The information processing section also generates stability information representing a degree of stability of a communication state of the communication information. A display control section superimposes the extracted information for display contained in the communication information of each region on the taken images, in a mode determined in accordance with the corresponding generated stability information, and displays the information for display superimposed on the images on a display device.
