First, Embodiment 1 of the present disclosure will be described. 1 is a block diagram of an information processing system according to a first embodiment; FIG. The information processing system 1 shown in FIG. 1 is used by a user who has purchased a ticket for a predetermined event held at a predetermined event site to participate in the event in a simulated manner. The information processing system 1 may be configured by, for example, a computer or server having a communication function. In the following description, the term "computer" may include server devices, blades, and cloud computing systems.
　所定のイベント会場は、複数の観客席を有する施設であって、例えばスタジアム、コンサートホール、劇場等である。所定のイベントは例えばスポーツの試合、コンサート、演劇等である。イベントに擬似的に参加するとは、イベント会場に行かずに、ユーザが購入したチケットに対応する座席にユーザの画像を表示すること等を指す。情報処理システム１は主な構成として、座席情報取得部１１０、ユーザデータ取得部１２０、観客データ生成部１３０および出力部１４０を有している。 Predetermined event venues are facilities with multiple audience seats, such as stadiums, concert halls, and theaters. Predetermined events are, for example, sports games, concerts, plays, and the like. Pseudo-participation in an event refers to displaying a user's image in a seat corresponding to a ticket purchased by the user without going to the event site. The information processing system 1 has a seat information acquisition unit 110, a user data acquisition unit 120, an audience data generation unit 130, and an output unit 140 as main components.
　座席情報取得部１１０は、座席情報を取得する。座席情報は、イベントに参加するユーザが購入した座席のチケットに関するものであって、購入証明情報と、イベント会場の座席位置情報とを含む。座席情報取得部１１０は例えば、イベントのイベント情報を管理するシステムからこの座席情報を取得する。 The seat information acquisition unit 110 acquires seat information. The seat information relates to tickets for seats purchased by users participating in the event, and includes purchase proof information and seat position information at the event site. The seat information acquisition unit 110 acquires this seat information from, for example, a system that manages event information of events.
　購入証明情報は、イベント会場における所定の座席の使用権を購入したことを証明する情報である。座席の使用権とはすなわちそのイベントにおいてその座席に着座する権利ということもできる。ただし本開示における座席の使用権は、その座席に着座することに限られず、その座席を使用してそのイベントに擬似的に参加することも含む。イベントに擬似的に参加するとは例えば、後述のように、その座席にユーザの画像を表示することを含む。 The purchase proof information is information that proves that you have purchased the right to use the designated seats at the event venue. The right to use a seat can also be said to be the right to sit in that seat at the event. However, the right to use a seat in the present disclosure is not limited to sitting on the seat, and includes pseudo-participation in the event using the seat. Pseudo-participation in an event includes, for example, displaying a user's image on the seat as described later.
　イベント会場の座席位置情報は、ユーザが購入したチケットに対応する座席の位置を示す情報である。購入証明情報と座席位置情報とは互いに対応する。すなわちユーザが購入した１つの座席にかかるチケットに対応する座席情報は、１つの購入証明情報と、これに対応する１つの座席位置情報とを含む。尚、以下の説明において、座席位置情報は単に位置情報と称する場合がある。 The seat position information at the event venue is information that indicates the position of the seat corresponding to the ticket purchased by the user. The proof-of-purchase information and the seat position information correspond to each other. That is, the seat information corresponding to the ticket for one seat purchased by the user includes one purchase certificate information and one corresponding seat position information. In the following description, seat position information may be simply referred to as position information.
　ユーザデータ取得部１２０は、ユーザデータを取得する。ユーザデータは、認証データと、ユーザ画像とを含む。ユーザデータ取得部１２０は例えばこのユーザデータを、ユーザが管理するユーザシステムから取得する。 The user data acquisition unit 120 acquires user data.

　認証データは、ユーザを認証するためのデータである。認証データは例えばユーザの固有識別子である。より具体的には認証データは例えば、ユーザがイベントのチケットを購入する際に用いたシステムに登録したユーザＩＤ（identification, identifier）である。 　Authentication data is data for authenticating the user. Authentication data is, for example, a user's unique identifier. More specifically, the authentication data is, for example, a user ID (identification, identifier) registered in the system used by the user when purchasing event tickets.
　ユーザ画像は、ユーザの身体を含む画像である。ユーザ画像は例えばユーザが所定のカメラによりユーザ自信を撮影するものである。ユーザ画像は、ＪＰＥＧ等の規格に準拠した静止画であってもよいし、Ｈ．２６４等の規格に準拠した動画であってもよい。 A user image is an image that includes the user's body. A user image is, for example, an image of the user himself taken by a predetermined camera. The user image may be a still image conforming to standards such as JPEG, or may be a still image conforming to the H.264 standard. 264 or other standards may be used.
　観客データ生成部１３０は、観客データを生成する。観客データは、イベント会場において、ユーザが購入したチケットに対応する座席に表示するユーザの画像を含むデータである。観客データは、座席位置情報とこれに対応するユーザ画像とを含む。 The spectator data generation unit 130 generates spectator data. The spectator data is data including an image of the user to be displayed on the seat corresponding to the ticket purchased by the user at the event site. The spectator data includes seat position information and corresponding user images.
　観客データ生成部１３０は、座席情報に含まれる購入証明情報と、ユーザデータに含まれる認証データとを照合し、対応する座席情報とユーザデータとの組み合わせを検索する。さらに観客データ生成部１３０は、対応する座席情報とユーザデータとを検出すると、座席情報から座席位置情報を抽出し、ユーザデータからユーザ画像を抽出し、これらを対応づけることにより観客データを生成する。 The spectator data generation unit 130 collates the purchase certificate information included in the seat information with the authentication data included in the user data, and searches for a combination of the corresponding seat information and user data. Further, when the spectator data generation unit 130 detects the corresponding seat information and user data, the spectator data generation unit 130 extracts the seat position information from the seat information, extracts the user image from the user data, and generates the spectator data by associating them. .
　出力部１４０は、観客データ生成部１３０が生成した観客データをイベント会場に設けられた所定のイベント会場システムに出力する。イベント会場が有するイベント会場システムは、イベント会場において、情報処理システム１から受け取った観客データを処理し、ユーザに対応した座席に所定の観客画像を表示する。 The output unit 140 outputs the spectator data generated by the spectator data generation unit 130 to a predetermined event venue system provided at the event venue. The event site system of the event site processes the spectator data received from the information processing system 1 at the event site, and displays a predetermined spectator image on the seat corresponding to the user.
　図２を参照して、情報処理システム１が実行する処理について説明する。図２は、実施形態１にかかる情報処理方法を示すフローチャートである。 The processing executed by the information processing system 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a flow chart showing an information processing method according to the first embodiment.

