Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a bio-information obtaining unit configured to obtain bio-information of a subject; a kinetic-information obtaining unit configured to obtain kinetic information of the subject; and a control unit configured to determine an expression or movement of an avatar on the basis of the bio-information obtained by the bio-information obtaining unit and the kinetic information obtained by the kinetic-information obtaining unit and to perform a control operation so that the avatar with the determined expression or movement is displayed.

Claims (39)

1. An information processing method, the method comprising:

determining an emotional state of a subject based on at least one of a kinetic information and a biometric information;

determining a figure of a person corresponding to the emotional state of the subject;

displaying the figure of a person to another person; and

displaying time information on a map.

2. The information processing method of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises controlling display of the figure of a person on the map.

3. The information processing method of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises controlling display, on the map, of the figure of a person at a position corresponding to a position of the subject.

4. The information processing method of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises displaying, on the map, a second figure of a person representing a second subject different than the subject, wherein the second figure of a person indicates an emotional state of the second subject.

5. The information processing method of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises displaying, on the map, the time information regarding the subject.

6. The information processing method of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises controlling provision of state history of the subject.

7. The information processing method of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:

determining an updated emotional state of the subject based on at least one of an updated kinetic information and an updated biometric information;

determining a second figure of a person corresponding to the updated emotional state of the subject; and

displaying the second figure of a person to the another person.

8. An information processing apparatus comprising:

circuitry configured to:

determine an emotional state of a subject based on at least one of a kinetic information and a biometric information;

determine a figure of a person corresponding to the emotional state of the subject;

display the figure of a person to another person; and

display time information on a map.

9. The information processing apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to control display of the figure of a person on the map.

10. The information processing apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to control display, on the map, of the figure of a person at a position corresponding to a position of the subject.

11. The information processing apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to display, on the map, a second figure of a person representing a second subject different than the subject, wherein the second figure of a person indicates an emotional state of the second subject.

12. The information processing apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to display, on the map, the time information regarding the subject.

13. The information processing apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to control provision of state history of the subject.

14. The information processing apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to:

determine an updated emotional state of the subject based on at least one of an updated kinetic information and an updated biometric information;

determine a second figure of a person corresponding to the updated emotional state of the subject; and

display the second figure of a person to the another person.

15. A non-transitory computer readable medium having encoded thereon executable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, perform a method comprising:

determining an emotional state of a subject based on at least one of a kinetic information and a biometric information;

determining a figure of a person corresponding to the emotional state of the subject;

displaying the figure of a person to another person; and

displaying time information on a map.

16. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the method further comprises controlling display of the figure of a person on the map.

17. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the method further comprises controlling display, on the map, of the figure of a person at a position corresponding to a position of the subject.

18. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the method further comprises displaying, on the map, a second figure of a person representing a second subject different than the subject, wherein the second figure of a person indicates an emotional state of the second subject.

19. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the method further comprises displaying, on the map, the time information regarding the subject.

20. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the method further comprises controlling provision of state history of the subject.
