Abstract

Provided an information processing device including ail image acquisition configured to acquire a captured image, a change detection unit configured to detect a change in a state of a subject in a network service recognized from the captured image, and a depiction change unit configured to change a depiction of the subject shown in the captured image in a case where the change detection unit detects the change in the state.

Claims

1. An information processing device comprising:

an image acquisition unit configured to acquire a captured image;

a change detection unit configured to detect a change in a state of a subject in a network service recognized from the captured image; and

a depiction change unit configured to change a depiction of the subject shown in the captured image in a case where the change detection unit detects the change in the state.

2. The information processing device according to claim 1, further comprising

a specification unit configured to specify a user of a portable terminal from the captured image,

wherein the depiction change unit changes the depiction of the user by emphasizing the user shown in the captured image.

3. The information processing device according to claim 2, further comprising

a display control unit configured to perform control in a manner that a display image obtained by the depiction being changed by the depiction change unit is displayed in the portable terminal.

4. The information processing device according to claim 1,

wherein, in a case where the change detection unit detects that a portable terminal of the subject logs into the network service, the depiction change unit changes the depiction of the subject shown in the captured image.

5. The information processing device according to claim 1,

wherein, in a case where the change detection unit detects that a movement of a portable terminal of the subject in the network service satisfies a predetermined condition, the depiction change unit changes the depiction of the subject shown in the captured image.

6. The information processing device according to claim 2,

wherein the depiction change unit changes a degree of emphasizing the user in accordance with a size of the user in the captured image.

7. The information processing device according to claim 6,

wherein the depiction change unit increases the degree of emphasizing the user as the size of the user in the captured image decreases.

8. The information processing device according to claim 2,

wherein, in a case where a portion of the user or an entirety of the user is hidden and shown by another object in the captured image, the depiction change unit changes a technique of emphasizing the user.

9. The information processing device according to claim 2,

wherein the depiction change unit emphasizes the user by decreasing definition of a subject other than the user in the captured image.

10. The information processing device according to claim 2,

wherein the depiction change unit emphasizes the user by emphasizing an outline of the user in the captured image.

11. The information processing device according to claim 2,

wherein the depiction change unit emphasizes the user by changing a pixel value of a subject other than the user in the captured image.

12. The information processing device according to claim 2,

wherein the depiction change unit emphasizes the user by carrying out a zoom in display of the user in the captured image.

13. The information processing device according to claim 2,

wherein the depiction change unit emphasizes the user by adding an object. at a position of the user or a position around the user in the captured image.

14. An information processing method comprising:

acquiring a captured image;

detecting a change in a state of a subject in a network service recognized from the captured image; and

changing a depiction of the subject shown in the captured image in a case where the change in the state is detected.

15. A program for causing a computer to function as an information processing device including:

an image acquisition unit configured to acquire a captured image;

a change detection unit configured to detect a change in a state of a subject in a network service recognized from the captured image; and

a depiction change unit configured to change a depiction of the subject shown in the captured image in a case where the change detection unit detects the change in the state.