　（会場システム３０１）
　次に、図７を参照して会場システム３０１について説明する。図７は、実施形態２にかかる会場システム３０１のブロック図である。会場システム３０１はイベント会場Ｇ３０に設けられたシステムである。会場システム３０１は主な構成として、通信装置３２０、制御装置３３０、記憶装置３４０、ルータ３５０および表示装置３５１を有する。 (Venue system 301)
Next, the venue system 301 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 7 is a block diagram of the venue system 301 according to the second embodiment. The venue system 301 is a system provided at the event venue G30. The venue system 301 has a communication device 320, a control device 330, a storage device 340, a router 350 and a display device 351 as main components.
　通信装置３２０は、会場システム３０１がネットワークＮ１に接続するためのインタフェースである。制御装置３３０は、会場システム３０１が有する各構成を制御するための演算装置である。制御装置３３０は、通信装置３２０を介して情報処理システム１２から供給される観客データを、適宜表示装置３５１に表示させる。 The communication device 320 is an interface for connecting the venue system 301 to the network N1. The control device 330 is an arithmetic device for controlling each configuration of the venue system 301 . The control device 330 causes the display device 351 to appropriately display the spectator data supplied from the information processing system 12 via the communication device 320 .
　記憶装置３４０は、不揮発性メモリを含む記憶装置であって、観客データを表示するために必要な座席位置情報を少なくとも記憶している。ルータ３５０は、通信装置３２０および制御装置３３０と連携し、情報処理システム１２から供給される観客データを表示装置３５１に供給する。なお、図７には１つの表示装置３５１を示したが、イベント会場Ｇ３０に配置される表示装置３５１は複数であってもよい。この場合に、ルータ３５０は複数の表示装置３５１に対してそれぞれ異なる観客データを供給する。 The storage device 340 is a storage device including a non-volatile memory, and stores at least seat position information necessary for displaying spectator data. The router 350 cooperates with the communication device 320 and the control device 330 to supply spectator data supplied from the information processing system 12 to the display device 351 . Although one display device 351 is shown in FIG. 7, a plurality of display devices 351 may be arranged in the event site G30. In this case, the router 350 supplies different spectator data to the plurality of display devices 351, respectively.
　表示装置３５１は観客データを表示するための装置である。上述したように、表示装置３５１は座席ごとに設置されるものであってもよいし、複数の座席に対して同時に複数の人物の画像を表示するものであってもよい。 The display device 351 is a device for displaying spectator data. As described above, the display device 351 may be installed for each seat, or may display images of a plurality of persons on a plurality of seats at the same time.
　次に、図８を参照して本実施形態にかかる情報処理方法について説明する。図８は、実施形態２にかかる情報処理方法を示すフローチャートである。 Next, the information processing method according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 8 is a flow chart showing an information processing method according to the second embodiment.
　まず、座席情報取得部１１０は、イベント会場における座席使用権を購入したユーザの購入証明情報と、購入証明情報に対応する座席の位置情報と、を含む座席情報を取得する（ステップＳ２１）。座席情報取得部１１０は、取得した座席情報を記憶部１６０に記憶させる。 First, the seat information acquisition unit 110 acquires seat information including the purchase certificate information of the user who purchased the right to use the seat at the event venue and the seat position information corresponding to the purchase certificate information (step S21). The seat information acquisition unit 110 causes the storage unit 160 to store the acquired seat information.
　次に、ユーザデータ取得部１２０は、ユーザを認証するための認証データを取得する（ステップＳ２２）。ユーザデータ取得部１２０は認証データを観客データ生成部１３０に供給する。 Next, the user data acquisition unit 120 acquires authentication data for authenticating the user (step S22). The user data acquisition unit 120 supplies authentication data to the spectator data generation unit 130 .
　次に、観客データ生成部１３０はユーザデータ取得部１２０から受け取った認証データを用いてユーザの認証を行う（ステップＳ２３）。本実施形態にかかる観客データ生成部１３０は、購入証明情報と認証データとを照合することにより認証を行う。 Next, the spectator data generation unit 130 authenticates the user using the authentication data received from the user data acquisition unit 120 (step S23). The spectator data generation unit 130 according to the present embodiment performs authentication by comparing purchase certificate information and authentication data.
　次に、観客データ生成部１３０は認証が成功したか否かを判定する（ステップＳ２４）。購入証明情報と認証データとが対応している場合、観客データ生成部１３０は、認証が成功したと判定し（ステップＳ２４：ＹＥＳ）、ステップＳ２５に進む。一方、購入証明情報と認証データとが対応していない場合、観客データ生成部１３０は、認証が成功したと判定せず（ステップＳ２４：ＮＯ）、ステップＳ２８に進む。 Next, the spectator data generation unit 130 determines whether or not the authentication has succeeded (step S24). If the purchase certificate information and the authentication data correspond, the spectator data generation unit 130 determines that the authentication has succeeded (step S24: YES), and proceeds to step S25. On the other hand, if the purchase certificate information and the authentication data do not correspond, the spectator data generator 130 does not determine that the authentication has succeeded (step S24: NO), and proceeds to step S28.
　ステップＳ２５において、ユーザデータ取得部１２０はユーザ画像データを取得し（ステップＳ２５）、さらに観客データ生成部１３０は、ユーザ画像データから観客データを生成する（ステップＳ２６）。観客データ生成部１３０は生成した観客データを出力部１４０に供給する。そして出力部１４０は、受け取った観客データを会場システム３０１に出力する（ステップＳ２７）。この場合に、情報処理システム１２は、観客データを出力すると、一連の処理を終了する。 In step S25, the user data acquisition unit 120 acquires user image data (step S25), and the audience data generation unit 130 generates audience data from the user image data (step S26). The spectator data generation unit 130 supplies the generated spectator data to the output unit 140 . The output unit 140 then outputs the received spectator data to the hall system 301 (step S27). In this case, the information processing system 12 ends the series of processes after outputting the spectator data.
　ステップＳ２８において、情報処理システム１２は、ユーザＰ１に認証が失敗したことを示すエラーメッセージを通知する（ステップＳ２８）。この場合に、情報処理システム１２はエラーメッセージを通知すると、一連の処理を終了する。 In step S28, the information processing system 12 notifies the user P1 of an error message indicating that authentication has failed (step S28). In this case, the information processing system 12 terminates the series of processes after notifying the error message.
　次に、図９を参照して座席情報について説明する。図９は、座席情報を示す図である。図９に示す座席情報は、購入証明情報と位置情報とが対応付けて示されている。例えば購入証明情報「ＴＩＤ１０１１」は位置情報「１Ａ０１１」と対応づいている。これは、購入証明情報「ＴＩＤ１０１１」を有しているユーザが位置情報「１Ａ０１１」の座席を使用する権利を購入していることを示している。 Next, the seat information will be explained with reference to FIG. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing seat information. In the seat information shown in FIG. 9, purchase certificate information and position information are associated with each other. For example, the purchase proof information "TID1011" is associated with the location information "1A011". This indicates that the user having the purchase proof information "TID1011" has purchased the right to use the seat of the location information "1A011".
