1. A medical information processing system, comprising:
processing circuitry configured to:
switch a processing mode based on a switching signal coupled to a light source configured to output a first light for narrow band imaging or fluorescence image or a second light for normal imaging to a medical imaging device, the switching signal indicating which of the first light and the second light is output from the light source,
output, in a first processing mode when the first light is output from the light source, a first resolution image generated by combining a plurality of medical images generated by the medical imaging device,
output, in a second processing mode when the second light is output from the light source, a second resolution image, the first resolution image having a higher resolution than the second resolution image.
