  • Patent number: 11786136
    Abstract: There is provided an information processing apparatus including a reliability degree calculation section that calculates a reliability degree of pulsation variability data or a body index; and a control unit that controls various kinds of processing on the basis of the calculated reliability degree. The pulsation variability data is acquired from sensing data acquired by a pulse wave sensor worn by a user. The body index is calculated from the pulsation variability data and indicates a physical state of the user.

  • Publication number: 20200155018
    Abstract: [Overview] [Problem to be Solved] To provide an information processing apparatus, information processing method, and program that make it possible to bring the measurement of the heart rate variability or pulse rate variability of a user freely moving around into a preferable state. [Solution] There is provided an information processing apparatus including: a reliability degree calculation section that calculates a reliability degree of pulsation variability data or a body index; and a control unit that controls various kinds of processing on the basis of the calculated reliability degree. The pulsation variability data is acquired from sensing data acquired by a pulse wave sensor worn by a user. The body index is calculated from the pulsation variability data and indicates a physical state of the user.

  • Patent number: 10229485
    Abstract: Provided is an information processing apparatus including: a photographing information acquisition unit configured to acquire an image at a time of photographing photographed by a camera and a temperature of an illumination light source at the time of photographing; and a correction unit configured to correct a brightness of the image at the time of photographing or an exposure time period of the camera on the basis of the temperature of the illumination light source at the time of photographing, the brightness of the image at the time of photographing, and temperature characteristics of the illumination light source, the temperature characteristics having been prepared in advance.

  • Publication number: 20170316554
    Abstract: [Object] To adjust a brightness of a photographed image with a technique that does not include driving and controlling an illumination light source. [Solution] Provided is an information processing apparatus including: a photographing information acquisition unit configured to acquire an image at a time of photographing photographed by a camera and a temperature of an illumination light source at the time of photographing; and a correction unit configured to correct a brightness of the image at the time of photographing or an exposure time period of the camera on the basis of the temperature of the illumination light source at the time of photographing, the brightness of the image at the time of photographing, and temperature characteristics of the illumination light source, the temperature characteristics having been prepared in advance.

  • Publication number: 20170316564
    Abstract: [Object] In the case where a non-skin region is photographed, it is desirable that that the non-skin region has been photographed be output. [Solution] Provided is an information processing apparatus including: a determination unit configured to determine at least whether a photographed image is a non-skin region image obtained by photographing a non-skin region; and an output unit configured to, in the case where the photographed image is determined to be the non-skin region image, perform a predetermined first output.
