Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a processor. The processor is configured to acquire, from a biometric potential acquired from a subject, first information representing a feeling of the subject and second information representing a movement of a body that the subject consciously takes, and output, in an associated form, the first information and the feeling of the subject pre-associated with the second information.

Claims (44)

1 . An information processing apparatus comprising a processor configured to

acquire, from a biometric potential acquired from a subject, first information representing a feeling of the subject and second information representing a movement of a body that the subject consciously takes, and

output, in an associated form, the first information and a feeling of the subject pre-associated with the second information.

2 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to acquire an electroencephalogram of the subject as the first information from the bioelectric potential and acquire a myoelectric potential waveform of the subject as the second information from the bioelectric potential.

3 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the processor is configured to

compare a model waveform of a myoelectric potential responsive to the movement of the body with the myoelectric potential waveform of the subject, and

associate the electroencephalogram of the subject in a time band during which the myoelectric potential waveform having a similarity of a predetermined value or above to the model waveform appears with a feeling of the subject pre-associated with the model waveform having the similarity of the predetermined value or above to the myoelectric potential waveform.

4 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the processor is configured to,

if a number of analysis results that are records of association between the electroencephalogram of the subject and the feeling of the subject that is pre-associated with the movement represented by the model waveform is equal to or above a predetermined number,

associate the electroencephalogram of the user with the feeling of the subject using the analysis results without acquiring the myoelectric potential waveform of the subject from the bioelectric potential.

5 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the model waveform is the myoelectric potential waveform that is responsive to the movement of the body and is acquired from the subject.

6 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the model waveform is the myoelectric potential waveform that is responsive to the movement of the body and is acquired from the subject.

7 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the processor is configured to compare the myoelectric potential waveform of the subject with the model waveform of the myoelectric potential responsive to the movement of the body after a noise component is removed from the bioelectric potential.

8 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the processor is configured to compare the myoelectric potential waveform of the subject with the model waveform of the myoelectric potential responsive to the movement of the body after a noise component is removed from the bioelectric potential.

9 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the processor is configured to compare the myoelectric potential waveform of the subject with the model waveform of the myoelectric potential responsive to the movement of the body after a noise component is removed from the bioelectric potential.

10 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the processor is configured to compare the myoelectric potential waveform of the subject with the model waveform of the myoelectric potential responsive to the movement of the body after a noise component is removed from the bioelectric potential.

11 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the feeling of the subject pre-associated with the second information includes an operation related to association of the feeling of the subject, and

wherein the processor is configured to,

if the second information is associated with the operation associated with the association of the feeling,

associate the feeling of the subject with the first information in accordance with contents of the operation associated with the second information.

12 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the feeling of the subject pre-associated with the second information includes an operation related to association of the feeling of the subject, and

wherein the processor is configured to,

if the second information is associated with the operation associated with the association of the feeling,

associate the feeling of the subject with the first information in accordance with contents of the operation associated with the second information.

13 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the feeling of the subject pre-associated with the second information includes an operation related to association of the feeling of the subject, and

wherein the processor is configured to, if the second information is associated with the operation associated with the association of the feeling, associate the feeling of the subject with the first information in accordance with contents of the operation associated with the second information.

14 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the feeling of the subject pre-associated with the second information includes an operation related to association of the feeling of the subject, and

wherein the processor is configured to, if the second information is associated with the operation associated with the association of the feeling, associate the feeling of the subject with the first information in accordance with contents of the operation associated with the second information.

15 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the feeling of the subject pre-associated with the second information includes an operation related to association of the feeling of the subject, and

wherein the processor is configured to, if the second information is associated with the operation associated with the association of the feeling, associate the feeling of the subject with the first information in accordance with contents of the operation associated with the second information.

16 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the feeling of the subject pre-associated with the second information includes an operation related to association of the feeling of the subject, and

wherein the processor is configured to, if the second information is associated with the operation associated with the association of the feeling, associate the feeling of the subject with the first information in accordance with contents of the operation associated with the second information.

17 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the processor is configured to,

if the contents of the operation associated with the second information represent cancelling of the feeling,

cancel the association performed, prior to the operation, between the feeling of the subject and the first information.

18 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the processor is configured to,

if the contents of the operation associated with the second information represent a recovery from forgetting to express the feeling,

associate the feeling of the subject, acquired from the second information subsequent to the operation, with the first information during a period prior to the operation.

19 . An information processing apparatus comprising processors means for:

acquiring, from a biometric potential acquired from a subject, first information representing a feeling of the subject and second information representing a movement of a body that the subject consciously takes; and

outputting, in an associated form, the first information and the feeling of the subject pre-associated with the second information.

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

acquiring, from a biometric potential acquired from a subject, first information representing a feeling of the subject and second information representing a movement of a body that the subject consciously takes; and

outputting, in an associated form, the first information and the feeling of the subject pre-associated with the second information.
