Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a selection unit. The selection unit selects whether to calibrate biological information of a user in accordance with designation by the user. When the selection unit selects no calibration in accordance with designation by the user, the biological information is associated with a specific state of the user under a predetermined condition.

Claims (42)

1. An information processing apparatus for measuring biological information of a user, the information processing apparatus comprising:

a memory; and

a processor coupled with the memory and wherein, in response to the user selecting a first process of processing measured biological information of the user, the processor is configured to:

process a first measured biological information of the user,

associate the first measured biological information of the user with a specific state of the user by using a first reference biological information that is determined in a prior determination of reference biological information, and

provide an output of a completion notification indicating to the user that no determination of the first reference biological information is carried out in the first process,

wherein the specific state of the user is a specific feeling experienced by the user, and

wherein the prior determination of the reference biological information includes one or both of determining the first reference biological information or determining a range of the first reference biological information.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a measurement unit configured to acquire the first measured biological information of the user.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to confirm that the first measured biological information of the user is correctly acquired.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein when the processor has not confirmed that the first measured biological information of the user is correctly acquired, the processor is configured to cause a display to notify the user that acquisition of the first measured biological information is not confirmed.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein, in response to the user selecting a second process of processing measured biological information of the user, the processor is configured to:

determine a second reference biological information, wherein the second reference biological information determined in the second process.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein in response to the user selecting the second process, the processor further is configured to:

display a guide screen for guiding the user to a specific state during the second process, and

acquire a second measured biological information of the user as the user is being guided to the specific state by the guide screen.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the processor is further configured to determine the second reference biological information to be used for the association with the specific state.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the processor is further configured to determine the second reference biological information by utilizing a response to a question provided to the user.

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to determine the second reference biological information by adjusting a sensitivity with which the second measured biological information of the user is acquired.

10. The information processing apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the question provided to the user includes at least one of a question about a characteristic of the user or a question about a situation of use of the information processing apparatus.

11. The information processing apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the question provided to the user includes a question for identifying a skin type of the user.

12. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first measured biological information is measured brain waves.

13. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an ear pad or a headband configured to keep the information processing apparatus in contact with the user in such a manner that when the user wears the information processing apparatus, the user is movable.

14. The information processing apparatus according to claim 13 , wherein in response to the processor determining that a degree of contact between the user and the information processing apparatus is less than a predetermined level, the processor prompts the user to place the information processing apparatus in a closer contact with the user.

15. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to display an inquiry screen that inquires the user whether to perform the determination of the first reference biological information.

16. The information processing apparatus according to claim 15 , wherein the inquiry screen is displayed for the user to input a selection of the first process.

17. A method of executing a process for information processing using a program stored in a non-transitory computer readable medium, the method comprising:

in response to a user selecting a first process of processing measured biological information of the user:

acquiring a first measured biological information of the user;

associating the first measured biological information of the user with a specific state of the user by using first reference biological information, wherein the first reference biological information is determined in a prior determination of reference biological information, and

providing an output display of a completion notification to the user that no determination of the first reference biological information is carried out in the first process,

wherein the specific state of the user is a specific feeling experienced by the user, and

wherein the prior determination of the reference biological information includes one or both of determining the first reference biological information or determining a range of the first reference biological information, and

wherein the first process is performed in a device measuring biological information of the user.

18. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process for information processing, the process comprising:

in response to a user selecting a first process of processing measured biological information of the user:

acquiring a first measured biological information of the user;

associating the first measured biological information of the user with a specific state of the user by using first reference biological information, wherein the first reference biological information is determined in a prior determination of reference biological information, and

wherein the specific state of the user is a specific feeling experienced by the user, and

wherein the prior determination of the reference biological information includes one or both of determining the first reference biological information or determining a range of the first reference biological information, and

wherein the first process is performed in a device measuring biological information of the user.
