Abstract

In an information processing method, the importance degree of each person who appears in a first image group and the importance degree of each person who appears in a second image group, containing the first image group, are determined, and, when selecting the image of the output target from the first image group, in a case in which the importance degree of a candidate image of the output target included in the first image group, which is determined from the appearance count in the first image group, exceeds a first threshold, and, in a case in which the importance degree of the candidate image of the output target, which is determined from the appearance count in the second image group, exceeds a second threshold, the candidate image is selected as the output target.
