Communication terminal, image communication system, and display control method

1. An image communication system, comprising:

a first communication terminal including first circuitry; and

a second communication terminal including second circuitry,

the first circuitry of the first communication terminal being configured to

transmit, to the second communication terminal, first image data representing a first image and second image data representing a second image, and

transmit, to the second communication terminal, position information indicating a predetermined position on the first image, and

the second circuitry of the second communication terminal being configured to

combine, based on the position information, the second image with the first image at the predetermined position on the first image to generate a combined image, and

display, on a display, the combined image.

2. The image communication system of claim 1 ,

wherein the second circuitry performs image processing to combine the second image with the first image based on the position information.

3. The image communication system of claim 2 ,

wherein the second communication terminal further includes a memory that stores the position information associated with an IP address of the first communication terminal, and

wherein the second circuitry combines the second image with the first image based on the position information associated with the IP address of the first communication terminal, which is a transmission source of the second image data that is received.

4. The image communication system of claim 1 ,

wherein the first circuitry

receives, according to a user input, an operation of setting the predetermined position at which the second image is combined with the first image, and

transmits the position information indicating the predetermined position that is set through the operation of setting.

5. The image communication system of claim 1 ,

wherein the first image data is captured image data, and the second image data is material image data.

6. The image communication system of claim 1 ,

wherein the first image is a spherical image.

7. The image communication system of claim 1 , further comprising a communication management system configured to manage data communication between the first communication terminal and the second communication terminal.

8. The image communication system of claim 1 ,

wherein the second circuitry

receives, from the first circuitry, the first image data, the second image data, and the position information,

combines the second image with the first image at a position on the first image, the position being indicated by the position information, and

displays, on the display, the first image with which the second image is combined at the position on the first image.

9. A communication terminal comprising circuitry configured to:

transmit, to another communication terminal, first image data representing a first image and second image data representing a second image;

receive, according to a user input, an operation of setting a position at which the second image is to be combined with the first image, the position being set on the first image; and

transmit, to the another communication terminal, position information indicating the position set by the operation of setting.

10. The communication terminal of claim 9 ,

wherein, the first image data is captured image data, and the second image data is material image data.

11. The communication terminal of claim 9 ,

wherein, the first image is a spherical image.

12. A display control method, comprising:

receiving first image data representing a first image, second image data representing a second image, and position information;

combining the second image with the first image at a position on the first image, the position being indicated by the position information; and

displaying, on a display, the first image with which the second image is combined at the position on the first image.

13. The method of claim 12 ,

wherein, the first image data is captured image data, and the second image data is material image data.

14. The method of claim 12 ,

wherein, the first image is a spherical image.
