Abstract

There is provided a display control system including a plurality of display units, an imaging unit configured to capture a subject, a predictor configured to predict an action of the subject according to a captured image captured by the imaging unit, a guide image generator configured to generate a guide image that guides the subject according to a prediction result from the predictor, and a display controller configured to, on the basis of the prediction result from the predictor, select a display unit capable of displaying an image at a position corresponding to the subject from the plurality of display units, and to control the selected display unit to display the guide image at the position corresponding to the subject.

Claims

1. (canceled)

2. A display control system comprising:

a display controller configured to control to display a guide image that guides a subject to a first goal; and

an action history information acquirer configured to acquire a recognized reaction of the subject to the displayed guide image based on a sensor as the action history information,

wherein the display controller is further configured to display an updated guide image to guide the subject to an updated goal which is different from the first goal so as to provide an interactive guide arrangement which enables a goal to be updated based on the recognized reaction of the subject.

3. The display control system according to claim 2, further comprising:

an imaging unit configured to capture an image of the subject.

4. The display control system according to claim 2, wherein the display controller is configured to control the display of the guide image at a position according to a physical characteristic of the subject.

5. The display control system according to claim 2, wherein the guide image is configured according a physical characteristic of the subject.

6. The display control system according to claim 5, wherein

the physical characteristic of the subject is a height of the subject, and

the display controller is configured to display a large guide image in proportion to the height of the subject.

7. The display control system according to claim 5, wherein

the physical characteristic of the subject is a height of the subject, and

the display controller is configured to control display of the guide image at a position distanced in proportion to the height of the subject.

8. The display control system according to claim 2, wherein

the display controller is configured to control display of the guide image at a position distanced in proportion to a movement speed of the subject.

9. The display control system according to claim 2, wherein

the display controller, in a case in which another person is present near the subject, is configured to control display of the guide image for the subject distinguishably from another guide image displayed for the other person.

10. The display control system according to claim 2, wherein the guide image includes a guide display to a goal of the subject indicated by a prediction result.

11. The display control system according to claim 2, further comprising:

circuitry configured to learn an action pattern of the subject from the action history information and predict a reaction of the subject based on the action pattern.

12. The display control system according to claim 11, wherein the guide image includes a display suggesting an action to the subject according to a prediction reaction based on the action pattern.

13. The display control system according to claim 2, wherein the recognized reaction of the subject is based on walking of the subject.

14. The display control system according to claim 2, wherein the recognized reaction of the subject is based on stopping of the subject.

15. The display control system according to claim 2, wherein the recognized reaction of the subject is based on a hand gesture of the subject.

16. The display control system according to claim 2, wherein the recognized reaction of the subject is based on a path selection of the subject.

17. A display control method comprising:

controlling display of a guide image that guides a subject to a first goal;

acquiring a recognized reaction of the subject to the displayed guide image based on a sensor as the action history information; and

controlling display of an updated guide image to guide the subject to an updated goal which is different from the first goal so as to provide an interactive guide arrangement which enables a goal to be updated based on the recognized reaction of the subject.

18. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium configured to store a program, the program causing a computer to execute:

controlling display of a guide image that guides a subject to a first goal;

acquiring a recognized reaction of the subject to the displayed guide image based on a sensor as the action history information; and

controlling display of an updated guide image to guide the subject to an updated goal which is different from the first goal so as to provide an interactive guide arrangement which enables a goal to be updated based on the recognized reaction of the subject.
