Abstract

There is provided an information processing apparatus including a processing circuit configured to receive an action recognition information which is determined on the basis of sensing information of a user associated with a position information of the user, the action recognition information indicating an action of the user related to structure or equipment of a building has occurred, and associate the structure or equipment of the building with the position information on the basis of the action recognition information.

Claims

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a processing circuit configured to

receive an action recognition information which is determined on the basis of sensing information of a user associated with a position information of the user, the action recognition information indicating an action of the user related to structure or equipment of a building has occurred, and

associate the structure or equipment of the building with the position information on the basis of the action recognition information.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the position information is determined by analyzing the sensing information.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the sensing information includes a detection value obtained by a motion sensor.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3,

wherein the motion sensor includes an acceleration sensor, and

wherein, in a case where a detection value obtained by the acceleration sensor shows small acceleration variance and a specific pattern in acceleration change in a gravity direction, the action recognition information indicates that an action of the user related to an elevator has occurred.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3,

wherein the sensing information further includes a detection value obtained by a pressure sensor,

wherein the motion sensor includes an acceleration sensor, and

wherein, in a case where it is indicated that the user is walking on the basis of the detection value obtained by the acceleration sensor and it is indicated that the user is moving in a gravity direction on the basis of the detection value obtained by the pressure sensor, the action recognition information indicates that an action of the user related to a staircase has occurred.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the processing circuit is further configured to generate a map on the basis of the position information and information of the structure or equipment of the building associated with the position information.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 6,

wherein the generated map is divided using a position associated with the structure or equipment of the building as a reference.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the processing circuit is further configured to correct the position information using a position associated with the structure or equipment of the building as a reference.

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the structure or equipment of the building is associated with a function of raising or lowering a position of the user.

10. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the structure or equipment of the building is associated with a gateway.

11. The information processing apparatus according to claim 10,

wherein the gateway is a door.

12. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the action recognition information indicates a state of beginning or ending an ascent or descent.

13. The information processing apparatus according to claim 12,

wherein the ascent or descent is by way of an elevator, an escalator, or a stairs.

14. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the action recognition information indicates a state of an opening or closing of a door.

15. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the processing circuit is further configured to acquire the position information of the user.

16. An information processing method comprising:

receiving an action recognition information which is determined on the basis of sensing information of a user associated with a position information of the user, the action recognition information indicating an action of the user related to structure or equipment of a building has occurred; and

associating the structure or equipment of the building with the position information on the basis of the action recognition information.

17. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having embodied thereon a program, which when executed by a computer causes the computer to execute an information processing method, the method comprising:

determining an action recognition information which is generated on the basis of sensing information of a user associated with a position information of the user, the action recognition information indicating an action of the user related to structure or equipment of a building has occurred, and

associating the structure or equipment of the building with the position information on the basis of the action recognition information.
