Abstract

A motion coordination operation device is provided, which includes a movement information input unit inputting movement information supplied from respective sensor devices mounted on a plurality of users; and an operation unit operating coordination information that indicates the synchronization of motions of bodies or parts of the bodies of the plurality of users from the input movement information from the respective sensor devices, and generating control information for feedback outputs for the users based on the coordination information.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An information processing apparatus comprising:
 circuitry configured to   acquire movement information of a plurality of users;   determine a first information indicating the synchronization of motions of bodies or parts of the bodies of the plurality of users based on the movement information; and   determine feedback outputs based on the first information;   wherein the feedback outputs are communicated to the plurality of users via tactile sensation.   
     
     
         2 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is configured to acquire the movement information from respective sensor devices mounted on the plurality of users. 
     
     
         3 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein the sensor device is mounted on a wrist of user, an ankle of user, a neck of user, an arm of user, a trunk of user or a leg portion of user. 
     
     
         4 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is configured to acquire the movement information from respective sensor devices,
 a type of the sensor device is one of headphone type, a necklet type that is put on a neck, a type that is mounted on clothes with a clip or a type that is put in a pocket.   
     
     
         5 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is configured to acquire the movement information from respective sensor devices held by user in user's hand. 
     
     
         6 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the movement information are based on images captured by camera devices. 
     
     
         7 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the synchronization is measured by comparing the motions of the plurality of users to one another. 
     
     
         8 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein respective degrees of the feedback outputs are determined based on the first information. 
     
     
         9 . An information processing apparatus comprising:
 circuitry configured to   acquire movement information of a plurality of users;   determine a first information indicating the synchronization of motions of bodies or parts of the bodies of the plurality of users based on the movement information; and   determine feedback outputs based on the first information;   wherein respective degrees of the feedback outputs are determined based on the first information.   
     
     
         10 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 9 , wherein the circuitry is configured to acquire the movement information from respective sensor devices mounted on the plurality of users. 
     
     
         11 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 10 , wherein the sensor device is mounted on a wrist of user, an ankle of user, a neck of user, an arm of user, a trunk of user or a leg portion of user. 
     
     
         12 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 9 , wherein the circuitry is configured to acquire the movement information from respective sensor devices,
 a type of the sensor device is one of headphone type, a necklet type that is put on a neck, a type that is mounted on clothes with a clip or a type that is put in a pocket.   
     
     
         13 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 9 , wherein the circuitry is configured to acquire the movement information from respective sensor devices held by user in user's hand. 
     
     
         14 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 9 , wherein the movement information are based on images captured by camera devices. 
     
     
         15 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 9 , wherein the synchronization is measured by comparing the motions of the plurality of users to one another. 
     
     
         16 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 9 , wherein the feedback outputs are communicated with the plurality of users via one of tactile sensation, audio or image. 
     
     
         17 . A method comprising:
 acquiring movement information of a plurality of users;   determining a first information indicating the synchronization of motions of bodies or parts of the bodies of the plurality of users based on the movement information; and   determining feedback outputs based on the first information;   wherein the feedback outputs are communicated to the plurality of users via tactile sensation.
