Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes circuitry to acquire behavior information of a plurality of users having a conversation, generate sound data based on the behavior information, and cause an output device to output an ambient sound based on the sound data, wherein the sound data is generated by combining a number of sounds, a number of beats and a tone based on the behavior information.
Claims17
An information processing system apparatus, comprising:
- an information processing apparatus including circuitry;
- an input device configured to measure behavior information of a plurality of users and input the behavior information to the information processing apparatus;
- and
- an output device configured to output a sound,
- the information processing apparatus, the input device, and the output device being connected to each other via a communication network, wherein
- the circuitry of the information processing apparatus is configured to:
- store reservation information of a scheduled conference in a memory;
- determine that the plurality of users start a conversation in the scheduled conference based on the behavior information acquired from the input device;
- automatically assign a melody to each of the plurality of users having the conversation in the scheduled conference based on the reservation information stored in the memory;
- identify a user who speaks among the plurality of users;
- determine whether the identified user speaks continuously for a predetermined time or more based on measurement by the input device;
- and
- in response to determination that the identified user speaks continuously for the predetermined time or more, generate sound data by combining a number of sounds, a number of beats and a tone based on the behavior information and the melody assigned to the identified user, and cause the output device to output an ambient sound based on the sound data, so that the ambient sound changing according to a state of the conversation is output for the plurality of users.
An information processing method using an information processing apparatus, an input device, and an output device connected to each other via a communication network, comprising:
- storing reservation information of a scheduled conference in a memory of the information processing apparatus;
- determining that a plurality of users start a conversation in the scheduled conference based on behavior information of the plurality of users acquired from the input device;
- automatically assigning a melody to each of the plurality of users having the conversation in the scheduled conference based on the reservation information stored in the memory;
- identifying a user who speaks among the plurality of users;
- determining whether the identified user speaks continuously for a predetermined time or more based on measurement by the input device;
- and
- in response to determination that the identified user speaks continuously for the predetermined time or more, generating sound data by combining a number of sounds, a number of beats and a tone based on the behavior information and the melody assigned to the identified user, and causing the output device to output an ambient sound based on the sound data, so that the ambient sound changing according to a state of the conversation is output for the plurality of users.
A non-transitory recording medium storing a plurality of instructions which, when executed by one or more processors for an information processing apparatus, an input device, and an output device connected to each other via a communication network, causes the processors to perform a method, the method comprising:
- storing reservation information of a scheduled conference in a memory of the information processing apparatus;
- determining that a plurality of users start a conversation in the scheduled conference based on behavior information of the plurality of users acquired from the input device;
- automatically assigning a melody to each of the plurality of users having the conversation in the scheduled conference based on the reservation information stored in the memory;
- identifying a user who speaks among the plurality of users;
- determining whether the identified user speaks continuously for a predetermined time or more based on measurement by the input device;
- and
- in response to determination that the identified user speaks continuously for the predetermined time or more, generating sound data by combining a number of sounds, a number of beats and a tone based on the behavior information and the melody assigned to the identified user, and causing the output device to output an ambient sound based on the sound data, so that the ambient sound changing according to a state of the conversation is output for the plurality of users.
