Abstract

There is provided a content reproduction apparatus including a content reproduction unit for reproducing content, a habit detection unit for detecting a reproduction habit regarding content that uses the content reproduction unit, and an abnormality determination unit for determining there is an abnormality, in a case a reproduction action estimated from the reproduction habit detected by the habit detection unit is not carried out.

Claims

1-17. -17. (canceled)

18. An information processing apparatus, comprising:

circuitry configured to

receive position information of the position of a first terminal of a first user,

receive history information of the first user,

determine and store an activity pattern based on the history information according to the position information,

determine a change of current activity pattern with respect to the stored activity pattern, and

provide an information based on the change to a second terminal of a second user.

19. The information processing apparatus of claim 18, wherein the activity pattern is a behavior pattern of the user.

20. The information processing apparatus of claim 18, wherein the activity pattern is a purchase pattern of the user.

21. The information processing apparatus of claim 18, wherein the information that is provided to the second terminal is an abnormality indication, indicating a change in the user'"'"'s activity pattern that exceeds a predetermined threshold.

22. A method of providing predetermined information to a terminal, comprising:

obtaining position information of the position of a first terminal of a first user,

obtaining history information of the first user,

determining and storing an activity pattern based on the history information according to the position information,

determining a change of current activity pattern with respect to the stored activity pattern, and

providing the predetermined information to a second terminal of a second user based on the determined change.

23. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium on which is recorded instructions that, when read by a processor, cause the processor to:

receive position information of the position of a first terminal of a first user,

receive history information of the first user,

determine and store an activity pattern based on the history information according to the position information,

determine a change of current activity pattern with respect to the stored activity pattern, and

provide an information based on the change to a second terminal of a second user.
