It is.

  As described above, the information processing apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment can provide various information processing services with the above hardware configuration.

<Screen sharing function>
The screen sharing function according to the present embodiment will be described.
In the screen sharing service providing system 1000 according to the present embodiment, between the information processing apparatus in which the same content is displayed on the screen, the information processing apparatus 100 ₁ has the operation right, the operation information corresponding to the input operation, other information The information is transmitted to the processing devices 100 _{2 to} 100 _n , and the other information processing devices 100 _{2 to} 100 _n reproduce the input operation on the transmission side on the screen according to the received operation information. The screen sharing service providing system 1000 according to the present embodiment has such a screen sharing function.

  In the conventional method, there has been a load on communication between information processing apparatuses that share a display screen and drawing processing (screen drawing processing after reception) of the information processing apparatus itself. This is because the conventional method transmits and receives image data (screen information) of a display screen reflecting an input operation between information processing apparatuses, and further has a high frequency of transmitting and receiving image data (communication frequency). This is because the amount of data transmitted and received between the information processing apparatuses is large.

  Therefore, in the conventional method, there is a concern that the time (communication time and screen drawing processing time) related to screen sharing becomes redundant and adversely affects the real-time property during screen sharing.

In view of this, in the screen sharing service providing system 1000 according to the present embodiment, display content is shared in advance between information processing apparatuses, and only operation information of input operations received by the information processing apparatuses 100 _{1 to} 100 _n is exchanged. It was a mechanism. That is, in this embodiment, instead of regularly exchanging image data with a large amount of data between information processing devices, an input operation is performed on the screen between information processing devices that share basic data to be displayed on the screen. The amount of data transmitted and received between information processing apparatuses is reduced by exchanging only the minimum data necessary for reflecting the above.

  Thereby, in the screen sharing service providing system 1000 according to the present embodiment, it is possible to share the display screen on which the input operation is reflected with a small amount of data.

The configuration and operation of the screen sharing function according to this embodiment will be described below.
FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of the screen sharing function according to the present embodiment.
As illustrated in FIG. 3, the information processing apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment includes a communication control unit 11, an operation right switching unit 21, an operation type determination unit 22, a transmission data generation unit 23, and a drawing unit 24. Yes. The screen sharing function according to the present embodiment is realized by the cooperation of these functional units between information processing apparatuses.

  The communication control unit 11 is a functional unit that controls communication between information processing apparatuses. The communication control unit 11 controls the interface device 107 and transmits / receives data between the information processing devices.

  The operation right switching unit 21 is a functional unit that switches the operation right of the shared screen between the information processing apparatuses. The operation right switching unit 21 displays a GUI (Graphical User Interface) that accepts an operation right setting instruction on the screen, and switches the operation right of the shared screen according to the received setting instruction.

  When the operation right switching unit 21 receives an operation right setting instruction, the operation right switching unit 21 validates a function of receiving an input operation (for example, “touch input function”) in the information processing apparatus 100 having the same function unit, via the communication control unit 11. The other information processing apparatus 100 is notified that the operation right is held. As a result, in the other information processing apparatus 100, the operation right switching unit 21 disables the function of accepting an input operation in the apparatus based on the notification received via the communication control unit 11. Thereby, the operation right of the shared screen is switched between the information processing apparatuses.

  In addition, the flow of data transmission between information processing apparatuses is determined by such switching of operation rights. That is, in the plurality of information processing apparatuses 100 that transmit / receive operation information, the information processing apparatus 100a that holds the operation right and transmits the operation information (hereinafter referred to as “information processing apparatus on the transmission side”) 100a and the operation right are held. The information processing apparatus 100b that receives the operation information (hereinafter referred to as “information processing apparatus on the receiving side”) 100b is determined.

  The operation type determination unit 22 is a functional unit that determines the type of input operation. The input operation includes, for example, a page feed operation and a pointer operation, and the operation information to be transmitted differs depending on the type of operation. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the type of input operation before the generation of transmission data. Since the input operation can be acquired from the input device 101 as different operation events, the operation type determination unit 22 determines the type of the input operation based on the acquired operation event.

  The operation type is not limited to the above method. For example, in the case of a software configuration in which different program codes (or modules) are executed by an input operation, the operation type determination unit 22 may determine the type of input operation based on the executed program code (or module). .

  The transmission data generation unit 23 is a functional unit that generates transmission data including operation information of input operations. The transmission data generating unit 23 generates transmission data based on operation information corresponding to the determined input operation. The transmission data generation unit 23 generates transmission data as shown in FIG. 4, for example.

FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of transmission data of operation information according to the present embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 4A, the transmission data generation unit 23 identifies a page to be displayed after page turning when the operation type determination unit 22 determines that the received input operation is a page turning operation. the page number (page identification information), and the operation information corresponding to the input operation, generates transmission data 23D ₁ including the page number (page = n). Further, as shown in FIG. 4B, the transmission data generation unit 23 determines the coordinate value corresponding to the pointer position on the screen when the operation type determination unit 22 determines that the accepted input operation is a pointer operation. (pointer position information), the operation information according to the input operation, generates transmission data 23D ₂ including coordinate values (x = a, y = b ). Note that the transmission data 23D ₁ and 23D ₂ are collectively referred to as “transmission data 23D”.

  The transmission data generation unit 23 passes the transmission data 23D generated in this way to the communication control unit 11 and instructs execution of data transmission. Thereby, only the minimum data necessary for reflecting the input operation on the screen is exchanged between the information processing apparatuses.

  The operation type determination unit 22 and the transmission data generation unit 23 function in conjunction with switching of the operation right. That is, both functional units function in the information processing apparatus 100a on the transmission side that has the operation right and the function of accepting the input operation is enabled. On the other hand, the information processing apparatus 100b on the receiving side whose function for accepting an input operation becomes invalid due to the switching of the operation right is in a function stop state.

  The drawing unit 24 is a functional unit that draws a display object on the screen. The drawing unit 24 draws a display object according to the received operation event or operation information included in the received data. The drawing unit 24 draws the display object as follows.

  In the information processing apparatus 100a on the transmission side, the drawing unit 24 draws a display object according to the operation event received by the apparatus. For example, when an input of a page turning operation is received, a page object of a page to be displayed after page turning is drawn on the screen according to the operation event. When an input of a pointer operation is received, a pointer object is drawn on the screen according to the operation event.

On the other hand, in the information processing apparatus 100b on the receiving side, the drawing unit 24 draws a display object according to the operation information included in the received data received via the communication control unit 11. For example, when receiving the transmission data 23D ₁ including page numbers, it draws a page object page number included in the received data on a screen, to screen transition. Further, when receiving the transmission data 23D ₂ including coordinate values in accordance with the coordinate values included in the received data, to draw the pointer object on the screen. Thereby, in the information processing apparatus 100b on the reception side, the input operation on the transmission side is reproduced on the screen according to the received operation information.

  As described above, the screen sharing function according to the present embodiment is realized by the above-described functional units working together. Specifically, in the screen sharing function according to the present embodiment, a screen sharing application program (software that realizes the screen sharing function) installed (installed) in the information processing apparatus 100 configuring the system 1000 is used for each information processing apparatus. This is realized by the CPU 106 (arithmetic device) included in the data being read from the storage device (for example, “HDD” or “ROM”) onto the memory (RAM) and executing the following processing.

  A detailed operation of the screen sharing function according to the present embodiment (cooperation operation of functional unit groups) will be described with reference to a sequence diagram showing a processing procedure.

《Main processing when providing screen sharing service》
FIG. 5 is a sequence diagram illustrating a processing procedure example when providing a screen sharing service according to the present embodiment. FIG. 5 shows a processing procedure after the information processing apparatuses 100a and 100b on the transmission side and the reception side of the operation information are determined by switching the operation right between the information processing apparatuses.

Passed to part 22.

  In accordance with the operation event, the drawing unit 24 draws a page object of a page to be displayed after page turning on the screen, and makes a screen transition (step S101).

The operation type determining unit 22, based on the operation event, the accepted input operation is determined to be the page feed operation (step S102), the transmission data generating unit 23, and instructs the generation of the transmission data 23D ₁ (Step S103). At this time, the operation type determination unit 22 transmits the page number of the page to be displayed after page turning that can be acquired from the operation event (hereinafter referred to as “page number of the page destination” for convenience) as operation information corresponding to the input operation. The data is passed to the data generation unit 23.

Transmission data generating unit 23 generates transmission data 23D ₁ including the page number (step S104), and the communication control unit 11 instructs the data transmission (step S105). At this time, the transmission data generation unit 23 passes the generated transmission data 23D ₁ to the communication control unit 11.

  As a result, the page number of the page destination is transmitted from the information processing apparatus 100a on the transmission side to the information processing apparatus 100b on the reception side (step S106). At this time, in the communication control unit 11 included in the information processing apparatus 100a on the transmission side, data transmission to the information processing apparatus 100b on the reception side is performed according to the network setting information (for example, “IP address (Internet Protocol address)”) acquired at the time of broadcasting. Done.