　同様に、例えば購入証明情報「ＴＩＤ１０１２」は位置情報「１Ａ０１２」と紐づいており、購入証明情報「ＴＩＤ１０１３」は位置情報「１Ａ０１３」と紐づいていることが、図９には示されている。このように、座席情報は、１つの購入証明情報と１つの位置情報とが対応付けられている。これにより、購入証明情報に紐づいたユーザが、イベント会場Ｇ３０における座席のそれぞれを使用できる。 Similarly, FIG. 9 shows that, for example, proof of purchase information "TID1012" is associated with location information "1A012", and proof of purchase information "TID1013" is associated with location information "1A013". . In this way, the seat information is associated with one piece of purchase proof information and one piece of position information. As a result, the user associated with the purchase certificate information can use each seat in the event site G30.
　次に、図１０を参照してユーザデータの例について説明する。図１０は、ユーザＰ１が有するユーザデータを示す図である。ユーザデータは、認証データとユーザ画像とが対応づいている。具体的には、図１０に示すユーザデーは、認証データ「ＴＩＤ１０１２」とユーザ画像Ｐ１１とを含む。 Next, an example of user data will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 10 is a diagram showing user data owned by user P1. In the user data, authentication data and user images are associated with each other. Specifically, the user data shown in FIG. 10 includes authentication data "TID1012" and a user image P11.
　認証データは、ユーザＰ１が購入したチケットに対応する座席の使用権に対応するものである。１つの認証データは、１つの購入証明情報に対応している。ユーザ画像Ｐ１１は、所定の静止画データまたは動画データの規格に準拠したデータ群である。なお、図１０に示したユーザ画像Ｐ１１はデータ群を理解容易に示しているものである。実際のユーザ画像に関するデータは例えば、ヘッダ、ペイロードおよびフッタが並んだデータ配列であって、ペイロードには所定の画像サイズにおけるそれぞれの画素に対応した画素値を含む。 The authentication data corresponds to the right to use the seat corresponding to the ticket purchased by user P1. One piece of authentication data corresponds to one piece of purchase proof information. The user image P11 is a data group conforming to a predetermined still image data or moving image data standard. Note that the user image P11 shown in FIG. 10 shows the data group for easy understanding. Data relating to an actual user image is, for example, a data array in which a header, payload and footer are arranged, and the payload contains pixel values corresponding to respective pixels in a predetermined image size.
　次に、図１１を参照して観客データの例について説明する。図１１は、図９に示した座席情報および図１０に示したユーザデータに対応した観客データを示す図である。観客データは、１つの座席の位置情報と、この位置情報に対応するユーザ画像とを含む。 Next, an example of spectator data will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 11 shows audience data corresponding to the seat information shown in FIG. 9 and the user data shown in FIG. The spectator data includes positional information of one seat and a user image corresponding to this positional information.
　図１１に示す例の場合、観客データは、位置情報「１Ａ０１２」を有する。これは図９に示した座席情報のうち購入証明情報「ＴＩＤ１０１２」に対応した位置情報である。また図１１の観客データは、ユーザ画像Ｐ１１を有する。これは図１０に示したユーザデータに含まれるものである。図１０のユーザデータは、認証データ「ＴＩＤ１０１２」であって、図９の購入証明情報「ＴＩＤ１０１２」に対応している。そこで、情報処理システム１２の観客データ生成部１３０は購入証明情報「ＴＩＤ１０１２」に対応する位置情報「１Ａ０１２」と認証データ「ＴＩＤ１０１２」に対応するユーザ画像Ｐ１１とを対応付けて観客データを生成する。 In the example shown in FIG. 11, the spectator data has position information "1A012". This is position information corresponding to the purchase certificate information "TID1012" in the seat information shown in FIG. The spectator data in FIG. 11 also has a user image P11. This is included in the user data shown in FIG. The user data in FIG. 10 is the authentication data "TID1012" and corresponds to the purchase proof information "TID1012" in FIG. Therefore, the spectator data generation unit 130 of the information processing system 12 generates spectator data by associating the location information "1A012" corresponding to the purchase proof information "TID1012" with the user image P11 corresponding to the authentication data "TID1012".
　なお、上述の例において、ユーザデータにおけるユーザ画像Ｐ１１は、観客データ生成部１３０が生成する観客データのユーザ画像Ｐ１１と同じものを示した。しかし、ユーザデータにおけるユーザ画像と、観客データ生成部１３０が生成する観客データのユーザ画像とは、同じものに限られない。 In the above example, the user image P11 in the user data is the same as the user image P11 in the audience data generated by the audience data generation unit 130. However, the user image in the user data and the user image in the spectator data generated by the spectator data generation unit 130 are not limited to the same image.
　次に、図１２を参照して、ユーザデータにおけるユーザ画像と観客データ生成部１３０が生成する観客データのユーザ画像とが異なる例について説明する。図１２は、ユーザデータと観客データとの関係を示す図である。図１２は初期ユーザ画像Ｐ１０が示されている。初期ユーザ画像Ｐ１０は、ユーザＰ１の居所Ｇ２０に設置されたカメラがユーザＰ１を撮影した画像である。初期ユーザ画像Ｐ１０は、画像サイズが会場システム３０１の観客表示装置３１０とは異なる。また初期ユーザ画像Ｐ１０は、ユーザＰ１の周囲の背景を含む。 Next, with reference to FIG. 12, an example in which the user image in the user data and the user image in the spectator data generated by the spectator data generation unit 130 are different will be described. FIG. 12 is a diagram showing the relationship between user data and audience data. FIG. 12 shows an initial user image P10. The initial user image P10 is an image of the user P1 captured by a camera installed at the location G20 of the user P1. The image size of the initial user image P10 is different from that of the spectator display device 310 of the venue system 301 . The initial user image P10 also includes a background surrounding the user P1.
　ユーザシステム２０１は、初期ユーザ画像Ｐ１０をユーザ画像として情報処理システム１２に供給する。観客データ生成部１３０は、初期ユーザ画像Ｐ１０から観客データに含むユーザ画像Ｐ１１を生成する。このとき観客データ生成部１３０は、初期ユーザ画像Ｐ１０からユーザＰ１の身体部分を検出する。また観客データ生成部１３０は、ユーザＰ１の身体が、観客表示装置３１０の画像サイズに適応するように、初期ユーザ画像Ｐ１０からユーザ画像Ｐ１１を生成する。すなわち観客データ生成部１３０は、ユーザデータに含まれるユーザの身体画像を特定し、観客データのサイズに適応するように身体画像に対して拡大、縮小および切り抜きの少なくともいずれか一つを行う。これにより、情報処理システム１２は観客表示装置３１０に好適にユーザ画像を表示させることができる。 The user system 201 supplies the initial user image P10 to the information processing system 12 as a user image. The spectator data generator 130 generates a user image P11 to be included in the spectator data from the initial user image P10. At this time, the spectator data generator 130 detects the body part of the user P1 from the initial user image P10. The spectator data generation unit 130 also generates the user image P11 from the initial user image P10 so that the body of the user P1 is adapted to the image size of the spectator display device 310 . That is, spectator data generator 130 identifies the body image of the user included in the user data, and performs at least one of enlargement, reduction, and clipping of the body image so as to fit the size of the audience data. Thereby, the information processing system 12 can suitably display the user image on the audience display device 310 .
