## Abstract

A mark information recording apparatus includes an output unit and a recording unit. The output unit is configured to output, for displaying a partial image being a part of an entire image having an arbitrary resolution among entire images generated at a plurality of different resolutions with respect to a single target, the partial image. The recording unit is configured to associate mark information with information on a position within the entire image and information on the resolution of the output partial image and record the mark information.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An annotation information outputting apparatus comprising:
a control processing unit configured to:
acquire an output coordinate group that is an output position information group of an image,
compare the output coordinate group with coordinate data that is included in recorded data, and
output annotation information corresponding to the recorded coordinate data when the output coordinate group includes the recorded coordinate data, and when an output magnification of the image is equal to or larger than a recorded magnification level in the recorded data.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The annotation information outputting apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the annotation information is at least one of a mark image, text based annotation information, and audio annotation information.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The annotation information outputting apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the output coordinate group is acquired as input from an input device.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The annotation information outputting apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the output coordinate group corresponds to a partial image of a specified area of the image, and is specified by the input from the input device.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The annotation information outputting apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the recorded data includes the recorded coordinate data, recorded magnification data, and recorded annotation information data.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The annotation information outputting apparatus according to claim 5, wherein the recorded coordinate data includes position information.

### Claim 7 (depends on 5)

The annotation information outputting apparatus according to claim 5, wherein the recorded magnification data includes resolution information.
