Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes circuitry that analyzes a motion of a user by determining a start time and an end time of a motion session from characteristics of motion data regarding the motion of the user. The motion data is indicative of a type of sports-related motion performed by the user.

Claims

1. An information processing method, comprising:

generating vibration information indicating an impact of a type of a detected user motion;

analyzing a result based on the vibration information; and

outputting the result,

wherein the outputting of the result corresponds to at least one of displaying at least one image on a display screen or outputting an audio from a speaker.

2. The information processing method of claim 1, further comprising receiving motion data from a sensor device.

3. The information processing method of claim 1, wherein the result is displayed in one of a wipe-in manner or a wipe-out manner on the display screen.

4. The information processing method of claim 1, wherein the result is displayed as a message on the display screen.

5. The information processing method of claim 1, further comprising:

generating a plurality of vibration waveform images based on the impact of the type of the detected user motion; and

displaying the plurality of vibration waveform images on the display screen.

6. The information processing method of claim 1, wherein impact position information of the impact is displayed on the display screen.

7. The information processing method of claim 1, wherein impact position information of the impact is outputted as the audio from the speaker.

8. The information processing method of claim 1, wherein a user icon is displayed on the display screen.

9. The information processing method of claim 1, wherein the type of the detected user motion includes at least one of a throwing an object, a rolling of the object, a striking of the object, or a kicking of the object.

10. An information processing apparatus, comprising:

a display screen;

a speaker; and

circuitry configured to;

generate vibration information indicating an impact of a type of a user detected motion;

analyze a result based on the vibration information; and

output the result, wherein the output of the result corresponds to at least one of display of at least one image on the display screen or output of an audio from the speaker.

11. The information processing apparatus of claim 10, wherein the circuitry is further configured to receive motion data from a sensor device.

12. The information processing apparatus of claim 10, wherein the information processing apparatus is a smartphone.

13. The information processing apparatus of claim 12, wherein the circuitry is further configured to execute a software application of the smartphone.

14. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to execute operations, the operations comprising:

generating vibration information indicating an impact of a type of a user detected motion;

analyzing a result based on the vibration information; and

outputting the result,

wherein the outputting of the result corresponds to at least one of displaying at least one image on a display screen or outputting an audio from a speaker.