　次に、図１３を参照して、観客表示装置３１０が複数のユーザに対応した画像を表示する例について説明する。図１３は、複数のユーザ画像を表示する例を示す図である。図１３の上側には、観客表示装置３１０が表示する表示画像Ｐ３０が示されている。図１３において説明する例の観客表示装置３１０は、会場Ｇ３０の客席に設置された複数の観客表示装置に対してユーザ画像を表示するように設定されたプロジェクタである。すなわち表示画像Ｐ３０は、観客表示装置３１０が会場Ｇ３０の所定の領域に投影する画像である。表示画像Ｐ３０は、表示可能領域内に、縦に２行、横に４列のユーザ画像表示エリアが設定されており、２×４すなわち８のユーザ画像が合成可能となっている。 Next, an example in which the audience display device 310 displays images corresponding to a plurality of users will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 13 is a diagram showing an example of displaying a plurality of user images. A display image P30 displayed by the audience display device 310 is shown on the upper side of FIG. The spectator display device 310 of the example described in FIG. 13 is a projector set to display user images on a plurality of spectator display devices installed in the audience seats of the hall G30. That is, the display image P30 is an image projected by the audience display device 310 onto a predetermined area of the venue G30. In the display image P30, a user image display area of 2 rows vertically and 4 columns horizontally is set in the displayable area, and 2×4, that is, 8 user images can be synthesized.
　図１３に示す例では、表示画像Ｐ３０における下の行の中央部にユーザ画像Ｐ１１が合成されている。また表示画像Ｐ３０は、上の行の左右にユーザ画像Ｐ１１とは別の画像である第２ユーザ画像Ｐ１２および第３ユーザ画像Ｐ１３が合成されている。なお、表示画像Ｐ３０はユーザ画像が合成されていない領域は画像を表示しないように設定されている。図１３の表示画像Ｐ３０においてハッチングで示された領域はユーザ画像が合成されていない。 In the example shown in FIG. 13, the user image P11 is synthesized in the central portion of the lower row in the display image P30. In addition, the display image P30 has a second user image P12 and a third user image P13, which are images different from the user image P11, synthesized on the left and right of the upper row. Note that the display image P30 is set so as not to display an image in an area where the user image is not synthesized. The user image is not synthesized in the hatched area in the display image P30 of FIG.
　図１３の下側には、会場Ｇ３０において観客表示装置３１０がユーザ画像を表示する状態を示している。図１３に示す会場Ｇ３０には、観客席に、第１表示部３１１Ａ、第２表示部３１１Ｂおよび第３表示部３１１Ｃが設置されている。観客表示装置３１０は、観客席に表示画像Ｐ３０を投影している。より具体的には、観客表示装置３１０は、第１表示部３１１Ａにユーザ画像Ｐ１１を投影し、第２表示部３１１Ｂに第２ユーザ画像Ｐ１２を投影し、第３表示部３１１Ｃに第３ユーザ画像Ｐ１３を投影している。 The lower part of FIG. 13 shows the state in which the audience display device 310 displays the user image in the hall G30. In the hall G30 shown in FIG. 13, a first display section 311A, a second display section 311B and a third display section 311C are installed in the audience seats. The audience display device 310 projects a display image P30 onto the audience seats. More specifically, the audience display device 310 projects the user image P11 on the first display section 311A, projects the second user image P12 on the second display section 311B, and projects the third user image on the third display section 311C. P13 is projected.
　以上のように、観客データ生成部１３０は、複数の観客を複数の座席に同時に投影するよう設定されたプロジェクタに対して、複数の観客を含む観客データを出力する。なお、表示画像Ｐ３０は、会場システム３０１において生成されてもよい。この場合、会場システム３０１は、情報処理システム１２から受け取った観客データから、位置情報を利用して、会場Ｇ３０に設置されている観客表示装置３１０に対応した表示画像Ｐ３０を生成する。 As described above, the spectator data generation unit 130 outputs spectator data including a plurality of spectators to a projector set to simultaneously project a plurality of spectators onto a plurality of seats. Note that the display image P30 may be generated in the hall system 301. FIG. In this case, the venue system 301 uses position information from the audience data received from the information processing system 12 to generate a display image P30 corresponding to the audience display device 310 installed in the venue G30.
　以上、実施形態２について説明した。以上のように、実施形態２にかかる情報処理システム１２を利用することにより、会場Ｇ３０においてイベントの主催者、出場者等は、観客席から映像による応援を受けることが出来る。そのため、情報処理システム１２は、イベントの主催者、出場者等のモチベーションの低下を抑制できる。すなわち、実施形態２によれば、イベント会場の高揚感の低下を抑制する情報処理システム等を提供することができる。 The second embodiment has been described above. As described above, by using the information processing system 12 according to the second embodiment, the organizer of the event, contestants, etc. can receive video cheering from the audience seats at the venue G30. Therefore, the information processing system 12 can suppress a decrease in the motivation of event organizers, contestants, and the like. In other words, according to the second embodiment, it is possible to provide an information processing system or the like that suppresses a decrease in exhilaration at an event site.
　＜実施形態３＞
　次に、本開示の実施形態３について説明する。実施形態３は、イベント会場に設置されたカメラが撮影した画像をユーザＰ１に出力する点が、上述の実施形態と異なる。図１４は、実施形態３にかかる情報処理システムのブロック図である。図１４に示す情報処理システム１３は、イベントデータ取得部１５０を備える点が、上述の情報処理システムと異なる。 <Embodiment 3>
Next, Embodiment 3 of the present disclosure will be described. The third embodiment differs from the above-described embodiments in that an image captured by a camera installed at the event venue is output to the user P1. FIG. 14 is a block diagram of an information processing system according to a third embodiment; The information processing system 13 shown in FIG. 14 differs from the information processing system described above in that it includes an event data acquisition unit 150 .
　イベントデータ取得部１５０は、イベント会場における座席に対応したカメラが撮影した画像を少なくとも含むイベントデータを取得する。すなわちイベントデータは、ユーザＰ１の座席に対応した画像データを含む。なお、イベントデータは、画像データに加えて、イベント会場において収音した音声にかかる音声データを含んでもよい。この場合、音声データはユーザＰ１の座席に対応したものであってもよい。また音声データは、ユーザＰ１の座席に対応したものでなくてもよい。さらに上述のイベントデータは、ユーザＰ１の座席に対応したものと、ユーザＰ１の座席に対応しないものとを選択できるように構成されていてもよい。 The event data acquisition unit 150 acquires event data including at least images captured by cameras corresponding to seats in the event venue. That is, the event data includes image data corresponding to the seat of user P1. In addition to image data, the event data may include audio data relating to audio picked up at the event site. In this case, the voice data may correspond to the seat of user P1. Also, the voice data may not correspond to the seat of the user P1. Furthermore, the above-mentioned event data may be configured to allow selection of data corresponding to the seat of the user P1 and data not corresponding to the seat of the user P1.