  In response to this, in the information processing apparatus 100b on the receiving side, the received data is passed from the communication control unit 11 to the drawing unit 24 (step S107), and the drawing unit 24 selects the page object of the page number included in the received data. Drawing on the screen and screen transition (step S108). Thereby, in the information processing apparatus 100b on the reception side, the page turning operation on the transmission side is reproduced on the screen according to the received page number.

(2) Screen Sharing During Pointer Operation As shown in FIG. 5, in the information processing apparatus 100a on the transmission side, when a pointer operation is performed on the screen, corresponding operation events are displayed in the drawing unit 24 and the operation type determination unit 22. Passed to.

  The drawing unit 24 draws the pointer object on the screen according to the operation event (step S201).

The operation type determining unit 22, based on the operation event, the accepted input operation is determined to be a pointer operation (step S202), the transmission data generating unit 23, and instructs the generation of the transmission data 23D ₂ ( Step S203). At this time, the operation type determination unit 22 passes the coordinate value corresponding to the pointer position on the screen that can be acquired from the operation event to the transmission data generation unit 23 as operation information corresponding to the input operation.

Transmission data generating unit 23 generates transmission data 23D ₂ including coordinate values corresponding to the pointer position on the screen (step S204), the communication control unit 11 instructs the data transmission (step S205). At this time, the transmission data generating unit 23, a transmission data 23D ₂ after generation, passes to the communication control unit 11.

Note that the transmission data 23D ₂ produced during pointer operation, at the receiving side the size of the transmission side and the screen are different, it may include data for adjusting the reproduction position of the pointer operation performed on the transmission side. Specifically, the transmission data 23D _2, other coordinate values, including picture frame size of the transmitting side (the screen frame information).

  As a result, the coordinate value corresponding to the pointer position and the screen frame size on the transmission side are transmitted from the information processing apparatus 100a on the transmission side to the information processing apparatus 100b on the reception side (step S206).

  In response to this, in the information processing apparatus 100b on the receiving side, the received data is passed from the communication control unit 11 to the drawing unit 24 (step S207), and the drawing unit 24 receives the coordinate value and the screen frame size included in the received data. Accordingly, the pointer object is drawn on the screen (step S208). At this time, the drawing unit 24 determines the coordinate space of the transmission-side screen on the reception-side screen based on the screen frame size of the information processing apparatus 100b in which the function unit operates and the transmission-side screen frame size included in the reception data. Convert to coordinate space (perform coordinate conversion) and adjust the drawing position of the pointer object.

  Thereby, in the information processing apparatus 100b on the reception side, the pointer operation on the transmission side is reproduced on the screen according to the received coordinate value and the screen frame size.

<Summary>
As described above, according to the screen sharing service providing system 1000 according to the present embodiment, an information processing apparatus (transmission-side information processing apparatus) 100a having an operation right between information processing apparatuses in which the same content is displayed on the screen. However, the operation type determination unit 22 determines the input operation, and the transmission data generation unit 23 generates transmission data 23D including operation information corresponding to the determined input operation. Information processing apparatus (reception-side information processing apparatus) 100b. As a result, the other information processing apparatus (information processing apparatus on the receiving side) 100b receives the transmission data 23D via the communication control unit 11, and the drawing unit 24 transmits the transmission data according to the operation information included in the reception data. The input operation is reproduced on the screen.

  Accordingly, the screen sharing service providing system 1000 according to the present embodiment can share the display screen on which the input operation is reflected with a small amount of data. As a result, the communication load between the information processing apparatuses is reduced (communication time is shortened), and the processing load of the information processing apparatus itself is reduced (drawing processing time is reduced). Therefore, the screen sharing service providing system 1000 according to the present embodiment can achieve high real-time performance during screen sharing.

<Modification 1>
Below, the modification 1 which concerns on the said embodiment is demonstrated.
FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of screen sharing between the presenter and the viewer. FIG. 6 shows a display screen W1 on the presenter side and a display screen W2 on the viewer side in the usage scene shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 6, for example, a presenter (a conference participant who has an operation right) can move the pointer object displayed on the display screen W1 from the position P1 to the position P2 during the presentation. is there. In this case, since the pointer operation of the presenter is reproduced in real time on the display screen W2 on the viewer side, the presenter performs the pointer operation between the information processing apparatuses of the presenter and the viewer (during the pointer operation). The coordinate value corresponding to the pointer position is periodically transmitted and received. That, among the information processing apparatus, transmission data 23D ₂ including coordinate values are transmitted over a plurality of times.

