1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
communication circuitry that is electrically connectable with one or more imaging apparatuses in a manner that permits the communication circuitry to communicate electronically with any of the imaging apparatuses; and
a controller that is electrically connected to the communication circuitry in a manner that permits the controller to:
determine whether or not the information processing apparatus has a live view right for each of the imaging apparatuses,
detect a total quantity of the imaging apparatuses with the live view right, and
cause a display screen to switch, from a first display state to a second display state when the controller decides that the total quantity has changed, a display state of a display screen related to imaging operations of the imaging apparatuses,
determine whether the information processing apparatus has an operation right for each of the imaging apparatuses,
in response to determining that the information processing apparatus has the live view right for each of the imaging apparatuses and has the operation right for each of the imaging apparatuses, cause the display screen to display a first operation object for operating a corresponding imaging apparatus with the operation right, and
in response to determining that the information processing apparatus has the live view right for each of the imaging apparatuses and does not have the operation right for any of the imaging apparatuses, inhibit display of the first operation object,
wherein the live view right is a right which displays, as a live view image, images generated by the imaging apparatuses, and
the first operation object is displayed adjacent to the live view image generated by the corresponding imaging apparatus with the operation right.
