Patent number: 10630892Abstract: A display control apparatus includes a processor configured to acquire a peripheral image around a predetermined object captured by image capture units. The predetermined object is different from the image capture units. The processor is also configured to determine whether or not a moving situation of an image of a moving subject included in the acquired peripheral image corresponds to a predetermined specific situation. The moving situation is a moving situation of the image of the moving subject with respect to the predetermined object. The processor is further configured to execute control to produce an output so as to display distinguishably on a display an image of a partial region among the peripheral image, the partial region including the image of the moving subject, when the moving situation of the image of the moving subject corresponds to the predetermined moving situation.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2019Date of Patent: April 21, 2020Assignee: CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD.Inventor: Kazuo Ura
