Abstract

The present technique relates to an information processing device and an information processing method that can realize new forms of communication tools. LEDs emit light in accordance with a light emission pattern specified by a combination of light emission parameters that represent light emission characteristics. A light emission control unit performs control to select a light emission pattern from among two or more preset light emission patterns, based on a change in physical quantity resulting from an action of a user, and cause a light-emitting unit to emit light in accordance with the selected light emission pattern. The present technique can be applied to information processing devices used as communication tools.
