Description

  The present invention relates to a content presentation system and a content presentation program, and more particularly to a content presentation system and a content presentation program for presenting content corresponding to a viewing-side peripheral environment to a viewer.

  Conventionally, contents such as TV programs are produced in advance at broadcast stations and recorded on a recording medium such as a VTR and are played back at a specified time or broadcast, or a program is produced like a real-time live program. While being broadcast. In either case, since the program is produced on the broadcast station side and transmitted to each viewer's receiver, means for changing the contents of the program existed only on the broadcast station side. .

  However, in recent years, an automatic program production system exists as a technique for generating a program on the spot on the viewer side (see, for example, Patent Document 1). An example of an automatic program production system is TV4U. The TV4U is a new television system that can easily produce, distribute, and watch TV programs and the like using CG (Computer Graphics) based on TVML (TV program Marking Language) and APE (Automatic Production Engine).

  Here, TVML is an object-based description language for producing a TV program, and can describe video and audio of a TV program using material data and a script (production contents, etc.). By writing a program script, software or the like that operates on a personal computer or the like can read it and immediately reproduce and view it as a television program. Furthermore, the program production engine APE was devised as a mechanism that enables program production by simply writing a simple script without knowledge of TVML.

  The program producer simply describes the script in a simpler description format than TVML, and APE interprets this simple script and generates a script by TVML with an appropriate presentation. This is read by software running on a personal computer or the like and reproduced as a television program.

  Note that the program production engine is a CG character appearing in a program or an event such as title display, camera work, or CG character operation defined in advance for each operation in the program. For example, when text data or the like from a program script representing the contents of a program is input, a TVML script necessary for automatic program generation is output based on the text data. Thus, program production can be efficiently realized by using the program production engine.

  In addition, program contents are provided mainly through a communication network such as the Internet, such as markup languages such as HTML (HyperText Markup Language) and XML (Extensible Markup Language), images, video, audio, text information, etc. Material data and the like are disclosed on a server on the Web. Therefore, the user can obtain the information by selecting and downloading desired information (program script (text), material data, APE (sequential processing type), dialogue DB, etc.).

  Also, in the TV 4U, a program script, production, and material data are transmitted as a program from the broadcast station side to the viewer side, and this is generated as a program at the time of viewing on the viewer side. Further, in the TV 4U, the viewer interrupts the program at an arbitrary timing while watching the television program, and enables direct dialogue with the program performer.

<About the present invention>
In the provision of content such as a TV program, the present invention obtains, in real time, information around the viewing environment of a viewer for a TV program based on CG included in the content, and reflects the information. And to reflect in real time in the dialogue with the performers.

  Specifically, for example, a sequential processing type APE is used as a mechanism for generating a script (TVML script) that describes the contents of a program generated using a program production engine. In addition, the sequential processing type APE is input with a description of dialogue contents (dialog script). The state around the viewing environment of the viewer is sampled in real time, and this information is used to calculate the sequential processing type APE. The contents of the dialog to be input to and the effect at the time of the dialog are generated. As a result, the dialogue contents and effects are changed in real time for the program to be output and the dialogue scene with the program performer.

  Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of a content presentation system and a content presentation program according to the present invention having the above-described features will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  In the present embodiment, a program is used as an example of content. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the above-described TVML is used as an example of a script used for generating or presenting a program. In addition, a content presentation device used as an embodiment of the present invention described below has a function of an automatic program production system (TV 4U).

<System configuration>
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of a content presentation system. A content presentation system 10 shown in FIG. 1 includes a content management server 11 and at least one content presentation device (client terminal) 12-1, 12-2,..., 12-n. Yes. Further, the content management server 11 and the content presentation device 12 are connected in a state where data can be transmitted and received via a communication network 13 such as the Internet.

  Here, the content management server 11 is a production-side device that produces a program as an example of content to be provided to a viewer based on various data such as images, video, audio, and text data stored in advance.

  For example, in the case of the above-mentioned TVML, the program produced by the content management server 11 is a program script (text) in which the contents of the entire program, contents of the program, and the like are described, a still image, a video, music (voice), A material composed of various data such as text data, an APE (sequential processing type) used for production of the program, and a dialogue database (dialogue DB) for dialogue with viewers using CG characters appearing in the program It is comprised so that it may have. These various data are managed in units of programs, for example.

