EXAMPLE EMBODIMENT

Hereinafter, example embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail.

First Example Embodiment

First, a content generation system according to a first example embodiment of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

<Configuration>

FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating an example of a configuration of the content generation system according to the first example embodiment of the present disclosure. In the example illustrated in FIG. 1, a content generation system 10 according to the present example embodiment includes a selected material receiving unit 120, an action candidate display unit 130 that displays action candidates that are candidates of an action of a selected material, a selected action receiving unit 140 that receives a selected action selected from the action candidates, and a moving image generation unit 150 that generates a moving image in which the selected material performs the selected action.

A material display unit 110 displays material candidates including a basic material for which a usage right is granted from a higher-level organization of a target organization and an extension material for which the target organization holds a usage right independently of the higher-level organization in the order determined according to a designated job. The selected material receiving unit 120 receives the selected material selected from the material candidates. The action candidate display unit 130 displays the action candidates that are candidates for the action of the selected material. The selected action receiving unit 140 receives the selected action selected from the action candidates. The moving image generation unit 150 generates the moving image in which the selected material performs the selected action.

The above-described material is, for example, data of a target such as a plurality of persons, a plurality of vehicles, a plurality of instruments, or the like. Specifically, the material is data used to generate a moving image in which the target is performing an action determined for the target in advance. Each of the materials is associated with a name representing the material. Each material is associated with identification information representing the material. The name of the material may be the identification information of the material. A specific example of the material will be described in detail below.

The material display unit 110 displays, for example, a material identification information list (for example, a material name list). The material display unit 110 may display, for example, a name of a material type. Then, in a case where any of the material types is designated by a user of the content generation system 10, for example, the selected material receiving unit 120 may receive information of the selected material type. The material display unit 110 may display the material identification information list included in the selected material type.

The target organization may be, for example, a department in a company. The higher-level organization may be, for example, a department including the target organization. The higher-level organization may be the company including the target department. The higher-level organization may be, for example, a national police agency.

In this case, the target organization may be a prefectural police headquarter or a department in a prefectural police headquarter. The higher-level organization may be, for example, a prefectural police headquarter. In this case, the target organization may be a department in the prefectural police headquarter. The target organization and the higher-level organization are not limited to the above examples.

The designated job is a job designated by the target organization. The order in which the target is displayed as the material may be appropriately determined by the user of the target organization, for example. The order in which the target is displayed as the material may be determined in advance based on, for example, a possibility (or frequency) of encountering the target in the designated job. The order in which the target is displayed as the material may be determined in advance based on, for example, an importance in the designated job. The order in which the target is displayed as the material may be determined in advance based on, for example, an importance of coping with the target in a case of encountering the target in the designated job. The order in which the target is displayed as the material may be determined in advance based on, for example, a possibility (or frequency) that the target is selected in content generation for the designated job. The order in which the target is displayed as the material is not limited to these examples.

In the present example embodiment, the action of the material is an action determined in advance as an action that the material may perform. The action of the material is determined in advance for each material type. The action candidate display unit 130 displays the action determined as the action of the selected material as the action candidate.

The order in which the action candidates are displayed may be appropriately determined by the user of the target organization, for example. The order in which the action candidates are displayed may be determined in advance based on a possibility that the target performs the action in a case of encountering the target in the designated job. The order in which the action candidates are displayed may be determined in advance based on an importance of coping with the target performing the action in a case where the target encountered in the designated job performs the action. The order in which the action candidates are displayed may be determined in advance based on, for example, a possibility (or frequency) of being selected as the action of the target in the content generation for the designated job. The order in which the action candidates are displayed is not limited to these examples.

The moving image generation unit 150 generates a moving image in which the selected material performs the selected action received by the selected action receiving unit 140 by using the data of the selected material.

