Abstract
A system and a method, each of which: transmits video including a wide-view image having a wide angle of view to a communication terminal; and stores, in a predetermined storage destination, the wide-view image received from an image capturing apparatus that captures the wide-view image in response to an image capturing request, in association with point-of-view information for specifying a predetermined area of the wide-view image to be displayed, the predetermined area being designated at the communication terminal.
Claims21
A communication system, comprising:
- a first communication terminal to display a wide-view image having a wide angle of view;
- a second communication terminal to display the wide-view image;
- and
- an information processing system including first circuitry configured to:
- transmit a video including the wide-view image to the first communication terminal and the second communication terminal;
- in response to receiving an operation to capture the wide-view image from the first communication terminal, associate viewpoint information corresponding to a viewpoint currently being displayed at the first communication terminal with the wide-view image received from an image capturing apparatus which captures the wide-view image, wherein
- the second communication terminal includes second circuitry configured to:
- receive the wide-view image and the viewpoint information from the information processing system;
- and
- in response to receiving the wide-view image and the viewpoint information from the information processing system, display the wide-view image at the viewpoint corresponding to the viewpoint information.
An information processing system, comprising:
- circuitry configured to:
- transmit a video including a wide-view image to a first communication terminal and a second communication terminal, the wide-view image having a wide angle of view;
- in response to receiving an operation to capture the wide-view image by a user of the first communication terminal, associate viewpoint information corresponding to a viewpoint currently being displayed at the first communication terminal with the wide-view image received from an image capturing apparatus which captures the wide-view image;
- and
- transmit the wide-view image captured by the image capturing apparatus and the viewpoint information to the second communication terminal so that the second communication terminal displays the wide-view image at the viewpoint corresponding to the viewpoint information.
