Abstract

An image and motion corresponding to the image are presented in response to a request issued by an user. The user transmits image data from a terminal to a motion data generating apparatus. The motion data generating apparatus generates motion data from the received image data. The motion data generating apparatus transmits the generated motion data together with the image data, in a mutually related fashion, to an image / motion control apparatus. The motion data generating apparatus also transmits ID data assigned to the image data and the motion data to the terminal. The image / motion control apparatus stores the received data. When the image / motion control apparatus receives ID data input by a user via an image / motion presenting apparatus, the image / motion control apparatus reads image data and motion data corresponding to the received ID data and transmits the image data and the motion data to the image / motion presenting apparatus. The image / motion presenting apparatus presents an image in accordance with the received image data and also presents motion in accordance with the motion data.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, an information processing system, and a storage medium, and more particularly, to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, an information processing system, and a storage medium, suitable for presenting to a user an image and motion corresponding to the image or suitable for presenting motion corresponding to an image selected by an user. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004] An apparatus is known in which a chair on which an audience sits is moved in synchronization with a displayed image the audience is watching thereby presenting a realistic feeling to the audience. The chair is moved in accordance with motion data generated from data which was output from a sensor for detecting an angle, such as an acceleration sensor, when the image was taken. In some cases, the motion ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

Enables the presentation of a wider range of images and motions to users by simplifying data generation and synchronization, allowing for more flexible and user-centric experience delivery while managing fees and data sharing efficiently.

Problems solved by technology

However, in this technique in which motion data is generated from data acquired using a sensor when an image is taken, complicated processing is needed to acquire the data.

Furthermore, because the image and the data from which the motion data is generated should be synchronized with each other when motion is presented to an audience, it is difficult to acquire a plurality of sets of an image and corresponding motion data.

As a result, images and motions which can be practically presented are limited.

Even in the case where an image and motion can be selected from a plurality of sets, the number of sets is limited, and thus it is impossible to present an image and motion which can sufficiently satisfy users.