<Operation>

Next, an operation of the content generation system 10 according to the first example embodiment of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the operation of the content generation system 10 according to the first example embodiment of the present disclosure. In the example illustrated in FIG. 2, first, the material display unit 110 displays material candidates in the order determined according to a designated job (step S101). The selected material receiving unit 120 receives a selected material selected by the user of the content generation system 10 using an input device of the content generation system 10 (step S102). Specifically, the action candidate display unit 130 receives information indicating the selected material.

The action candidate display unit 130 displays action candidates in the order determined according to the selected material (step S103). The selected action receiving unit 140 receives a selected action selected by the user of the content generation system 10 using the input device of the content generation system 10 (step S104). Specifically, the selected action receiving unit 140 receives information indicating the selected action.

The moving image generation unit 150 generates a moving image in which the selected material performs the selected action (step S105). Then, the content generation system 10 ends the operation illustrated in FIG. 2.

<Candidates>

The present disclosure has an effect of facilitating creation of a content using a material usable by an organization. The reason is that the selected material receiving unit 120 receives a selected material selected from the material candidates including the basic material for which the usage right is granted from the higher-level organization of the target organization and the extension material for which the target organization holds the usage right independently of the higher-level organization. In addition, the selected action receiving unit 140 receives a selected action selected from the action candidates that are candidates for the action of the selected material. Moreover, the moving image generation unit 150 generates a moving image in which the selected material performs the selected action.

Modified Example of First Example Embodiment

The material may include a plurality of background images. The background image may be selected as another selected material, for example. In this case, for example, the material display unit 110 may display, for example, a plurality of background images included in the material as candidates before the start of the operation illustrated in FIG. 2. The selected material receiving unit 120 may further receive identification information of a designated background image. In this case, the moving image generation unit 150 may use the designated background image as a background image of the generated moving image. In this case, the action candidate display unit 130 does not have to display action candidates of the background image selected as the material.

Then, in step S105, the moving image generation unit 150 may use the selected background image as a background of a moving image in which a selected material performs a selected action. Furthermore, the content generation system 10 may repeat the operations from step S101 to step S104 a plurality of times. Then, in step S105, the moving image generation unit 150 may generate a moving image in which a plurality of selected materials perform selected actions.

Specific Example of Material

The material may be modeled data (hereinafter, referred to as a model) so that the material performing the action described above can be expressed as a moving image. The model may be, for example, a three-dimensional model. The three-dimensional model may include data representing a three-dimensional shape and data representing a pattern of the surface. The three-dimensional model may include data representing a three-dimensional shape and data representing a pattern of the surface in various states during the action performed by the material. The three-dimensional model may include, for example, data representing a skeleton of the material (for example, a person), data representing a range of a motion of the skeleton, data of a shape of the surface that can be changed in accordance with the motion of the skeleton, and data representing a pattern of the surface. Then, the material may include data of definition of a motion of a joint or the like in a case where the material performs various actions defined for each material.

In this case, the moving image generation unit 150 may generate a moving image representing a video of the selected material that is represented as the three-dimensional model and performs the selected action from a preset viewpoint. In this case, a method for generating the video of the selected material that performs the selected action may be any of the existing methods for generating a video representing a target that is performing an action from a three-dimensional model of the target.

The material may be data of a moving image in which various targets perform predetermined various actions. The above-described material may be, for example, data of a plurality of images representing a process in which various targets perform predetermined various actions. In this case, an action candidate of the target may be an action of the target of which a moving image (or a plurality of images representing a process of the action) exists. The moving images (or a plurality of images) do not have to include background information. Specifically, pixels in a background region in the moving images (or a plurality of images) may be set to have pixel values determined in advance as pixel values of pixels in a region to be replaced with a background image to be combined, for example.

The material is, for example, a target that may be encountered during work. The action candidate is, for example, an action that may be performed by the target encountered during work. The basic material for which the usage right is granted from the higher-level organization is, for example, a target material that is likely to be commonly encountered by personnel belonging to the organization under the higher-level organization and is a material for which a usage right is granted to an organization under the higher-level organization. The extension material for which the target organization holds the usage right is, for example, a target material that is likely to be encountered by personnel belonging to the target organization and is a material for which a usage right is acquired by the target organization among materials other than the material for which the usage right is granted to an organization under the high-level organization.

