,

determine whether a quality of a predetermined-area image indicated by the point-of-view information is adequate,

generate an image capturing parameter for making the quality of the predetermined-area image adequate if the quality of the predetermined-area image is not adequate,

transfer the image capturing parameter to an image capturing apparatus to cause the image capturing apparatus to adjust the quality of the predetermined-area image in accordance with the image capturing parameter,

in response to switching to an automatic setting mode on the display terminal on which a setting mode is switchable between a manual setting mode and an automatic setting mode, the circuitry is configured to notify the image capturing apparatus that the mode is the automatic setting mode, and

in the case that the mode is the automatic setting mode, the circuitry is configured to automatically execute the determination of the quality of the predetermined-area image, the generation of the image capturing parameter, and transfer of the image capturing parameter.

2 . The information processing server according to claim 1 , wherein the image capturing parameter adjusts at least one of exposure, white balance, International Standards Organization (ISO) sensitivity, shutter speed, focus, noise reduction, dynamic range (DR) correction, or high dynamic range (HDR) rendering, of the image capturing apparatus.

3 . A system comprising:

a display terminal;

the information processing server according to claim 1 ; and

an image capturing apparatus configured to capture the wide-view image for display at the display terminal, the image capturing apparatus including circuitry configured to:

receive the image capturing parameter;

adjust quality of the wide-view image using the image capturing parameter; and

transmit the wide-view image having the adjusted quality for display at the display terminal.

4 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the information processing server includes circuitry configured to:

receive a request for adjusting an image capturing function of the image capturing apparatus from the display terminal, the request including the image capturing parameter; and

transmit the request for adjusting to the image capturing apparatus.

5 . A displaying method comprising:

receiving, by an information processing server, point-of-view information for identifying a predetermined area, the point-of-view information being received from a display terminal;

determining, by the information processing server, whether a quality of a predetermined-area image indicated by the point-of-view information is adequate;

generating, by the information processing server, an image capturing parameter for making the quality of the predetermined-area image adequate if the quality of the predetermined-area image is not adequate;

transferring, by the information processing server, the image capturing parameter to an image capturing apparatus to cause the image capturing apparatus to adjust the quality of the predetermined-area image in accordance with the image capturing parameter;

in response to switching to an automatic setting mode on the display terminal on which a setting mode is switchable between a manual setting mode and an automatic setting mode notifying, by the information processing server, the image capturing apparatus that the mode is the automatic setting mode; and

in the case that the mode is the automatic setting mode, automatically executing the determination of the quality of the predetermined-area image, the generation of the image capturing parameter, and transfer of the image capturing parameter.

6 . A non-transitory recording medium of an information processing server storing a plurality of instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, causes the processors to perform a display method comprising:

receiving, from a display terminal, point-of-view information for identifying a predetermined area,

determining whether a quality of a predetermined-area image indicated by the point-of-view information is adequate,

generating an image capturing parameter for making the quality of the predetermined-area image adequate if the quality of the predetermined-area image is not adequate,

transferring the image capturing parameter to an image capturing apparatus to cause the image capturing apparatus to adjust the quality of the predetermined-area image in accordance with the image capturing parameter;

in response to switching to an automatic setting mode on the display terminal on which a setting mode is switchable between a manual setting mode and an automatic setting mode, notifying the image capturing apparatus that the mode is the automatic setting mode; and

in the case that the mode is the automatic setting mode, automatically executing the determination of the quality of the predetermined-area image, the generation of the image capturing parameter, and transfer of the image capturing parameter.
