Abstract

There is provided an information processing apparatus including a data acquiring unit configured to acquire content to which metadata is attached and the metadata attached to the content, the metadata being generated from data obtained from a sensor mounted on a subject, and a display control unit configured to reflect contents of the metadata acquired by the data acquiring unit in display of the content to which the metadata acquired by the data acquiring unit is attached.

Claims

1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having embodied thereon a program, which when executed by a computer causes the computer to execute a method, the method comprising:

receiving content associated with metadata and the metadata which is generated from data obtained from a sensor mounted on a subject while performing one or more contacting strikes of a sports movement; and

controlling a display of the received metadata and the received content,

wherein the metadata includes information related to an impact,

wherein the content includes an image of an impact position,

wherein the image of the impact position is controlled to be changed in color according to the information related to the impact,

wherein the content further includes a depiction of a degree of proximity of the impact position to a sweet spot for each time the one or more contacting strikes of the sports movement is performed and an image of sports equipment, and

wherein the image of the impact position and the depiction of the degree of proximity of the impact position to the sweet spot are displayed to overlap on the image of the sports equipment simultaneously.

2. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 1,

wherein the information related to the impact is generated from data obtained from at least one of a gyro sensor and an acceleration sensor.

3. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 1,

wherein the metadata is generated from the data obtained from the sensor mounted on at least one of a tennis racket, a golf club, a baseball bat, a cricket bat, or shoes worn by a person.

4. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 1,

wherein the content includes a name of the subject.

5. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 1,

wherein the content includes a time at which the data was obtained.

6. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 1,

wherein the color is changed according to a possibility of hitting at the impact position.

7. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 1,

wherein the degree of proximity of the impact position to the sweet spot and the sweet spot are simultaneously depicted in the display of the received content.

8. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 1,

wherein the display of the received metadata includes information of a swing trajectory and a swing speed for each time the one or more contacting strikes of the sports movement is performed.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 1,

wherein the display of the received metadata and a part of the display of the received content are prevented from overlapping each other.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 1,

wherein the metadata includes a shot type, and

wherein the shot type is generated from the data obtained from the sensor mounted on the subject.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 10,

wherein the information related to the impact includes the impact position and the shot type.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 1,

wherein the information related to the impact includes the impact position according to impact time for each time the one or more contacting strikes of the sports movement is performed.

13. An information processing apparatus comprising:

circuitry configured to

receive content associated with metadata and the metadata which is generated from data obtained from a sensor mounted on a subject while performing one or more contacting strikes of a sports movement, and

control a display of the received metadata and the received content,

wherein the metadata includes information related to an impact,

wherein the content includes an image of an impact position,

wherein the image of the impact position is controlled to be changed in color according to the information related to the impact,

wherein the content further includes a depiction of a degree of proximity of the impact position to a sweet spot for each time the one or more contacting strikes of the sports movement is performed and an image of sports equipment, and

wherein the image of the impact position and the depiction of the degree of proximity of the impact position to the sweet spot are displayed to overlap on the image of the sports equipment simultaneously.

14. An information processing method comprising:

receiving content associated with metadata and the metadata which is generated from data obtained from a sensor mounted on a subject while performing one or more contacting strikes of a sports movement; and

controlling a display of the received metadata and the received content,

wherein the metadata includes information related to an impact,

wherein the content includes an image of an impact position,

wherein the image of the impact position is controlled to be changed in color according to the information related to the impact,

wherein the content further includes a depiction of a degree of proximity of the impact position to a sweet spot for each time the one or more contacting strikes of the sports movement is performed and an image of sports equipment, and

wherein the image of the impact position and the depiction of the degree of proximity of the impact position to the sweet spot are displayed to overlap on the image of the sports equipment simultaneously.
