Abstract: To reduce a processing load of a server in a system for displaying an image in which a text indicated by converted text data is superimposed on an image prepared in advance. Text-including image data including text data and image data for displaying a text-including image in which a text indicated by the text data is superimposed on an image indicated by the image data is obtained. Converted text data resulting from conversion of the text data included in the text-including image data is obtained. The text data included in the image data is replaced by the converted text data. A text-including image in which a text indicated by the replaced text data is superimposed on the image indicated by the image data is displayed in a client, based on the text-including image data including the replaced text data and the image data.

Abstract: An inclination detection unit detects an inclination of the terminal device. A screen image rotation unit rotates a screen image when an inclination state of the terminal device detected by the inclination detection unit becomes a predetermined state. A captured image obtaining unit obtains a captured image of an image capturing unit for capturing an image of a user seeing the screen image. A comparison unit compares a captured image of the image capturing unit before the inclination state of the terminal device becomes the predetermined state with a captured image of the image capturing unit when or after the inclination state of the terminal device becomes the predetermined state. A suppression unit suppresses a rotation of the screen image by the screen image rotation unit, based on a result of comparison by the comparison unit.
