Abstract
A first communication terminal for communicating with a second communication terminal, includes circuitry that receives from the second communication terminal point-of-view information for specifying a predetermined area being displayed in a wide-view image on the second communication terminal, causes a point of view of the second communication terminal to be displayed, the point of view being superimposed in a predetermined area displayed in the wide-view image on the first communication terminal, based on the received point-of-view information, and limits a number of points of view to be superimposed, based on a connection policy including a setting related to the point-of-view information.
Claims8
A first communication terminal for communicating with a second communication terminal, the first communication terminal comprising circuitry configured to:
- receive from the second communication terminal point-of-view information for specifying a predetermined area being displayed in a wide-view image on the second communication terminal, the wide-view image being captured by an image capturing apparatus;
- cause a point of view of the second communication terminal to be displayed, the point of view being superimposed in a predetermined area displayed in the wide-view image on the first communication terminal, based on the received point-of-view information;
- and
- limit a number of points of view to be superimposed, based on a connection policy including a setting related to the point-of-view information.
A second communication terminal for communicating with a first communication terminal, the second communication terminal comprising circuitry configured to:
- cause a display to display a wide-view image captured by an image capturing apparatus;
- transmit to the first communication terminal point-of-view information for specifying a predetermined area in the wide-view image;
- and
- limit transmission of the point-of-view information to the first communication terminal, based on a connection policy including a setting related to the point-of-view information.
A communication system comprising:
- a first communication terminal including first circuitry;
- a second communication terminal including second circuitry;
- and
- an information processing system to transmit a wide-view image captured by an image capturing apparatus to the first communication terminal and a plurality of second communication terminals including the second communication terminal,
- the first circuitry being configured to:
- receive from the second communication terminal point-of-view information for specifying a predetermined area being displayed in the wide-view image on the second communication terminal;
- cause a point of view of the second communication terminal to be displayed, the point of view being superimposed in a predetermined area displayed in the wide-view image on the first communication terminal, based on the received point-of-view information;
- and
- limit a number of points of view to be superimposed, based on a connection policy including a setting related to the point-of-view information, the second circuitry being configured to:
- cause a display to display the wide-view image;
- transmit to the first communication terminal the point-of-view information for specifying the predetermined area in the wide-view image;
- and
- limit transmission of the point-of-view information to the first communication terminal, based on the connection policy including the setting related to the point-of-view information.
