  • Patent number: 12120418
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus that communicates with an image capturing apparatus that includes an image capturing unit causes a display unit to display a first window including an image captured by the image capturing unit and a second window including an icon for controlling an image capturing area of the image capturing unit, receives a user operation for designating a position of the icon in the second window displayed on the display unit, and controls the image capturing area of the image capturing unit based on a position of the icon in the second window that is based on the received user operation and a position of a target object detected from a captured image.

  • Publication number: 20240031673
    Abstract: A display unit is caused to display each of a plurality of control items regarding control of an imaging apparatus using an input apparatus. The display unit is caused to display options for one or more operations belonging to a first group among a plurality of operations on the input apparatus as options for operations on the input apparatus that are assignable by a user operation to a control item of a first type among the plurality of control items. The display unit is caused to display options for one or more operations belonging to a second group different from the first group among the plurality of operations on the input apparatus as options for operations on the input apparatus that are assignable by a user operation to a control item of a second type different from the control item of the first type among the plurality of control items.
