Information processing apparatus and method
First Claim
1. An information processing apparatus for detecting, from time-sequential information continuously supplied for a given period of time, associated information regarding a time at which a piece of information satisfying a predetermined condition is supplied within the given period of time, the information processing apparatus comprising:
- dividing means for dividing the time-sequential information into a plurality of temporally successive information units at predetermined time intervals;
feature value detecting means for temporally successively detecting feature values of the plurality of temporally successive information units; and
change-information detecting means for storing the feature values temporally successively detected by the feature value detecting means for a predetermined period of time and detecting a plurality of temporally successive pieces of feature-value-change information on the basis of the stored feature values and a current feature value detected by the feature value detecting means,wherein the change-information detecting means outputs the plurality of temporally successive pieces of feature-value-change information in sequence to output time-sequential associated information as the associated information.

Abstract
An information processing apparatus detects, from time-sequential information continuously supplied for a given period of time, associated information regarding a time at which a piece of information satisfying a predetermined condition is supplied within the given period of time. A dividing section divides the time-sequential information into a plurality of temporally successive information units at predetermined time intervals. A feature value detecting section temporally successively detects feature values of the plurality of temporally successive information units. A change-information detecting section stores the temporally successively detected feature values for a predetermined period of time, and detects a plurality of temporally successive pieces of feature-value-change information on the basis of the stored feature values and a currently detected feature value. The change-information detecting section outputs the plurality of temporally successive pieces of feature-value-change information in sequence to output time-sequential associated information as the associated information.
