Abstract
An information processing system includes a processing unit that detects a pointing action for a first user in a real space to specify a first object and an evaluation action on the first object by the first user based on a signal output from a sensor that senses actions in the real space and updates evaluation information of the first object specified by a detection result of the pointing action based on a detection result of the evaluation action.
Claims18
An information processing system, comprising:
- a processing unit configured to:
- receive a signal from a sensor, wherein the sensor detects an action in a real space;
- detect a pointing action for a first user in the real space to specify a first object of a plurality of objects, wherein
- the pointing action is detected based on the received signal, and
- the first object is one of a real object on a first operation surface or a display object displayed on the first operation surface;
- detect an evaluation action on the first object by the first user based on the received signal, wherein the pointing action and the evaluation action are detected based on the received signal during a communication between the first user and a second user;
- update evaluation information of the first object specified by a detection result of the pointing action based on a detection result of the evaluation action;
- and
- in a case where a mode of the information processing system is changed from a first mode to a second mode for classification of the plurality of objects, control, for each object of the plurality of objects, display of an image corresponding to a respective object of the plurality of objects at a location corresponding to the evaluation information of the respective object on a second operation surface.
An information processing method, comprising:
- in an information processing system:
- receiving a signal from a sensor, wherein the sensor detects an action in a real space;
- detecting a pointing action for a first user in the real space to specify a first object of a plurality of objects, wherein
- the pointing action is detected based on the received signal, and
- the first object is one of a real object on a first operation surface or a display object displayed on the first operation surface;
- detecting an evaluation action on the first object by the first user based on the received signal, wherein the pointing action and the evaluation action are detected based on the received signal during a communication between the first user and a second user;
- updating evaluation information of the first object specified by a detection result of the pointing action based on a detection result of the evaluation action;
- and
- in a case where a mode of the information processing system is changed from a first mode to a second mode for classification of the plurality of objects, controlling, for each object of the plurality of objects, display of an image corresponding to a respective object of the plurality of objects at a location corresponding to the evaluation information of the respective object on a second operation surface.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon, computer executable-instructions that, when executed by a processor of an information processing system, cause the processor to execute operations, the operations comprising:
- receiving a signal from a sensor, wherein the sensor detects an action in a real space;
- detecting a pointing action for a first user in the real space to specify a first object of a plurality of objects, wherein
- the pointing action is detected based on the received signal, and
- the first object is one of a real object on a first operation surface or a display object displayed on the first operation surface;
- detecting an evaluation action on the first object by the first user based on the received signal, wherein the pointing action and the evaluation action are detected based on the received signal during a communication between the first user and a second user;
- updating evaluation information of the first object specified by a detection result of the pointing action based on a detection result of the evaluation action;
- and
- in a case where a mode of the information processing system is changed from a first mode to a second mode for classification of the plurality of objects, controlling, for each object of the plurality of objects, display of an image corresponding to a respective object of the plurality of objects at a location corresponding to the evaluation information of the respective object on a second operation surface.
