## Abstract

Provided is an information processing device that includes a determination portion that determines, on the basis of information regarding an exercise state of a user, whether the exercise state of the user is a sitting state or a standing state, and a display processing portion that performs processing for displaying at least one of a time when the exercise state of the user changes from the sitting state to the standing state or the number of times the exercise state of the user changes from the sitting state to the standing state.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An information processing device, comprising:
a determination portion configured to:
determine whether an exercise state of a user is one of a sitting state or a standing state, based on information associated with the exercise state of the user;
determine a number of times the exercise state of the user changes from the sitting state to the standing state, in a specific time period;
a recognition portion configured to:
determine a continuous sitting time of the user for which the exercise state is in the sitting state, based on the changes in the exercise state from the sitting state to standing state; and
determine whether the continuous sitting time is less than at least one threshold value; and
a display processing portion configured to:
display a number of times the continuous sitting time is less than at least one threshold value within the specific time period; and
display at least one of:
a time at which the exercise state changes from the sitting state to the standing state, or
the number of times the exercise state changes from the sitting state to the standing state, in the specific time period.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein
the determination portion is further configured to determine that the exercise state is the standing state, based on information associated with a motion amount of the user, and
the exercise state is determined as the standing state, in a case where:
the motion amount of the user is less than or equal to a first motion amount associated with walking, and
the motion amount of the user, is greater than or equal to a second motion amount associated with sitting.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein
the determination portion is further configured to determine that the exercise state of the user is an active state, based on the information associated with the exercise state of the user,
the exercise state is determined as the active state, in a case where a motion amount of the user is more than a motion amount associated with walking, and
the display processing portion is further configured to display the exercise state of the user.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The information processing device according to claim 1,
wherein the display processing portion is further configured to display the continuous sitting time.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The information processing device according to claim 1, further comprising:
a sound control portion configured to output sound corresponding to at least one of:
the time at which the exercise state changes from the sitting state to the standing state, or
the number of times the exercise state changes from the sitting state to the standing state in the specific time period.

### Claim 6

A non-transitory computer-readable medium, having stored thereon, computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to execute operations, the operations comprising:
determining whether an exercise state of a user is one of a sitting state or a standing state, based on information associated with the exercise state of the user;
determining a number of times the exercise state of the user changes from the sitting state to the standing state, in a specific time period;
determining a continuous sitting time of the user for which the exercise state is in the sitting state, based on the changes in the exercise state from the sitting state to standing state;
determining whether the continuous sitting time is less than at least one threshold value;
displaying a number of times the continuous sitting time is less than at least one threshold value within the specific time period; and
displaying at least one of:
a time at which the exercise state changes from the sitting state to the standing state, or
the number of times the exercise state changes from the sitting state to the standing state, in the specific time period.
