Abstract

There is provided an information processing system. A recognition unit recognizes a user near a display device that displays information. An acquiring unit acquires information of an interest level with respect to each theme of the user who is recognized by the recognition unit. A display control unit controls the display device to highlight the information on the theme according to the interest level corresponding to the theme.

Claims

1. An information processing system, comprising:

a recognition unit that recognizes a plurality of users near a display device that displays information;

an acquiring unit that acquires information of an interest level of the plurality of users recognized by the recognition unit with respect to a first content or first keyword relating to the first content and a second content or second keyword relating to the second content; and

a display control unit that controls the display device to display the information on the first content or the first keyword in a highlighted manner relative to the second content or the second keyword when a number of users having the interest level with respect to the first content or the first keyword equal to or greater than a threshold is greater than a number of users having the interest level with respect to the second content or the second keyword equal to or greater than the threshold.

2. The information processing system according to claim 1, wherein the display control unit controls a display position on the display device of the information on the first content or the first keyword according to positions of the plurality of users, when the plurality of users commonly have the interest level with respect to the first content or the first keyword equal to or greater than the threshold.

3. The information processing system according to claim 1, wherein, when a sender of the information on the first content, the first keyword, the second content, or the second keyword displayed on the display device is in a facility installed with the display device, or when the sender is scheduled to come to the facility, the display device is controlled to enlarge a display area for the information.

4. The information processing system according to claim 1, further comprising a driving mechanism that, when a display area for the information on the first content or the first keyword is displayed in the highlighted manner relative to the second content or the second keyword on the display device, issues a notification through vibrations to the users among the plurality of users recognized by the recognition unit who have the interest level equal to or greater than the threshold with respect to the first content or the first keyword.

5. The information processing system according to claim 1, further comprising:

a driving mechanism that, when the information on the first content or the first keyword is displayed in the highlighted manner relative to the second content or the second keyword on the display device, issues a notification through vibrations to a sender of the information on the first content or the first keyword.

6. The information processing system according to claim 1, further comprising a light-emitting mechanism that, when the information on the first content or the first keyword is displayed in the highlighted manner relative to the second content or the second keyword on the display device, issues a notification through light emission to the users among the plurality of users recognized by the recognition unit who have the interest level equal to or greater than the threshold with respect to the first content or the first keyword.

7. The information processing system according to claim 1, further comprising a communication unit that, when the information on the first content or the first keyword is displayed in the highlighted manner relative to the second content or the second keyword on the display device, issues a notification to a sender of the information on the first content or the first keyword.

8. The information processing system according to claim 1, wherein the display control unit controls the display device to display the information on the first content or the first keyword in a highlighted manner relative to the second content or the second keyword by enlarging a display area for the information on the first content or the first keyword.
