Abstract

An action notification device acquires uttered voice data indicating an action of a user and being uttered by the user; detects a moving motion of the user; detects a stationary motion of the user; determines whether a predetermined time has elapsed in a state where the user is stationary; and notifies the user of contents of the action of the user based on the uttered voice data when it is determined that the predetermined time has elapsed in the state where the user is stationary.

Claims (39)

1. An information processing method comprising, by a computer:

acquiring uttered voice data indicating an action of a user and being uttered by the user;

detecting a moving motion of the user;

detecting a stationary motion of the user;

determining whether a predetermined time has elapsed in a state where the user is stationary;

notifying the user of contents of the action of the user based on the uttered voice data when it is determined that the predetermined time has elapsed in the state where the user is stationary;

acquiring ambient voice data;

storing the voice data in a memory; and

detecting a predetermined motion of the user,

wherein the acquiring the uttered voice data includes, when the predetermined motion of the user is detected, extracting, from the voice data stored in the memory, voice data uttered by the user within a predetermined period including a time point at which the predetermined motion of the user is detected as the uttered voice data.

2. The information processing method according to claim 1 , wherein the predetermined motion is a standing motion of the user.

3. The information processing method according to claim 1 , wherein the predetermined motion is the moving motion of the user.

4. The information processing method according to claim 1 , wherein the notifying the user of the contents of the action includes causing a speaker to output the uttered voice data.

5. The information processing method according to claim 1 , wherein the notifying the user of the contents of the action includes converting the uttered voice data into text data and causing a display unit to display the converted text data.

6. The information processing method according to claim 1 , further comprising determining whether the uttered voice data is uttered voice data to be notified to the user,

wherein the notifying the user of the contents of the action includes notifying the user of the contents of the action of the user based on the uttered voice data when it is determined that the predetermined time has elapsed in the state where the user is stationary and when it is determined that the uttered voice data is the uttered voice data to be notified to the user.

7. The information processing method according to claim 1 , wherein

the detecting the moving motion includes detecting the moving motion of the user by using an output waveform from an acceleration sensor, and

the detecting the stationary motion includes detecting the stationary motion of the user by using the output waveform from the acceleration sensor.

8. An information processing device comprising:

an acquisition unit configured to acquire uttered voice data indicating an action of a user and being uttered by the user;

a moving motion detection unit configured to detect a moving motion of the user;

a stationary motion detection unit configured to detect a stationary motion of the user;

a determination unit configured to determine whether a predetermined time has elapsed in a state where the user is stationary;

a notification unit configured to notify the user of contents of the action of the user based on the uttered voice data when it is determined that the predetermined time has elapsed in the state where the user is stationary;

a microphone configured to acquire ambient voice data;

a memory configured to store the voice data; and

a detector configured to detect a predetermined motion of the user,

wherein the acquisition unit is configured to, when the predetermined motion of the user is detected, extract, from the voice data stored in the memory, voice data uttered by the user within a predetermined period including a time point at which the predetermined motion of the user is detected as the uttered voice data.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium recording an information processing program for causing a computer to execute:

acquiring uttered voice data indicating an action of a user and being uttered by the user;

detecting a moving motion of the user;

detecting a stationary motion of the user;

determining whether a predetermined time has elapsed in a state where the user is stationary;

notifying the user of contents of the action of the user based on the uttered voice data when it is determined that the predetermined time has elapsed in the state where the user is stationary;

acquiring ambient voice data;

storing the voice data in a memory; and

detecting a predetermined motion of the user,

wherein the acquiring the uttered voice data includes, when the predetermined motion of the user is detected, extracting, from the voice data stored in the memory, voice data uttered by the user within a predetermined period including a time point at which the predetermined motion of the user is detected as the uttered voice data.
