Application: Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and program (Patent ID: US20240104850A1)
The patent filed by Sony Group Corp describes an information processing apparatus that acquires avoidance region information to prevent the entrance of a target person or virtual object into a specified area. The apparatus controls the reproduction of virtual content based on this avoidance region information, ensuring that the target person is not disturbed by unwanted elements. The system can adjust the display of virtual objects or output virtual sounds to guide the target person's attention away from the avoidance region.
Additionally, the apparatus includes features such as generating avoidance region information based on periphery information about the target person, setting avoidance requirement levels for different avoidance regions, and calculating priorities for reproducing virtual content. The patent also covers methods and programs for executing these functions on a computer system. Overall, the technology aims to enhance the user experience by intelligently managing virtual content in relation to the presence of target individuals or objects in specific areas.
