Abstract
Moving information of an object is input, and first sound information around the object is input. A motion status of the object is recognized based on the moving information. Second sound information is selectively extracted from the first sound information, based on the motion status. A first feature quantity is extracted from the second sound information. A plurality of models is stored in a memory. Each model has a second feature quantity and a corresponding specified context. The second feature quantity is previously extracted by the second extraction unit before the first feature quantity is extracted. A present context of the object is decided based on the specified context corresponding to the second feature quantity most similar to the first feature quantity.
