wherein the controller acquires position information of the wearable device corresponding to the detection time of the at least one default event, further generates event map information in which the acquired position information is superimposed on map data, and records the event map information on the recorder.

4. The wearable device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a sound collector that collects sounds around the user,

wherein the controller determines whether the at least one default event has occurred based on the information regarding motion of the user acquired by the motion sensor and sounds collected by the sound collector during recording of the captured video of the subject.

5. The wearable device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a communicator that performs communication with an external sensor acquiring information regarding an activity amount of the user,

wherein the controller determines whether the at least one default event has occurred based on the information regarding motion of the user acquired by the motion sensor and information regarding an activity amount of the user received from the external sensor during recording of the captured video of the subject.

6. A wearable device system comprising:

a wearable camera that is able to be worn or carried by a user; and

a server that is communicably connected to the wearable camera,

wherein the wearable camera:

captures a video of a subject on a front side of the user and records the captured video on a recorder,

acquires information regarding motion of the user during recording of the captured video of the subject, and

transmits the acquired information regarding motion of the user to the server,

wherein the server:

receives the information regarding motion of the user transmitted from the wearable camera,

determines whether at least one default event has occurred based on the received information regarding motion of the user, and

transmits an instruction for generating event list information in which a detection time of the least one default event is associated with information regarding the at least one default event to the wearable camera according to determination that the at least one default event has occurred, and

wherein the wearable camera:

receives the instruction for generating the event list information transmitted from the server, and

generates the event list information in response to the received instruction for generating the event list information, and records the generated event list information on the recorder in association with the captured video of the subject.

7. The wearable camera system of claim 6 ,

wherein the wearable camera:

transmits the captured video of the subject recorded on the recorder and the event list information to the server in association with each other, and

wherein the server:

receives the captured video of the subject and the event list information transmitted from the wearable camera, and

records the captured video of the subject and the event list information on a second recorder in association with each other.

8. The wearable camera system of claim 7 , wherein the server:

extracts at least one captured video in which the at least one default event which is a target of a retrieval operation is detected from the second recorder in response to the retrieval operation on the information regarding the at least one default event, and displays a retrieval result screen on which a thumbnail image corresponding to the extracted captured video is displayed, on a display.

9. The wearable camera system of claim 8 , wherein the server:

displays the retrieval result screen including a reproduction button for the at least one extracted captured video on the display, and displays a watching screen for the captured video which is a target of a designation operation on the display in response to the designation operation on the reproduction button.

10. The wearable camera system of claim 9 , wherein the server:

displays the watching screen including a second reproduction button for a captured video corresponding to a detection time of at least one event detected in the captured video which is a target of the designation operation on the display.

11. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a recorder on which captured videos in wearable cameras respectively worn or carried by a plurality of users, and event list information including each detection time of a plurality of types of default events detected during recording of the captured videos and information regarding each of the events are recorded in association with the wearable cameras;

a retrieval processor that retrieves captured videos of an incident gaining attention from the captured videos recorded on the recorder in response to entry of a retrieval condition; and

a display controller that displays a retrieval result screen including a list of a plurality of the captured videos extracted through the retrieval and a predetermined icon on a monitor,

wherein the display controller displays a video reproduction screen including the captured videos associated with each of the wearable cameras and the event list information corresponding to the captured videos on the monitor in response to a selection operation on the predetermined icon.

12. The information processing apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the display controller displays all of the captured videos in the video reproduction screen switched to a captured video at a detection time of a selected event based on a selection operation in response to the selection operation on the event included in any event list information in the video reproduction screen.

13. The information processing apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the display controller displays a simultaneous reproduction icon for simultaneously reproducing all of the captured videos in the video reproduction screen on the video reproduction screen, and simultaneously reproduces and displays captured videos at the detection time of the selected event in response to a selection operation on the simultaneous reproduction icon.

14. The information processing apparatus of claim 11 , wherein, in response to the selection operation on any of the captured videos in the video reproduction screen, the display controller displays a first icon for displaying a selected captured video based on the selection operation switched to a captured video at a time point going back by a predetermined period, and a second icon for displaying the selected captured video switched to a captured video at a time point at which a predetermined period elapses, to be superimposed on the selected captured video.

15. The information processing apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the display controller displays the selected event to be able to be identified compared with the other default events which are not targets of the selection operation.
