Information processing apparatus, projection system, and information processing method

摘要

An information processing apparatus includes: a control-permission/denial storage unit that stores therein permission/denial information as to whether or not execution of respective control actions in response to a predetermined motions made by users is permitted to roles of the users; a motion detecting unit that detects a predetermined motion from images captured by an image capturing device; and a control-permission/denial determining unit that determines whether or not execution of a control action in response to a predetermined motion made by a user and detected by the motion detecting unit is permitted to a role of the user based on the control-permission/denial storage unit.

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
a memory that stores therein permission/denial information as to whether or not execution of respective control actions in response to a predetermined motions made by users is permitted to the roles of the users for each of a plurality of stages of progress of a conference for which the information processing apparatus is utilized; and circuitry configured to: detect a predetermined motion from images captured by an image capturing device; and determine whether or not execution of a control action in response to a predetermined motion made by a user and detected by the circuitry is permitted to a role of the user at a current stage of progress of the conference based on the permission/denial information stored in the memory, wherein when the circuitry determines that execution of the control action in response to a predetermined motion made by a user is permitted, the circuitry executes the control action, the memory further stores therein priority levels in terms of execution of the respective control actions as assigned to the roles, the priority levels varying depending on a stage of progress of the conference for which the information processing apparatus is utilized, and the circuitry measures time elapsed since a preceding control action is executed, when the circuitry determines that execution of a current control action in response to a predetermined motion is permitted and the elapsed time measured by the circuitry has not reached a predetermined value, the circuitry compares a first priority level, for a current stage of progress of the conference assigned to a role of a first user that made predetermined motion to which the execution of the current control action is determined as being permitted, to a second priority level for the current stage of progress of the conference assigned to a role of a second user that made a predetermined motion, in response to which the preceding control action is executed by the circuitry, and the circuitry executes the current control action when a result of comparison by the circuitry is that the first priority level is higher than the second priority level assigned to the role of the second user, and the circuitry does not execute the current control action when a result of comparison by the circuitry is that the first priority level assigned to the role of the first user is not higher than the second priority level assigned to the role of the second user, and when the circuitry determines that execution of the current control action in response to a predetermined motion is permitted and the elapsed time measured by the circuitry has already reached the predetermined value, the circuitry executes the current control action in response to the predetermined motion made by the first user.
