Provided an information processing device that is capable of switching between a state in which a device is carried and a state in which the device is not carried in a more suitable form in accordance with a state or situation in which the device is used. The information processing device includes an acquisition unit that acquires information on a user and a controller that executes a control process for moving a device that can be carried by the user so that the device changes between a carry state in which the device is carried by the user and a non-carry state in which the device is not carried by the user on the basis of the information on the user.

Information processing device and information processing method

Provided is an information processing system that acquires context information representing at least one of a surrounding environment of a user having a device, a feeling of the user, a situation of the user, feelings of other people around the user, or situations of the other people, recognizes a context of the user on the basis of the context information, determines an action corresponding to the context, and determines a transmission method for the action to the user, the transmission method being suitable for the context and the action.

Information processing system, recording medium, and information processing method

There is provided an information processing apparatus including a circuitry configured to set a threshold value to define each user group based on position information and retrieve a state of each user detected based on sensing data provided from a user terminal. The circuitry is further configured to integrate the detected states for each user group defined based on the position information to generate integrated state information.

Information processing apparatus and information processing method

The present technology relates to an information processing system, a recording medium, and an information processing method that make it possible to transmit an action suitable for a context of a user to the user in a natural way. An information processing system according to an aspect of the present technology acquires context information representing at least one of a surrounding environment of a user having a device, a feeling of the user, a situation of the user, feelings of other people around the user, or situations of the other people, recognizes a context of the user on the basis of the context information, determines an action corresponding to the context, and determines a transmission method for the action to the user, the transmission method being suitable for the context and the action. The present technology can be applied to a wearable device worn by a user.

Information terminal

Provided is an information processing device that is capable of switching between a state in which a device is carried and a state in which the device is not carried in a more suitable form in accordance with a state or situation in which the device is used. The information processing device includes an acquisition unit that acquires information on a user and a controller that executes a control process for moving a device that can be carried by the user so that the device changes between a carry state in which the device is carried by the user and a non-carry state in which the device is not carried by the user on the basis of the information on the user.

An information processing system that acquires feedback information from a first user having viewed an advertising activity of a second user, the advertising activity including displaying advertising information on an information processing apparatus possessed by the second user; and updates profile information for determining an effectiveness of the advertising activity based on the received feedback information.

Information processing device, communication system, and information processing method

Interaction between a virtual object and the real space is to be presented in a preferred manner. In accordance with a user's viewing or finding of an actual object, the virtual objectcorresponding to the actual objectappears. The actual objectincludes output devices that generate outputs such as vibration, electric pulse, heat or cooling air, wind, sound, light, a transfer, and a jump. The actual objectperforms reaction to action performed on the actual objectby the virtual object. Where interaction is conducted between the virtual objectand the actual objectin synchronization, a stronger impression of reality can be given to the user.

Information processing apparatus and information processing method, display apparatus and display method, and information processing system

Disclosed is a communication device including a first communication part, a calling processing part, and a second communication part. The first communication part generates a response by a virtual communication party to a user's input and outputs the response from an output unit to realize first communication. The calling processing part controls a communication unit and performs calling processing on a communication device of a real communication party to call the real communication party when the first communication is realized by the first communication part. The second communication part controls the communication unit to supply the user's input accepted by the input unit to the communication device of the real communication party, acquires a response to the user's input from the communication device of the real communication party, and outputs the response to the output unit to realize second communication.

Communication device, method, and program

There is provided an information processing apparatus including a user state detector configured to detect a state of each of a plurality of users based on sensing data provided from the plurality of users together with position information, a user state integration unit configured to integrate the detected state for each user group defined based on the position information to generate integrated state information, and a state display generator configured to generate information for displaying the integrated state information in association with a position.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and program

An information processing apparatus includes a first touch panel, a second touch panel, and a controller. The first touch panel displays a first object and detects a first touch operation of a user on the first object. The second touch panel displays a second object and detects a second touch operation of the user on the second object. The controller links and changes the displayed first object and the displayed second object when the second touch operation is detected within a predetermined time period since the first touch operation has been detected.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method and program

An information processing apparatus includes a first touch panel, a second touch panel, a touch sensor, and a controller. The first touch panel displays an object and detects a first touch operation of a user on the object. The second touch panel detects a second touch operation of the user. The touch sensor is provided between the first touch panel and the second touch panel and detects a third touch operation of the user. The controller moves the object displayed on the first touch panel in accordance with the first touch operation, and displays the object on the second touch panel when the third touch operation is detected within a first time period since the first touch operation has become undetected and the second touch operation is detected within a second time period since the third touch operation is detected.

An information processing apparatus includes a projector, a camera, a first storage, and a controller. The projector projects a projection image containing a first operation image onto a predetermined area. The camera shoots an image of a subject within the predetermined area. The controller detects an operation to the first operation image based on the shot image shot by the camera and controls the first storage to store at least the image of the subject out of the shot image when the operation is detected.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and program for storing an image shot by a camera and projected by a projector
