[0035] Next, an example of the operation of the information distribution system 100 configured as described above will be explained. In this implementation configuration, the sender P1 and receiver P2 are located in different locations relative to one. For example, streamer P1 is located in a place where they can go to a physical store that sells clothes. Furthermore, recipient P2 is located in a remote area, making it difficult for them to visit the physical store. In a situation like this, in this embodiment, the distributor P1 goes to a physical store and the recipient P2 chooses Let's take the example of choosing clothes to explain.

[0036] The sender P1 and receiver P2 are registered, for example, in the registration information storage unit 14a of the server 10. The information is stored, and they know each other's appearance. Here, the registered information storage unit 14a This section explains how to store registration information. Below, we will explain how to store the registration information of recipient P2. I will use the example of "combined," but the same explanation applies when storing the registration information of streamer P1. This is possible.

[0037] First, begin creating an account on server 10. For example, create an account that can identify recipient P2. The receiving device 30 inputs the user identification information via an input device (not shown). Next, the imaging unit 35 receives the user identification information. Next, capture a picture of recipient P2's appearance. In this case, include an image of recipient P2's face. Furthermore, it is preferable to include information about the entire body of receiver P2. Also, the front and back of receiver P2, It is preferable to include information captured from both the left and right sides. Is it an input device (not shown) that takes body information such as length, leg length, height, weight, waist circumference, and head circumference as numerical values? It is also acceptable to enter the information separately. Server 10 registers the avatar based on the captured image. A user is generated and stored in the registration information storage unit 14a, associated with the user identification information. .

[0038] In this situation, the broadcaster P1 goes to a designated physical store carrying the broadcasting device 20, Select clothing (items to try on) that recipient P2 would likely like. At this time, broadcaster P1 tries on the clothes. The camera unit 25 films the process of selecting an object. For example, broadcaster P1 selects an HMD 26 While wearing the HMD, the camera unit 25 fixed to the HMD takes a picture of the item being tried on. The captured image taken by the shadow unit 25 is rear-viewed by the target image acquisition unit 23c of the control unit 23. The data is analyzed in real time, and the communication control unit 23b receives the data from the communication unit 22 to the network NW The captured image is transmitted to the server 10 via the communication control unit 13 of the server 10. b transmits from the communication unit 12 to the receiving device 30 of the receiver P2 via the network NW. ru.

[0039] In the receiving device 30, the communication unit 32 receives the captured image. The communication control unit 33b receives The captured image is acquired. The input / output control unit 33a receives the acquired captured image from the input / output unit 3 Output from 1 to display unit 36. Display unit 36 ​​displays the captured image. Receiver P2 displays By viewing the captured images displayed on the display unit 36, the broadcaster can see the situation of the person selecting the item to try on. It can be shared with P1.

[0040] If broadcaster P1 finds an item C that recipient P2 might like, then broadcaster P1 will send the item C to the recipient P2. The camera unit 25 will capture a photo while holding C. At this time, the hand movements of the streamer P1 will be captured. To do so. The streamer P1, for example, holds the item to be tried on C with both hands and moves it to a predetermined height position. Then, lift it up and perform the first movement of spreading both arms. Figure 3 shows the captured image of the item C to be tried on. An example is shown. As shown in Figure 3, the captured image IM1 shows the broadcaster P1 trying on the item C. The image shows hand H1 holding the object, which has been raised to eye level and spread open.

[0041] The target image acquisition unit 23c detects, for example, the hand H1 of the broadcaster P1 in the captured image from a predetermined height. The object to be tried on C is held in a high position, and the distance between both hands is greater than a predetermined distance. When a scene is detected, it can be determined that the first action has been performed. Target image acquisition unit 2 3c If a scene is detected in the captured image in which broadcaster P1 performs the above first action, broadcaster P The image of the fitting object C held by 1 is acquired as the target image. The target image acquisition unit 23c, For example, the range of the try-on object C can be determined by image processing, etc. Target image acquisition unit 2 3c stores the acquired target image in the target image storage unit 24a of the storage unit 24.

