Information processing apparatus, control method, and storage medium

Provided is a client device that includes a detection unit that detects an act of expressing gratitude by a user, a communication unit that transmits and receives at least a first portion of virtual currency, and a control unit that performs control, with recognition of an act of expressing gratitude by a first user on the basis of data detected, such that a certain amount corresponding to the act in virtual currency held by the first user is subtracted and a first portion of the certain amount of the virtual currency is managed as gratitude currency held by the first user.

Client device, information processing system, storage medium, and information processing method

Provided is a communication system that includes a recognition unit that recognizes whether a user is performing a specific gesture, and a control unit that identifies a client serving as a communication destination, when the specific gesture is recognized. The control unit further identifies an impression represented by the recognized gesture information and performs control such that the impression represented by the gesture information is notified to a user corresponding to the client.

Communication system, server, storage medium, and communication control method

To provide a client device, an information processing system, a storage medium, and an information processing method capable of distributing, to both parties, virtual currency that generates value through gratitude act. A client device including: a detection unit configured to detect an act of expressing gratitude by a user; a communication unit configured to transmit and receive at least a first portion of virtual currency; and a control unit configured to perform control, with recognition of an act of expressing gratitude by a first user on the basis of data detected, such that a certain amount corresponding to the act in virtual currency held by the first user is subtracted and a first portion of the certain amount of the virtual currency is managed as gratitude currency held by the first user, the control unit being configured to cause the communication unit to transmit peripherally a second portion of the certain amount of the virtual currency as information regarding gratitude reception currency, the control unit being configured to perform control, with reception of information regarding gratitude reception currency after detection of an act of expressing gratitude by a second user on the basis of data detected, such that the gratitude reception currency indicated by the information regarding the gratitude reception currency is managed as gratitude reception currency held by the first user.

[Object] To provide a communication system and a communication control method capable of obtaining reliable feedback from a user further naturally through a conversation with an agent without imposing a burden on the user. [Solution] The communication system includes: a communication unit configured to receive request information for requesting feedback on a specific experience of a user; an accumulation unit configured to accumulate the feedback received from a client terminal of the user via the communication unit; and a control unit configured to perform control such that a question for requesting the feedback on the specific experience of the user based on the request information is transmitted to the client terminal of the user at a timing according to context of the user, and feedback input by the user in response to the question output as speech of an agent via the client terminal is received.

Communication system and communication control method

To provide an information processing system, an information processing method, and a recording medium, which are capable of assisting in a search for a moving image using a graph of data which is not obtained from image analysis associated with a moving image. Provided is an information processing system, including: a moving image data acquiring unit configured to acquire moving image data; a communication unit configured to receive sensor data associated with the moving image data and chronological data corresponding to a shooting time of the moving image data; an image signal processing unit configured to perform image analysis on the moving image data and generate image analysis result data; and a control unit configured to generate an interface including the moving image data and graphs of at least two pieces of data among the sensor data, the chronological data, and the image analysis result data.

To provide an information processing system, a storage medium and a control method through which a user privacy level in a telepresence system can be set depending on a counterpart. An information processing system including: a setting unit that automatically sets a privacy level depending on a user of a communication destination device; a communication unit that transmits a picture of a user of a communication source device to the communication destination device; and a controller that performs control to mask the picture of the user of the communication source device depending on the automatically set privacy level.

Information processing system, storage medium, and control method

An information processing system, a control method and a non-transitory storage medium through which emotional values of objects can be numerically expressed based on an interaction between the objects are provided. The information processing system includes a detection unit that detects information related to an interaction between a first object and a second object; and a generation unit that is capable of generating an emotion value of the first object and an emotion value of the second object on the basis of the information related to the interaction.

Provided is a communication system that includes a recognition unit that recognizes whether a user is performing a specific gesture, and a control unit that identifies a client serving as a communication destination, when the specific gesture is recognized.
