Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes: a preparation device configured to prepare information on a posture of a body; a myoelectric potential meter configured to measure a myoelectric potential from a surface of the body; and a processor configured to acquire the information on the posture prepared by the preparation device, acquire information on the myoelectric potential measured by the myoelectric potential meter, specify a movement of the body based on the acquired information on the posture, estimate a muscle activity state required for a muscle to implement the specified movement, and output information indicating a difference between (i) a muscle activity state determined based on the myoelectric potential and (ii) the estimated muscle activity state.

Claims (42)

1 . An information processing apparatus comprising:

a preparation device configured to prepare information on a posture of a body;

a myoelectric potential meter configured to measure a myoelectric potential from a surface of the body; and

a processor configured to

acquire the information on the posture prepared by the preparation device,

acquire information on the myoelectric potential measured by the myoelectric potential meter,

specify a movement of the body based on the acquired information on the posture,

estimate a muscle activity state required for a muscle to implement the specified movement, and

output information indicating a difference between (i) a muscle activity state determined based on the myoelectric potential and (ii) the estimated muscle activity state.

2 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the processor is configured to

estimate a myoelectric potential required for the muscle to implement the movement, and

display, in a graph form, a change with time of a difference between (i) the myoelectric potential indicated by the acquired information on the myoelectric potential and (ii) the estimated myoelectric potential.

3 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the processor is configured to output a timing at which the difference satisfies a predetermined condition.

4 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein

the processor is configured to output a timing at which the difference satisfies a predetermined condition.

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

an output device that is attachable to a part of a body of a user, the output device being configured to stimulate the part, wherein

the processor is configured to control the output device to stimulate a part corresponding to the muscle with a strength corresponding to a magnitude of the difference.

6 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , further comprising:

an output device that is attachable to a part of a body of a user, the output device being configured to stimulate the part, wherein

the processor is configured to control the output device to stimulate a part corresponding to the muscle with a strength corresponding to a magnitude of the difference.

7 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , further comprising:

an output device that is attachable to a part of a body of a user, the output device being configured to stimulate the part, wherein

the processor is configured to control the output device to stimulate a part corresponding to the muscle with a strength corresponding to a magnitude of the difference.

8 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 , further comprising:

an output device that is attachable to a part of a body of a user, the output device being configured to stimulate the part, wherein

the processor is configured to control the output device to stimulate a part corresponding to the muscle with a strength corresponding to a magnitude of the difference.

9 . An information processing apparatus comprising:

a processor configured to

acquire information on a posture of a body,

acquires information on a myoelectric potential on a surface of the body,

specify a movement of the body based on the acquired information on the posture,

estimate a muscle activity state required for a muscle to implement the specified movement, and

output information indicating a difference between (i) a muscle activity state determined based on the myoelectric potential and (ii) the estimated muscle activity state.

10 . A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program that causes a computer comprising a processor to execute information processing, the information processing comprising:

acquiring the information on a posture of a body;

acquiring information on a myoelectric potential measured from a surface of the body;

specifying a movement of the body based on the acquired information on the posture;

estimating a muscle activity state required for a muscle to implement the specified movement; and

outputting information indicating a difference between (i) a muscle activity state determined based on the myoelectric potential and (ii) the estimated muscle activity state.
