1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
circuitry configured to:
set a first guide region for specifying a region occupied by a user's front-view face in an imaging region;
in response to a determination that a size of the region occupied by the user's front-view face in the imaging region is within a first threshold, instruct the user to display the user's side-view face in the imaging region;
set a second guide region for specifying a region occupied by the user's side-view face in the imaging region, wherein the second guide region is different from the first guide region;
in response to a determination that a size of the region occupied by the user's side-view face in the imaging region is within a second threshold, determine whether the region occupied by the user's side-view face includes the user's ear based on at least one of: a ratio at which a region including the user's ear is included in the imaging region, a ratio of the region including the user's ear to the region occupied by the user's side-view face, or a distance between an end of the region including the user's ear and an end of the imaging region; and
capture at least one image of the user's side-view face including an ear of the user and acquire data related to the at least one captured image automatically.
