A measurement deviceincludes a light source that irradiates a subject with light, a drive control unit that intermittently drives the light source, a light receiving element that receives scattered light of the light from the subject and generates an electric signal, and an amplifier that amplifies the electric signal with an integration circuit.

Measurement device and measurement method

A configuration that analyzes reflection light of light emitted to a user face and executes both facial-expression analysis and biometric-signal analysis together is realized. The configuration has a light-receiving section that receives reflection light of light emitted to a user face, and a light-reception-signal analyzing section that analyzes a light-reception signal of the light-receiving section. The light-reception-signal analyzing section has a facial-expression analyzing section that analyzes user-skin-surface reflection light and generates facial-expression analysis information, and a biometric-signal analyzing section that analyzes subepidermal reflection light and generates bioanalysis information. The light-reception signal of the light-receiving section includes skin-surface reflection light and subepidermal-tissue reflection light, and the facial-expression analyzing section extracts a low frequency component from the light-reception signal, acquires the skin-surface reflection light, and executes facial-expression analysis. The biometric-signal analyzing section extracts a high frequency component from the light-reception signal, acquires the subepidermal-tissue reflection light, and executes a biometric-signal analysis process.

Information processing apparatus and information processing method

The present technology relates to an information processing device and a method of ventilating an information processing device, which are able to prevent getting sweaty and damp when the information processing device is worn. The information processing device is to be worn by a user and includes a main body portion having a contact surface that is brought into contact with a skin of the user, and a groove that crosses the contact surface. The present technology is able to be applied to a wearable device of a type such as a wrist-band type, an earphone type, a neckband type, an eyeglasses type, a watch type, a bracelet type, a neckless type, a headset type, or a head-mount type.

Information processing device, and method of ventilating information processing device

An information processing apparatus according to the present disclosure includes a fingerprint information acquisition unit that acquires fingerprint information, a determination unit that determines an action of a finger on the basis of the fingerprint information, and a processing unit that performs specified processing predetermined depending on the action on the basis of the determined action. This configuration makes it possible to perform a desired operation depending on the operation even with a compact apparatus, thereby enhancing user convenience.

Provided is an optical unit that radiates a coherent light such that the coherent light is incident in a target region of speckle image capturing in accordance with a pattern that includes a bright region and a dark region located uniformly in at least one direction in the target region. Provided is a measurement system including: an optical unit that radiates a coherent light such that the coherent light is incident in a target region in accordance with a pattern that includes a bright region and a dark region located uniformly in at least one direction in the target region; a light reception unit that receives a reflected light of the coherent light in the target region; and an imaging unit that captures an image of a speckle included in the reflected light.
