To provide a technique for managing three-dimensional images, such as a three-dimensional avatar, in consideration of privacy protection or the like.SOLUTION: An apparatus includes: a base avatar generation unit 1 which generates a base avatar; a disclosure level setting unit 2 which sets a disclosure level of an avatar in relation to a specific user; a disclosure avatar adjustment unit 3 which adjusts an appearance of the base avatar in accordance with the set disclosure level; and an avatar data output unit 4 which outputs avatar data to the outside. The disclosure level setting unit 2 includes: a communication analysis unit 7 which analyzes communication relationship between a user and other users; a behavior analysis unit 8 which analyzes behavior of the other users; and a disclosure level determination unit 9 which determines a disclosure level of the base avatar in the relation with each of the other users, on the basis of results of the analysis.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】３次元アバター等の３次元画像の管理において、プライバシー保護等に配慮した管理を行う技術を提供する。【解決手段】基本となるアバターを生成する基本アバター生成部１と、特定のユーザとの関係でアバターの公開レベルを設定する公開レベル設定部２と、設定された公開レベルに合わせて、基本アバター又の外観を調整する公開アバター調整部３と、アバターデータを外部に出力するアバターデータ出力部４を備える。公開レベル設定部２は、ユーザの他のユーザとの間の交流関係を分析する交流分析部７と、他のユーザの行動を分析する行動分析部８と、これらの分析結果に基づき個々の他のユーザとの関係における基本アバターの公開レベルを判定する公開レベル判定部９とを備える。【選択図】図１
