Abstract
An information processing system includes a memory portion that stores each scene of image information of a given space captured by an image capturing portion in association with positional information on an object existent in the given space, a receiving portion that receives information that specifies the object as a search request, and a search portion that searches the image information stored in the memory portion for a scene where the object is existent in a given position on the basis of the search request.
Claims12
An information processing system comprising:
- an image capturing portion that captures scenes of image information of a given space;
- an object position specifying portion, located separate from the image capturing portion in the given space, that specifies an actual spatial location of a plurality of objects including a device within the given space;
- an audio capturing portion that measures an attribute of an audible ambience in the given space, and records the audible ambience when the measured attribute meets a predetermined condition;
- a memory portion that stores each scene of image information of the given space captured by the image capturing portion while simultaneously storing and associating positional information on the plurality of objects including the device existent in the given space according to the actual spatial location of the plurality of objects including the device within the given space provided by the object position specifying portion and an operation state of the device;
- a query receiving portion equipped with a GUI (Graphical User Interface) that receives specifying information that specifies the one of the plurality of objects as a search request, wherein the GUI includes a plurality of icons that each represents one of a plurality of objects in the scene;
- wherein the query receiving portion further receives a request to indicate the position of a least one of the plurality of icons that represent objects in the scene, by dragging and dropping one of the plurality of icons to an area of the GUI that represent the given space, and, in response to receiving the position of at least one of the plurality of icons in the query receiving portion, the query receiving portion creates the search request;
- a search portion that searches the image information stored in the memory portion for the scene where the one of the plurality of objects is existent in the given position on the basis of the search request;
- and
- a display portion that displays a search result searched by the search portion.

An information processing method comprising:
- capturing scenes of image information of a given space by an image capturing portion;
- specifying an actual spatial location of a plurality of objects including a device within the given space by an object position specifying portion located separate from the image capturing portion within the given space;
- measuring an attribute of an audible ambience in the given space by an audio capturing portion,
- recording the audible ambience when the measured attribute meets a predetermined condition;
- storing, by a memory portion each scene of image information of the given space captured by the image capturing portion while simultaneously storing and associating positional information on the plurality of objects including the device existent in the given space according to the actual spatial location of the plurality of objects including the device within the given space provided by the object position specifying portion and an operation state of the device;
- receiving, by a query receiving portion equipped with a GUI, specifying information that specifies one of the plurality of objects as a search request, wherein the GUI includes a plurality of icons that each represents one of a plurality of objects in the scene;
- wherein the query receiving portion further receives a request to indicate the position of a least one of the plurality of icons that represent objects in the scene, by dragging and dropping one of the plurality of icons to an area of the GUI that represent the given space, and, in response to receiving the position of at least one of the plurality of icons in the query receiving portion, the query receiving portion creates the search request;
- searching, by a search portion, image information of the given space for the scene where the one of the plurality of objects including the device is existent in a given position on the basis of the search request, the image information of the given space being captured by the image capturing portion and simultaneously stored and associated with positional information on the plurality of objects including the device existent in the given space according to the actual spatial location of the plurality of objects including the device within the given space provided by the object position specifying portion and with an operation state of the device;
- and
- displaying, by a display portion, a search result searched by the search portion.
