According to one embodiment, an information processing apparatus includes an acquisition module, a feature calculator and a blood pressure value calculator. The acquisition module is configured to acquire a basic first attribute of a user, a second attribute related to a physique of the user, a third attribute related to a circulatory organ of the user, and a biological signal related to a living body of the user. The feature calculator is configured to calculate a feature in the biological signal. The blood pressure value calculator is configured to calculate a blood pressure value of the user, based on the first attribute, the second attribute, the third attribute, and the feature.

According to one embodiment, a sleep sensor which is attached to a user who is sleeping when it is to be used is provided. The sleep sensor includes a first detector, an estimation module, a second detector and a control module. The first detector is configured to detect an acceleration signal representing acceleration that is obtained from the sleep sensor. The estimation module is configured to estimate the user's body position based on the detected acceleration signal. The second detector is configured to detect a signal for estimating a state other than the user's body position. The control module is configured to operate the second detector when the estimated user's body position is at least one of predefined body positions.

According to one embodiment, an information provision system including a biological sensor device including a sensor and an information transmitting terminal communicably connected to the biological sensor device is provided. The information transmitting terminal includes a detector. The detector detects an action of the user. The biological sensor device includes an obtaining module. The obtaining module obtains, when the action of the user is detected, biological data by driving the sensor during a measurement period included in a measurement information in association with the action.

According to one embodiment, a respiratory measurement module measures a first signal related to a respiratory fluctuation of the user. A body movement measurement module measures a second signal related to a movement of a trunk of the user. A respiration detector detects whether or not the user is in a respiratory arrest state, based on the measured first signal measured. A body movement detector detects whether or not the trunk of the user is moving, based on the measured second signal. An estimation module estimates a respiratory state of the user, based on a detection result by the respiration detector and a detection result by the body movement detector. An output module outputs respiratory state information indicating the estimated respiratory state.

According to one embodiment, a phrase similarity is reduced when a common genre characteristic word is included in a program of interest interested by a user and a similar phrase program including the same phrase. A genre similarity is increased when a common genre characteristic word is included in the program of interest and a similar genre program including the same genre as the program of interest. The similar phrase program is presented based on the phrase similarity, and the similar genre program is presented based on the genre similarity.
