Abstract

There is provided an information processing apparatus to more accurately specify a type of event that is defined based on the sensor information and corresponds to the action of the user, the information processing apparatus including: a data acquiring section configured to acquire sensing data generated due to an action of a target; and an event specifying section configured to specify an event corresponding to the action based on a pattern shown in the sensing data and a context of the action. Provided is an information processing method, including: sensing an action of a target; transmitting sensing data acquired by the sensing; and performing, by a processor of an information processing apparatus that receives the sensing data, a process of specifying an event corresponding to the action based on a pattern shown in the sensing data and a context of the action.

Claims

1. An information processing apparatus, comprising:

a data acquiring section configured to acquire sensing data generated due to an action of a target; and

an event specifying section configured to specify an event corresponding to the action based on a pattern shown in the sensing data and a context of the action.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the event specifying section selects the event corresponding to the action from a plurality of events associated with the pattern based on the context.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the action includes a sports play, and

wherein the event includes at least a play event specified by a rule of the sport.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the sensing data includes motion data.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the event specifying section specifies the event corresponding to the action based on the context before the action occurs.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 5,

wherein the event specifying section specifies the event corresponding to the action further based on the context after the action occurs.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the context is defined based on at least the sensing data.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 7,

wherein the event specifying section specifies the event corresponding to the action based on an event history before the action occurs.

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the context is defined based on data different from the sensing data.

10. The information processing apparatus according to claim 9,

wherein the sensing data includes motion data, and

wherein the context is defined based on a different type of sensing data from the motion data.

11. A recording medium having a program recorded thereon, the program causing a processor of an information processing apparatus to implement:

a data acquisition function of acquiring sensing data generated due to an action of a target; and

an event specifying function of specifying an event corresponding to the action based on a pattern shown in the sensing data and a context of the action.

12. An information processing method, comprising:

sensing an action of a target;

transmuting sensing data acquired by the sensing; and

performing, by a processor of an information processing apparatus that receives the sensing data, a process of specifying an event corresponding to the action based on a pattern shown in the sensing data and a context of the action.
