Abstract

A display control apparatus includes a processor configured to: obtain detection information from a detector that detects a user; obtain a movement mode of the user based on the detection information; estimate a being time during, which the user is in a predetermined viewing area of a display apparatus based on the movement mode; and control display of video data displayed on the display apparatus so that a playback time of the video data becomes less than or equal to the being time.

Claims (31)

1. A display control apparatus comprising:

a processor configured to

obtain detection information from a detector that detects a user,

obtain a movement mode of the user based on the detection information, wherein the movement mode of the user comprises a movement direction of the user in a predetermined viewing area of a display apparatus,

estimate a being time during which the user is in the predetermined viewing area of the display apparatus based on the movement mode,

control display of video data displayed on the display apparatus so that a playback time of the video data becomes less than or equal to the being time, and

from the movement direction, in a case in which movement that the user moves closer to the display apparatus is detected, compared to a case in which movement that the user moves away from the display apparatus is detected, perform control to elongate the playback time of the video data.

2. The display control apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to perform control to select video data less than or equal to the being time from among a plurality of items of video data, and to display the video data on the display apparatus.

3. The display control apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to control a playback speed of the video data so that the playback time of the video data becomes less than or equal to the being time.

4. The display control apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to, in response to detection of a plurality of users from the detection information, obtain a movement direction of each of the plurality of users based on the detection information, select a user who moves in a direction to be closer to the display apparatus than another or other users as a user of interest based on the movement direction of each user, and estimate the being time for the user of interest.

5. The display control apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the processor is configured to, in response to detection of a plurality of users from the detection information, obtain a movement direction of each of the plurality of users based on the detection information, select a user who moves in a direction to be closer to the display apparatus than another or other users as a user of interest based on the movement direction of each user, and estimate the being time for the user of interest.

6. The display control apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the processor is configured to, in response to detection of a plurality of users from the detection information, obtain a movement direction of each of the plurality of users based on the detection information, select a user who moves in a direction to be closer to the display apparatus than another or other users as a user of interest based on the movement direction of each user, and estimate the being time for the user of interest.

7. The display control apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to, in response to detection of a plurality of users from the detection information, obtain a gaze direction of each of the plurality of users based on the detection information, select a user who directs the user's gaze more to the display apparatus than another or other users as a user of interest based on the gaze direction of each user, and estimate the being time for the user of interest.

8. The display control apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the processor is configured to, in response to detection of a plurality of users from the detection information, obtain a gaze direction of each of the plurality of users based on the detection information, select a user who directs the user's gaze more to the display apparatus than another or other users as a user of interest based on the gaze direction of each user, and estimate the being time for the user of interest.

9. The display control apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the processor is configured to, in response to detection of a plurality of users from the detection information, obtain a gaze direction of each of the plurality of users based on the detection information, select a user who directs the user's gaze more to the display apparatus than another or other users as a user of interest based on the gaze direction of each user, and estimate the being time for the user of interest.

10. The display control apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to, in response to detection of a plurality of users from the detection information, estimate an attribute of each of the plurality of users based on the detection information, select a user who has a same or similar attribute to an attribute of a user to which video data displayed on the display apparatus is targeted as a user of interest, and estimate the being time for the user of interest.

11. The display control apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the processor is configured to, in response to detection of a plurality of users from the detection information, estimate an attribute of each of the plurality of users based on the detection information, select a user who has a same or similar attribute to an attribute of a user to which video data displayed on the display apparatus is targeted as a user of interest, and estimate the being time for the user of interest.

12. The display control apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the processor is configured to, in response to detection of a plurality of users from the detection information, estimate an attribute of each of the plurality of users based on the detection information, select a user who has a same or similar attribute to an attribute of a user to which video data displayed on the display apparatus is targeted as a user of interest, and estimate the being time for the user of interest.

13. A display control apparatus comprising:

a processor configured to

obtain detection information from a detector that detects a plurality of users,

estimate at least one of a position, a movement direction, a movement speed, and an attribute of each of the plurality of users based on the detection information,

for at least one of the position, the movement direction, the movement speed, and the attribute of each user, classify users who have a same or similar mode into a same cluster,

from among a plurality of clusters, select a cluster including a largest number of users constituting the cluster as a cluster of interest,

estimate a being time during which an average position of the cluster of interest, a center position of the cluster of interest, or a top position of the cluster of interest with respect to a display apparatus is in a predetermined viewing area of the display apparatus, and

control display of video data displayed on the display apparatus so that a playback time of the video data becomes less than or equal to the being time.

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

obtaining detection information from a detector that detects a user;

obtaining a movement mode of the user based on the detection information, wherein the movement mode of the user comprises a movement direction of the user in a predetermined viewing area of a display apparatus;

estimating a being time during which the user is in the predetermined viewing area of the display apparatus based on the movement mode; controlling display of video data displayed on the display apparatus so that a playback time of the video data becomes less than or equal to the being time; and

from the movement direction, in a case in which movement that the user moves closer to the display apparatus is detected, compared to a case in which movement that the user moves away from the display apparatus is detected, performing control to elongate the playback time of the video data.