Specific examples of the material include a material such as a person, a vehicle, or an instrument. In a case where the target organization is an organization in the police, the person may be, for example, a suspicious person, a vicious criminal, a drug seller, a drug addict, or the like. The instrument may be, for example, a weapon, a syringe, or the like. The action candidate in this case may be an action that requires a police officer to perform some sort of work action, such as an action of attacking a person, an action of hiding an object, or an action of escaping. The vehicle may be a vehicle encountered on a road, such as a bicycle, an automobile, or the like. The action in this case may be an action that requires a police officer to perform some sort of work action, such as an action of approaching, an action of escaping, or an action of performing a violation.

In a case where the target organization is a company, the person may be a suspicious person, a worker, or the like. Examples of the instrument include a weapon, a tool to be used, furniture in a factory, and equipment in a building. In a case where the person is a suspicious person, the action candidate may be, for example, an action determined as an action that may be performed by the suspicious person and that requires a security guard to take some sort of action, such as an action of stealing, an action of attacking, or an action of escaping. In a case where the person is a worker, the action candidate may be, for example, an action that requires treatment for the worker or the like, such as an action of falling down, an action of experiencing an accident, an action representing a state of suffering from various diseases, or an action of performing work. In a case where the target is an instrument, and the instrument is furniture in a factory or equipment in a building, an action of the instrument may be a state in which some treatment needs to be performed on the furniture or equipment, such as an abnormal state of the instrument or a process in which the instrument reaches an abnormal state. The person may be a visitor. In this case, the action candidate may be an action that may be performed by the visitor at the time of customer service, such as an action of asking various questions, an action of performing normal purchasing action, an action of performing suspicious action, a preliminary action of various crimes, an action of committing various crimes, an action of making a claim, and an intense action.

Second Example Embodiment

Next, a second example embodiment of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

The material display unit 110, the selected material receiving unit 120, the action candidate display unit 130, the selected action receiving unit 140, and the moving image generation unit 150 according to the present example embodiment have the same functions and operate similarly as the material display unit 110, the selected material receiving unit 120, the action candidate display unit 130, the selected action receiving unit 140, and the moving image generation unit 150 according to the first example embodiment, respectively. Hereinafter, differences between the present example embodiment and the first example embodiment will be mainly described.

<Material Storage Unit 170>

The material storage unit 170 stores a basic material and a selected material. The material storage unit 170 may include a storage unit that stores the basic material and a storage unit that stores the selected material. At least one of the storage unit that stores the basic material or the storage unit that stores the selected material may be implemented in a storage connected to the content generation system 100 via a communication network.

The material storage unit 170 may store information indicating the order of displaying the materials.

<Action Storage Unit 180>

The action storage unit 180 stores action candidates (specifically, data of action candidates of the basic material) of the basic material and action candidates (specifically, data of action candidate of the selected material) of the selected material. The action storage unit 180 may include a storage unit that stores the action candidates of the basic material and a storage unit that stores the action candidates of the selected material. At least one of the storage unit that stores the action candidate of the basic material or the storage unit that stores the action candidate of the selected material may be implemented in a storage connected to the content generation system 100 via a communication network.

The action storage unit 180 may store the order of displaying the action candidates for each material.

<Material Display Unit 110>

The material display unit 110 displays information indicating the basic material and an extension material stored in the material storage unit 170 in the order of displaying the material including the basic material and the extension material determined for a target organization.

<Selected Material Receiving Unit 120>

The selected material receiving unit 120 receives information indicating the selected material which is a material selected from the basic material and the extension material whose information is displayed on the material display unit 110. The selected material receiving unit 120 transmits the information indicating the received selected material to the action candidate display unit 130.

