1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
- circuitry configured toextract a feature point from a captured image,recognize a position of the feature point,concurrently display, based on the position of the feature point, a feature-point pointer indicating the feature point, a plurality of user interfaces arranged as a ring surrounding the feature-point pointer, a mirrored image, and a content image associated with a program channel,issue, based on the position of the feature point, a command corresponding to the position of the feature point or a motion of the feature point relative to at least one of the user interfaces surrounding the feature-point pointer, andcause a change in the content image in response to the command,wherein the mirrored image corresponds with a translucent, horizontally flipped version of the captured image, andthe plurality of user interfaces are removed from display in response to a dragging of the feature-point pointer outside of the ring.

Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes an extracting unit for extracting a feature point from a captured image; a recognizing unit for recognizing a position of the feature point; a display unit for displaying, based on the position of the feature point, a feature-point pointer indicating the feature point and a mirrored image of the captured image in a translucent manner; and an issuing unit for issuing, based on the position of the feature point, a command corresponding to the position of the feature point or a motion of the feature point.

1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
-
circuitry configured to extract a feature point from a captured image, recognize a position of the feature point, concurrently display, based on the position of the feature point, a feature-point pointer indicating the feature point, a plurality of user interfaces arranged as a ring surrounding the feature-point pointer, a mirrored image, and a content image associated with a program channel, issue, based on the position of the feature point, a command corresponding to the position of the feature point or a motion of the feature point relative to at least one of the user interfaces surrounding the feature-point pointer, and cause a change in the content image in response to the command, wherein the mirrored image corresponds with a translucent, horizontally flipped version of the captured image, and the plurality of user interfaces are removed from display in response to a dragging of the feature-point pointer outside of the ring. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)

10. An image processing method comprising:
-
extracting a feature point from a captured image; recognizing a position of the feature point; concurrently displaying, based on the position of the feature point, a feature-point pointer indicating the feature point, a plurality of user interfaces arranged as a ring surrounding the feature-point pointer, a mirrored image, and a content image associated with a program channel; issuing, based on the position of the feature point, a command corresponding to the position of the feature point or a motion of the feature point relative to at least one of the user interfaces surrounding the feature-point pointer; and causing a change in the content image in response to the command, wherein the mirrored image corresponds with a translucent, horizontally flipped version of the captured image, and the plurality of user interfaces are removed from display in response to a dragging of the feature-point pointer outside of the ring. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising program code, the program code being operable, when executed by a computer system, to cause the computer system to perform steps comprising:
-
extracting a feature point from a captured image; recognizing a position of the feature point; concurrently displaying, based on the position of the feature point, a feature-point pointer indicating the feature point, a plurality of user interfaces arranged as a ring surrounding the feature-point pointer, a mirrored image, and a content image associated with a program channel; issuing, based on the position of the feature point, a command corresponding to the position of the feature point or a motion of the feature point relative to at least one of the user interfaces surrounding the feature-point pointer; and causing a change in the content image in response to the command, wherein the mirrored image corresponds with a translucent, horizontally flipped version of the captured image, and the plurality of user interfaces are removed from display in response to a dragging of the feature-point pointer outside of the ring. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)

18. An image processing apparatus comprising:
-
extracting means for extracting a feature point from a captured image; recognizing means for recognizing a position of the feature point; display means for concurrently displaying, based on the position of the feature point, a feature-point pointer indicating the feature point, a plurality of user interfaces arranged as a ring surrounding the feature-point pointer, a mirrored image, and a content image associated with a program channel; issuing means for issuing, based on the position of the feature point, a command corresponding to the position of the feature point or a motion of the feature point relative to at least one of the user interfaces surrounding the feature-point pointer; and means for causing a change in the content image in response to the command, wherein the mirrored image corresponds with a translucent, horizontally flipped version of the captured image, and the plurality of user interfaces are removed from display in response to a dragging of the feature-point pointer outside of the ring. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
