Private information storage device and private information management device
First Claim
1. A private information storage device comprising:
- at least one information acquisition component of the private information storage device comprising at least a camera for acquiring image information on an environment around a user experiencing an event and a microphone for acquiring audible information on the environment around the user experiencing the event;
at least one data recognition component for processing at least the image information and the audible information to obtain experience information pertinent to the event;
at least one private information adding component of the private information storage device for adding by the user private information, privately needed by the user, to said experience information, wherein the private information includes at least one evaluation value of a plurality of evaluation values assigned by the user to the experience information pertinent to the event experienced by the user and reflecting a degree of satisfaction of the user with the event;
at least one information inferring component of the private information storage device for generating predictive information inferable from said experience information and said private information comprising the at least one evaluation value; and

Abstract
The events experienced are stored automatically, so that the information of higher utility for a user may be taken out with responsiveness and efficiency higher than is possible with a technique of keyword retrieval over a network. An information registration unit 10 includes an information acquisition unit 11, for acquiring the empirical information, a private information adding unit 12, for adding the private information, a data recognition processing unit 13, for recognizing the acquired information, a data definition processing unit 14, for classifying the recognized data in accordance with the preset definitions, a data storage unit 15 for storage of the classified data, and a data processing unit 22 for generating the predictive information inferable from the empirical information and the private information. The information exploitation unit 30 includes an information acquisition unit 31, for acquiring the current state, a retrieval inputting unit 32, supplied with the retrieval conditions, a data recognition processing unit 33, for recognizing the acquired information, a retrieving unit 34, for extracting the information fitted to the retrieval conditions or the analogous information from the data storage unit 15, and an information presenting unit 35 for presenting the extracted information to the user.