  Therefore, for example, when there is a request from a certain content presentation device 12 to view a specific program, the program is stored in the storage means in which a large number of program scripts, materials, APE and other data are stored in advance. The corresponding program script, material, and APE are extracted, and the extracted data is output to the requested content presentation device 12. Thereby, a desired program can be individually provided for each viewer.

  Note that the content management server 11 may provide the content presentation device 12 with programs and the like stored in the storage means and the like at an arbitrary timing.

  On the other hand, the content presentation devices 12-1, 12-2,..., 12-n are installed on the client side (viewer side) and various types of programs related to programs transmitted from the content management server 11 through the communication network 13. Data and the like are received, a TVML script is generated based on the reception result, and the TVML Player generates a program, plays it, and presents it to the viewer.

  In addition, the content presentation device 12 can view the program being viewed when there is a state around the viewing environment of the viewer acquired while viewing a different program on each TV browser, or when there is predetermined control information from the content management server 11. The corresponding information can be viewed as a program while maintaining the production or changing the production.

  In addition, the content presentation device 12 corresponds to various sensors (peripheral environment detection means) that detect the surrounding environment such as an illuminance sensor and a temperature sensor of the room being viewed provided on the receiving side, based on the detected information. A dialogue database for generating dialogue data, and extracting an appropriate dialogue sentence from the dialogue database using information obtained by combining at least one data or a plurality of data of detection data from various sensors, Interrupt control is performed in the middle of the program, and the content of the dialogue is presented. Thereby, by acquiring one or more detected surrounding environment information, it is possible to present more appropriate information in real time according to the situation of the viewer.

  Note that the content presentation device 12 can generate, for example, a program script, material, APE, and the like necessary for program generation and playback, and sends the generated various data to the content management server 11 via the communication network 13. You can send (upload).

  In the present embodiment, for example, when switching from the program viewing mode to the interactive mode, the input to the APE is realized by switching from the program script to the interactive program script in the dialog DB. That is, in the present invention, the APE to which the effect is added is the same at the time of program generation and at the time of dialog generation. As a result, the user can directly interact with the program performers.

  According to the system configuration described above, the content management server 11 and the content presentation device 12 have a 1: n relationship, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, n: n It may be. Accordingly, a program script (text), material (still image / moving image / music), APE (sequential processing type), and dialogue DB, which can be downloaded from the content management server 11, can be downloaded from one content management server 11. Alternatively, one or more pieces of information described above may be acquired from the plurality of content management servers 11.

  Next, a functional configuration example of the content presentation device 12 according to the present invention in the above-described embodiment will be described.

<Content Presentation Device 12: Functional Configuration>
Next, the functional configuration of the content presentation device 12 will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of a functional configuration of the content presentation device according to the present embodiment. The content presentation device 12 shown in FIG. 2 includes an input unit 21, an output unit 22, a storage unit 23, a surrounding environment detection unit 24, a program script generation unit 25, a dialogue script generation unit 26, and an environment-compatible script generation. Means (environmental correspondence presentation information generating means) 27, interrupt control means 28, reproduction means 29, transmission / reception means 30, and control means 31 are provided. The program script generation unit 25 and the dialogue script generation unit 26 are content generation units that generate content.

  The input means 21 is a request for program acquisition from a user (viewer or the like), access to program data released by the content management server 11, playback of a program acquired by download or automatic distribution, etc. Accepts various input instructions such as input of information about the environment. The input means 21 includes, for example, a keyboard, a pointing device such as a mouse, a microphone for inputting instructions by voice, and the like.

  In addition, the output unit 22 displays the instruction content input by the input unit 21, the program reproduced by the reproduction unit 29, and the like. The output means 22 includes a display, a speaker, and the like.

  The storage means 23 is a program script 41, material 42, APE 43, dialogue DB 44, program 45, and surrounding environment detection result obtained from the content management server 11 and an external terminal connected by the communication network 13 or generated by the content presentation device 12. 46, personal information including user's age, gender, personality, daily schedule, etc., user information 47 including preference information, and the like are stored. The storage unit 23 can also acquire the various data described above from an external device connected to the communication network 13 or the like. The storage unit 23 is a collection of character information, image information, and other information such as a database, and is systematically configured so that the information can be searched.

