Abstract

[Object] To propose an information processing device capable of properly notifying a current state of a wearer on the basis of a result of determining whether or not the wearer is safe. [Solution] Provided is the information processing device including: a determination result acquisition unit configured to acquire a determination result of a safety state of a user carrying a sensing unit for sensing a peripheral environment; and a frequency determination unit configured to determine a processing frequency for recording information based on the sensing, on a basis of the determination result acquired by the determination result acquisition unit.

Claims

1. An information processing device comprising:

a determination result acquisition unit configured to acquire a determination result of a safety state of a user carrying a sensing unit for sensing a peripheral environment; and

a frequency determination unit configured to determine a processing frequency for recording information based on the sensing, on a basis of the determination result acquired by the determination result acquisition unit.

2. The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein

the sensing unit includes an imaging unit configured to capture an image, and

the frequency determination unit determines an imaging frequency at which the imaging unit captures an image, as the processing frequency.

3. The information processing device according to claim 2, wherein

the frequency determination unit determines the imaging frequency on a basis of a position of the sensing unit.

4. The information processing device according to claim 2, wherein

the frequency determination unit determines the imaging frequency on a basis of a schedule of the user carrying the sensing unit.

5. The information processing device according to claim 2, wherein

the frequency determination unit determines the imaging frequency on a basis of sensing data acquired by the sensing unit.

6. The information processing device according to claim 5, wherein

the frequency determination unit determines the imaging frequency on a basis of a content of the image captured by the imaging unit.

7. The information processing device according to claim 6, wherein

the frequency determination unit determines the imaging frequency on a basis of a person included in the image captured by the imaging unit.

8. The information processing device according to claim 7, wherein

the frequency determination unit reduces the imaging frequency in a case where the person included in the image captured by the imaging unit is a person not registered in advance.

9. The information processing device according to claim 6, wherein

the frequency determination unit determines the imaging frequency on a basis of a content of a landscape included in the image captured by the imaging unit.

10. The information processing device according to claim 2, wherein

the frequency determination unit determines the imaging frequency on a basis of a remaining amount of a battery.

11. The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein

the sensing unit includes an imaging unit that captures an image, and

the frequency determination unit determines a communication frequency at which the information processing device communicates image information based on the imaging performed by the imaging unit with another device, as the processing frequency.

12. The information processing device according to claim 11, wherein

the frequency determination unit determines the communication frequency on a basis of sensing data acquired by the sensing unit.