　本実施形態にかかる出力部１４０は、イベントデータ取得部１５０が上述のイベントデータを取得すると、それぞれの座席に対応するユーザシステムにイベントデータを出力する。これにより情報処理システム１３は、それぞれのユーザに対応したイベントデータを好適に出力する。すなわち情報処理システム１３はイベント会場の高揚感の低下を抑制するとともに、離れた場所から参加するユーザに対して臨場感の高いデータを提供できる。 When the event data acquisition unit 150 acquires the above event data, the output unit 140 according to this embodiment outputs the event data to the user system corresponding to each seat. Thereby, the information processing system 13 suitably outputs the event data corresponding to each user. In other words, the information processing system 13 can suppress the drop in the exhilaration of the event site and can provide data with a high sense of presence to users participating from remote locations.
　次に、図１５を参照して本実施形態にかかる会場システムについて説明する。図１５は、実施形態３にかかる会場システム３０２のブロック図である。会場システム３０２は、イベントデータ生成装置３５２を有している。 Next, the venue system according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 15 is a block diagram of the venue system 302 according to the third embodiment. The venue system 302 has an event data generator 352 .
　イベントデータ生成装置３５２は、会場システム３０１におけるユーザの座席に対応したイベントデータを生成する。より具体的にはイベントデータ生成装置３５２はカメラを少なくとも有している。またイベントデータ生成装置３５２はルータ３５０に接続しており、ルータ３５０を介してイベントデータを出力する。イベントデータ生成装置３５２は、カメラに加えてマイクロホンを有していてもよい。これによりイベントデータ生成装置３５２は、ユーザの座席に対応した画像と音声を出力できる。 The event data generation device 352 generates event data corresponding to the user's seat in the venue system 301. More specifically, the event data generator 352 has at least a camera. Also, the event data generation device 352 is connected to the router 350 and outputs event data via the router 350 . The event data generator 352 may have a microphone in addition to the camera. As a result, the event data generation device 352 can output images and sounds corresponding to the seat of the user.
　次に、図１６を参照して情報処理システム１３が実行する処理について説明する。図１６は、実施形態３にかかる情報処理方法を示すフローチャートである。図１６に示すフローチャートは、ステップＳ３１、ステップＳ３２およびステップＳ３３を有する点が、図８に示すフローチャートと異なる。 Next, the processing executed by the information processing system 13 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 16 is a flow chart showing an information processing method according to the third embodiment. The flowchart shown in FIG. 16 differs from the flowchart shown in FIG. 8 in having steps S31, S32 and S33.
　ステップＳ２４において、観客データ生成部１３０は認証が成功したか否かを判定する（ステップＳ２４）。購入証明情報と認証データとが対応していない場合、観客データ生成部１３０は、認証が成功したと判定せず（ステップＳ２４：ＮＯ）、ステップＳ２８に進む。 In step S24, the spectator data generation unit 130 determines whether or not the authentication has succeeded (step S24). If the purchase certificate information and the authentication data do not correspond, the spectator data generation unit 130 does not determine that the authentication has succeeded (step S24: NO), and proceeds to step S28.
　購入証明情報と認証データとが対応している場合、観客データ生成部１３０は、認証が成功したと判定し（ステップＳ２４：ＹＥＳ）、ステップＳ２５およびステップＳ３１に進む。 When the purchase certificate information and the authentication data correspond, the spectator data generation unit 130 determines that the authentication has succeeded (step S24: YES), and proceeds to steps S25 and S31.
　ステップＳ３１において、イベントデータ取得部１５０は、会場システム３０２からイベントデータを取得する（ステップＳ３１）。イベントデータ取得部１５０は、取得したイベントデータを出力部１４０に供給する。なおイベントデータ取得部１５０は、取得したイベントデータに対してユーザシステム２０１のイベント画像表示部２２０に適合するように画像の拡大、縮小、切り抜き等の処理を施してもよい。 In step S31, the event data acquisition unit 150 acquires event data from the venue system 302 (step S31). The event data acquisition unit 150 supplies the acquired event data to the output unit 140 . Note that the event data acquisition unit 150 may perform image enlargement, reduction, clipping, or other processing on the acquired event data so as to fit the event image display unit 220 of the user system 201 .
　次に、イベントデータ取得部１５０が出力部１４０に対してイベントデータを供給すると、出力部１４０は受け取ったイベントデータをユーザシステム２０１に出力する（ステップＳ３２）。出力部１４０がイベントデータの出力を終えると、情報処理システム１３はステップＳ３３に進む。 Next, when the event data acquisition unit 150 supplies the event data to the output unit 140, the output unit 140 outputs the received event data to the user system 201 (step S32). After the output unit 140 finishes outputting the event data, the information processing system 13 proceeds to step S33.
　ステップＳ２５において、ユーザデータ取得部１２０はユーザ画像データを取得し（ステップＳ２５）、さらに観客データ生成部１３０は、ユーザ画像データから観客データを生成する（ステップＳ２６）。観客データ生成部１３０は生成した観客データを出力部１４０に供給する。そして出力部１４０は、受け取った観客データを会場システム３０１に出力する（ステップＳ２７）。情報処理システム１２は、観客データを出力すると、ステップＳ３３に進む。 In step S25, the user data acquisition unit 120 acquires user image data (step S25), and the audience data generation unit 130 generates audience data from the user image data (step S26). The spectator data generation unit 130 supplies the generated spectator data to the output unit 140 . The output unit 140 then outputs the received spectator data to the venue system 301 (step S27). After outputting the spectator data, the information processing system 12 proceeds to step S33.
　ステップＳ３３において、情報処理システム１３は終了可能か否かを判定する（ステップＳ３３）。すなわち、情報処理システム１３は、イベントデータの出力と観客データの出力とのいずれもが終了したか否かを判定する。イベントデータの出力と観客データの出力とのいずれもが終了したと判定しない場合（ステップＳ３３：ＮＯ）、情報処理システム１３はステップＳ３３を繰り返す。イベントデータの出力と観客データの出力とのいずれもが終了したと判定する場合（ステップＳ３３：ＹＥＳ）、情報処理システム１３は、一連の処理を終了する。 In step S33, the information processing system 13 determines whether or not it can be terminated (step S33). That is, the information processing system 13 determines whether or not both the output of the event data and the output of the spectator data have ended. If it is determined that neither the output of the event data nor the output of the spectator data is completed (step S33: NO), the information processing system 13 repeats step S33. If it is determined that both the output of the event data and the output of the spectator data have ended (step S33: YES), the information processing system 13 ends the series of processes.
