Abstract

There is provided an information processing apparatus including, a track list generation unit that generates a track list that is a list of track groups including at least a movement trajectory track generated from movement trajectory information containing position information and time information corresponding to the position information, and a display control unit that causes a display device to display a list screen including the track list.

Claims

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

circuitry configured to

generate a track list that is a list of track groups each including a movement trajectory track generated from movement trajectory information containing position information and time information corresponding to the position information, and

control a display device to display a list screen including the track list,

wherein the circuitry is further configured to control the display device to display a list screen in which the movement trajectory track is represented by a bar having a length according to a movement time, and

wherein the circuitry is further configured to determine each track group by dividing the movement trajectory information based on one of a distance range from a predetermined position and looping information regarding return to a starting place.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the circuitry is further configured to control display of a process-type list screen in which the track groups are arranged in time series based on the time information.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the process-type list screen includes information of a start time of each track.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3,

wherein the movement trajectory information is movement history information that is a history of position information,

wherein the track group includes a missing track indicating a missing part in acquisition of the position information, and

wherein the circuitry is further configured to control display of a process-type list screen shown in a format for distinguishing the missing track from other tracks.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the circuitry is further configured to control display of a normal list screen in which attribute data of the track group is shown in a table format.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 5, wherein the circuitry is further configured to perform switching between the normal list screen and the process-type list screen in accordance with switching instruction information for the list screen.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the circuitry is further configured to control display of a playback screen for a track selected among the tracks displayed in the list screen.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 5, wherein the circuitry is further configured to control display of the normal list screen, in which the track groups are sorted based on attribute data of the track groups.

11. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the circuitry is further configured to determine each track group by dividing the movement trajectory information based on the distance range from the predetermined position, and

wherein the dividing based on the distance range from the predetermined position includes detecting whether one or more pieces of position information of the movement trajectory information continuously is included in the distance range defined by a radius R from the predetermined position.

12. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the circuitry is further configured to determine each track group by dividing the movement trajectory information based on altitude information,

wherein the dividing the movement trajectory information based on the altitude information is based on peak information in the dividing.

13. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the circuitry is further configured to determine each track group by dividing the movement trajectory information based on looping information regarding return to the starting place,

wherein the dividing the movement trajectory information based on looping information regarding return to the starting place considers how soon the position returns to the starting point.

14. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the circuitry is further configured to determine each track group by dividing the movement trajectory information based on type of transportation,

wherein the dividing the movement trajectory information based on type of transportation is performed such that different types of transportation are grouped together.

15. The information processing apparatus according to claim 14, wherein the different types of transportation are one of via automobile, via train, via bicycle, via airplane and walking.

16. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the circuitry is further configured to determine each track group by dividing the movement trajectory information based on the altitude information.

9. An information processing method comprising:

generating a track list that is a list of track groups each including a movement trajectory track generated from movement trajectory information containing position information and time information corresponding to the position information; and

controlling a display device to display a list screen in which the movement trajectory track is represented by a bar having a length according to a movement time,

wherein the method further includes determining each track group by dividing the movement trajectory information based on one of a distance range from a predetermined position and looping information regarding return to a starting place.

10. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having a program recorded thereon, the program causing a computer to execute an information processing method, the information processing method comprising:

generating a track list that is a list of track groups each including a movement trajectory track generated from movement trajectory information containing position information and time information corresponding to the position information; and

controlling a display device to display a list screen in which the movement trajectory track is represented by a bar having a length according to a movement time,

wherein the method further includes determining each track group by dividing the movement trajectory information based on one of a distance range from a predetermined position and looping information regarding return to a starting place.