[0042] Also, streamer P1, for example, moves from having both arms outstretched in the first movement to bringing both arms closer together. Move it to the side, change your grip on item C so that the back of item C is visible, and spread your arms wide again. Perform the second action. Figures 4 and 5 show examples of images taken of the fitting object C. The captured image IM2 shown in Figure 4 shows the broadcaster P1 attempting to switch hands on the item C being tried on. This is an example of a scene where a hand is brought close. Also, the captured image IM3 shown in Figure 5 shows the broadcaster P1 trying it on. After switching hands on object C, the scene shows the back of object C being tried on facing forward, with both hands spread out again. This is just one example.

[0043] The target image acquisition unit 23c, after the first operation, for example, when both hands of the broadcaster P1 come closer together again If a separation is detected, it can be determined that a second action has been performed. Target image acquisition. When unit 23c detects a scene in the captured image in which the broadcaster P1 performs the second operation described above, it broadcasts A new image of the back of the try-on object C, held by person P1, is acquired as the target image. 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 generation unit 23d detects that the target image has been stored in the target image storage unit 24a. If this happens, send the registered avatar from the recipient P2's registration information to server 10. The server 10 requests the registered avatar of the recipient P2 from the communication unit 12. The device transmits from [location]. The communication unit 22 of the distribution device 20 receives the transmitted registered avatar. The control unit 23b acquires the received registered avatar.

[0045] The fitting data generation unit 23d generates the acquired registered avatar and the target image stored in the target image storage unit 24a. Based on the selected target image, try-on data for recipient P2 is generated. The try-on data is then sent to the recipient The appearance of P2 when trying on the item C is displayed on the display unit 36 ​​of the receiving device 30. This is data for that purpose.

[0046] The fitting data generation unit 23d superimposes the target image onto the registered avatar, thereby enabling fitting. It is possible to generate an avatar. This try-on avatar is created using try-on data as an avatar. Yes. The fitting data generation unit 23d generates, for example, the front of the fitting object C on the front side of the registered avatar. The target image showing the object is superimposed, and the back of the item to be tried on, C, is shown on the back side of the registered avatar. The elephant image is superimposed. Figure 6 shows an example of a try-on avatar. Try-on avatar shown in Figure 6 Array A1 superimposes the front view image Q1 of the try-on object C onto the front view of the registered avatar A0. This shows the state in which it is worn. Also, the try-on avatar A2 shown in Figure 6 is the back of the registered avatar A0. The image on the side shows the target image Q2 of the back side of the item C to be tried on superimposed. Communication Control Unit 2 3b transmits the generated try-on avatars A1 and A2 from the communication unit 22 via the network NW. The data is sent to server 10. Server 10 receives the trial avatars A1 and A2 in the communication unit 12. The communication control unit 13b receives the received trial avatars A1 and A2 from the communication unit 12. It 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. (Communication control unit 33b) The input / output control unit 33a receives the received try-on avatar. The input / output unit 31 outputs to the display unit 36. The display unit 36 ​​displays the fitting avatar. In other words, the registered avatar of recipient P2 is displayed with the target image of the try-on item C superimposed on it. It is displayed in the display unit 36.

[0048] Furthermore, the fitting data generation unit 23d generates a registered image based on the registered avatar, and the captured image By placing the registered image in real time on the part corresponding to the target image, the captured image This allows for the generation of fitting data. Figure 7 shows an example of a captured image including a registered image. This is a diagram. The captured image IM4 shown in Figure 7 is of the try-on object C being held by the broadcaster P1. The registered image IM5 is positioned at the location 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 image IM4 is then sent to the server 10. The server 10 receives the captured image IM4 in the communication unit 12. The communication control unit 13b receives the captured image IM4 from the communication unit 12 via the network. It 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 input / output control unit 33a acquires... The captured image IM4 is output from the input / output unit 31 to the display unit 36. The display unit 36 ​​displays the captured image. By displaying image IM4, try-on data can be displayed. In other words, the try-on items A captured image showing the registered image IM5 of receiver P2 positioned to correspond to the target image Q of C. Image IM4 is displayed on the display unit 36.

[0050] Thus, recipient P2 is located in a remote location relative to the store where the try-on item C is sold. Even in this case, by looking at the fitting data TD displayed on the display unit 36, the fitting condition can be confirmed. It can be recognized. Also, if a try-on avatar is generated as try-on data, recipient P Option 2 allows you to check the fit from either the front or back. When fitting data is generated as an image, the images taken by streamer P1 are captured in real time. You can check the fit while looking at it.

