Abstract

An artificial intelligence information processing device that generates information about a scene according to artificial intelligence is provided. The artificial intelligence information processing device includes a gaze degree estimation unit configured to estimate a degree of gaze of a user who is watching content according to artificial intelligence on the basis of sensor information, an acquisition unit configured to acquire a video of a scene at which the user gazes in the content and information about the content on the basis of an estimation result of the gaze degree estimation unit, and a scene information estimation unit configured to estimate information about the scene at which the user gazes according to artificial intelligence on the basis of the video of the scene at which the user gazes and the information about the content.

Claims (56)

1. An artificial intelligence information processing device, comprising:

circuitry configured to:

receive sensor information of a user who watches first content;

apply a first artificial intelligence operation on the received sensor information;

estimate a degree of gaze of the user based on the applied first artificial intelligence operation;

acquire, based on the estimated degree of gaze of the user, a video of a scene at which the user gazes in the first content and first information about the first content;

apply a second artificial intelligence operation on the video of the scene and the first information about the first content;

estimate second information about the scene based on the applied second artificial intelligence operation,

wherein the second information about the scene includes first metadata that characterizes the scene;

customize the first metadata-characterizing the scene based on an input of the user;

acquire, based on the scene and the customized first metadata, a plurality of pieces of second content and second metadata corresponding to each piece of second content of the plurality of pieces of second content; and

control a display device to display the second metadata and representative images of the plurality of pieces of second content.

2. The artificial intelligence information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein

the circuitry is further configured to:

estimate third information about a plurality of scenes based on the second artificial intelligence operation; and

estimate, based on a neural network, the second information about the scene,

the neural network is trained on correlations of a plurality of videos of the plurality of scenes and the third information about the plurality of scenes,

the plurality of scenes includes the scene, and

the plurality of videos includes the video.

3. The artificial intelligence information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein

the circuitry is further configured to:

estimate a plurality of degrees of gaze of the user based on the first artificial intelligence operation; and

estimate, based on a neural network, the degree of gaze having a correlation with the sensor information,

the neural network is trained on correlations between the sensor information and the plurality of degrees of gaze of the user, and

the plurality of degrees of gaze includes the degree of gaze.

4. The artificial intelligence information processing device according to claim 3 , wherein

the sensor information includes an image of the user who watches the first content,

the circuitry is further configured to estimate, based on the neural network, the degree of gaze having a correlation with a face recognition result of a plurality of face recognition results in the image, and

the neural network is trained on correlations between the plurality of face recognition results and the plurality of degrees of gaze of the user.

5. The artificial intelligence information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the first content includes at least one of broadcast content or stream distribution content.

6. The artificial intelligence information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to control the display device to display the second information about the scene.

7. The artificial intelligence information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to control the display device to display the scene and the second information about the scene.

8. An artificial intelligence information processing device, comprising:

circuitry configured to:

receive sensor information of a user who watches first content;

estimate, based on a first neural network, first information about a scene of a plurality of scenes in the first content at which the user gazes, wherein

the first neural network is trained on correlations between the sensor information, the first content and second information on the first content, and third information about the plurality of scenes at which the user gazes, and

the first information about the scene includes first metadata that characterizes the scene;

customize the first metadata based on an input of the user;

acquire, based on the scene and the customized first metadata, a plurality of pieces of second content and second metadata corresponding to each piece of second content of the plurality of pieces of second content; and

control a display device to display the second metadata and representative images of the plurality of pieces of second content.

9. The artificial intelligence information processing device according to claim 8 , wherein

the sensor information includes at least an image of the user who watches is the first content,

the circuitry is further configured to estimate, based on a second neural network, the first information about thescene, and

the second neural network is trained on correlations between face images, the first content and the second information on the first content, and the third information about the plurality of scenes at which the user gazes.

10. An artificial intelligence information processing method, comprising:

receiving sensor information of a user who watches first content;

applying a first artificial intelligence operation on the received sensor information;

estimating a degree of gaze of the user based on the applied first artificial intelligence operation;

acquiring, based on the estimated degree of gaze of the user, a video of a scene at which the user gazes in the first content and first information about the first content;

applying a second artificial intelligence operation on the video of the scene and the first information about the first content;

estimating second information about the scene based on the applied second artificial intelligence operation,

wherein the second information about the scene includes first metadata that characterizes the scene;

customizing the first metadata based on an input of the user;

acquiring, based on the scene and the customized first metadata, a plurality of pieces of second content and second metadata corresponding to each piece of second content of the plurality of pieces of second content; and

controlling a display device to display the second metadata and representative images of the plurality of pieces of second content.
