Claim Text:
1. An information processing device, comprising: a reception unit configured to receive a change instruction to change a display image, which is at least a portion of a modified version of an entire image; a display image generation unit configured to identify, according to the change instruction, a first scaling factor for the display image, and configured to generate the display image at the first scaling factor; an acquisition unit configured to acquire superimposition data, which includes information for producing the display image, the superimposition data including: a superimposition processing unit configured to process a superimposition image from the superimposition data after the viewer has generated the at least one comment and after the at least one comment has been added to the superposition image data, the superimposition processing unit configured to identify the second scaling factor of the at least a portion of the initial version of the entire image from the superposition scaling data, wherein the superimposition processing unit includes: a determination unit configured to determine whether the first scaling factor of the display image and the second scaling factor of the at least a portion of the initial version of the entire image from the superimposition scaling data are in a predetermined relationship, where the predetermined relationship includes that the first scaling factor is within a range defined by a lower limit and an upper limit that are dependent on the second scaling factor; and a superimposition image generation unit configured to generate the superimposition image to be included in the at least a portion of the initial version of the entire image to produce the display image, based on the determination such that the at least one comment of the viewer is only included in the display image and only visible in the display image when the first scaling factor and the second scaling factor are in the predetermined relationship.
