  • Publication number: 20230215573
    Abstract: A biological information extraction device is capable of communicating with a plurality of terminals. Each of the plurality of terminals is configured to acquire position information of a user and biological information of the user. The biological information extraction device includes: a processor; and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the biological information extraction device to perform operations. The operations include: acquiring the position information and the biological information from at least one of the plurality of terminals; accumulating a number of users having a same value of the biological information corresponding to the position information, and selecting biological information corresponding to a largest accumulation number of users for each piece of the position information.

  • Publication number: 20220309938
    Abstract: An online video distribution support method is performed by a system including one or more computers connected to communicate with viewer terminals. The method includes: acquiring a viewer image from each of the viewer terminals; displaying a screen including viewer images; detecting, using a captured image of a distributor, a line-of-sight direction of the distributor; determining, based on the line-of-sight direction, a viewer corresponding to a viewer image on the screen toward which a line-of-sight of the distributor is directed, and determining priorities of the viewer images to be displayed on the screen; and generating an updated screen using the priorities to switch the viewer images on the screen, and displaying the updated screen.

  • Publication number: 20220312069
    Abstract: An online video distribution support method is executed by a computer that is communicably connected to a plurality of viewer terminals respectively used by an N number of viewers (N is an integer equal to or larger than 2) who view an online video. The online video distribution support method includes acquiring viewer information during distribution of the online video; calculating an index indicating a viewing situation of the viewers during the distribution of the online video based on the acquired viewer information; and selecting an M number of viewers (M is an integer satisfying 1?M<N) from the N number of viewers based on the calculated index and outputting information related to the selected M number of viewers.
