Image Processing Device, Image Processing System, Computer Control Method, and Information Storage Medium
First Claim
1. An image processing device connected to image capturing means for sequentially capturing images of a user, comprising:
- process execution means for carrying out any of a plurality of processes to be carried out based on at least one of the images sequentially captured by the image capturing means;
area specification data acquisition means for obtaining area specification data for specifying an area where the user is shown in the image, based on a difference between the images sequentially captured by the image capturing means; and
process switching means for switching a process to be carried out by the process execution means, depending on a position of an edge of the area specified by the area specification data obtained by the area specification data acquisition means.

Abstract
To enable a prompt switching operation by a user. An image processing device connected to an image capturing section has a process execution section for executing any of a plurality of processes, obtains area specification data for specifying an area where the user is shown in the image, based on a difference between the images sequentially captured by the image capturing section images, and switches a process to be carried out by the process execution section, depending on the position of an edge of the area specified by the area specification data obtained.