  The surrounding environment detection means 24 is for the surrounding environment of the content presentation device 12 installed on the viewing side, for example, before watching, time information at the time of viewing, a predetermined time interval, time information such as day of the week, date, etc., when changing the program channel, etc. It detects based on the preset conditions. Note that the surrounding environment detection unit 24 can detect the surrounding environment regularly or irregularly based on preset conditions such as time information even after viewing.

  Here, the surrounding environment detection means 24 has at least one sensor for detecting the surrounding environment as the content presentation device 12. Specifically, the surrounding environment detection unit 24 has an illuminance sensor, for example, when detecting the brightness of a room where the content presentation device 12 is installed, and when detecting the temperature of the room or the temperature of the outside air, Each location has a temperature sensor, and when detecting humidity, it has a humidity sensor. In addition, the surrounding environment detection means 24 has a rain sensor when detecting whether it is raining in the weather at the point where the content presentation device 12 is installed, and has surrounding sounds (viewer's voice and surrounding noise). In the case of detecting a level etc., a sound recognition sensor is provided. Note that the sound recognition sensor also has a function of recognizing a sound or a real voice generated by the user's action and realizing a dialogue between the user and the CG character.

  Furthermore, the surrounding environment detection unit 24 may include an image capturing unit such as a camera for capturing the viewer. In this case, the existing face authentication process is performed on the captured image, and the result is obtained. It is possible to acquire and use information such as the distance from the screen to the viewer, whether the user is watching (whether the face is facing the screen), how many people (one or more) are watching. Note that a plurality of the above-described sensors may be installed, and the detection results from the plurality of sensors described above can be combined as necessary. Thereby, by acquiring one or more detected surrounding environment information, it is possible to present more appropriate information in real time according to the situation of the viewer.

  The surrounding environment detection unit 24 accumulates the detected information as the surrounding environment detection result 46 in the accumulation unit 23 as the surrounding environment detection result 46 or statistical detection information so far.

  The program script generation unit 25 generates a program script based on the program script 41, the material 42, and the APE 43 stored in advance in the storage unit 23. Note that the various programs generated by the program script generation means 25 may be stored as the program 45 of the storage means 23 and called at the time of reproduction.

  Further, the program script generation means 25 can generate a program script by using the generated program script using a predetermined program production engine and material data, and can generate a new program. In this case, the program script generation unit 25 causes the transmission / reception unit 30 to transmit (upload) the generated new program to the content management server 11 via the communication network 13.

  The dialogue script generation unit 26 generates a dialogue script for a CG character or the like in the program to perform a dialogue with the user based on the material 42, the APE 43, and the dialogue DB 44 stored in advance in the storage unit 23. Further, the dialogue script generated by the dialogue script generation unit 26 is reproduced as it is in real time, but can be stored in the dialogue DB 44 of the storage unit 23, for example.

  That is, the dialogue script generation means 26 receives the dialogue program script output from the dialogue DB on the broadcast station side, the additional dialogue DB prepared on the receiver side, and the program script for additional dialogue that is the output of the additional dialogue DB. Edit and generate scripts for interactive programs.

  The environment correspondence script generation means 27 as the environment correspondence presentation information generation means extracts and extracts the corresponding dialogue data from the dialogue DB 44 stored in the storage means 23 using the detection result obtained by the surrounding environment detection means 24. Generate an environment-friendly script based on the interaction information. Details of the environment-compatible script will be described later.

  The interrupt control means 28, for example, for each script on one line (for example, a command such as a certain operation or image display) while the reproduction means 29 is executing the program script generated by the program script generation means 25. Every time) or the environment script is forcibly interrupted between or in the middle of a series of scripts having a predetermined meaning, and is played back by the playback means 29. Thereby, while maintaining the contents of the program, it is possible to provide a real-time message line or message corresponding to the surrounding environment of each viewer to each corresponding viewer. The interrupt control means 28 interrupts and inserts an environment-corresponding script corresponding to the surrounding environment during the program or dialogue, and then returns to the original program or dialogue after a predetermined time has elapsed or after a response from the viewer. Continue playing.

