  • Publication number: 20220344041
    Abstract: A measurement device 20 acquires biological information of a user and transmits the biological information to a terminal device 30-1. The terminal device transmits the biological information to a server 40. The server 40 calculates physical power and mental power using the biological information of the user. Furthermore, the server 40 generates activity support information for the user on the basis of the physical power and the mental power that are calculated, and transmits the activity support information to the terminal device 30-1. The terminal device 30-1 notifies the user of the activity support information supplied from the server 40 by an image or a sound. Therefore, the user can determine a type of activity and a time length that are possible with his/her remaining powers, and can perform an activity according to his/her remaining powers.

  • Publication number: 20220280071
    Abstract: There is provided an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a program capable of facilitating production of load data for providing a more realistic experience. A data control unit associates relative load data, which is time-series load data relative to a living body, with each temporal section of content. The relative load data is converted into absolute load data, which is time-series load data absolute to a player who reproduces the content, on the basis of a normalization parameter of the player. The technology according to the present disclosure is applicable to a device that creates/edits the relative load data, for example.