　以上、情報処理システム１３が実行する情報処理方法について説明した。上述の方法によれば、情報処理システム１３は、イベント会場の高揚感の低下を抑制するとともに、離れた場所から参加するユーザに対して臨場感の高いデータを提供できる。 The information processing method executed by the information processing system 13 has been described above. According to the above-described method, the information processing system 13 can suppress a decrease in the exhilaration of the event venue and provide data with a high sense of presence to users participating from remote locations.
　次に、図１７を参照して、イベント会場に設けるイベントデータ生成装置３５２の例について説明する。図１７は、イベント会場におけるカメラの配置を示す図である。図１７は、イベント会場Ｇ３０の上面図である。イベント会場Ｇ３０はステージの正面に、複数の座席が所定の領域ごとに配置されている。例えばステージに向かって左側は領域１Ａが画定されている。また領域１Ａの右側には、領域１Ｂおよび領域１Ｃが順次画定されている。同様に、領域１Ａ、領域１Ｂおよび領域１Ｃの後方には、領域２Ａ、領域２Ｂおよび領域２Ｃが画定されている。 Next, with reference to FIG. 17, an example of the event data generation device 352 provided at the event site will be described. FIG. 17 is a diagram showing the arrangement of cameras at the event venue. FIG. 17 is a top view of the event venue G30. The event hall G30 has a plurality of seats arranged in predetermined areas in front of the stage. For example, an area 1A is defined on the left side facing the stage. Areas 1B and 1C are sequentially defined on the right side of the area 1A. Similarly, regions 2A, 2B and 2C are defined behind the regions 1A, 1B and 1C.
　またそれぞれに画定された領域には、それぞれの領域からステージを撮影するカメラが設置されている。例えば具体的には、領域１Ａにはカメラ１Ａが設置されており、領域１Ｂにはカメラ１Ｂが設置されている。 In addition, cameras are installed in each demarcated area to shoot the stage from each area. For example, specifically, the camera 1A is installed in the area 1A, and the camera 1B is installed in the area 1B.
　上述の状況において、例えばユーザＰ１が購入したチケットに対応する座席１Ａ０１２は、領域１Ａに含まれる。イベントデータ生成装置３５２としてのカメラ１Ａは、領域１Ａに対応した画像を撮影する。会場システム３０２は、カメラ１Ａから受け取った画像を、座席１Ａ０１２に対応したイベントデータとして、情報処理システム１３に供給する。これにより、情報処理システム１３のイベントデータ取得部１５０は、イベント会場Ｇ３０における複数の座席を所定の領域に画定したうえで、その領域に対応したカメラが撮影したイベントの画像に関するデータを取得する。 In the above situation, for example, seat 1A012 corresponding to the ticket purchased by user P1 is included in area 1A. Camera 1A as event data generation device 352 captures an image corresponding to area 1A. Venue system 302 supplies the image received from camera 1A to information processing system 13 as event data corresponding to seat 1A012. Thereby, the event data acquisition unit 150 of the information processing system 13 demarcates a plurality of seats in the event site G30 into a predetermined area, and then acquires data related to the image of the event captured by the camera corresponding to the area.
　次に、図１８を参照して、イベントデータ生成装置３５２の例についてさらに説明する。図１８は、イベント会場における観客データ表示装置の例を示す図である。図１８は、イベント会場Ｇ３０の座席に設けられた観客表示装置３１０を示している。図１８に示す観客表示装置３１０は主な構成として、表示部３１１、マイクロホン３１２、カメラ３１３およびスピーカ３１４を有している。 Next, an example of the event data generation device 352 will be further described with reference to FIG. FIG. 18 is a diagram showing an example of a spectator data display device at an event site. FIG. 18 shows the spectator display device 310 provided on the seat of the event hall G30. The audience display device 310 shown in FIG. 18 has a display section 311, a microphone 312, a camera 313 and a speaker 314 as main components.
　表示部３１１は、観客データとしてのユーザ画像Ｐ１１を表示する。マイクロホン３１２は、座席からイベント会場Ｇ３０の音声を収音する。カメラ３１３は、座席からステージを撮影した画像の画像データを生成する。スピーカ３１４は、居所Ｇ２０でユーザＰ１が発した音声をユーザシステム２０１から観客データとして受け取り、受け取った音声を出力する。 The display unit 311 displays a user image P11 as audience data. A microphone 312 picks up the sound of the event site G30 from the seat. A camera 313 generates image data of an image of the stage captured from the seat. The speaker 314 receives the voice uttered by the user P1 at the residence G20 from the user system 201 as spectator data, and outputs the received voice.
　上述のように、ユーザデータ取得部１２０は、ユーザの音声をさらに含むユーザデータを取得する。また観客データ生成部１３０は、ユーザの音声を含む観客データを生成する。そして、観客表示装置３１０は、観客データ生成部１３０からユーザの音声を含む観客データを受け取り出力する。このように、観客表示装置３１０に観客データを出力することにより、情報処理システム１３は、居所Ｇ２０からイベントに参加するユーザＰ１が、イベント会場Ｇ３０の座席に存在するかのような演出をすることができる。これにより、会場Ｇ３０においてイベントの主催者、出場者等は、観客席から映像による応援だけでなく、音声による声援を受けることが出来る。　 As described above, the user data acquisition unit 120 acquires user data that further includes the user's voice. The spectator data generator 130 also generates spectator data including the user's voice. Then, the audience display device 310 receives and outputs the audience data including the user's voice from the audience data generator 130 . By outputting spectator data to the spectator display device 310 in this way, the information processing system 13 can produce an effect as if the user P1, who participates in the event from the place of residence G20, is present in the seat of the event venue G30. can be done. As a result, the organizer of the event, the participants, etc. of the event at the venue G30 can receive not only video cheering but also audio cheering from the audience seats.　
　なお、上述の構成において、居所Ｇ２０のユーザＰ１は、座席１Ａ０１２において観客表示装置３１０が取得した画像および音声を視聴できるが、ユーザＰ１が視聴する画像および音声はこれに限られない。ユーザＰ１は、例えば複数のユーザ向けに共通して配信されている画像や音声を視聴してもよい。またユーザＰ１は、これの画像または音声を選択してもよいし、複数の画像や音声を同時に視聴できてもよい。以上、実施形態３について説明した。実施形態３によれば、イベント会場の高揚感の低下を抑制する情報処理システム等を提供することができる。 In the above configuration, user P1 at location G20 can view images and sounds acquired by audience display device 310 at seat 1A012, but the images and sounds viewed by user P1 are not limited to this. For example, the user P1 may view images and sounds commonly distributed to a plurality of users. Also, the user P1 may select this image or sound, or may be able to view a plurality of images or sounds at the same time. The third embodiment has been described above. According to the third embodiment, it is possible to provide an information processing system or the like that suppresses the drop in the exhilaration at the event site.