  The reproduction unit 29 reproduces a program from each piece of program information (program script, material, APE) acquired from the content management server 11, and outputs the program by the output unit 22 to provide it to the viewer. Further, the playback unit 29 generates the contents of the program being played back as viewing information, and transmits it to the content management server 11 via the communication network 13 by the transmission / reception unit 30.

  For example, a TVML player (TVMLPlayer) or the like can be used as the reproducing means 29. The TVML player is software that reads a program script described in TVML and outputs program video and audio to a browser in real time. The TVML player can generate a studio shot by real-time CG, and can display a place where a CG character appearing in the CG studio set speaks the speech described in the TVML script with synthetic speech and acts.

  The transmission / reception unit 30 transmits information such as a program acquisition request, program information generated by the program script generation unit 25, viewing information generated by the reproduction unit 29, and the like to the content management server 11. Further, the transmission / reception means 30 receives information such as program information and interrupt control information from the content presentation server 11.

  The control means 31 controls the entire configuration of the content presentation device 12. Specifically, in addition to data input / output control and transmission / reception control, the control unit 31 detects the environment around the place where the content presentation device 12 is installed by the surrounding environment detection unit 24 using the above-described sensors or the like. The program script generating means 25 generates a program script, the dialog script generating means 26 generates a dialog script for the user, the environment corresponding script generating means 27 generates an environment corresponding script, and the interrupt control means 28 Processing such as interrupt control or playback of the program by the playback means 29 is controlled.

  With the configuration described above, the management side (content management server 11) can efficiently control one or a plurality of terminals (content presentation devices 12-1 to 12-n) on the content presentation side. In addition, the content presentation apparatus 12 mentioned above may provide the function of the content management server 11 according to a user's authority etc. Thereby, the above-described system can be realized only between the content presentation apparatuses.

<Specific examples when presenting content>
Next, a specific example of content presentation in the present embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining a specific example of content presentation in the present embodiment. FIG. 3A shows an example of content presentation at the time of program generation, and FIG. 3B shows an example of content presentation at the time of dialog generation.

  In FIG. 3A, as a mechanism of the content presentation device 12 on the receiver side, for example, an illuminance sensor is provided as the surrounding environment detection means 24, and data from the illuminance sensor is further converted into an APE script that is an APE input format. The environment corresponding script generating means 27 is provided. In addition, as an example at the time of dialog generation shown in FIG. 3B, as a mechanism of the content presentation device 12 on the receiver side, for example, a rain sensor as a surrounding environment detection unit 24 is provided, and detection information from the rain sensor is further provided. And the dialogue script (dialog program script) output from the dialogue DB on the broadcasting station side, the additional dialogue DB prepared on the receiver side, and the additional dialogue script that is the output of the additional dialogue DB. A dialogue script editing process (dialog script generation means 26) is provided.

  Note that the illuminance sensor and the rain sensor in FIGS. 3A and 3B described above are examples of means for acquiring real-time information, and when presenting the information, other environment-corresponding scripts are used. It can be inserted into the program as information such as a telop in the program, and further, the contents can be presented in an interactive manner using a CG character appearing in the program. As shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, these presentations are performed by using a TVML Player as the playback means 29 for program playback and dialog playback.

<Specific examples of real-time control>
Next, in this embodiment, the case where real-time data is used at the time of the above-described program generation will be described. FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining an example of program generation using real-time data in the present embodiment. In the example of FIG. 4, an illuminance sensor is used as real-time data using the surrounding environment detection means 24, and the illuminance of the viewer's viewing environment is measured in real time. In the example shown in FIG. 4, it is assumed that the viewing environment is dark.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the output data from the illuminance sensor is converted into a data format that can be used inside the system. Based on this data, selection of a parameter for determining the illumination intensity of the lighting in the program and how to speak when a program performer such as a CG character speaks the speech is determined.

  In the example shown in FIG. 4, “lighting down” is selected for lighting and “slow” is selected for talking. When this is converted into an APE script (light = “0.2”, tone = “relaxed”) and input as a lighting parameter to a sequential processing type APE, the APE immediately sets the illuminance in the program from the input APE script. TVML script (light: name = light1, r = 0.4, g = 0.4, b = 0.4), and a TVML script that sets the tone of the performer's chat (character: talk ( name = CharacterA, text = “***”, rate = “0.7”, pitch = “0.7”)), and this is transmitted to the TVML Player as the playback means.

