Display control device, display control method, program, and display control system

A display control method comprising:

• specifying positions of an imaging device, which captures an image, and a display device, which displays the image;
• determining whether to cause the image captured by the imaging device to be reversed in a horizontal direction on the basis of the position of the display device, which displays the image, and the position of the imaging device, which captures the image to be displayed;
• and
• selectively reversing the image captured by the imaging device in the horizontal direction,
• wherein the reversing step includes
• causing the display device to display the image reversed in the horizontal direction, by reversing the image captured by the imaging device in the horizontal direction, if the image is determined to be reversed in the horizontal direction, and
• causing the display device to display the image captured by the imaging device, if the image is determined not to be reversed in the horizontal direction.

A program for causing a computer to execute:

• specifying positions of an imaging device, which captures an image, and a display device, which displays the image;
• determining whether to cause the image captured by the imaging device to be reversed in a horizontal direction on the basis of the position of the display device, which displays the image, and the position of the imaging device, which captures the image to be displayed;
• and
• selectively reversing the image captured by the imaging device in the horizontal direction,
• wherein the reversing step includes
• causing the display device to display the image reversed in the horizontal direction, by reversing the image captured by the imaging device in the horizontal direction, if the image is determined to be reversed in the horizontal direction, and
• causing the display device to display the image captured by the imaging device, if the image is determined not to be reversed in the horizontal direction.

A display control system comprising:

• an imaging device for capturing one or more images;
• a display device for displaying the one or more images;
• a display control device for communicating with the imaging device and the display device,
• wherein the display control device includes
• a communication section for communicating with the imaging device and the display device,
• a position specification section for specifying positions of the imaging device and the display device,
• a process determination section for determining whether to cause the image captured by the imaging device to be reversed in a horizontal direction on the basis of the position of the display device, which displays the image, and the position of the imaging device, which captures the image to be displayed, and
• a processing section for selectively reversing the image captured by the imaging device in the horizontal direction,
• wherein the processing section
• causes the image signal indicating the image reversed in the horizontal direction to be transmitted to a display device of a transmission destination of the image signal transmitted from the imaging device, by reversing the image indicated by the image signal transmitted from the imaging device and received by the communication section in the horizontal direction, if the image is determined to be reversed in the horizontal direction, and
• causes the image signal transmitted from the imaging device and received by the communication section to be transmitted to the display device of the transmission destination, if the image is determined not to be reversed in the horizontal direction.