  Therefore, in the first modification, a mechanism is proposed in which data transmission between the information processing apparatuses when moving the pointer on the screen is collectively transmitted in units of input operations to reduce the communication load from the decrease in communication frequency. In addition, the first modification also proposes a mechanism for canceling the time lag related to the reproduction of the input operation that is expected to occur on the receiving side even in batch transmission of the input operation unit and ensuring the real-time property when the screen is shared. To do.

《Screen sharing process during pointer movement operation》
FIG. 7 is a sequence diagram illustrating an example of a screen sharing process procedure at the time of a pointer movement operation according to the first modification.
As shown in FIG. 7, in the information processing apparatus 100 a on the transmission side, when a pointer operation is started on the screen, a corresponding operation event is passed to the drawing unit 24 and the operation type determination unit 22.

  The drawing unit 24 starts drawing a pointer object on the screen according to the operation event (step S301).

  Further, the operation type determination unit 22 determines that the received input operation is a pointer operation based on the operation event (step S302), and notifies the transmission data generation unit 23 that the pointer operation has started. (Step S303). At this time, the operation type determination unit 22 passes the operation start coordinate value corresponding to the pointer position on the screen that can be acquired from the operation event to the transmission data generation unit 23 as operation information corresponding to the input operation.

  When the transmission data generation unit 23 receives an operation start notification (transmission data generation instruction), the transmission data generation unit 23 starts the next process. The transmission data generation unit 23 measures the operation time [T1] and records the coordinate value corresponding to the pointer position during the operation (step S304). At this time, the measurement of the operation time [T1] is performed using, for example, a clock circuit (not shown) included in the information processing apparatus 100a on the transmission side. The coordinate value is recorded by buffering on the memory (RAM) the coordinate value corresponding to the pointer position during the operation, which is periodically delivered from the operation type determination unit 22. Therefore, a plurality of coordinate values (coordinate value groups) indicating the locus of the input operation are temporarily stored on the memory as time elapses.

  In the information processing apparatus 100a on the transmission side, when the pointer operation is completed on the screen, the corresponding operation event is passed to the drawing unit 24 and the operation type determination unit 22. At this time, the end of the pointer operation is detected by the input device 101 based on the contact state of the pointing member such as a touch pen or a finger on the display screen, for example, in the case of the pointer operation by touch input. The input device 101 determines that the pointer is being operated while the pointing member is in contact with the screen, and detects the end of the pointer operation when it is away from the screen.

  The drawing unit 24 finishes drawing the pointer object on the screen according to the operation event (detection result) (step S401).

Also, the operation type determination unit 22 notifies the transmission data generation unit 23 that the pointer operation has ended based on the operation event (detection result) (step S402). At this time, the operation type determination unit 22 passes the operation end coordinate value corresponding to the pointer position on the screen that can be acquired from the operation event to the transmission data generation unit 23. Thus, the operation type determining unit 22, the transmission data generating unit 23, and instructs the generation of the transmission data 23D _2.

When receiving the operation end notification (transmission data generation instruction), the transmission data generation unit 23 ends the measurement of the operation time [T1] and the recording of the coordinate values, for example, transmission data 23D ₂ as shown in FIG. Is generated (step S403).

FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of transmission data of operation information according to the present embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 8, the transmission data generation unit 23 records the recorded coordinate value group (x = a ₁ , y = b ₂ ... X = a _n , y = b _n ), the screen frame size (fsize = W [ width] × H [height]) , and generates transmission data 23D ₂ including the measured operating time (time = T1 [sec]) .

Returning to the description of FIG. Transmission data generating unit 23, a transmission data 23D ₂ after generation, passes to the communication control unit 11, the communication control unit 11 instructs the data transmission (step S404).

  As a result, the information processing apparatus 100a on the transmission side makes a plurality of coordinate values (coordinate values in the recording order) corresponding to the pointer position from the start to the end of the pointer movement operation to the information processing apparatus 100b on the reception side. The screen frame size and the operation time [T1] of the pointer movement operation are collectively transmitted for each input operation (step S405). Thereby, in this modification 1, the communication frequency between information processing apparatuses reduces, and a communication load is reduced.

  In the information processing apparatus 100b on the receiving side, the received data is passed from the communication control unit 11 to the drawing unit 24 (step S406).

