Abstract
An image capturing device includes an imaging device and circuitry. The imaging device captures an image. The circuitry defines a point of interest in the image, converts the defined point of interest in accordance with attitude information of the image capturing device, and cuts out a viewable area from the image. The viewable area includes the converted point of interest.

(canceled)
A communication terminal, comprising:
- circuitry configured to
- receive a spherical image from a communication management system;
- control, in a case that an operation to specify a subject of interest is performed on another communication terminal, a display to forcibly display a first area image of the spherical image including the subject of interest and to prohibit change of display away from the first image;
- and
- control, in a case that the operation to specify a subject of interest is not performed on the other communication terminal, the display to display a second area image of the spherical image based on a user operation on the communication terminal.

A communication method, comprising:
- receiving, by a communication terminal, a spherical image from a communication management system;
- controlling, in a case that an operation to specify a subject of interest is performed on another communication terminal, a display to forcibly display a first area image of the spherical image including the subject of interest and to prohibit change of display away from the first image;
- and
- controlling, in a case that the operation to specify a subject of interest is not performed on the other communication terminal, the display to display a second area image of the spherical image based on a user operation on the communication terminal.
