Information processing apparatus and information processing method for selection of a target user

An information processing method, comprising:

• in an information processing apparatus that comprises a processor:
• receiving, by the processor, via a communication network, communication content of a first user and a second user from a first terminal associated with the first user;
• receiving, by the processor, sensing data of at least one sensor of the first terminal via the communication network, wherein the sensing data comprises at least one of motion of the first terminal or image data captured by the first terminal;
• analyzing, by the processor, the communication content of the first user and the second user;
• extracting, by the processor, a word from the analyzed communication content;
• selecting, by the processor, a third user based on the extracted word and a result of behavior recognition with respect to the first user;
• determining, by the processor, notification information based on a type of the selected third user;
• determining, by the processor, whether the notification information is to be transmitted to a second terminal in a case where the at least one of the motion of the first terminal or the image data satisfies a determined condition;
• and
• controlling, by the processor, based on the determination that the notification information is to be transmitted, transmission of the notification information to the second terminal, wherein
• the second terminal is associated with the selected third user, and
• the notification information comprises a designation of a determined operation at the second terminal based on a degree of similarity between the result of the behavior recognition with respect to the first user and a result of behavior recognition with respect to the selected third user.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions, which when executed by a processor of an information processing apparatus, cause the processor to execute operations, the operations comprising:

• receiving, via a communication network, communication content of a first user and a second user from a first terminal associated with the first user;
• receiving sensing data of at least one sensor of the first terminal via the communication network, wherein the sensing data comprises at least one of motion of the first terminal or image data captured by the first terminal;
• analyzing the communication content of the first user and the second user;
• extracting a word from the analyzed communication content;
• selecting a third user based on the extracted word and a result of behavior recognition with respect to the first user;
• determining notification information based on a type of the selected third user;
• determining whether the notification information is to be transmitted to a second terminal in a case where the at least one of the motion of the first terminal or the image data satisfies a determined condition;
• and
• controlling, based on the determination that the notification information is to be transmitted, transmission of the notification information to the second terminal of the notification information, wherein
• the second terminal is associated with the selected third user, and
• the notification information comprises a designation of a determined operation at the second terminal based on a degree of similarity between the result of the behavior recognition with respect to the first user and a result of behavior recognition with respect to the selected third user.
