Wearable device
First Claim
1. A wearable device comprising:
- a same conversation group detection unit operable to request that each of a plurality of other wearable devices transmit a response including first audio information acquired by the other wearable devices;
a communication unit operable to receive the responses from the plurality of other wearable devices; and
an overlap rate calculation unit operable to calculate an overlap rate between (i) an utterance interval in second audio information acquired by said wearable device at the same time and location the first audio information is acquired by the other wearable devices and (ii) an utterance interval in the first audio information acquired by each of the other wearable devices and received by said communication unit, whereinsaid same conversation group detection unit is further operable to detect, from among the plurality of other wearable devices, a group-participant wearable device of the plurality of other wearable devices that belongs to a same conversation group as said wearable device, by using at least the calculated overlap rates.

Abstract
A wearable device is worn by a person participating in an event in which a plurality of other people are participating and wearing other wearable devices. The wearable device includes a request unit for transmitting a request signal to other wearable devices that are in a predetermined range, and receiving a response to the request signal from each of the other wearable devices, and a communication unit for determining, with use of the received responses, one or more of the other wearable devices to be a communication partner, and performing data communication with the determined one or more other wearable devices. The data received in the communication is data collected by the one or more other wearable devices determined to be communication partners, and the data is used as a profile component when creating a profile of the event.

14. A method used by a wearable device, comprising the steps of:
-
requesting that each of a plurality of other wearable devices transmit a response including first audio information acquired by the other wearable devices; receiving the responses from the plurality of other wearable devices; and calculating an overlap rate between (i) an utterance interval in second audio information acquired by the wearable device at the same time and location the first audio information is acquired by the other wearable devices and (ii) an utterance interval in the first audio information acquired and received by each of the other wearable devices, wherein with use of at least the calculated overlap rates, a group-participant wearable device that belongs to a same conversation group as the wearable device is detected from among the plurality of other wearable devices.
