Information processing program, reception program, and information processing apparatus
A receiving method includes: setting a first exposure time for at least one exposure line of exposure lines in an image sensor, setting a second exposure time for a remainder of the exposure lines in the image sensor, and causing the image sensor to capture an image of a light transmitter, to obtain a normal image from the at least one exposure line with the first exposure time, and to obtain a bright line image from the remainder of the exposure lines with the second exposure time. The second exposure time is shorter than the first exposure time. The bright line image includes a plurality of bright lines, each of which corresponds to a different one of the remainder of the exposure lines in the image sensor. Information is obtained by decoding a pattern of the plurality of the bright lines included in the obtained bright line image.

obtaining information by decoding a pattern of the plurality of the bright lines included in the obtained bright line image.
2. The receiving method according to claim 1 ,
wherein the normal image is displayed during a period in which the information is obtained by decoding the pattern of the plurality of the bright lines.
3. The receiving method according to claim 1 ,
wherein the setting comprises:
setting one of the first exposure time and the second exposure time for odd-numbered exposure lines in the image sensor, and
setting a remaining one of the first exposure time and the second exposure time for even-numbered exposure lines in the image sensor.
4. The receiving method according to claim 3 ,
wherein the setting comprises:
setting the remaining one of the first exposure time and the second exposure time for the odd-numbered exposure lines after setting the one of the first exposure time and the second exposure time for the odd-numbered exposure lines, and
