Abstract
An information processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present technology includes a determination unit and an output unit. The determination unit determines, on a basis of information related to a usage state of a wearable device, a holding state of the wearable device with respect to an attachment target. The output unit generates and outputs control information for achieving the determined holding state.
Claims11
An information processing apparatus, comprising:
- at least one sensor configured to acquire usage information related to a usage state of a wearable device and a current holding state of the wearable device;
- an actuator mechanism configured to change the current holding state of the wearable device with respect to a user of the wearable device;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- determine, based on the usage information, a holding state of the wearable device, wherein
- the current holding state comprises a holding force and a holding position of the wearable device that is configured to exert the holding force;
- and
- control the actuator mechanism to change the holding force based on a determination that the current holding state is different from the determined holding state,
- wherein the actuator mechanism is further configured to change the holding force by rotation of a first part of the wearable device with respect a second part of the wearable device.
A method, comprising:
- acquiring, from at least one sensor, usage information related to a usage state of a wearable device and a current holding state of the wearable device;
- determining, by a processor, a holding state of the wearable device based on the usage information, wherein
- the current holding state comprises a holding force and a holding position of the wearable device that is configured to exert the holding force;
- and
- controlling an actuator mechanism to change the holding force based on a determination that the current holding state of the wearable device with respect to a user of the wearable device is different from the determined holding state,
- wherein the actuator mechanism is configured to change the holding force by rotation of a first part of the wearable device with respect a second part of the wearable device.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions which, when executed by a processor of an information processing apparatus including at least one sensor, an actuator mechanism, and the processor, cause the processor to execute operations, the operations comprising:
- acquiring, from the at least one sensor, usage information related to a usage state of a wearable device and a current holding state of the wearable device;
- determining, by the processor, a holding state of the wearable device based on the usage information, wherein
- the current holding state comprises a holding force and a holding position of the wearable device that is configured to exert the holding force;
- and
- controlling the actuator mechanism to change the holding force based on a determination that the current holding state of the wearable device with respect to a user of the wearable device is different from the determined holding state,
- wherein the actuator mechanism is configured to change the holding force by rotation of a first part of the wearable device with respect a second part of the wearable device.
