Abstract

An information registration device includes an object information acquiring unit and a content information registering unit. The object information acquiring unit acquires object information obtained by performing processing for detecting and identifying an object for image data. The content information registering unit registers target content information in a database in association with the object information.

controlling an order in which the plurality of pieces of target content information are presented on a display based on a priority determined for each of the plurality of pieces of target content information,

wherein the priority for each of the plurality of pieces of target content information is determined based on at least the relative position information regarding the relative position of the camera with respect to the object.

4. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 3, wherein the object information includes meta-information on the object as well as object identification information.

5. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 4, wherein the meta-information includes at least one of positional information on the object and attitude information on the object.

6. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 3, further comprising:

acquiring user identification information obtained by processing for detecting and identifying a user; and

registering the plurality of pieces of target content information in the database in association with the object information and the user identification information.

9. An information registration system comprising:

a database; and

a processor configured to;

acquire image data;

acquire object information by performing processing for detecting and identifying an object for the image data;

acquire relative position information regarding a relative position of a camera with respect to the object;

input a plurality of pieces of target content information in the database;

register the plurality of pieces of target content information in the database in association with the object information; and

control an order in which the plurality of pieces of target content information are presented on a display based on a priority determined for each of the plurality of pieces of target content information,

wherein the priority for each of the plurality of pieces of target content information is determined based on at least the relative position information regarding the relative position of the camera with respect to the object.

10. An information presentation device comprising:

a processor configured to;

acquire object information obtained by performing processing for detecting and identifying an object for image data;

acquire relative position information regarding a relative position of a camera with respect to the object;

acquire a plurality of pieces of content information associated with the object information and present the acquired plurality of pieces of content information; and

control an order in which the plurality of pieces of content information are presented on a display based on a priority determined for each of the plurality of pieces of content information,

wherein the priority for each of the plurality of pieces of content information is determined based on at least the relative position information regarding the relative position of the camera with respect to the object.