<Action Candidate Display Unit 130>

The action candidate display unit 130 receives the information indicating the selected material from the selected material receiving unit 120. The action candidate display unit 130 displays information indicating the action candidates stored in the action storage unit 180 as the action candidates of the selected material whose information is received, in the order of displaying the action candidates of the selected material determined for the target organization. The action candidate display unit 130 transmits the information indicating the selected material to the selected action receiving unit 140.

<Selected Action Receiving Unit 140>

The selected action receiving unit 140 receives the information indicating the selected material from the action candidate display unit 130. The selected action receiving unit 140 receives information indicating the selected action that is an action candidate selected from the action candidates whose information is displayed on the action candidate display unit 130. The selected action receiving unit 140 transmits the information indicating the selected material and the information indicating the selected action to the moving image generation unit 150.

<Moving Image Generation Unit 150>

The moving image generation unit 150 receives the information indicating the selected material and the information indicating the selected action from the selected action receiving unit 140. The moving image generation unit 150 reads, from the material storage unit 170 and the action storage unit 180, data to be used for generating a moving image in which the selected material performs the selected action.

For example, in a case where the information of the material is represented by the above-described three-dimensional model, information of the three-dimensional model of the material is stored in the material storage unit 170. Then, information indicating an action of the three-dimensional model of the material that performs the action as the action candidate may be stored in the action storage unit 180. In this case, the moving image generation unit 150 reads the information of the selected material from the material storage unit 170, and reads information indicating the three-dimensional model of the selected material that performs the action as the action candidate from the action storage unit 180.

The information indicating the action of the three-dimensional model of the material that performs the action as the action candidate may also be stored in the material storage unit 170. In this case, the moving image generation unit 150 reads, from the material storage unit 170, data to be used for generating a moving image in which the selected material performs the selected action.

In a case where the information of the material is a moving image (or a plurality of still images) in which the material performs the action as the action candidate, the information of the material may be stored in the material storage unit 170. Also in this case, the moving image generation unit 150 reads, from the material storage unit 170, data to be used for generating a moving image in which the selected material performs the selected action.

The moving image generation unit 150 generates a moving image in which the selected material performs the selected action by using the read data to be used for generating a moving image in which the selected material performs the selected action. The moving image generation unit 150 transmits the generated moving image to the output unit 160.

<Output Unit 160>

FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the operation of the content generation system 100 according to the second example embodiment of the present disclosure. In the example illustrated in FIG. 4, the operations from step S101 to step S105 are the same as the operations from step S101 to step S105 of the content generation system according to the first example embodiment. In step S206, the output unit 160 outputs the generated moving image.

Effects

The present example embodiment described above has the same effect as that of the first example embodiment. The reason is the same as the reason why the effects of the first example embodiment are exhibited.

First Modified Example of Second Example Embodiment

The material storage unit 170 may store the order of displaying the materials for each target organization.

The material display unit 110 may receive, for example, information of the target organization designated by the user of the content generation system 100. The material display unit 110 may display the information of the material in the order of displaying the materials in a case where the target organization is the designated target organization.

The action storage unit 180 may store the order of displaying the actions for each material for each target organization.

The action candidate display unit 130 may display the action candidates of the selected material in the order of displaying the action candidates of the selected material in a case where the target organization is the designated target organization.

Second Modified Example of Second Example Embodiment

Next, a second modified example of the second example embodiment of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. A configuration of a content generation system 100 according to the present modified example is the same as the configuration of the content generation system 100 according to the second example embodiment illustrated in FIG. 3. In the present modified example, a material includes data of a target that performs an action on another target.

FIGS. 5, 6, and 7 are flowcharts illustrating an example of an operation of the content generation system 100 according to the second modified example of the second example embodiment of the present disclosure.

The content generation system 100 according to the present modified example first displays material candidates in the order determined according to a designated job (step S101 in FIG. 5). Next, a selected material receiving unit 120 receives a selected material (step S102). In a case where the selected material is a material that performs an action (NO in step S303), the operation of the content generation system 100 proceeds to B of FIG. 7. That is, next, the content generation system 100 performs the operation of step S11l in FIG. 7. The selected material that does not perform the action described above is, for example, a background image.

