[0035] Next, an example of the operation of the information distribution system 100 configured as above will be described. In this embodiment, the distributor P1 and the receiver P2 are located in remote locations relative to each other. For example, the distributor P1 is located in a position where he or she can visit a physical store that sells clothes. However, the recipient P2 is located in a remote location from the physical store, making it difficult for him or her to visit the store. In this embodiment, in such a situation, the distributor P1 goes to a physical store and selects the desired product from the receiver P2. Let us take the example of choosing clothes.

[0036] The distributor P1 and the receiver P2 are registered in the registration information storage unit 14a of the server 10, for example. The registered information storage unit 14a stores information about the person and the person's appearance. Hereinafter, the case where the registration information of the receiver P2 is stored will be described. The same explanation will be given for the case where the registration information of the distributor P1 is stored. is possible.

[0037] First, start creating an account on the server 10. For example, create a user account that can identify the recipient P2. The user identification information is inputted by an input device (not shown) of the receiving device 30. Next, the image capturing unit 35 In this case, the appearance of the recipient P2 is photographed so as to include an image of the recipient P2's face. It is also preferable to include information on the whole body of the recipient P2. It is preferable to include information taken from both the left and right sides. Physical information such as length, leg length, height, weight, waist circumference, and head circumference is input as numerical values ​​from an input device (not shown). The server 10 may input the registered avatar based on the captured image. The parameter is generated and stored in the registration information storage unit 14a in association with the user identification information. .

[0038] In this situation, the distributor P1 goes to a predetermined physical store with the distribution device 20, The receiver P2 selects clothes (items to be tried on) that he / she thinks he / she likes. The process of selecting the object is photographed by the photographing unit 25. For example, the broadcaster P1 uses the HMD 26 While wearing the HMD, the photographing unit 25 fixed to the HMD photographs the item to be tried on. The image captured by the shadow unit 25 is rearranged by the target image acquisition unit 23c of the control unit 23. The communication control unit 23b analyzes the data in real time and transmits the data to the communication unit 22 via the network NW The captured image is transmitted to the server 10 via the communication control unit 13 of the server 10. b) is transmitted from the communication unit 12 to the receiving device 30 of the receiver P2 via the network NW. do.

[0039] In the receiving device 30, the captured image is received by the communication unit 32. The communication control unit 33b The input / output control unit 33a receives the captured image and transmits the received captured image to the input / output unit 33b. The receiver P2 outputs the captured image from the display unit 36. The display unit 36 ​​displays the captured image. By viewing the captured image displayed on the display unit 36, the distributor can see the situation of the person selecting the item to try on. Can be shared with P1.

[0040] When the distributor P1 finds a try-on item C that the receiver P2 seems to like, the distributor P1 The camera 25 takes a picture of the distributor P1 while he / she is holding the camera C. At this time, the camera 25 takes a picture of the distributor P1 so that the movement of his / her hand is captured. The distributor P1 holds the try-on item C with both hands, for example, and raises it to a predetermined height. The first action is to lift the item C with the cloth and open both arms. As shown in FIG. 3, in the captured image IM1, the distributor P1 is trying on an item C The image shows hand H1 holding the object up to eye level and in an open position.

[0041] For example, the target image acquisition unit 23c detects that the hand H1 of the distributor P1 is at a predetermined height in the captured image. The person is holding the try-on object C with both hands at a high position and the distance between both hands is greater than a predetermined distance. When the target image acquisition unit 2 detects a scene in which the first action has been performed, it can be determined that the first action has been performed. 3c, when a scene in which the distributor P1 performs the first action is detected in the captured image, The target image acquisition unit 23c acquires an image of the try-on object C held by the user 1 as a target image. For example, the range of the try-on object C can be determined by image processing or the like. 3c stores the acquired target image in the target image storage unit 24a of the storage unit 24.

[0042] In addition, the broadcaster P1 may, for example, move his / her hands from a state in which he / she has spread them out by the first action to a state in which he / she brings them closer together. Then, move the object C in the opposite direction so that the back side of the object C is visible, and open your arms again. 4 and 5 show examples of images of the try-on item C. The captured image IM2 shown in FIG. 4 shows the distributor P1 trying to change the item C to try on, and 5 shows an example of a scene in which the distributor P1 tries on an item. After changing the object C, the back of the object C is turned to the front and the arms are opened again. Here is an example.

[0043] After the first action, for example, both hands of the distributor P1 move closer to each other and then move again. If the scene of moving away is detected, it can be determined that the second action has been performed. When the unit 23c detects a scene in which the distributor P1 performs the second action in the captured image, An image of the back side of the try-on item C held by the person P1 is acquired as a new target image. The acquisition unit 23c stores the acquired target image in the target image storage unit 24a of the storage unit 24.

[0044] The fitting data generating unit 23d detects that the target image has been stored in the target image storage unit 24a. In this case, the server 10 is instructed to transmit the registered avatar of the receiver P2 from the registered information of the receiver P2. In response to the request, the server 10 transmits the registered avatar of the receiver P2 to the communication unit 12. The communication unit 22 of the distribution device 20 receives the registered avatar. The control unit 23b acquires the received registered avatar.

