Information processing apparatus and information processing method

Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes: a detecting unit that detects behavior information and biological information of a user as a target; a biological information estimating unit that calculates estimated biological information by applying, to a metabolism model, the behavior information and the biological information detected by the detecting unit; and a suggesting unit that suggests, to the user, a recommended behavior calculated based on the estimated biological information calculated by the biological information estimating unit.

1 . An information processing apparatus comprising:
 a detecting unit that detects behavior information and biological information of a user as a target;   a biological information estimating unit that calculates estimated biological information by applying, to a metabolism model, the behavior information and the biological information detected by the detecting unit; and   a suggesting unit that suggests, to the user, a recommended behavior calculated based on the estimated biological information calculated by the biological information estimating unit.   
     
     
         2 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 an implementing unit that causes the user to implement the recommended behavior.   
     
     
         3 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 2 , further comprising:
 a behavior estimating unit that estimates a behavior of the user based on the behavior information and the biological information detected by the detecting unit.   
     
     
         4 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 3 , further comprising:
 a recommended behavior calculating unit that calculates the recommended behavior based on the estimated biological information calculated by the biological information estimating unit; and   an updating unit that updates the metabolism model based on actually measured biological information detected by the detecting unit and the estimated biological information calculated by the biological information estimating unit.   
     
     
         5 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein the implementing unit causes the user to perform a behavior for activity of a brain of the user or a muscular exercise of the user. 
     
     
         6 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 4 , wherein the updating unit updates the metabolism model based on a difference between the actually measured biological information detected by the detecting unit and the estimated biological information calculated by the biological information estimating unit. 
     
     
         7 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 6 , further comprising:
 a determining unit that determines whether the recommended behavior is calculated by the actually measured biological information or the estimated biological information.   
     
     
         8 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 7 ,
 wherein the behavior information is meal information, exercise information, or medication information, and   wherein the biological information is blood-sugar level information or urine-sugar level information.   
     
     
         9 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 8 , further comprising:
 a storage control unit that controls storage of information used as auxiliary information for calculating the estimated biological information by the biological information estimating unit.   
     
     
         10 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 9 , wherein the information is information regarding a difference between the actually measured biological information and the estimated biological information of a person different from the user. 
     
     
         11 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 10 , wherein the information is information regarding a difference between the actually measured biological information and the estimated biological information of the user. 
     
     
         12 . An information processing method comprising:
 detecting behavior information and biological information of a user as a target;   calculating estimated biological information by applying, to a metabolism model, the behavior information and the biological information detected in the detecting of the behavior information and the biological information; and   suggesting, to the user, a recommended behavior calculated based on the estimated biological information in the calculating of the estimated biological information.
