Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 8:
9. A computer-readable non-volatile recording medium causing a computer to perform an information processing method comprising:
accepting information on a user's operation to specify a target imaging range, which is an imaging range to be attained, of an imaging apparatus that captures an image;
accepting information on a user's operation to specify a moving time, which is a time to reach the target imaging range from a current imaging range of the imaging apparatus; and
causing a display to display information indicating a result of comparison between the moving time and a required time required to reach the target imaging range from the current imaging range, the required time being calculated based on the current imaging range of the imaging apparatus and the target imaging range,
wherein the imaging apparatus is capable of varying the imaging range by changing at least one of pan, tilt and zoom, and
wherein the required time corresponds to a longest time, among (a) a pan required time required to change the pan so as to reach the target imaging range from the current imaging range, (b) a tilt required time required to change the tilt so as to reach the target imaging range from the current imaging range, and (c) a zoom required time required to change the zoom so as to reach the target imaging range from the current imaging range.
