Abstract

[Object] To display a captured image on a display unit in accordance with the intention of a user. [Solution] An information processing device according to the present technology includes a reception unit configured to receive operation information on a user, and a control unit configured to decide, on the basis of a state of a flexible display unit pulled out from a body of an image shooting device, a corresponding range corresponding to a displayable area of the pulled-out display unit from an entire image range acquired by an image shooting unit, the state being received by the reception unit, the flexible display unit being capable of being pulled out from the body.

Claims (45)

1. An information processing device, comprising:

circuitry configured to:

receive information of a first user operation in the information processing device;

determine a first length of a first displayable area that corresponds to a first portion of a flexible display unit;

display at least one first image of a plurality of first images that are acquired by an image shooting device on the first displayable area, based on the received information and the first portion of the flexible display unit pulled out in a pulling-out direction from a body of the image shooting device;

determine a second length of a second displayable area that corresponds to a second portion of the flexible display unit,

wherein the second portion corresponds to a body side area of the flexible display unit; and

display an image range on the body side area of the flexible display unit,

wherein the first displayable area and the second displayable area are adjustable.

2. The information processing device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the circuitry is further configured to determine the image range based on a focal distance of a user's eye.

3. The information processing device according to claim 1 ,

wherein circuitry is futher configured to:

determine a corresponding image range for at least one second image acquired by each of a plurality of image shooting devices, and

display the corresponding image range based on a disposition of each of the plurality of image shooting devices.

4. The information processing device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the circuitry is further configured to change at least one of a display size of the at least one first image displayed on the first displayable area or a number of the plurality of captured images displayed on the pulled-out side area, based on the first length of the first displayable area of the flexible display unit pulled out from the body.

5. The information processing device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first displayable area and the second displayable area are adjusted based on a selection of the at least one first image displayed on the first displayable area by a second user operation.

6. The information processing device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the circuitry is further configured to display image capturing information on one of the at least one first image or the first displayable area along with the at least one first image.

7. The information processing device according to claim 1 ,

the circuitry is further configured to:

display an operation input unit on the first displayable area,

wherein the operation input unit is configured to input an image capturing control operation for the image shooting device.

8. An information processing method, comprising:

in an information processing device:

receiving information of a first user operation in the information processing device;

determining a first length of a first displayable area that corresponds to a first portion of a flexible display unit,

displaying at least one image of a plurality of images that are acquired by an image shooting device on the first displayable area, based on the received information and the first portion of the flexible display unit pulled out in a pulling-out direction from a body of the image shooting device;

determining a second length of a second displayable area that corresponds to a second portion of the flexible display unit,

wherein the second portion corresponds to a body side area of the flexible display unit; and

displaying an image range on the body side area of the flexible display unit:

wherein the first displayable area and the second displayable area are adjustable.

9. An image shooting device, comprising:

at least one image sensor configured to capture an image;

a body that has a part of a cylindrical shape;

a flexible display unit that is pulled out from the body; and

circuitry configured to:

determine a first length of a first displayable area that corresponds to a first portion of a flexible display unit;

display the captured image, based on the first portion of the flexible display unit pulled out in a pulling-out direction from the body;

determine a second length of a second displayable area that corresponds to a second portion of the flexible display unit,

wherein the second portion corresponds to a body side area of the flexible display unit; and

display an image range on the body side area of the flexible display unit,

wherein the first displayable area and the second displayable area are adjustable.
