Non-transitory computer readable medium and communication method for presentation of objects over a network
A program is configured to cause a computer to execute operations, the computer being configured to remove a background from a first image captured in a first space in which a first user is located to generate a second image to be displayed to a second user in a second space that is separate from the first space, the operations including scanning an object in the first space upon detecting a cue from the first user, and transmitting an image of the scanned object together with the second image via a network.
1 . A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program configured to cause a computer to execute operations, the computer being configured to remove a background from a first image captured in a first space in which a first user is located to generate a second image to be displayed to a second user in a second space that is separate from the first space, the operations comprising:
scanning an object in the first space upon detecting a first cue from the first user;
transmitting an image of the scanned object together with the second image via a network such that the image of the scanned object and the second image are displayed together to the second user in the second space;
identifying a part of the object on which the first user is focusing;
transmitting, via the network, focus information indicating the identified part; and
upon detecting a second cue from the first user, transmitting an object deletion request requesting suspension of displaying of the image of the scanned object, together with the second image via the network,
wherein the second cue includes moving the object out of an angle of view of a camera by the first user.
2 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1 , wherein the scanning includes detecting an object held by the first user in a hand as the object in the first space.
3 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1 , wherein the scanning includes detecting an object for which the first user is reaching as the object in the first space.
4 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1 , wherein the scanning includes detecting an object that the first user is looking at as the object in the first space.
5 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1 , wherein the scanning includes detecting an object that the first user is pointing at as the object in the first space.
6 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1 , wherein the first cue includes a vocal instruction by the first user.
7 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1 , wherein the first cue includes an instruction based on movement by the first user.
8 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1 , wherein the image of the scanned object is a 2D image.
9 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1 , wherein the image of the scanned object is a 3D image.
10 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise:
prompting the first user to move the object or shift a finger or hand of the first user so that a portion of the object that is hidden by the finger or hand of the first user is captured.
11 . A communication method comprising:
scanning, by a terminal apparatus configured to remove a background from a first image captured in a first space in which a first user is located to generate a second image to be displayed to a second user in a second space that is separate from the first space, an object in the first space upon detecting a first cue from the first user;
transmitting, from the terminal apparatus, an image of the scanned object together with the second image via a network such that the image of the scanned object and the second image are displayed together to the second user in the second space;
identifying a part of the object on which the first user is focusing;
transmitting, via the network, focus information indicating the identified part; and
upon detecting a second cue from the first user, transmitting an object deletion request requesting suspension of displaying of the image of the scanned object, together with the second image via the network,
wherein the second cue includes moving the object out of an angle of view of a camera by the first user.
