INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD, INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM, AND PROVIDING MEDIUM
First Claim
1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor; and
a memory device storing instructions which when executed by the at least one processor cause the information processing apparatus to;
receive first time information indicative of a first time, position information indicative of a physical position at the first time, and corresponding first attachment information;
create a virtual community space displaying the first attachment information with the first position information;
receive second time information indicative of a second time after the first time and corresponding second attachment information;
update the virtual community space to display the second attachment information as new information in relation to the first attachment information representative of a time passed between the first time and the second time; and
transmit the updated virtual community space to a second information processing apparatus via the communication device.

Abstract
The invention enables users to virtually attach information to situations in the real world, and also enables users to quickly and easily find out desired information. An IR sensor receives an IR signal transmitted from an IR beacon, and supplies the received signal to a sub-notebook PC. A CCD video camera takes in a visual ID from an object, and supplies the inputted visual ID to the sub-notebook PC. A user inputs, through a microphone, a voice to be attached to situations in the real world. The sub-notebook PC transmits position data, object data and voice data, which have been supplied to it, to a server through a communication unit. The transmitted data is received by the server via a wireless LAN. The server stores the received voice data in a database in correspondence to the position data and the object data.
