Abstract

There is provided an information processing apparatus, including a first information acquisition section which acquires priority action information, a second information acquisition section which acquires biological information related to a body clock of the user at a present time, a state setting section which sets an ideal state of the body clock corresponding to the priority action, a state estimation section which estimates a present state of the body clock at the present time, a third information acquisition section which acquires set action information related to a set action, and a display control section which displays a state of the body clock in the schedule on a display section.

Claims

1. An information processing apparatus, comprising:

a first information acquisition section which acquires priority action information associating a priority action of a user with a time when the priority action is performed;

a second information acquisition section which acquires biological information related to a body clock of the user at a present time;

a state setting section which sets an ideal state of the body clock corresponding to the priority action, based on the acquired priority action information;

a state estimation section which estimates a present state of the body clock at the present time, based on the acquired biological information;

a third information acquisition section which acquires set action information related to a set action that is included in a schedule of the user and is capable of being set at a given time; and

a display control section which displays a state of the body clock in the schedule on a display section, based on a target value for displacing a phase of the body clock of the present state to a phase of the ideal state and the acquired set action information.

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

a schedule generation section which generates a schedule associating the set action with a time when the set action is set, based on the target value and the set action information,

wherein the display control section displays the generated schedule on the display section.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2,

wherein the schedule generation section generates the schedule, based on information which prescribes a displacement of the phase of the body clock.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2,

wherein the schedule generation section generates the schedule, based on information which prescribes a time suitable for a predetermined action in the body clock.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2,

wherein the display control section displays, on the display section, a one week schedule table in which the time of the set action has been set.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the display control section displays a degree of deviation from the ideal state of the body clock in the schedule.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:

a target value setting section which sets the target value for displacing the phase of the body clock of the present state to the phase of the ideal state.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the biological information is information related to at least one of a deep body temperature, blood, or a hair root of the user.

9. An information processing method, comprising:

acquiring priority action information associating a priority action of a user with a time when the priority action is performed;

acquiring biological information related to a body clock of the user at a present time;

setting an ideal state of the body clock corresponding to the priority action, based on the acquired priority action information;

estimating a present state of the body clock at the present time, based on the acquired biological information;

acquiring set action information related to a set action that is included in a schedule of the user and is capable of being set at a given time; and

displaying a state of the body clock in the schedule on a display section, based on a target value for displacing a phase of the body clock of the present state to a phase of the ideal state and the acquired set action information.

10. A program for causing a computer to execute:

acquiring priority action information associating a priority action of a user with a time when the priority action is performed;

acquiring biological information related to a body clock of the user at a present time;

setting an ideal state of the body clock corresponding to the priority action, based on the acquired priority action information;

estimating a present state of the body clock at the present time, based on the acquired biological information;

acquiring set action information related to a set action that is included in a schedule of the user and is capable of being set at a given time; and

displaying a state of the body clock in the schedule on a display section, based on a target value for displacing a phase of the body clock of the present state to a phase of the ideal state and the acquired set action information.
