Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an information processing system, a storage medium and a control method through which a user privacy level in a telepresence system can be set depending on a counterpart. The information processing system includes a setting unit that automatically sets a privacy level depending on a user of a communication destination device; a communication unit that transmits a picture of a user of a communication source device to the communication destination device; and a controller that performs control to mask the picture of the user of the communication source device depending on the automatically set privacy level.
Claims14
An information processing system, comprising:
- a controller configured to:
- acquire a current privacy level as a first privacy level of a first user of a communication source device;
- determine a second privacy level of the first user based on a second user of a communication destination device;
- calculate a difference between the first privacy level and the second privacy level;
- set the second privacy level for the first user based on the difference that is greater than or equal to a threshold value;
- control transmission of a first picture of the first user of the communication source device to the communication destination device;
- and
- mask the first picture of the first user of the communication source device based on the set second privacy level.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to execute operations, the operations comprising:
- acquiring a current privacy level as a first privacy level of a first user of a communication source device;
- determining a second privacy level of the first user based on a second user of a communication destination device;
- calculating a difference between the first privacy level and the second privacy level;
- setting the second privacy level for the first user based on the difference that is greater than or equal to a threshold value;
- transmitting a picture of the first user to the communication destination device;
- and
- masking the picture of the first user based on the set second privacy level.
A control method, comprising:
- acquiring a current privacy level as a first privacy level of a first user of a communication source device;
- determining a second privacy level of the first user based on a second user of a communication destination device;
- calculating a difference between the first privacy level and the second privacy level;
- setting the second privacy level for the first user of the communication source device based on the difference that is greater than or equal to a threshold value;
- transmitting a picture of the first user of the communication source device to the communication destination device;
- and
- masking the picture of the first user of the communication source device based on the set second privacy level.
