A Support System to Encourage Idea Generation During Videoconference Brainstorming

Search Websites' Images using Search Suggestions (SWISS) is an idea generation support system for smart-phones that searches for images based on spoken words. However, during videoconferencing sessions, when participants brainstorm using their smartphones, it is difficult for them to see each other's faces because the screens of their devices are filled with the images retrieved by SWISS. Therefore, in order that users may be able to maintain visual contact with other users during a videoconference while using SWISS, this paper introduced a system that estimates who is about to speak by using OpenPose.
