Terminal, system, communication method, and recording medium storing a communication program
First Claim
1. A communication terminal for communicating with a counterpart communication terminal, the communication terminal comprising:
- a receiver to receive image data, including an eye image representing an eye of a user operating the counterpart communication terminal, from the counterpart communication terminal, the eye image representing an eye of the user being captured but not displayed at the counterpart communication terminal while the user is viewing a position on a counterpart display; and
circuitry to specify a sightline position indicating a sightline position of the user operating the counterpart communication terminal based on the received image data, generate calibration data indicating a relationship between a first area including the specified sightline position of the user and a second area including the position on the counterpart display, and adjust the specified sightline position of the user on a display at the communication terminal based on the generated calibration data.

Abstract
A communication terminal for communicating with a counterpart communication terminal includes a receiver that receives image data including an eye image of a user operating the counterpart communication terminal from the counterpart communication terminal, the eye image of the user being captured at the counterpart communication terminal while the user is viewing a predetermined position on a counterpart display, and circuitry that specifies a sightline position indicating a sightline position of the user operating the counterpart communication terminal based on the received image data, generates calibration data indicating a relationship between a first area including the specified sightline position of the user and a second area including the predetermined position on the counterpart display, and adjusts the specified sightline position of the user on a display at the communication terminal based on the generated calibration data.

12. A non-transitory recording medium which, when executed by one or more processors of a communication terminal in communication with a counterpart communication terminal, cause the processors to perform a communication method, comprising:
-
receiving image data including an eye image representing an eye of a user operating the counterpart communication terminal from the counterpart communication terminal, the eye image representing an eye of the user being captured but not displayed at the counterpart communication terminal while the user is viewing a position on a counterpart display; specifying a sightline position indicating a sightline position of the user operating the counterpart communication terminal based on the received image data; generating calibration data indicating a relationship between a first area including the specified sightline position of the user and a second area including the position on the counterpart display; and adjusting the specified sightline position of the user on a display at the communication terminal based on the generated calibration data. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14)