　＜実施形態４＞
　次に、実施形態４について説明する。実施形態４にかかる情報処理システム１４は、認証装置と連携する。図１９は、実施形態４にかかる情報処理システムおよび関連する構成のブロック図である。図１９に示す構成は、認証装置４００を有している。 <Embodiment 4>
Next, Embodiment 4 will be described. An information processing system 14 according to the fourth embodiment cooperates with an authentication device. FIG. 19 is a block diagram of an information processing system and related configurations according to a fourth embodiment. The configuration shown in FIG. 19 has an authentication device 400 .
　本実施形態にかかる情報処理システム１４は、ネットワークＮ１を介して認証装置４００と通信可能に接続している。情報処理システム１４は、ユーザから認証データを受けとると、受け取った認証データを認証装置４００に認証させる。 The information processing system 14 according to the present embodiment is communicably connected to the authentication device 400 via the network N1. When receiving the authentication data from the user, the information processing system 14 causes the authentication device 400 to authenticate the received authentication data.
　図２０を参照して、認証装置４００の構成について説明する。図２０は、実施形態４にかかる認証装置４００のブロック図である。認証装置４００は、後述する認証機能を有するコンピュータである。認証装置４００はユーザシステム２０１が情報処理システム１４に供給したユーザの画像から所定の特徴画像を抽出することにより人物を認証する。特徴画像は例えば顔画像である。認証装置４００は、主な構成として、認証記憶部４１０、特徴画像抽出部４２０、特徴点抽出部４３０、登録部４４０および認証部４５０を有する。 The configuration of the authentication device 400 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 20 is a block diagram of an authentication device 400 according to the fourth embodiment. The authentication device 400 is a computer having an authentication function, which will be described later. The authentication device 400 authenticates a person by extracting a predetermined feature image from the user's image supplied to the information processing system 14 by the user system 201 . A feature image is, for example, a face image. Authentication device 400 has authentication storage unit 410 , feature image extraction unit 420 , feature point extraction unit 430 , registration unit 440 and authentication unit 450 as main components.
　認証記憶部４１０は、予め登録された人物に関する人物ＩＤと、この人物の特徴データとを対応付けて記憶している。特徴画像抽出部４２０は、ユーザ画像に含まれる特徴領域を検出し、特徴点抽出部４３０に出力する。特徴点抽出部４３０は、特徴画像抽出部４２０が検出した特徴領域から特徴点を抽出し、登録部４４０に特徴点にかかるデータを出力する。特徴点にかかるデータは、抽出した特徴点の集合である。 The authentication storage unit 410 associates and stores a person ID related to a person registered in advance and the feature data of this person. Feature image extraction section 420 detects a feature region included in the user image and outputs it to feature point extraction section 430 . The feature point extraction unit 430 extracts feature points from the feature area detected by the feature image extraction unit 420 and outputs data on the feature points to the registration unit 440 . Data related to feature points is a set of extracted feature points.
　登録部４４０は、特徴データの登録に際して、人物ＩＤを新規に発行する。登録部４４０は、発行した人物ＩＤと、登録画像から抽出した特徴データと、を対応付けて認証記憶部４１０に登録する。認証部４５０は、特徴画像から抽出された特徴データと、認証記憶部４１０内の特徴データと、の照合を行う。認証部４５０は、特徴データが一致している場合、認証が成功したと判断し、特徴データが不一致の場合、認証が失敗したと判断する。認証部４５０は、認証の成否を情報処理システム１４に通知する。また、認証部４５０は、認証に成功した場合、成功した特徴データに対応付けられた人物ＩＤを特定し、特定した人物ＩＤを含む認証結果を情報処理システム１４に通知する。 The registration unit 440 newly issues a person ID when registering feature data. The registration unit 440 associates the issued person ID with the feature data extracted from the registration image and registers them in the authentication storage unit 410 . The authentication unit 450 collates the feature data extracted from the feature image with the feature data in the authentication storage unit 410 . Authentication unit 450 determines that the authentication has succeeded if the feature data match, and that the authentication has failed if the feature data do not match. The authentication unit 450 notifies the information processing system 14 of the success or failure of the authentication. Further, when the authentication is successful, the authentication unit 450 specifies the person ID associated with the successful feature data, and notifies the information processing system 14 of the authentication result including the specified person ID.
　なお、認証装置４００はユーザ画像とは異なる手段を利用して人物の認証をおこなってもよい。認証は顔画像とは異なる生体認証であってもよいし、携帯端末やＩＣカード等を用いた認証であってもよい。この場合、認証装置４００は、情報処理システム１４から認証に必要なデータを受け取る。 Note that the authentication device 400 may authenticate a person using means different from the user image. The authentication may be biometric authentication different from the face image, or may be authentication using a mobile terminal, an IC card, or the like. In this case, the authentication device 400 receives data required for authentication from the information processing system 14 .
　次に、図２１を参照して、本実施形態にかかる情報処理システム１４について説明する。図２１は、実施形態４にかかる情報処理システムのブロック図である。情報処理システム１４は、記憶部１６０に人物ＩＤを有する点が、上述の実施形態と異なる。 Next, the information processing system 14 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 21 is a block diagram of an information processing system according to a fourth embodiment; The information processing system 14 differs from the above embodiment in that the storage unit 160 has a person ID.
　記憶部１６０が記憶する人物ＩＤは、認証装置４００が記憶する人物ＩＤと共通の情報を含む。また記憶部１６０は、座席情報と人物ＩＤとを対応付けて記憶している。これにより、観客データ生成部１３０は、認証された人物ＩＤにかかるユーザが有している購入証明情報を、人物ＩＤと紐づけることができる。よって、本実施形態にかかる観客データ生成部１３０は、認証された人物ＩＤにかかるユーザの観客データを生成できる。 The person ID stored by the storage unit 160 includes information common to the person ID stored by the authentication device 400 . The storage unit 160 also stores the seat information and the person ID in association with each other. As a result, the spectator data generation unit 130 can link the purchase certificate information possessed by the user associated with the authenticated person ID with the person ID. Therefore, the spectator data generation unit 130 according to the present embodiment can generate the spectator data of the user associated with the authenticated person ID.
　図２２は、実施形態４にかかる情報処理システム１４が記憶する情報を示す図である。図１５に示すように、情報処理システム１４は、座席情報、購入証明情報および人物ＩＤをそれぞれ対応付けて記憶している。これ構成の場合、情報処理システム１４は、予め人物ＩＤを登録しておけば、購入証明情報に対応する認証データをユーザシステム２０１から受け取る必要はない。しかも顔画像等の生体認証を行う場合には、情報処理システム１４は、ユーザ画像を受け取ることにより、認証が可能となる。 FIG. 22 is a diagram showing information stored by the information processing system 14 according to the fourth embodiment. As shown in FIG. 15, the information processing system 14 stores seat information, purchase certificate information, and person ID in association with each other. In this configuration, the information processing system 14 does not need to receive the authentication data corresponding to the purchase certificate information from the user system 201 if the person ID is registered in advance. Moreover, when performing biometric authentication such as a face image, the information processing system 14 can perform authentication by receiving a user image.