[0045] The fitting data generating unit 23d combines the acquired registered avatar with the image stored in the target image storage unit 24a. Based on the target image, try-on data for the recipient P2 is generated. The appearance of P2 when trying on the try-on item C is displayed on the display unit 36 ​​of the receiving device 30. This is data to help us do this.

[0046] The try-on data generating unit 23d superimposes the target image on the registered avatar to generate try-on data. The avatar can be generated using the try-on data. The try-on data generating unit 23d may, for example, determine whether the front side of the registered avatar is the front side of the try-on item C. The target image showing the back of the try-on item C is superimposed on the registered avatar. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a try-on avatar. The try-on avatar shown in FIG. The target A1 superimposes a target image Q1 of the front side of the try-on object C on the front side of the registered avatar A0. The try-on avatar A2 shown in FIG. 6 is the back of the registered avatar A0. The figure shows a state in which an object image Q2 of the back side of the try-on object C is superimposed on the side. 3b transmits the generated try-on avatars A1 and A2 from the communication unit 22 via the network NW. The server 10 then transmits the try-on avatars A1 and A2 to the communication unit 12. The communication control unit 13b receives the try-on avatars A1 and A2 from the communication unit 12. The signal is transmitted to the receiving device 30 via the network NW.

[0047] The receiving device 30 receives the try-on avatar via the communication unit 32. The input / output control unit 33a receives the received try-on avatar. The input / output unit 31 outputs the image to the display unit 36. The display unit 36 ​​displays the try-on avatar. That is, the registered avatar of the recipient P2 is displayed with the target image of the try-on object C superimposed. The result is displayed on the display unit 36.

[0048] The fitting data generating unit 23d generates a registration image based on the registration avatar, and By placing the registered image in real time on the part corresponding to the target image, Figure 7 shows an example of a captured image including a registration image. The captured image IM4 shown in FIG. 7 is a photograph of the try-on item C being held by the distributor P1. The registered image IM5 is now positioned at a position corresponding to the target image Q. Communication control unit 23b transmits the captured image IM4 including the registered image IM5 from the communication unit 22 via the network NW. The server 10 then causes the communication unit 12 to transmit the captured image IM4 The communication control unit 13b receives the captured image IM4 from the communication unit 12 via the network. The received signal is transmitted to the receiving device 30 via the network.

[0049] In this case, the receiving device 30 receives the captured image IM4 via the communication unit 32. The control unit 33b acquires the received captured image IM4. The captured image IM4 is output from the input / output unit 31 to the display unit 36. By displaying the image IM4, the fitting data can be displayed. A captured image in which the registered image IM5 of the receiver P2 is arranged to correspond to the target image Q of C. The image IM4 is displayed on the display unit 36.

[0050] In this way, the receiver P2 is located in a remote location from the store where the try-on item C is sold. Even if the user does not know how the clothes look after being tried on, the user can check the fitting condition by looking at the fitting data TD displayed on the display unit 36. In addition, when a try-on avatar is generated as try-on data, the receiver P 2 allows you to check the fitting condition from any direction, front or back. When try-on data is generated as an image, the image taken by the distributor P1 is You can check how it looks when you try it on.

[0051] FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the information distribution system 100. As shown in the figure, when the distributor P1 takes a photo of the item to be tried on using the photographing unit 25 (step S101 ), the target image acquisition unit 23c adds the image of the try-on object C, etc. to the captured image captured by the image capture unit 25. It is analyzed in real time whether or not the item to be tried on is included (step S102). In S102, the target image acquisition unit 23c detects, for example, the first image by the distributor P1 in the captured image. If the object to be tried on is detected (step Step S102: Yes), and the target image acquisition unit 23c acquires a target image of the item to be tried on (Step S103: Yes). Step S103) The acquired target image is stored in the target image storage unit 24a of the storage unit 24. .

[0052] The fitting data generating unit 23d detects that the target image has been stored in the target image storage unit 24a. If so, the server 10 is requested to transmit the registered avatar (step S104). When the request in step S104 is received (step S105), the registered avatar is The communication control unit 23b transmits the information sent from the server 10 to the distribution device 20 (step S106). The fitting data generating unit 23d acquires the registered avatar to be transmitted (step S107). Based on the registered avatar and the target image stored in the target image storage unit 24a, In step S108, fitting data of the person P2 is generated (step S108). The data generating unit 23d may, for example, superimpose a target image on a registered avatar to display a try-on image. The fitting data generating unit 23d can generate an avatar. Based on the parameter, a registered image of the receiver P2 is generated, and a corresponding target image in the captured image is generated. By placing the registered image on the body part, the captured image including the registered image is generated as try-on data. The communication control unit 23b transmits the generated fitting data from the communication unit 22 to the network. The server 10 transmits the information to the server 10 via the network (step S109). The fitting data is received by the communication unit 12, and the received fitting data is transmitted to the communication unit 12 via the network. The signal is transmitted to the receiving device 30 via the network (step S110).

[0053] The receiving device 30 receives the fitting data via the communication unit 32 (step S111). The communication control unit 33b acquires the received fitting data. The input / output control unit 33a acquires The input / output unit 31 outputs the fitting data to the display unit 36. The display unit 36 ​​displays the fitting data. The data is displayed (step S112).
