Abstract

Provided is an information processing device including an acquisition unit configured to acquire load information based on a load applied to a load measurement device from a sole of a user and a feature amount extracting unit configured to extract a feature amount indicating weight of the user by time-integrating time series data included in the load information.

Claims (30)

1. An information processing device comprising:

a memory configured to store instructions; and

a processor configured to execute the instructions to:

acquire load information based on a load applied to a load measurement device from a sole of a user; and

identify one walking cycle from time series data included in the load information; and

extract a feature amount indicating weight of the user by time-integrating the time series data included in the load information by an integration interval of the one walking cycle.

2. The information processing device according to claim 1 ,

wherein first time series data measured by a first load measurement device provided on the sole and second time series data measured by a second load measurement device provided between a toe of the sole and the first load measurement device are acquired, and

wherein the feature amount is extracted based on the first time series data and the second time series data.

3. The information processing device according to claim 2 , wherein the feature amount is extracted based on third time series data acquired by adding the first time series data and the second time series data.

4. The information processing device according to claim 2 ,

wherein the first load measurement device is provided between a heel and a Lisfranc joint of a foot of the user, and

wherein the second load measurement device is provided between a toe and the Lisfranc joint.

5. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the feature amount is extracted further based on at least one of a peak and a dip included in the time series data.

6. The information processing device according to claim 1 ,

wherein time series data of a load distribution of the sole measured by the load measurement device is acquired, and

wherein the feature amount is extracted based on the time series data of the load distribution.

7. A weight estimation device configured to estimate weight of the user based on the feature amount extracted by the information processing device according to claim 1 .

8. A weight estimation system comprising:

the information processing device according to claim 1 ;

a weight estimation device configured to estimate weight of the user based on the feature amount; and

the load measurement device.

9. An information processing method comprising:

acquiring load information based on a load applied to a load measurement device from a sole of a user; and

identifying one walking cycle from time series data included in the load information; and

extracting a feature amount indicating weight of the user by time-integrating the time series data included in the load information by an integration interval of the one walking cycle.

10. A non-transitory storage medium storing a program that causes a computer to perform:

acquiring load information based on a load applied to a load measurement device from a sole of a user; and

identifying one walking cycle from time series data included in the load information; and

extracting a feature amount indicating weight of the user by time-integrating the time series data included in the load information by an integration interval of the one walking cycle.