　＜実施形態５＞
　次に、実施形態５について説明する。実施形態５にかかる情報処理システム１５は、観客データを生成する際の処理等が、上述の情報処理システムと異なる。図２３は、実施形態５にかかる情報処理システム１５のブロック図である。 <Embodiment 5>
Next, Embodiment 5 will be described. The information processing system 15 according to the fifth embodiment differs from the above-described information processing system in the process of generating spectator data and the like. FIG. 23 is a block diagram of the information processing system 15 according to the fifth embodiment.
　本実施形態にかかる情報処理システム１５は、記憶部１６０が不適切画像情報と代替画像情報を記憶する。不適切画像情報は、観客データとして観客表示装置３１０に表示させることが不適切な画像に関する情報を含む。代替画像情報は、観客データが適切に生成できない場合に観客データの代わりに観客表示装置３１０に表示させる画像を含む。 In the information processing system 15 according to this embodiment, the storage unit 160 stores inappropriate image information and substitute image information. The inappropriate image information includes information about an image that is inappropriate to be displayed on the audience display device 310 as audience data. The substitute image information includes an image to be displayed on the spectator display device 310 in place of the spectator data when the spectator data cannot be generated properly.
　本実施形態にかかる観客データ生成部１３０は、ユーザデータにユーザの身体画像を特定できない場合には、観客データを生成しない。また観客データ生成部１３０は、ユーザデータに所定の不適切画像を特定した場合には、観客データを生成しない。さらに、観客データ生成部１３０は、ユーザを認証した後に、観客データを生成しない場合には、代替画像を出力部１４０に出力させる。このような構成により、情報処理システム１５は、イベント会場Ｇ３０高揚感の低下を抑制できる。 The spectator data generation unit 130 according to the present embodiment does not generate spectator data when the body image of the user cannot be specified in the user data. Further, the spectator data generation unit 130 does not generate the spectator data when a predetermined inappropriate image is specified in the user data. Furthermore, after authenticating the user, the spectator data generation unit 130 causes the output unit 140 to output the substitute image if the spectator data is not generated. With such a configuration, the information processing system 15 can suppress a decrease in the exhilaration of the event venue G30.
　図２４は、実施形態５にかかる情報処理方法を示すフローチャートである。図２４に示すフローチャートは、ステップＳ２５の後の処理が図８に示すフローチャートと異なる。 FIG. 24 is a flowchart showing an information processing method according to the fifth embodiment. The flowchart shown in FIG. 24 differs from the flowchart shown in FIG. 8 in the process after step S25.
　ステップＳ２５においてユーザ画像データを取得した後に、観客データ生成部１３０は、観客データを生成可能か否か判定する（ステップＳ４１）。観客データを生成可能ではない場合とは、例えばユーザ画像データにユーザが含まれていない場合である。また観客データを生成可能ではない場合とは、例えばユーザ画像データに不適切な画像が含まれている場合である。あるいは、観客データを生成可能ではない場合とは、例えばユーザ画像データが正しく取得できなかった場合も含み得る。 After acquiring the user image data in step S25, the spectator data generation unit 130 determines whether spectator data can be generated (step S41). A case where spectator data cannot be generated is, for example, a case where the user is not included in the user image data. A case where spectator data cannot be generated is, for example, a case where an inappropriate image is included in the user image data. Alternatively, the case where spectator data cannot be generated may include, for example, the case where user image data could not be acquired correctly.
　観客データを生成可能と判定する場合（ステップＳ４１：ＹＥＳ）、観客データ生成部１３０は、ステップＳ２６に進み、観客データを生成する。一方、観客データを生成可能と判定しない場合（ステップＳ４１：ＮＯ）、観客データ生成部１３０は、ステップＳ４２に進む。 If it is determined that spectator data can be generated (step S41: YES), the spectator data generation unit 130 proceeds to step S26 to generate spectator data. On the other hand, if it is not determined that spectator data can be generated (step S41: NO), the spectator data generator 130 proceeds to step S42.
　ステップＳ４２において、出力部１４０は、生成できない観客データに代えて、代替画像データを会場システム３０１に出力する。出力部１４０が代替画像を出力すると、情報処理システム１５は一連の処理を終了する。 In step S42, the output unit 140 outputs alternative image data to the venue system 301 instead of the spectator data that cannot be generated. When the output unit 140 outputs the substitute image, the information processing system 15 ends the series of processes.
　以上、実施形態５について説明したが、実施形態５にかかる情報処理システム１５の構成は、上述の内容に限られない。情報処理システム１５は、不適切な画像が含まれる場合には、不適切な画像の領域にぼかしやモザイク処理施してもよい。 Although the fifth embodiment has been described above, the configuration of the information processing system 15 according to the fifth embodiment is not limited to the contents described above. When an inappropriate image is included, the information processing system 15 may blur or mosaic the area of the inappropriate image.
　以上、実施形態５によれば、イベント会場の高揚感の低下を抑制する情報処理システム等を提供することができる。 As described above, according to the fifth embodiment, it is possible to provide an information processing system and the like that suppresses the decrease in exhilaration at the event site.
　＜ハードウェア構成の例＞
　以下、本開示における判定装置の各機能構成がハードウェアとソフトウェアとの組み合わせで実現される場合について説明する。 <Example of hardware configuration>
A case where each functional configuration of the determination device according to the present disclosure is realized by a combination of hardware and software will be described below.

Computer 500 may be a dedicated computer designed to implement each device, or may be a general-purpose computer. The computer 500 can implement desired functions by installing a predetermined program.
　コンピュータ５００は、バス５０２、プロセッサ５０４、メモリ５０６、ストレージデバイス５０８、入出力インタフェース５１０（インタフェースはＩ／Ｆ（Interface）とも称される）およびネットワークインタフェース５１２を有する。バス５０２は、プロセッサ５０４、メモリ５０６、ストレージデバイス５０８、入出力インタフェース５１０、およびネットワークインタフェース５１２が、相互にデータを送受信するためのデータ伝送路である。ただし、プロセッサ５０４などを互いに接続する方法は、バス接続に限定されない。 The computer 500 has a bus 502 , a processor 504 , a memory 506 , a storage device 508 , an input/output interface 510 (interface is also called I/F (Interface)) and a network interface 512 . Bus 502 is a data transmission path for processor 504, memory 506, storage device 508, input/output interface 510, and network interface 512 to transmit and receive data to and from each other.

For example, the input/output interface 510 is connected to an input device such as a keyboard and an output device such as a display device.
　ネットワークインタフェース５１２は、コンピュータ５００をネットワークに接続するためのインタフェースである。 A network interface 512 is an interface for connecting the computer 500 to a network.
