INFORMATION-PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION-PROCESSING METHODS, RECORDING MEDIUMS, AND PROGRAMS
First Claim
1. An information-processing apparatus for communicating with an other information-processing apparatus, which is connected to said information-processing apparatus by a network, said information-processing apparatus comprising:
- a reproducer configured to reproduce moving video content data common to said information-processing apparatus and said other information-processing apparatus synchronously with said other information-processing apparatus;
an input unit configured to input first user condition information including a voice and image of a user operating said information-processing apparatus;
a receiver configured to receive second user condition information including a voice and image of an other user from said other information-processing apparatus operated by said other user;
a synthesizer configured to synthesize a voice and image of said moving video content data synchronously reproduced by said reproducer with said voice and image of said other user received by said receiver by superimposing the voice and image onto the moving video content data, the synthesizer creating a single moving image including both the voice and image of the moving video content data and the voice and image of the other user such that the image of the moving video content data extends within an area and at least part of the image of the other user is included within the area of the image of the moving video content data;
a display configured to simultaneously display said voice and image of said content data synthesized with said voice and image of said other user;
an analyzer configured to analyze at least either said first user condition information input by said input unit or said second user condition information received by said receiver; and
a parameter setting unit configured to set a control parameter used for controlling a process, which is carried out by said synthesizer to synthesize voices and images on the basis of an analysis result produced by said analyzer.

Abstract
An information-processing apparatus including a reproducer for synchronously reproducing content data common to another information-processing apparatus, a user information input for inputting first user condition information including a voice and image of a user, a user information receiver for receiving second user condition information including a voice and image of an other user from the other information-processing apparatus, a synthesizer for synthesizing a voice and image of the content data synchronously reproduced by the reproducer with the voice and image of the second user condition information received by the user-information receiver; an information analysis unit for analyzing at least either the first user condition information input or the second user condition information; and a parameter-setting unit for setting a control parameter used for controlling a process on the basis of an analysis result produced by the information analysis unit.

16. An information-processing method adopted by an information-processing apparatus as a method for communicating with an other information-processing apparatus, which is connected to said information-processing apparatus by a network, said information-processing method comprising:
-
reproducing moving video content data common to said information-processing apparatus and said other information-processing apparatus synchronously with said other information-processing apparatus; inputting first user condition information including a voice and image of a user operating said information-processing apparatus; receiving second user condition information including a voice and image of an other user from said other information-processing apparatus operated by said other user; synthesizing a voice and image of said moving video content data synchronously reproduced at said reproducing with said voice and image of said other user received at said receiving by superimposing the voice and image onto the moving video content data, the synthesizing including creating a single image including both the voice and image of the moving video content data and the voice and image of the other user such that the image of the content data extends within an area and at least part of the image of the other user is included within the area of the image of the moving video content data; simultaneously displaying said voice and image of said moving video content data synthesized with said voice and image of said other user; analyzing at least either said first user condition information input at said inputting or said second user condition information received at said receiving; and setting a control parameter used for controlling said synthesizing on the basis of an analysis result produced at said analyzing.

17. A recording medium for recording a program to be executed by a computer to perform a method for communicating with an information-processing apparatus, which is connected to said computer by a network, said method comprising:
-
reproducing content data common to said information-processing apparatus and said other information-processing apparatus synchronously with said other information-processing apparatus; inputting first user condition information including a voice and image of a user operating said information-processing apparatus; receiving second user condition information including a voice and image of an other user from said other information-processing apparatus operated by said other user; synthesizing a voice and image of said moving video content data synchronously reproduced at said reproducing with said voice and image of said other user received at said receiving by superimposing the voice and image onto the moving video content data, the synthesizing including creating a single image including both the voice and image of the moving video content data and the voice and image of the other user such that the image of the content data extends within an area and at least part of the image of the other user is included within the area of the image of the moving video content data; simultaneously displaying said voice and image of said moving video content data synthesized with said voice and image of said other user; analyzing at least either said first user condition information input at said inputting or said second user condition information received at said receiving; and setting a control parameter used for controlling said synthesizing on the basis of an analysis result produced at said analyzing.
