Abstract

An activity history record apparatus includes a portable receiver that receives information, which contains position information and which is transmitted from a transmitter disposed at a predetermined position. The receiver includes a reception section, a voice detection section and a storage section. The reception section receives the information. The voice detection section detects voice. The storage section stores the position information extracted from the received information and voice-related information derived from the voice detected by the voice detection section, as a history.

Claims

1. An activity history record apparatus comprising:

a portable receiver that receives information, which contains position information and which is transmitted from a transmitter disposed at a predetermined position, wherein;

the receiver comprises

a reception section that receives the information;

a voice detection section that detects voice; and

a storage section that stores the position information extracted from the received information and voice-related information derived from the voice detected by the voice detection section, as a history.

2. The apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:

an analysis section that analyzes the history stored in the storage section.

3. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the voice-related information is volume information.

4. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the voice-related information is binary information indicating presence or absence of voice.

5. The according to claim 1, wherein:

the history contains time information, and

the receiver comprises a timer section that outputs the time information.

6. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein:

the history contains time information, and

the time information is contained in information received from an external apparatus.

7. The according to claim 6, wherein:

the external apparatus is the transmitter, and

the time information is contained in the transmitted information.

8. The apparatus according to claim 7, wherein:

the information transmitted from the transmitter is transmitted according to a predetermined time rule, and

the time information is recorded based on the predetermined time rule.

9. The apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the external apparatus is an apparatus that broadcasts the time information.

12. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the predetermined position is at least one facility selected from the group consisting of a conference room, a venue, a lounge and a meeting area.

10. An activity history record apparatus comprising:

a transmission section disposed at a predetermined position, the transmission section that transmits information containing position information;

a portable reception section that receives the information, which contains the position information and which is transmitted from the transmission section;

a portable voice detection section integrated with the reception section, the voice detection section that detects voice; and

a storage section that stores the position information extracted from the received information and voice-related information derived from the voice detected by the voice detection section, as a history.

11. An activity history record apparatus comprising:

a transmitter disposed at a predetermined position, the transmitter that transmits information containing position information; and

a portable receiver that receives the information from the transmitter, wherein;

the receiver comprises;

a reception section that receives the information;

a voice detection section that detects voice;

a storage section that stores the position information extracted from the received information and voice-related information derived from the voice detected by the voice detection section, as a history; and

an analysis section that analyzes the history.

13. An activity history record method comprising:

receiving information containing position information transmitted from a transmitter placed at a predetermined position;

detecting voice; and

storing the position information extracted from the information and voice-related information derived from the detected voice as a history.

14. A computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process for recording an activity history, the process comprising:

receiving information containing position information transmitted from a transmitter placed at a predetermined position;

detecting voice; and

storing the position information extracted from the information and voice-related information derived from the detected voice as a history.

15. A computer data signal embodied in a carrier wave for enabling a computer to perform a process for recording an activity history, the process comprising:

receiving information containing position information transmitted from a transmitter placed at a predetermined position;

detecting voice; and

storing the position information extracted from the information and voice-related information derived from the detected voice as a history.