[0051] Figure 8 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the operation of the information distribution system 100. As shown above, when the broadcaster P1 photographs the item to be tried on using the camera unit 25 (step S101 ), the target image acquisition unit 23c captures the image taken by the shooting unit 25 and the object to be tried on C etc. The system analyzes in real time whether or not the items to be tried on are included (step S102). In S102, the target image acquisition unit 23c, for example, in the captured image, the broadcaster P1 The analysis checks whether the scenes of the first and second actions are included. If an object to be tried on is detected (Ste If the answer to step S102 is Yes, the target image acquisition unit 23c acquires the target image of the item to be tried on (S Step S103) The acquired target image is stored in the target image storage unit 24a of the storage unit 24. .

[0052] The fitting data generation unit 23d detects that the target image has been stored in the target image storage unit 24a. If so, request that the server 10 send the registered avatar (step S104). If step 10 receives the request in step S104 (step S105), then register the avatar. The data is sent to the distribution device 20 (step S106). The communication control unit 23b receives the data from the server 10. Obtain the registered avatar to be trusted (step S107). The fitting data generation unit 23d takes Based on the acquired registered avatar and the target image stored in the target image storage unit 24a, Try-on data for person P2 is generated (step S108). In step S108, try-on The data generation unit 23d, for example, superimposes the target image onto the registered avatar, allowing for a virtual try-on. It can generate avatars. In addition, the fitting data generation unit 23d generates the acquired registered avatars. Based on the data, a registered image for recipient P2 is generated, and the corresponding image in the captured image corresponds to the target image. By placing registered images on specific body parts, the system generates fitting data using the captured images, including the registered images. The communication control unit 23b can send the generated fitting data from the communication unit 22 to the network. The data is sent to server 10 via the network (step S109). Server 10 has a communication unit The system receives the fitting data via unit 12, and transmits the received fitting data from the communication unit 12 to the network. The data 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 fitting data is output from the input / output unit 31 to the display unit 36. The display unit 36 ​​displays the fitting data Display the data (step S112).

[0054] As described above, the distribution device 20 according to this embodiment uses the try-on object C as a specific target object. The shooting unit 25 takes a picture of the captured image IM, and the shooting unit 25 takes a picture of the object C to be tried on from the captured image IM. The target image acquisition unit 23c acquires image Q, and the registered avatar and try on based on the target image Q. It includes a fitting data generation unit 23d that generates data TD.

[0055] Furthermore, the information generation method according to this embodiment includes photographing the fitting object C as a specific object. The process involves taking an image (IM) and selecting a target image (Q) of the try-on item C from the captured image IM. This involves obtaining the registered avatar and generating fitting data TD based on the obtained target image Q. This includes generating.

[0056] Furthermore, the information generation program according to this embodiment includes the fitting object C as a specific object. The process involves capturing a photographic image (IM) and selecting the target object C from the captured photographic image (IM). The process involves obtaining image Q, registering an avatar, and creating try-on data based on the obtained target image Q. The computer is made to perform the process of generating TD.

[0057] According to the above configuration, the distribution device 20 receives the registered avatar of recipient P2 and the item to be tried on. Since try-on data can be generated using the target image, it can be sent to recipient P2 other than yourself. In contrast, it becomes possible to try on the items to be tried on.

[0058] In the distribution device 20 according to this embodiment, the fitting data generation unit 23d generates fitting data for the registered avatar. In contrast, by superimposing the target image Q, the try-on data TD, which is the try-on avatar, is obtained. Generate a tar. This provides the try-on data TD as an avatar to the recipient P2. It is possible.

[0059] In the distribution device 20 according to this embodiment, the fitting data generation unit 23d generates fitting data for the registered avatar. Based on this, a registration image is generated, and the registration image is applied to the part of the target image Q contained in the captured image IM. By arranging the elements, fitting data TD is generated as the captured image IM. By sending a shadow image IM, the fitting data TD can be provided to the recipient P2.

[0060] In the distribution device 20 according to this embodiment, the target image acquisition unit 23c grasps the try-on object C. Based on the arm movements of the streamer P1 who is holding the camera, the target image Q is acquired. The target image Q can be reliably acquired according to the actions of believer P1.
