Claim 16:
17. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium which stores a program for causing a computer to execute a notification method comprising:
obtaining a plurality of object classes organized hierarchically according to a hierarchical structure in which an object class in a higher hierarchy level contains an object class in a lower hierarchy level, the plurality of object classes having been detected from a specific image regardless of a display magnification rate of the specific image and including at least one object class in a first hierarchy level and at least one object class in a second hierarchy level lower than the first hierarchy level, wherein the object class in the higher hierarchy level has a higher level of abstraction than the object class in the lower hierarchy level;
displaying, on a display, at a first magnification rate or a second magnification rate higher than the first magnification rate, the specific image from which the plurality of object classes including the at least one object class in the first hierarchy level and the at least one object class in the second hierarchy level has been detected;
selecting a specific hierarchy level on the basis of a predetermined selection criterion, wherein when the display magnification rate of the specific image is the first magnification rate, the first hierarchy level is selected as the specific hierarchy level, and when the display magnification rate of the specific image is the second magnification rate higher than the first magnification rate, the second hierarchy level lower than the first hierarchy level is selected as the specific hierarchy level; and
notifying a user of one or more of the plurality of object classes, with priority given to an object class belonging to the specific hierarchy level,
wherein in a case where the plurality of object classes organized hierarchically, which has been detected from the specific image, is obtained, the notifying step notifies the user of the object class belonging to the specific hierarchy level selected in the selecting step, with priority given to the object class belonging to the specific hierarchy level.