In a case where the selected material is a material that performs an action (YES in step S303), an action candidate display unit 130 displays action candidates in the order determined according to the selected material (step S103). A selected action receiving unit 140 receives a selected action (step S104). In a case where the selected action is not an action performed on another target (NO in step S305), the operation of the content generation system 100 proceeds to B in FIG. 7.

In a case where the selected action is an action performed on another target (YES in step S305), the operation of the content generation system 100 proceeds to A in FIG. 6. That is, next, the content generation system 100 performs the operation of step S306 in FIG. 6.

In step S306 of FIG. 6, the material display unit 110 displays material candidates in the order determined according to the selected action (step S306). The material candidates displayed in the order determined according to the selected action are materials determined in advance as materials that can be targets of the selected action of the selected material. The material candidates displayed in the order determined according to the selected action are, for example, materials determined in advance as target materials that can be used in the selected action of the selected material. The material candidates displayed in the order determined according to the selected action are, for example, materials determined in advance as target materials that can be targets of the selected action of the selected material. The material candidates displayed in the order determined according to the selected action displayed in step S306 are not limited to these examples. The material candidates displayed in the order determined according to the selected action displayed in step S306 may be appropriately determined in advance for the selected action.

Next, the selected material receiving unit 120 receives a second selected material which is a material selected from the material candidates displayed in the order determined according to the selected action (step S307). In a case where the second selected material does not perform an action (NO in step S308), that is, in a case where action candidates as actions that can be performed by the second selected material are not determined in advance, the operation of the content generation system 100 proceeds to B in FIG. 7. That is, next, the content generation system 100 performs the operation of step S111 in FIG. 7.

In a case where the second selected material performs an action (YES in step S308), that is, in a case where the action candidates of the second selected material are determined in advance, the action candidate display unit 130 displays the action candidates in the order determined according to the second selected material (step S309). The selected action receiving unit 140 receives a second selected action which is an action candidate selected from the action candidates displayed as the action candidates of the second selected material (step S310). Then, the operation of the content generation system 100 proceeds to B in FIG. 7. That is, next, the content generation system 100 performs the operation of step S311 in FIG. 7.

In a case where the operation of the content generation system 100 proceeds to B in FIG. 7, the operation after step S311 is performed. In a case where the selection of the material is not terminated (NO in step S311), for example, in a case where the user of the content generation system 100 does not instruct to terminate the selection of the material, the operation of the content generation system 100 returns to C in FIG. 5. That is, the content generation system then repeats the operation from step S101.

In a case where the selection of the material is terminated (NO in step S311), for example, in a case where the user of the content generation system 100 instructs to terminate the selection of the material, a moving image generation unit 150 generates a moving image using the selected material (step S312).

In the present modified example, in a case where a plurality of selected materials are selected, the moving image generation unit 150 generates a moving image using the plurality of selected materials. In a case where a background image is selected as the selected material, the moving image generation unit 150 uses the background image as a background image of the moving image to be generated. In a case where a material of a target (hereinafter, referred to as an action subject) that performs a selected action is selected as the selected material, the moving image generation unit 150 generates, for example, a moving image representing a scene where the action subject performs a selected action. In a case where materials of a plurality of action subjects are selected, the moving image generation unit 150 generates a moving image in which the plurality of action subjects perform selected actions. In a case where a material of an action subject and a material (that is, the second selected material described above) of a target (hereinafter, referred to as an action target) of a selected action of the action subject are selected, the moving image generation unit 150 generates, for example, a moving image in which the action subject performs the selected action on the action target. Furthermore, in a case where a selected action of an action target is selected, the moving image generation unit 150 may generate, for example, a moving image in which the action target performs the selected action of the action target in a process in which an action subject performs a selected action on the action target.

Finally, an output unit 160 outputs the generated moving image (step S206).
