Communication management apparatus, image communication system, communication management method, and recording medium

A communication management method executed by a communication management apparatus, the communication management apparatus being configured to communicate with a communication terminal configured to display images captured by a plurality of image capturing devices, the communication management method comprising:

• receiving, from the communication terminal, predetermined-position information indicating a predetermined position in an area where the plurality of image capturing devices are provided and number-of-division information indicating the number of divisions for dividing the area from the predetermined position;
• and
• transmitting, to the communication terminal, first predetermined-area information indicating a predetermined area including the predetermined position in an image captured by a first image capturing device among the plurality of image capturing devices, and second predetermined-area information indicating a predetermined area including the predetermined position in an image captured by a second image capturing device among the plurality of image capturing devices,
• the first image capturing device being arranged at a shortest distance from the predetermined position corresponding to the predetermined-position information, and
• the second image capturing device being arranged such that an angle between the second image capturing device and the first image capturing device is closest to an angle obtained by dividing the area in accordance with the number of divisions indicated by the number-of-division information.

Anon-transitory recording medium which, when executed by one or more processors in a communication management apparatus, cause the processors to perform a communication management method, the communication management apparatus being configured to communicate with a communication terminal configured to display images captured by a plurality of image capturing devices, the communication management method comprising:

• receiving, from the communication terminal, predetermined-position information indicating a predetermined position in an area where the plurality of image capturing devices are provided and number-of-division information indicating the number of divisions for dividing the area from the predetermined position;
• and
• transmitting, to the communication terminal, first predetermined-area information indicating a predetermined area including the predetermined position in an image captured by a first image capturing device among the plurality of image capturing devices, and second predetermined-area information indicating a predetermined area including the predetermined position in an image captured by a second image capturing device among the plurality of image capturing devices,
• the first image capturing device being arranged at a shortest distance from the predetermined position corresponding to the predetermined-position information, and
• the second image capturing device being arranged such that an angle between the second image capturing device and the first image capturing device is closest to an angle obtained by dividing the area in accordance with the number of divisions indicated by the number-of-division information.
