Title: Information processing system, information processing apparatus, and program
Inventor: KAZUTOSHI TANIYAMA
IPC: H04S7/00
Filed: 2020-08-27
Abstract: An information processing system includes an information processing apparatus, a camera, and a speaker. The camera captures an image of a person located in space. The speaker is not integrated with the camera, has audio directivity, and rotates based on an instruction from a control unit. The control unit in the information processing apparatus determines a target person from an image captured by the camera, detects the head location of the target person, and calculates the rotation angle of the speaker for outputting audio to the head location. In addition, the control unit selects an audio pattern to be outputted to the target person and causes the speaker to rotate at the rotation angle and output the selected audio pattern. Preferably the control unit associates a two-dimensional image of the captured image with a three-dimensional space before detecting the coordinates of feet and top of the head of the target person and maps these coordinates to the 3D space. A ear location of the subject would then be determined and used as the head location.

Title: Performance issue monitoring
Inventor: Nicola Bull
IPC: H04L41/0677
Filed: 2022-03-10
Abstract: A method for monitoring a network comprises determining (e.g. via a VoIP monitoring process) whether there is performance issue in respect of streamed communication carried via a first network connection between a first customer premises equipment (CPE) in a LAN, such as originator CPE 30, and one or more remote entities outside the LAN, wherein the determination is based on data from the streamed communication, such as packet loss, jitter value, and Mean Opinion Score. In response to determining that there is such an issue, it is determined (e.g. via a DSL monitoring process) whether there is a performance issue with the first network connection. In response to determining that there is, a monitoring process (e.g. a neighbourhood diagnostic process) is triggered to determine whether there is a performance issue with the network connections of other CPEs 32. This defines a cluster of CPEs exhibiting performance issues in respect of their network connections, to identify a candidate cause of the performance issue in respect of the streamed communication. In another method, the monitoring process comprises, by the CPE, identifying other CPEs and instructing them to determine whether there is a performance issue in respect of their network connections.
