A mobile terminal () obtains image data related to a product posted on a flier () by imaging and sends the image data related to the product to a shopping management server (). Upon reception of the image data related to the product from the mobile terminal (), the shopping management server () determines the product by analyzing the image data related to the product, obtains at least one of inventory information and sales information of the product, and sends at least one of the inventory information and the sales information of the product to the mobile terminal (). The mobile terminal () combines computer-graphics image data indicating at least one of the inventory information and the sales information of the product sent from the shopping management server () with an image of the flier in real space and presents the combined image, thereby solving the problem.

System, method and program for managing and displaying product information

An information processing apparatus including an imaged image input unit inputting an imaged image of a facility imaged in an imaging device to a display control unit, a measurement information input unit inputting measurement information measured by a sensor provided in the facility from the sensor to a creation unit, a creation unit creating a virtual image representing a status of an outside or inside of the facility based on the measurement information input by the measurement information input unit, and a display control unit overlaying and displaying the virtual image created in the creation unit and the imaged image input by the imaged image input unit on a display device.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and program

An Augmented Reality (AR) providing apparatus sends to a server apparatus a request, including image information from an imaging device, for obtaining product information indicating a product that can be displayed on a shelf. and the AR apparatus displays product information included in a reply from the server apparatus in response to the request in an overlaying image manner. The server apparatus determines a shelf from the image information included in the request, determines a size of an empty shelf space, and selects product information of products smaller than the determined size of the empty shelf space. The product information is selected from a storage device storing multiple sets of product information indicating a product and its associated size information. The server apparatus sends a reply including the selected product information to the AR providing apparatus.

An information processing apparatus and method are disclosed. The method includes obtaining vacant space information of a parking lot, and obtaining a position and a direction of a car in the parking lot. The method further includes determining one or more vacant spaces existing in a traveling direction of the car, and determining one or more routes from the car location to a vacant space. Moreover, the method includes generating one or more virtual space images at least indicating a position of the vacant space in the parking lot, and transmitting the generated one or more virtual space images to the car.

Method and system for determining information relating to vacant spaces of a parking lot

A failure analysis apparatus obtains information associated with an operational status of a data center, determines information regarding fault repair work for the data center, based on the information associated with the operational status, and transmits the information regarding the fault repair work to a head mounted display (HMD). The HMD synthesizes and presents computer graphics image data for providing guidance for a method of the fault repair work, with an image of real space, based on the information regarding the fault repair work. After the fault repair work according to the guidance presented by the HMD, if the information associated with the operational status of the data center is newly obtained, the failure analysis apparatus newly determines the information regarding the fault repair work for the data center based on the information associated with the operational status, and transmits the information to the HMD.

Information processing system, information processing method and program for synthesizing and displaying an image

HMDs and compact cameras generate image data of display media of users, and transmit the data to a conference management server. HMDs and compact cameras further generate presentation information of the users for a conference, and transmit the information to the conference management server. The conference management server verifies the display medium by comparing an association between each user and the image data of the display medium used by the user with an association between the received image data of the display medium for the user and the user. If the verification is successful, the server transmits presentation information of the users for the conference received from the HMDs and the compact cameras to the HMDs.
