  • Patent number: 9454300
    Abstract: According to an aspect, a device includes a photographing unit, a display unit, and a control unit. The photographing unit captures an image. The display unit displays the image captured by the photographing unit. The control unit causes the display unit to display an object related to the image captured by the photographing unit so as to be superimposed on the image, and performs a selection process of the object when a body overlaps the object.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 21, 2012
