Abstract

To perform matching between a user who provides a first person view and a user who views the first person view. An icon indicating a current position of each Body is displayed on a map of a range that is currently specified. A Ghost can select a Body to whom the Ghost desires to perform JackIn by specifying an icon in a desired position by UI operation such as a touch or click. Further, when a keyword for limiting behavior or the like is input to a search field, only Bodies extracted on the basis of the behavior are displayed. Then, when selection is settled, a JackIn request is transmitted from the Ghost to the selected Body.

Claims (34)

1. An information processing device comprising:

at least one processor configured to:

transmit, based on a start condition set by at least one mobile device, acceptance information to at least one display device via a server, wherein the acceptance information allows the at least one display device to acquire an image that is captured by an imaging unit of the at least one mobile device;

receive, from the at least one display device which has received the acceptance information, application for connection to the at least one mobile device,

control, based on the received application, the at least one mobile device to start distribution of the image to the display device, and

allow, based on permission level settings, one or more actions performed at the display device to control movement of a body part of a user at the information processing device through a drive unit at the information processing device.

2. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one display device includes a plurality of display devices, and,

wherein the at least one processor is configured to control the at least one mobile device to start distribution of the image to each of the plurality of display devices only in a case where the number of the plurality of display devices satisfies the set start condition.

3. The information processing device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the at least one mobile device is a wearable device, and

wherein the acceptance information further allows the at least one display device to control a speaker of the wearable device to output audio based on an audio input from the display device.

4. The information processing device according to claim 3 ,

wherein the wearable device is a head-mounted display,

wherein the image is a real-time first-person-view image captured by the imaging unit of the head-mounted display, and

wherein the at least one processor is configured to control, based on the received application, the at least one mobile device to start distribution of the real-time first-person-view image to the display device.

5. An information processing method comprising:

transmitting, based on a start condition set by at least one mobile device, acceptance information to at least one display device via a server, wherein the acceptance information allows the at least one display device to acquire an image that is captured by an imaging unit of the at least one mobile device;

receiving, from the at least one display device which has received the acceptance information, application for connection to the at least one mobile device,

controlling, based on the received application, the at least one mobile device to start distribution of the image to the display device, and

allowing, based on permission level settings, one or more actions performed at the display device to effect movement of a body part of a user at the information processing device using a drive unit at the processing device.

6. At least one non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with instructions which, when executed by at least one processor of a mobile device, cause the mobile device to:

transmit, based on a start condition set by the mobile device, acceptance information to at least one display device via a server, wherein the acceptance information allows the at least one display device to acquire an image that is captured by an imaging unit of the mobile device;

receive, from the at least one display device which has received the acceptance information, application for connection to the mobile device,

control, based on the received application, the mobile device to start distribution of the image to the display device, and

allow, based on permission level settings, one or more actions performed at the display device to effect movement of a body part of a user at the information processing device using a drive unit at the processing device.

7. The information processing device according to claim 1 , further comprising the at least one processor being configured to receive a position information of a given mobile device.

8. The information processing device according to claim 7 , wherein the position information comprises Global Positioning System (GPS) signals.

9. The information processing device according to claim 7 , further comprising the at least one processor being configured to transmit the position information to the display device.

10. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the drive unit includes an actuator for applying tactile sensations or electrical simulations to the body part of the user.

11. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the drive unit comprises a device that drives a powered unit or exoskeleton on the body part of the user.

12. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more actions are allowed based on a mission, the mission comprising a range of user activities permitted by the information processing device.

13. The information processing device according to claim 5 , further comprising detecting position information of a given mobile device of the at least one mobile device.

14. The information processing device according to claim 13 , further comprising transmitting the position information to the display device.

15. The information processing device according to claim 13 , further comprising using the position information to select the given mobile device of the at least one mobile device for communicating with the display device.
