  • Publication number: 20230283844
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus acquires a video captured by an imaging apparatus, acquires a plurality of sounds picked up by a plurality of sound pickup apparatuses in sync with capturing of the video, acquires state information regarding an attention state of a viewer to the video, and generates audio to be reproduced with the video by combining the plurality of sounds, wherein, in a case where the state information indicates that the viewer is having an overall view of the video, a plurality of sounds picked up by a plurality of sound pickup apparatuses set inside an area being watched by the viewer in the video are combined with an equal ratio, and sounds picked up by sound pickup apparatuses set outside the area are combined with a ratio that is reduced as the distance from the area to the sound pickup apparatuses increases.

  • Patent number: 9285919
    Abstract: An information processing device including a control unit reduces an occurrence of a malfunction without changing a layout of a displayed object in a situation where a user supports the information processing device with one hand and performs the touch operation with that hand. The control unit sets a first area and a second area on a screen and senses a position on the screen touched by the user. An operation identified in accordance with the position sensed in the first area is invalidated so as not to be executed in the information processing device if the touch position was sensed in the second area within a predetermined time after the touch position was sensed in the first area.

  • Patent number: 8423916
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus inputs a coordinate value of a position designated on a screen which displays one or a plurality of objects, compares an input locus expressed by the input coordinate value string with a second locus, which is defined in advance as a locus used to give the instruction to execute a process for an object, and determines whether the input locus is a first locus or the second locus. When it is determined that the input locus is the first locus, the apparatus selects an object from the one or plurality of objects based on the display positions of the input locus and the object on the screen. When it is determined that the input locus is the second locus, the apparatus executes a process designated by the input locus with respect to the selected object.

  • Publication number: 20100146424
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes an instruction identification unit that identifies an instruction based on an operation of the instruction of a user, an instruction locus identification unit that identifies an instruction locus corresponding to the instruction identified by the instruction identification unit based on association information that associates the instruction and the instruction locus of the instruction, and a presentation unit that associates and presents content of the instruction identified by the instruction identification unit and the instruction locus identified by the instruction locus identification unit and presents the content of the instruction and the instruction locus to give the instruction, to the user while explicitly illustrating a correspondence relationship of both.
