the display control unit is further configured to display one image from among the plurality of images at one time, the displayed one image being sequentially switched.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The information-processing system according to claim 2, wherein
the display control unit is further configured to switch the one image independently of a user's input.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The information-processing system according to claim 1, further comprising
a first determining unit configured to determine the plurality of panoramic images in response to the pathway, wherein
the obtaining unit is further configured to obtain the plurality of images clipped from the plurality of panoramic images determined by the first determining unit.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The information-processing system according to claim 4, further comprising
a selecting unit configured to select a selection of points included in the pathway, wherein
the obtaining unit is further configured to obtain the plurality of images clipped from panoramic images corresponding to the selection of points selected by the selecting unit.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The information-processing system according to claim 1, further comprising
a clipping unit configured to clip an image from among the plurality of panoramic images, in response to a direction determined according to the pathway, wherein
the obtaining unit is further configured to obtain the plurality of images from the clipping unit.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The information-processing system according to claim 6, wherein
the clipping unit is further configured to clip an image from one panoramic image selected from among the plurality of panoramic images, in response to a direction corresponding to a positional relationship between the one panoramic image and another panoramic image corresponding to a point adjacent to a point of the one panoramic image.

### Claim 8 (depends on 6)

The information-processing system according to claim 6, wherein
the clipping unit is further configured to clip an image from one panoramic image selected from among the plurality of panoramic images, in response to a direction corresponding to a positional relationship between the one panoramic image and another panoramic image corresponding to a position adjacent to a position of the one panoramic image.
