Content sharing system with a plurality of users in augmented reality
An AR system includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire a user state, an identification unit configured to identify gazed content which is content at which a content sharing source user is gazing, a first decision unit configured to decide whether or not to share the gazed content with other users, a second decision unit configured to identify a content sharing destination candidate user having a strong relationship with the content sharing source user on the basis of user states of the content sharing source user and one or more content sharing destination candidate users when the gazed content is shared with the other users and decide on the identified content sharing destination candidate user as a content sharing destination user, and a sharing unit configured to share the gazed content with the content sharing destination user.
1. A content sharing system comprising:
circuitry configured to
acquire a user state including at least a visual line direction and position information for each of a plurality of users including a first user who is a user of a content sharing source and one or more second users who are users of content sharing candidates;
identify gazed content which is content at which the first user is gazing on the basis of the acquired user state of the first user;
decide whether or not to share the gazed content with other users on the basis of at least one of information of the gazed content and the user state of the first user;
identify a second user having a strong relationship with the first user on the basis of user states of the first user and the one or more second users when the gazed content is shared with the other users and decide on the identified second user as a content sharing destination user; and
share the gazed content with the content sharing destination user,
wherein the circuitry decides on the second user whose visual field overlaps that of the first user and whose distance from the first user is less than a predetermined threshold value as the content sharing destination user.
2. The content sharing system according to claim 1 , wherein the second user is identified as having a strong relationship with the first user based on the second user being in a specific relationship category with the first user and is at least in a same space as the first user.
3. A content sharing system comprising:
circuitry configured to
acquire a user state including at least a visual line direction and position information for each of a plurality of users including a first user who is a user of a content sharing source and one or more second users who are users of content sharing candidates;
identify gazed content which is content at which the first user is gazing on the basis of the acquired user state of the first user;
decide whether or not to share the gazed content with other users on the basis of at least one of information of the gazed content and the user state of the first user;
identify a second user having a strong relationship with the first user on the basis of user states of the first user and the one or more second users when the gazed content is shared with the other users and decide on the identified second user as a content sharing destination user; and
share the gazed content with the content sharing destination user,
wherein the circuitry identifies flow lines of the first user and the one or more second users on the basis of a time-series change in position information indicated in the user state and decides on the second user whose flow line matches that of the first user as the content sharing destination user.
4. A content sharing system comprising:
circuitry configured to
acquire a user state including at least a visual line direction and position information for each of a plurality of users including a first user who is a user of a content sharing source and one or more second users who are users of content sharing candidates;
identify gazed content which is content at which the first user is gazing on the basis of the acquired user state of the first user;
decide whether or not to share the gazed content with other users on the basis of at least one of information of the gazed content and the user state of the first user;
identify a second user having a strong relationship with the first user on the basis of user states of the first user and the one or more second users when the gazed content is shared with the other users and decide on the identified second user as a content sharing destination user; and
share the gazed content with the content sharing destination user,
wherein the circuitry further decides on the second user as the content sharing destination user when the same second user is located in visual line directions of the content sharing destination user and the first user in a situation in which the gazed content is shared with the content sharing destination user by the circuitry.
