<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To ensure the navigation of an endoscope to an object site by a guiding image corresponding to an actual branching position. <P>SOLUTION: When the endoscope reaches a branch thumbnail VBS image 54(h), the VBS image is rotated, based on the data on the amount of rotation of a first rotary operation. A moving image with the amount of rotation specified by the first rotary operation is reproduced between the VBS image 54(h) and a branch thumb nail VBS image 54(i). When the endoscope reaches the image 54(i), the VBS image is rotated, based on the data on the amount of rotation of a second rotary operation. A moving image with the amount of rotation specified by the second rotary operation is reproduced between the VBS image 54(i) and a branch thumbnail VBS image 54(j). <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI |
