## Abstract

Provided is a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing an imaging processing program that causes a computer to execute a process, the process including: detecting an inclination of a terminal that is in an imaging mode; and issuing a notice or capturing a still image when detecting that the inclination of the terminal is within a predetermined inclination range and a number of pixels corresponding to a reference subject contained in a captured image is within a predetermined range.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing an imaging processing program that causes a computer to execute a process, the process comprising:
detecting an inclination of a terminal that is in an imaging mode; and
issuing a notice or capturing a still image when detecting that the inclination of the terminal is within a predetermined inclination range and a number of pixels corresponding to a reference subject contained in a captured image is within a predetermined range.

### Claim 2

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing an imaging processing program that causes a computer to execute a process, the process comprising:
detecting an inclination of a terminal that is in an imaging mode;
issuing a first notice when the inclination of the terminal falls within a predetermined inclination range; and
issuing a second notice or capturing a still image when the inclination of the terminal is within the predetermined inclination range and a number of pixels corresponding to a reference subject contained in a captured image falls within a predetermined range.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 2, wherein the process further comprises outputting an alert regarding inclination when the inclination of the terminal falls outside the predetermined inclination range after issue of the first notice.

### Claim 4 (depends on 2)

The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 2, wherein the second notice is a notice that instructs to capture a still image.

### Claim 5 (depends on 2)

The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 2, wherein the process further comprises:
expanding the predetermined inclination range when a time during which the inclination of the terminal is not within the predetermined inclination range exceeds a predetermined time; and
issuing the first notice and/or issuing the second notice based on the predetermined inclination range that has been expanded.

### Claim 6 (depends on 2)

The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 2, wherein the process further comprises:
expanding the predetermined range for the number of pixels when a time during which the number of pixels corresponding to the reference subject contained in the captured image is not within the predetermined range exceeds a predetermined time after issue of the first notice; and
issuing the second notice based on the predetermined range that has been expanded.

### Claim 7 (depends on 2)

The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 2, wherein the process further comprises issuing a third notice when the number of pixels corresponding to the reference subject contained in the captured image does not fall within the predetermined range after issue of the first notice.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 7, wherein the third notice is a notice that instructs to change a location from which an image is captured.

### Claim 9 (depends on 2)

The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 2, wherein the process further comprises displaying an image content, which is preliminarily generated based on a still image without distortion, superimposed on the captured image in association with the reference subject after issue of the first notice, and conducting measurement with use of a relationship between the image content and the captured image when detecting a touch to the captured image.

### Claim 10

An imaging processing method implemented by a computer, the imaging processing method comprising:
detecting an inclination of a terminal that is in an imaging mode; and
issuing a notice or capturing a still image when detecting that the inclination of the terminal is within a predetermined inclination range and a number of pixels corresponding to a reference subject contained in a captured image is within a predetermined range.

### Claim 11

An imaging processing method implemented by a computer, the imaging processing method comprising:
detecting an inclination of the imaging processing device that is in an imaging mode;
issuing a first notice when the inclination of the imaging processing device falls within a predetermined inclination range; and
issuing a second notice or capturing a still image when the inclination of the imaging processing device is within the predetermined inclination range and a number of pixels corresponding to a reference subject contained in a captured image falls within a predetermined range.

### Claim 12

An imaging processing device comprising:
a memory; and
a processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
detect an inclination of the imaging processing device that is in an imaging mode, and
issue a notice or capture a still image when detecting that the inclination of the imaging processing device is within a predetermined inclination range and a number of pixels corresponding to a reference subject contained in a captured image is within a predetermined range.

### Claim 13

An imaging processing device comprising:
a memory; and
a processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
detect an inclination of the imaging processing device that is in an imaging mode,
issue a first notice when the inclination of the imaging processing device falls within a predetermined inclination range, and
issue a second notice or capture a still image when the inclination of the imaging processing device is within the predetermined inclination range and a number of pixels corresponding to a reference subject contained in a captured image falls within a predetermined range.

### Claim 14 (depends on 13)

The imaging processing device according to claim 13, wherein the processor is further configured to output an alert regarding inclination when the inclination of the imaging processing device falls outside the predetermined inclination range after issue of the first notice.

### Claim 15 (depends on 13)

The imaging processing device according to claim 13, wherein the processor is further configured to:
expand the predetermined inclination range when a time during which the inclination of the imaging processing device is not within the predetermined inclination range exceeds a predetermined time, and
issue the first notice and/or issue the second notice based on the predetermined inclination range that has been expanded.

### Claim 16 (depends on 13)

The imaging processing device according to claim 13, wherein the processor is further configured to:
expand the predetermined range for the number of pixels when a time during which the number of pixels corresponding to the reference subject contained in the captured image is not within the predetermined range exceeds a predetermined time after issue of the first notice, and
issue the second notice based on the predetermined range that has been expanded.

### Claim 17 (depends on 13)

The imaging processing device according to claim 13, wherein the processor is further configured to issue a third notice when the number of pixels corresponding to the reference subject contained in the captured image does not fall within the predetermined range after issue of the first notice.

### Claim 18 (depends on 13)

The imaging processing device according to claim 13, wherein the processor is further configured to display an image content, which is preliminarily generated based on a still image without distortion, superimposed on the captured image in association with the reference subject after issue of the first notice, and conduct measurement with use of a relationship between the image content and the captured image when detecting a touch to the captured image.
