  • Patent number: 11972619
    Abstract: An information processing device includes: a storage configured to store display region information and a count value, the display region information indicating a position of a predetermined display region in a first image corresponding to image data, the count value indicating frequency of display of each predetermined region in the first image; and a processor including hardware. The processor is configured to, based on the image data and an instruction signal for selecting the display region, generate a display image corresponding to the display region that is selected by the instruction signal, determine whether the display region information meets a first condition, add a predetermined value to the count value of the region on which it is determined that the first condition is met, and set, for a region of interest, a region that draws an interest in the first image based on the count value.
