Patent number: 11135502Abstract: A motional state of a player in a video displaying the player in motion is easily determined. This player state display system includes a display device which displays a player video that includes information related to a motional state of the player. A processor generates, based on information that is obtained from an analysis video obtained by capturing the player in motion, a player state display image obtained by visualizing a movement zone corresponding to at least one predetermined motion of the player, and generates, as the player video, a video obtained by superimposing the player state display image on the video including the player in motion.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2017Date of Patent: October 5, 2021Assignee: PANASONIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CO., LTD.Inventor: Junko Ueda
