  • Patent number: 10497160
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus displays an image relating to image data captured by an image capturing unit and includes a first display control unit that superimposes a first object on the image, the first object indicating a position corresponding to a partial image corresponding to a part of the image captured by the image capturing unit, and a second display control unit that superimposes a second object on the image, the second object indicating a direction for enabling a position of the partial image to be moved on the image.