The drawing unit 24 first calculates the reproduction time of the pointer movement operation on the reception side (drawing time [T2] of the pointer object) (step S407). At this time, the drawing unit 24 calculates the drawing time [T2] of the pointer object by the following equation.
Drawing time [T2] = operation time [T1] × adjustment coefficient [k] (Equation 1)
Adjustment coefficient [k]: 0 <[k] <1 (Expression 2)
As can be seen from the above equation, the adjustment coefficient [k] is a coefficient for adjusting the speed (drawing speed) when reproducing the input operation on the transmission side on the reception side.

Here, the relationship between the operation time [T1] and the adjustment coefficient [k] will be described.
FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating a relationship between the operation time [T1] and the drawing speed adjustment coefficient [k] according to the first modification. In FIG. 9, the vertical axis indicates the adjustment coefficient [k], and the horizontal axis indicates the operation time [T1].

  As shown in FIG. 9, the operation time [T1] and the adjustment coefficient [k] have an inversely proportional relationship. Further, the value of the adjustment coefficient [k] is in the range shown in the above (Equation 2). Therefore, the adjustment coefficient [k] is a decimal value close to “0” if the operation time [T1] is long. On the other hand, if the operation time [T1] is short, the decimal value is close to “1”.

  Based on the operation time [T1], the drawing unit 24 determines the adjustment coefficient [k] used when calculating the drawing time [T2], and calculates the drawing time [T2]. Specifically, the drawing unit 24 accesses a predetermined storage area that holds relation data (for example, “table data”) between the operation time [T1] and the adjustment coefficient [k], and corresponds to the operation time [T1]. The corresponding data of the adjustment coefficient [k] is acquired. The drawing unit 24 calculates the drawing time [T2] by substituting the acquired adjustment coefficient [k] and the operation time [T1] included in the received data into the above (Equation 1).

  In this manner, the drawing unit 24 adjusts the speed (drawing speed) at which the input operation on the transmission side is reproduced on the reception side by the adjustment coefficient [k] determined from the operation time [T1]. Specifically, it is as shown in FIG.

FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of screen sharing at the time of a pointer movement operation according to the first modification.
For example, in the first modification, when the operation time [T1] of the input operation performed on the transmission side is long, the adjustment coefficient [k], which is a decimal value close to “0”, is used for the operation time [T1]. A short drawing time [T2] is calculated and adjusted to increase the drawing speed.

  Thereby, in this modification 1, the time lag which generate | occur | produces when reflecting the input operation of the transmission side on the shared screen of the receiving side can be canceled, and the real-time property at the time of screen sharing can be ensured.

  Returning to the description of FIG. After calculating the drawing time [T2], the drawing unit 24 starts drawing the pointer object on the screen according to the plurality of coordinate values (coordinate values in the recording order) included in the received data and the screen frame size (step S408). . At this time, the drawing unit 24 draws the pointer object at a speed at which the drawing process is completed within the calculated drawing time [T2]. Thereby, on the receiving side, the pointer moving operation is reproduced at a speed faster than the speed of the input operation performed on the transmitting side.

  As described above, in the screen sharing service providing system 1000 according to the first modification, the data transmission between the information processing apparatuses is collectively transmitted in units of input operations, thereby reducing the communication frequency and reducing the communication load. . Further, in the screen sharing service providing system 1000 according to the first modification, even in the case of batch transmission in units of input operations, by adjusting the speed at which the input operation on the transmission side is reproduced on the reception side, Real-time performance can be ensured.

  In the first modification, an operation of moving the pointer is given as an example of the input operation on the transmission side, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, it may be a handwriting input operation. In the screen sharing service providing system 1000 according to the first modification, the above-described effect is obtained for an input operation in a state where the display screen is in contact with the display screen for a predetermined time.

The operation information holding unit 31 corresponds to, for example, a predetermined storage area of a storage device (for example, “HDD”) included in the information processing apparatus 100b. Thus, the viewer can individually record a memo by handwriting input operation or the like in the information processing apparatus 100b owned by the viewer.

  When the sharing mode switching unit 25 receives a non-sharing setting instruction, the sharing mode switching unit 25 instructs the communication control unit 11 to record received data (transmission-side operation information) from the transmission-side information processing device 100a. As a result, the communication control unit 11 receives the transmission data 23D from the information processing apparatus 100a on the transmission side, and records the reception data in the reception data holding unit 32. The received data holding unit 32 corresponds to a predetermined storage area of the storage device included in the information processing apparatus 100b, and corresponds to a storage area different from the operation information holding unit 31. That is, in the second modification, the input operation to the individual screen and the input operation to the shared screen are managed by different recording areas.
