Abstract
A control device of present invention includes a display control portion that performs control such that a whole image display region, in which a whole image captured by a camera is displayed, and an enlarged image display region, in which a region corresponding to a position specified on the whole image is enlarged and an enlarged image is displayed, are displayed, and a control portion that performs control such that the region corresponding to the position specified on the whole image is changed. The region includes at least one preset region, and the display control portion displays, on the whole image, a section that corresponds to the preset region.
Claims14
A control device comprising:
- a processor and a memory including instructions which, when executed by the processor, control to:
- display a first image and a second image, in which the first image shows a wider angle of view than the second image;
- receive selection information for the second image, in which the second image corresponds to a position specified on the first image by the selection information;
- display the second image based on given configuration information corresponding to the selection information,
- wherein a plurality of configuration information including the given configuration information is classified into one or more groups;
- and
- display, on the first image, one or more frames at positions corresponding to configuration information of a first group of the one or more groups, the frames delineating respective portions of a physical area imaged in the first image, a size of at least one of the frames being adjusted according to a relationship between a size of the first image and an imaging magnification of an imaging device that captures the second image, and the frames being selectable such that the portion corresponding to a selected one of the frames is displayed live as the second image;
- and
- display the groups.

A camera device comprising:
- a processor and a memory including instructions which, when executed by the processor, control to:
- output image data such that a first image and a second image are displayed on a display, in which the first image shows a wider angle of view than the second image;
- capture the second image based on given configuration information corresponding to selection information, in which the second image corresponds to a position specified on the first image by the selection information,
- wherein a plurality of configuration information including the given configuration information is classified into one or more groups;
- and
- display, on the first image, one or more frames at positions corresponding to configuration information of a first group of the one or more groups, the frames delineating respective portions of a physical area imaged in the first image, a size of at least one of the frames being adjusted according to a relationship between a size of the first image and an imaging magnification of an imaging device that captures the second image, and the frames being selectable such that the portion corresponding to a selected one of the frames is displayed live as the second image;
- and
- display the groups.

A control method comprising:
- performing control such that a first image and a second image are displayed, in which the first image shows a wider angle of view than the second image;
- receiving selection information for the second image, in which the second image corresponds to a position specified on the first image by the selection information,
- wherein the second image is displayed based on given configuration information corresponding to the selection information, and
- wherein a plurality of configuration information including the given configuration information is classified into one or more groups;
- and
- displaying, on the first image, one or more frames at positions corresponding to configuration information of a first group of the one or more groups, the frames delineating respective portions of a physical area imaged in the first image, a size of at least one of the frames being adjusted according to a relationship between a size of the first image and an imaging magnification of an imaging device that captures the second image, and the frames being selectable such that the portion corresponding to a selected one of the frames is displayed live as the second image;
- and
- displaying the groups.
5 more elements
