Abstract
An information processing apparatus detects, from time-sequential information continuously supplied for a given period of time, associated information regarding a time at which a piece of information satisfying a predetermined condition is supplied within the given period of time. A dividing section divides the time-sequential information into a plurality of temporally successive information units at predetermined time intervals. A feature value detecting section temporally successively detects feature values of the plurality of temporally successive information units. A change-information detecting section stores the temporally successively detected feature values for a predetermined period of time, and detects a plurality of temporally successive pieces of feature-value-change information on the basis of the stored feature values and a currently detected feature value. The change-information detecting section outputs the plurality of temporally successive pieces of feature-value-change information in sequence to output time-sequential associated information as the associated information.
