VIDEO COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND VIDEO COMMUNICATION METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To build a communication environment that keeps free distance and positional relation between a user in a main base and a user in a sub base.SOLUTION: A main base device 1 comprises: means 11 for acquiring space-shape information in a main base using video obtained by imaging; means 12 for acquiring person position information in the main base using the video obtained by imaging; means 13 for calculating a position where the video of a user participating in a communication place in the main base from a sub base should be presented using the space-shape information and the person position information; means 14 for generating video by using transmitted video and presentation position information and projecting it in the main base to show it; and means 15 for using the image obtained by imaging to generate video viewed from the position of the user in the sub base, and for transmitting the generated video. A sub base device 2 comprises: means 21 for acquiring video obtained by imaging the user in the sub base, and for transmitting the acquired video to the main base device; and means 22 for presenting the video transmitted by the main base device to the user in the sub base.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
