Display apparatus and display method

摘要

A display apparatus includes a sight line detection unit that detects a line of sight of a user by analyzing user video information, an enhancement processing unit that detects an intersection point of the line of sight of the user detected by the sight line detection unit and a video display surface of a monitor as an attention point, which is a point on which the user focuses attention, and performs enhancement processing for the monitor by setting a higher gain amount in stages from a position of a longer distance from the attention point toward a position of a smaller distance, and a display video output control unit that outputs video via the monitor based on the gain amount set by the enhancement processing unit and display video information whose input is received by a display video information input unit.

1. An apparatus comprising:
a user video information input unit that receives input of user video information, which is acquired by a camera and video information of a user watching video displayed in a monitor; a sight line detection unit that detects a line of sight of the user by analyzing the user video information whose input is received by the user video information input unit; and an enhancement processing unit that detects an intersection point of the line of sight of the user detected by the sight line detection unit and a video display surface of the monitor as an attention point and performs enhancement processing for the monitor by setting a higher gain amount in stages from a position of a longer distance from the attention point toward a position of a smaller distance, wherein said enhancement processing unit obtains a respective attention point for each detected user of a number of users detected as currently watching the video displayed in the monitor and performs the enhancement processing with regard thereto to obtain a respective gain amount for said each detected user and superimposes gain amounts for all detected users by adding together each said respective gain amount to obtain a superimposed gain amount which is utilized, with display video information that is a source of the video displayed in the monitor, for outputting video via the monitor, wherein when the superimposed gain amount obtained by the enhancement processing unit exceeds a predetermined amount, the superimposed gain amount is reduced.