  Thereby, in TVMLPlayer, it is possible to present a program with special effects such as those in the same space by changing the illumination intensity of the illumination in the program according to the brightness of the actual viewer's room. . Through the above processing, the program generated from the brightness around the viewing environment of the viewer can be changed in real time.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining a specific example of processing after detecting the surrounding environment. In FIG. 5, numerical data output in real time from the illuminance sensor is normalized by performing data conversion.

  Here, when setting the lighting in the program, if the normalized numerical data is used as it is, the video generated when the value is too small becomes too dark. Therefore, in this embodiment, the lower limit is set to 0.4, All numerical data below that is 0.4. Based on this conversion condition, an APE script necessary for setting illumination is generated.

  Next, by inputting the generated APE script to the sequential processing type APE, the sequential processing type APE interprets the APE script and generates an APE script for lighting setting. By inputting this into the TVML Player, the lighting in the program can be changed in real time (in the example of FIG. 5, light: model (name = **, type = **, r = 0.4, g = 0.4, b = 0.4)).

  Further, the change of the tone that the performer speaks is determined by which type of normalized numeric data is included among the tone types classified by numeric data in advance as shown in FIG. In the example of FIG. 5, “relaxed” is selected when “0.0 ≦ numerical data ≦ 0.4”, “middle” is selected when “0.4 <numerical data ≦ 0.7”, In the case of “0.7 <numerical data ≦ 1.0”, when three levels of tone types for selecting “smart” are accumulated, the numerical data obtained from the illuminance sensor is 0 in the example shown in FIG. .4, “Relaxed” is selected as the talking tone.

  In addition, an APE script for setting a talk tone is generated using parameter values corresponding to previously stored tones (in the example of FIG. 6, pitch = 0.7, rate = 0.7), and this is sequentially processed. A TVML script having a chat parameter that matches “Relaxed” can be generated and played by inputting it to the type APE (in the example of FIG. 5, character: talk (name = characterA, text = “**”, pitch) = 0.7, rate = 0.7)).

  Therefore, the illuminance in the program and how the performers talk can be changed and presented in real time in accordance with the actual illuminance of the viewer's room by the illuminance sensor.

  Next, FIG. 6 is a figure for demonstrating the example of presentation of real-time data at the time of dialog production | generation. FIG. 6 shows an example in which rainfall data is used as detection data by the surrounding environment detection means 24. That is, in the example of FIG. 6, a rain sensor is installed around the viewer's viewing environment (outdoors) as the surrounding environment detection means 24.

  The raw data from the rain sensor is converted into usable data after being detected by the surrounding environment detection means 24. In addition, the surrounding environment detection unit 24 evaluates the rainfall (light rain, heavy rain, etc.) using the converted rain data. Moreover, the environment corresponding | compatible script production | generation means 27 selects the additional dialogue script according to the degree of rain from the additional rainfall DB using the rainfall evaluation result, and inputs this to a sequential processing type APE with a dialogue script. As a result, it is possible to generate not only a normal dialogue but also a dialogue according to the situation around the viewing environment of the viewer in real time.

  Here, FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining a specific example of presentation at the time of generating a dialog. FIG. 7A shows a specific flow of interactive processing corresponding to the output data obtained from the rain sensor as the surrounding environment, and FIG. 7B shows the processing shown in FIG. An example of a dialog to be played is shown.

  As described above, during dialog generation, a dialog script (APE script) is acquired from the dialog DB, and input to the APE in the same manner as when generating a program, thereby generating a dialog scene. The example of FIG. 7 shows a situation where the performer is explaining after the viewer inquires about olive oil. Here, a rain sensor is installed as the surrounding environment detection means 24 outside the viewing environment on the viewing side, and rain is detected by the sensor.

  The surrounding environment detection unit 24 determines a rain evaluation value from preset rain evaluation parameters (extremely light rain, light rain, light rain, rain, heavy rain) from output data from the rain sensor, and generates a dialogue scene corresponding to the evaluation. Then, that effect is presented by interrupt control. For example, if it is determined that the rainfall evaluation is light rain, the viewer is notified that it has been raining during the explanation of olive oil. Specifically, for example, a program script that speaks “Is the laundry safe?” Is acquired from the additional dialogue DB in association with the rain. Further, the interrupt control means 28 can present information on the surrounding environment during the dialogue as shown in FIG. 7B by interrupting and processing this in the middle of the dialogue content. As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to generate and present a conversation scene based on real-time information corresponding to the surrounding environment when the conversation scene is generated.

