Abstract

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a terminal apparatus including an operator that receives information indicating a position in a body of a subject from a user, in which biological information corresponding to the position received by the operator is output on the basis of biological information obtained by a plurality of sensors of which positions are substantially fixedly maintained with respect to the body of the subject.

Claims (20)

1 . A terminal apparatus comprising:

an operator that receives information indicating a position in a body of a subject from a user, wherein

biological information corresponding to the position received by the operator is output on the basis of biological information obtained by a plurality of sensors of which positions are substantially fixedly maintained with respect to the body of the subject.

2 . The terminal apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

biological information in which biological information obtained by some sensors corresponding to the position received by the operator among the plurality of sensors is emphasized more than biological information obtained by other sensors is output.

3 . The terminal apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a signal processor that generates and outputs biological information in which biological information obtained from a direction including the position received by the operator is emphasized more than biological information obtained from another direction on the basis of biological information obtained by the plurality of sensors of which the positions are substantially fixedly maintained with respect to the body of the subject.

4 . The terminal apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a signal processor that generates and outputs biological information in which biological information having a region including the position received by the operator as a generation source is emphasized more than biological information having another region as a generation source on the basis of biological information obtained by the plurality of sensors of which the positions are substantially fixedly maintained with respect to the body of the subject.

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

a signal processor that, in a case where a sensor is present in a region including the position received by the operator, estimates and outputs biological information to be captured by the sensor on the basis of biological information obtained by the plurality of sensors of which the positions are substantially fixedly maintained with respect to the body of the subject.

6 . An information acquisition system comprising:

a holding tool; and

a terminal apparatus, wherein

the holding tool includes a holding tool main body and a plurality of sensors of which positions are substantially fixedly maintained in the holding tool main body,

the terminal apparatus includes an operator that receives information indicating a position in a body of a subject from a user, and

the terminal apparatus outputs biological information corresponding to the position received by the operator on the basis of biological information obtained by a plurality of sensors of which positions are maintained substantially fixedly with respect to the body of the subject.

7 . An information processing method of causing a computer provided with an operator that receives information indicating a position in a body of a subject from a user to execute:

receiving the information indicating the position in accordance with an operation of the user on the operator; and

outputting biological information corresponding to the position received by the operator on the basis of biological information obtained by a plurality of sensors of which positions are maintained substantially fixedly with respect to the body of the subject.
