Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes an acquisition unit, an association unit, and a guide unit. The acquisition unit acquires biological information of a user. The association unit associates the acquired biological information with a specific state of the user. The guide unit guides the user to the specific state. A reference to be used for association with the specific state by the association unit is calibrated by using the biological information, the biological information being acquired from the user who is guided to the specific state by the guide unit.

Claims (33)

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a sensor configured to acquire biological information of a user, wherein the biological information is information generated by the user's body; and

a user terminal configured to:

associate the acquired biological information with a specific state of the user, and

guide the user to the specific state,

wherein a reference to be used for association with the specific state by the user terminal is calibrated by using the biological information, the biological information being acquired from the user who is guided to the specific state by the user terminal, the biological information being an average amplitude value of brain waves for a certain period of time.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the user terminal continuously guides the user to the specific state until calibration of the reference is completed.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the specific state is a plurality of specific states and the user terminal sequentially guides the user to the plurality of specific states, and

wherein the reference is a plurality of references and, for each of the plurality of specific states, a respective reference of the plurality of references to be used for association with a respective one of the plurality of specific states by the user terminal is calibrated.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the plurality of specific states include a first specific state and a second specific state, and

wherein the user terminal starts guiding the user to the second specific state after a certain period of time has elapsed after calibration of a reference to be used for association with the first specific state was completed.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the user terminal initially guides the user to a reference state for the plurality of specific states.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the reference state is a calm state of mind experienced by the user.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the user terminal associates the acquired biological information with another specific state different from the reference state among the plurality of specific states by using a difference between a reference to be used for association with the reference state and a reference to be used for association with the other specific state.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein when the plurality of specific states include a specific state for which the reference is to be calibrated, re-calibration is performed only for the specific state.

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the user terminal guides the user to the specific state when a movement of the user satisfies a predetermined movement condition.

10. The information processing apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the predetermined movement condition is a condition that limits the movement of the user, and

wherein when the movement of the user does not satisfy the predetermined movement condition, the user is prompted to make a smaller movement.

11. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the user terminal guides the user to the specific state after confirmation that the user terminal correctly acquires the biological information.

12. The information processing apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein when the user terminal does not confirm the biological information is correctly acquired, the user is notified that acquisition of the biological information is not confirmed.

13. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the biological information is potential information for measuring brain waves.

14. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the specific state is a specific feeling experienced by the user.

15. An information processing system comprising:

a sensor configured to acquire biological information of a user, wherein the biological information is information generated by the user's body; and

a user terminal configured to:

associate the acquired biological information with a specific state of the user;

guide the user to the specific state; and

calibrate a reference to be used for association with the specific state by the user terminal by using the biological information, the biological information being acquired from the user who is guided to the specific state by the user terminal, and the biological information being an average amplitude value of brain waves for a certain period of time.

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

acquiring biological information of a user, wherein the biological information is information generated by the user's body;

associating the acquired biological information with a specific state of the user;

guiding the user to the specific state; and

calibrating a reference to be used for association with the specific state, by using the biological information, the biological information being acquired from the user who is guided to the specific state, and the biological information being an average amplitude value of brain waves for a certain period of time.
