Abstract

An information processing device includes a display unit; an object image obtaining unit configured to obtain images of objects to be displayed on the screen of the display unit; a real size obtaining unit configured to obtain information related to the real size of the objects to be displayed on the screen of the display unit; and a calculating unit configured to process the images of the objects, based on the real size of the objects obtained by the real size obtaining unit.

Claims (25)

1 . An information processing device, comprising:

a display unit;

an object image obtaining unit configured to obtain images of objects to be displayed on the screen of the display unit;

a real size obtaining unit configured to obtain information related to the real size of the objects to be displayed on the screen of the display unit; and

a calculating unit configured to process the images of the objects, based on the real size of the objects obtained by the real size obtaining unit.

2 . The information processing device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a display capabilities obtaining unit configured to obtain information related to the display capabilities including screen size and resolution of the screen of the display unit, and wherein the calculating unit processes images of the objects to display in real size on the screen of the display unit, based on the display capabilities obtained by the display capabilities obtaining unit, and the real size of the objects obtained by the real size obtaining unit.

3 . The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the calculating unit, when simultaneously displaying images of multiple objects, which are obtained by the object image obtaining unit, on the screen of the display unit, processes the images of the multiple objects so that the relation in size of the corresponding images of the objects is displayed correctly.

4 . The information processing device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a camera unit; and

a real size estimating unit configured to estimate the real size of objects included in images taken by the camera unit.

5 . The information processing device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a camera unit;

an image recognition unit configured to recognize faces of users included in images taken by the camera unit, and obtains face data;

a distance detection unit configured to detect the distance to the user; and

a real size estimating unit configured to estimate the real size of faces of the users, based on the distance to the user and face data of the user.

6 . An information processing method, comprising:

obtaining images of objects displayed on a screen;

obtaining information related to the real size of the objects displayed on the screen; and

processing images of the objects, based on the real size of the objects obtained by obtaining information relating to the real size.

7 . A computer program written in a computer-readable format, causing a computer to function as:

a display unit;

an object image obtaining unit configured to obtain images of objects to be displayed on the screen of the display unit;

a real size obtaining unit configured to obtain information related to the real size of the objects displayed on the screen of the display unit; and

a calculating unit configured to process the images of the objects, based on the real size of objects obtained by the real size obtaining unit.
