Abstract

Aiming to facilitate further improvement of usability. An information processing apparatus ( 10 ) according to an embodiment includes: a calculation unit ( 1122 ) that calculates a score indicating a characteristic of a target object; and a presentation control unit ( 1123 ) that performs processing for displaying visualized information for the target object based on height information corresponding to the score calculated by the calculation unit ( 1122 ).

First claim

1 . An information processing apparatus including:
a calculation unit that calculates a score indicating a characteristic of a target object; and a presentation control unit that performs processing for displaying visualized information for the target object based on height information corresponding to the score calculated by the calculation unit.

2 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the presentation control unit performs the processing for displaying the visualized information based on a reference height of the visualized information determined based on the height information and height information based on the height of the target object.

3 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,
wherein the presentation control unit performs the processing for displaying the visualized information based on height information based on a maximum value, a mean, a mode, or a minimum value of the height of the target object as the height information based on the height of the target object.

4 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,
wherein the presentation control unit performs the processing for displaying the visualized information based on the height information based on the height of the target object, the height information including an offset determined based on the height of the target object and the height of the visualized information to be displayed.

5 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein, when the visualized information to be displayed falls within a field angle of a display field angle determined based on a height of a viewpoint of a user and a relative horizontal distance between the user and the target object, the presentation control unit performs the processing for displaying the visualized information.

6 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 ,
wherein, when the visualized information to be displayed falls within the field angle of the display field angle determined based on information regarding an angle of a visual field of the user, the presentation control unit performs the processing for displaying the visualized information.

7 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the calculation unit calculates the score of each of a plurality of target objects, and the presentation control unit performs processing for displaying the visualized information based on height information corresponding to the score of each of the plurality of target objects.

8 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein, when a height difference based on the height information indicating a transition of the visualized information is equal to or more than a predetermined threshold, the presentation control unit performs processing for dynamically displaying the visualized information.

9 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the presentation control unit performs processing for displaying the visualized information in which the score is represented by a mesh three-dimensional graph.

10 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the calculation unit calculates a score indicating a characteristic of the target object related to vegetation.

11 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the calculation unit calculates the score indicating a relationship between a plurality of target objects, and the presentation control unit performs processing for displaying the visualized information visualizing the relationship between the plurality of target objects with a three-dimensional path based on the score indicating the relationship between the plurality of target objects calculated by the calculation unit.

12 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 11 ,
wherein the presentation control unit performs processing for displaying the visualized information visualizing a personal relationship in a town, product management in a warehouse, personnel allocation in a work place, or an excitement degree in a venue.

13 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the presentation control unit performs processing for displaying the visualized information in augmented reality (AR) representation.

14 . An information processing method executed by a computer, the method including:
a calculation step of calculating a score indicating a characteristic of a target object; and a presentation control step of performing processing for displaying visualized information for the target object based on height information corresponding to the score calculated by the calculation step.

15 . An information processing program causing a computer to execute:
a calculation procedure of calculating a score indicating a characteristic of a target object; and a presentation control procedure of performing processing for displaying visualized information for the target object based on height information corresponding to the score calculated by the calculation procedure.
