Abstract

An information processing system includes an attribute-information acquisition unit and an identification unit. The attribute-information acquisition unit acquires an attribute of an object that is present in a real space in accordance with information regarding the object an object image of which is captured. The identification unit identifies an image that is a virtual image associated with the attribute acquired by the attribute-information acquisition unit, the image being combined with the object image.

Claims (48)

1. An information processing system comprising:

a processor programmed to

acquire a real image captured in a real space,

divide the real image into a plurality of regions,

identify an attribute of each of the plurality of regions,

select a region of the plurality of regions in accordance with a predetermined rule, the predetermined rule being one of (i) selecting the region in accordance with a predetermined priority of the attribute of the region and (ii) selecting the region at random,

identify one or more prestored virtual images stored in association with the selected region, and

combine the one or more prestored virtual images with the acquired real image such that the one or more prestored virtual images are presented only in the selected region, to thereby generate a composite image.

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

a display that displays the composite image.

3. The information processing system according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a memory that stores an association between the prestored virtual images and the attributes of the plurality of regions.

4. The information processing system according to claim 2 , further comprising:

a memory that stores an association between the prestored virtual images and the attributes of the plurality of regions.

5. The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein

the captured real image is a video and the prestored virtual image is repeatedly combined with the video.

6. The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the predetermined rule is selecting the region in accordance with the predetermined priority of the attribute of the region.

7. The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the predetermined rule is selecting the region at random.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing thereon a program causing a computer to execute a process, the process comprising:

acquiring a real image captured in a real space,

dividing the real image into a plurality of regions,

identifying an attribute of each of the plurality of regions,

selecting a region of the plurality of regions in accordance with a predetermined rule, the predetermined rule being one of (i) selecting the region in accordance with a predetermined priority of the attribute of the region and (ii) selecting the region at random,

identifying one or more prestored virtual images stored in association with the selected region, and

combining the one or more prestored virtual images with the acquired real image such that the one or more prestored virtual images are presented only in the selected region, to thereby generate a composite image.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 8 , the process further comprising:

displaying the composite image.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 8 , the process further comprising:

storing an association between the prestored virtual images and the attributes of the plurality of regions.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 9 , the process further comprising:

storing an association between the prestored virtual images and the attributes of the plurality of regions.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 8 , wherein

the captured real image is a video and the prestored virtual image is repeatedly combined with the video.

13. A method comprising:

acquiring a real image captured in a real space;

dividing the real image into a plurality of regions;

identifying an attribute of each of the plurality of regions;

selecting a region of the plurality of regions in accordance with a predetermined rule, the predetermined rule being one of (i) selecting the region in accordance with a predetermined priority of the attribute of the region and (ii) selecting the region at random;

identifying one or more prestored virtual images stored in association with the selected region; and

combining the one or more prestored virtual images with the acquired real image such that the one or more prestored virtual images are presented only in the selected region, to thereby generate a composite image.

14. The method according to claim 13 , further comprising:

displaying the composite image.

15. The method according to claim 13 , further comprising:

storing an association between the prestored virtual images and the attributes of the plurality of regions.

16. The method according to claim 14 , further comprising:

storing an association between the prestored virtual images and the attributes of the plurality of regions.

17. The method according to claim 13 , wherein

the captured real image is a video and the prestored virtual image is repeatedly combined with the video.