  Also, a plurality of detection results from the sensors that can be installed as the surrounding environment detection means 24 described above can be combined to present corresponding surrounding environment information.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to present the viewer with content corresponding to the viewing-side peripheral environment. Specifically, when viewing a program, it is possible to view a program that looks different for each viewer according to the viewing environment. Further, the viewing peripheral environment can be taken in as data, and an optimal program can be generated in real time by the viewer.

  Moreover, according to this embodiment, information other than the information relevant to a program can be obtained in the same mechanism through dialogue with performers. Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, personal events and information useful for each viewer can be integrated and presented in the operation mode of program viewing.

<Execution program>
Here, the content presentation system described above includes a CPU, a volatile storage medium such as a RAM, a non-volatile storage medium such as a ROM, an input device such as a mouse, a keyboard, and a pointing device, a display unit that displays images and data, In addition, it can be configured by a computer having an interface for communicating with the outside.

  Therefore, the input means 21, the output means 22, the storage means 23, the surrounding environment detection means 24, the program script generation means 25, the dialogue script generation means 26, the environment corresponding script generation means 27, the interrupt control means 28, which the content presentation system has. Each function in the reproduction unit 29, the transmission / reception unit 30, and the control unit 31 can be realized by causing the CPU to execute a program describing these functions. These programs can also be stored and distributed in a recording medium such as a magnetic disk (floppy disk, hard disk, etc.), optical disk (CD-ROM, DVD, etc.), semiconductor memory, or the like.

  That is, an execution program (content presentation program) for causing a computer to execute the processing in each configuration described above is generated, and the content presentation processing is realized by installing the program in, for example, a general-purpose personal computer or server. be able to.

  Next, the processing procedure by the execution program in the present invention will be described with reference to the flowchart of content presentation processing in the content presentation system. In the following description of processing, a program is used as an example of content, and a program script is used as a production target. However, the type of content in the present invention is not limited to this.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a content presentation processing procedure in the present embodiment. In FIG. 8, first, a program is reproduced (S01), and it is determined whether information related to the surrounding environment is detected (S02). Here, when information related to the surrounding environment is detected (YES in S02), it is determined whether the program is being reproduced or is in dialogue. Specifically, for example, it is determined whether or not the program is being reproduced (S03). If the program is being reproduced (YES in S03), an environment-compatible script for the program is generated (S04), and interrupt control is performed. Thus, the environment-compatible script is inserted into the program to reproduce it (S05).

  In the process of S03, if the program is not being played back (NO in S03), it is determined that the conversation is in progress, and a dialog corresponding to the detection result is extracted from the dialog DB (S06), and the environment-compatible script for dialog is used. Is generated (S07), and the environment-compatible script is inserted during the dialogue by the interrupt control, so that the reproduction is performed (S08).

  Here, after the process of S05 or S08 is completed, the original program or dialogue is returned after a lapse of a predetermined time or after a response from the viewer (S09). Further, when the surrounding environment is not detected in the process of S02 (NO in S02), or after the process of S09 is finished, it is determined whether or not the program is finished, and the program is not finished (in S10, NO), return to S02 and perform the subsequent processing. In the process of S10, when the program is finished (YES in S10), the content presentation process is finished.

  Thus, by installing the execution program in the computer, the content corresponding to the viewing-side peripheral environment can be presented to the viewer, and the content presentation in the present embodiment can be easily realized.

  As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to present a content corresponding to the viewing-side peripheral environment to the viewer. Specifically, when viewing a program, it is possible to view content that is different for each viewer according to the viewing environment. In addition, it is possible to capture the viewing peripheral environment as data and generate optimal content in real time by the viewer.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, information other than information related to content can be obtained in the same mechanism through dialogue with performers. Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, personal events and information useful for each viewer can be integrated and presented in the operation mode of viewing content.

  Although the preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail above, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiment, and various modifications, within the scope of the gist of the present invention described in the claims, It can be changed.
