Abstract
An information processing apparatus connected to a display apparatus and an input apparatus includes an image recording part for recording image data, an input part for receiving a mark to be displayed under a condition of overlapping the image from the input apparatus, a mark recording part for recording data that represents the mark, an image data acquiring part for acquiring pixel information that represents a pixel group of a portion of the image overlapping the mark in a predetermined range from the image data, an adjusting part for calculating a value that represents an overlapping degree between the mark and a character, graphic, or picture contained in the image, using the pixel information, and obtaining a position or shape of the mark whose overlapping degree represented by the value is lowest, and an output part for allowing the display apparatus to display the mark in the position or shape obtained by the adjusting part under the condition that the mark overlaps the image. The information processing apparatus can add a mark to a display image effectively without allowing the mark added to the display image to cover a character, graphic, or picture of the image.
