Abstract
According to one embodiment, a time series information acquisition unit acquires time series information of a position or a size of a specific part of a user's body. An operation segment detection unit detects a movement direction of the specific part from the time series information, and detects a plurality of operation segments each segmented by two of a start point, a turning point and an end point of the movement direction. A recognition unit specifies a first operation segment to be recognized and a second operation segment following the first operation segment among the plurality of operation segments, and recognizes a motion of the specific part in the first operation segment by using a first feature extracted from the time series information of the first operation segment and a second feature extracted from the time series information of the second operation segment.
