Abstract:
1. A terminal apparatus comprising: a display that is disposed on a case and is configured to display an image; a first camera disposed on a surface on which the display performs image display; a second camera disposed on a surface opposite the surface on which the first camera is disposed; a plurality of microphones disposed on the case; and processing circuitry configured to control detection of sound transmitted from a sound source on a side of the first camera with sound signals obtained by at least one of the plurality of microphones, and automatically combine a first image which is captured by the first camera with a second image captured by the second camera on the basis of a result of the detection of sound transmitted from the sound source on the side of the first camera having a level equal to or higher than a threshold value, wherein the first image and the second image are each moving images, and the processing circuitry automatically combines the first image and the second image while the moving images for the first image and the second image are being captured by the first camera and the second camera respectively, the processing circuitry being further configured to determine whether a mouth of a user facing a side of the first camera has moved and to determine if there is a sound from the user obtained by at least one of the plurality of microphones, and automatically combine the first image with the second image when the processing circuitry determines that there is a sound from the user obtained by at least one of the plurality of microphones and that the mouth of the user has moved, and when there is no detection of sound transmitted from the sound source on the side of the first camera by the processing circuitry, the second image is displayed on the display without the first image.
