Abstract

A display processing device includes a moving image generation unit, a display control unit, and an input detection unit. The moving image generation unit generates a combined moving image that is a moving image combined from a plurality of moving images. The input detection unit detects an input operation performed on the input device that receives the input operation for inputting at least one of a position on the combined moving image displayed on a display device and a direction based on the combined moving image. The display control unit allows the display device to display a moving image that is based on, among the plurality of moving images constituting the combined moving image, one or more moving images according to the input detected by the input detection unit, and that has a display mode different from at least the combined moving image.

Claims

1. A display processing device comprising:

a moving image generator generating a combined moving image that is a moving image combined from a plurality of moving images,

a display controller a display device capable of displaying a moving image to display a moving image, and

an input detector detecting an input operation performed on the input device that receives the input operation for inputting at least one of a position on the combined moving image displayed on the display device and a direction based on the combined moving image;

wherein the display controller allows the display device to display a moving image that is based on, among the plurality of moving images constituting the combined moving image, one or more moving images according to the input detected by the input detector, and that has a display mode different from at least the combined moving image, and

the display controller is further configured to display the moving image that has a display mode different from the combined moving image from a reproduction position earlier than a reproduction position in which the moving image has been displayed based on the input operation being detected by the input detector.

2. The display processing device according to claim 1, wherein the display controller allows the display device to display an individual moving image that is a moving image based on, among the plurality of moving images, one or more moving images constituting part of the combined moving image according to the input detected by the input detector.

3. The display processing device according to claim 2, wherein the display processing device comprises an image combiner combining, among the plurality of moving images, two or more moving images selected on the basis of the input detected by the input detector, and

the individual moving image contains a combined moving image combined by the image combiner.

4. The display processing device according to claim 2, wherein in the combined moving image, a region corresponding to each of the plurality of moving images constituting the combined moving image is set on the combined moving image,

the input device is configured to be able to receive the input operation for inputting the position on the combined moving image, and

the individual moving image is a moving image based on, among the plurality of moving images, one or more moving images corresponding to the position detected by the input detector.

5. The display processing device according to claim 1, wherein the plurality of moving images is captured by a plurality of cameras mounted in a vehicle.

6. A display processing method in a display processing device, the method comprising:

a moving image generation step of generating a combined moving image that is a moving image combined from a plurality of moving images,

a display control step of allowing a display device capable of displaying a moving image to display a moving image, and

an input detection step of detecting an input operation performed on the input device that receives the input operation for inputting at least one of a position on the combined moving image displayed on the display device and a direction based on the combined moving image;

wherein the display control step allows the display device to display a moving image that is based on, among the plurality of moving images constituting the combined moving image, one or more moving images according to the input detected by the input detection step, and that has a display mode different from at least the combined moving image, and

the display control step further displays the moving image that has a display mode different from the combined moving image from a reproduction position earlier than a reproduction position in which the moving image has been displayed from a timing following the input operation being detected by the input detection step.
