Information processing device, information processing method, and program

An information processing device comprising:

• circuitry configured to
• receive line-of-sight information about viewers on a shared screen displayed on a display device,
• calculate a degree of correlation of the line-of-sight information between the plurality of viewers based on a degree of dispersion of the line-of-sight information about the plurality of viewers, and
• determine whether to display line-of-sight guidance for guiding lines of sight of the plurality of viewers, based on the line-of-sight information about the plurality of viewers,
• wherein the line-of-sight information includes multiple information items about the lines of sight of the plurality of viewers, and
• wherein the circuitry determines whether to display the line-of-sight guidance based on the degree of correlation of the multiple information items about the lines of sight of the plurality of viewers calculated based on the degree of dispersion.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having embodied thereon a program, which when executed by that causes an information processing device of a computer causes the computer to execute a method, the method comprising:

• receiving line-of-sight information about viewers on a shared screen displayed on a display device;
• calculating a degree of correlation of the line-of-sight information between the plurality of viewers based on a degree of dispersion of the line-of-sight information about the plurality of viewers;
• and
• determining whether to display line-of-sight guidance for guiding lines of sight of the plurality of viewers, based on the line-of-sight information about the plurality of viewers,
• wherein the line-of-sight information includes multiple information items about the lines of sight of the plurality of viewers, and
• wherein it is determined whether to display the line-of-sight guidance based on the degree of correlation of the multiple information items about the lines of sight of the plurality of viewers calculated based on the degree of dispersion.

An information processing method comprising:

• receiving line-of-sight information about a plurality of viewers on a shared screen displayed on a display device;
• calculating a degree of correlation of the line-of-sight information between the plurality of viewers;
• and
• determining whether to display line-of-sight guidance for guiding lines of sight of the plurality of viewers, based on the line-of-sight information about the plurality of viewers;
• wherein the line-of-sight information includes coordinates of focus points of the plurality of viewers on the shared screen and includes multiple information items about the lines of sight of the plurality of viewers,
• wherein the degree of correlation is calculated based on information corresponding to an aspect ratio of the display device, and
• wherein it is determined whether to display the line-of-sight guidance based on the degree of correlation of the multiple information items about the lines of sight of the plurality of viewers calculated based on the aspect ratio of the display device.

An information processing method comprising:

• receiving line-of-sight information about a plurality of viewers on a shared screen displayed on a display device;
• calculating a degree of correlation of the line-of-sight information between the plurality of viewers;
• and
• determining whether to display line-of-sight guidance for guiding lines of sight of the plurality of viewers, based on the line-of-sight information about the plurality of viewers;
• wherein the line-of-sight information includes multiple information items about the lines of sight of the plurality of viewers,
• wherein the degree of correlation is calculated by assigning weights to the multiple information items included in the line-of-sight information, and
• wherein it is determined whether to display the line-of-sight guidance based on the degree of correlation of the multiple information items about the lines of sight of the plurality of viewers calculated by assigning the weights to the multiple information items included in the line-of-sight information.

An information processing method comprising:

• receiving line-of-sight information about a plurality of viewers on a shared screen displayed on a display device;
• determining whether to display line-of-sight guidance for guiding lines of sight of the plurality of viewers, based on the line-of-sight information about the plurality of viewers;
• and
• controlling display of the line-of-sight guidance when it is determined that the line-of-sight guidance is to be displayed,
• wherein the display device is controlled to display, as the line-of-sight guidance display, line-of-sight guidance animation from a focus point of at least one viewer of the plurality of viewers to a focus point of a presenter on the shared screen.
