Abstract:
1. A communication device, comprising: a receiving unit that receives image data generated by an imaging process of an imaging device facing a predetermined imaging direction and imaging direction information representing the predetermined imaging direction; an operating unit that generates direction instruction information indicating an imaging direction of the imaging device in response to an operation of a user; an image clipping unit that clips a predetermined region of the image data; a display unit that displays an image based on the image data of the predetermined region; a region position adjusting unit that adjusts a position of the predetermined region in the image data based on the imaging direction information and the direction instruction information; an operation start detecting unit that detects whether a hand of the user approaches the operating unit; a size change instructing unit that generates size change instruction information instructing the imaging device to change an image size of the image data to be transmitted by the imaging device from a first size to a second size larger than the first size, when the operation start detecting unit detects that the hand of the user approaches the operating unit; and a transmitting unit that transmits the size change instruction information to the imaging device, wherein when the image data received by the receiving unit is an image with the first size, the image clipping unit does not perform clipping of the image data of the predetermined region, and the display unit displays an image based on the image data received by the receiving unit.
