INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM, NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240094980 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM, NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an information processing apparatus that facilitates dialogue between multiple users located remotely from each other. The system estimates parameters of each interlocutor based on video input, alerts users when an interlocutor's parameter falls below a threshold, and adjusts audio volume based on the user's interaction with different interlocutors.
- The information processing apparatus supports remote dialogue using dialogue apparatuses for multiple users.
- The system estimates parameters of each interlocutor based on video input during the dialogue.
- An alert is displayed on the first user's device for interlocutors whose estimated parameter is below a threshold.
- When the first user interacts with an interlocutor displayed with the alert, audio volume is adjusted accordingly.
- High volume audio is transmitted to the interlocutor's device, while low volume audio is transmitted to other interlocutors' devices.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in remote communication platforms, online meetings, virtual classrooms, and teleconferencing systems.
Problems Solved
This technology helps users identify and prioritize interactions with interlocutors based on estimated parameters, improving communication efficiency in remote dialogue scenarios.
Benefits
The system enhances user experience by providing real-time feedback on interlocutors' parameters and optimizing audio volume for effective communication.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications include video conferencing software, virtual event platforms, online education tools, and telemedicine services.
Possible Prior Art
Prior art may include existing video conferencing systems with features for adjusting audio levels based on user interactions and providing alerts for specific participants.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system ensure accurate estimation of parameters based on video input?
The patent application does not detail the specific algorithms or methods used to estimate parameters from the video input.
What is the threshold value for determining when to display an alert for an interlocutor?
The application does not specify the exact threshold value used to trigger alerts for interlocutors with parameters below a certain level.
Original Abstract Submitted
an information processing apparatus supports dialogue using dialogue apparatuses used by a plurality of users located remotely from each other. the information processing apparatus includes a controller configured to estimate, during execution of a remote dialogue, a parameter of each interlocutor with respect to a topic of the remote dialogue based on a video of each interlocutor, display an alert, on a first dialogue apparatus of a first user, indicating each interlocutor whose estimated parameter is less than a threshold, and when the first user gazes at and speaks to an interlocutor displayed with the alert among a plurality of interlocutors as second users displayed on a screen of the first dialogue apparatus, transmit first audio data with a high volume to a second dialogue apparatus of the interlocutor and transmit second audio data with a low volume to second dialogue apparatus of interlocutors other than the interlocutor.
