Information processing device and information processing method

An information processing method, comprising:

• receiving, by a communication portion, sensor data from a plurality of sensors in a plurality of regions;
• transmitting, by the communication portion, a plurality of control signals to a plurality of actuators, wherein each actuator of the plurality of actuators is associated with at least one sensor of the plurality of sensors;
• calculating, by a processor, an average value of a plurality of excitement degrees of people in a specific region of the plurality of regions based on the received sensor data;
• determining, by the processor, a result of a comparison between a reference value and the average value of the plurality of excitement degrees of the people in the specific region;
• determining, by the processor, whether the specific region has an ideal situation based on the result of the comparison between the reference value and the average value of the plurality of excitement degrees of the people in the specific region, wherein the ideal situation includes a specific situation that corresponds to at least one of a flow of a specific number of the people, a motion line of the people, a conversation among the people, or continued presence of the people;
• specifying, by the processor, a sensor in the specific region based on the determination that the specific region does not have the ideal situation, wherein the sensor is specified from the plurality of sensors;
• specifying, by the processor, an actuator, corresponding to the specified sensor, from the plurality of actuators, wherein the actuator is a speaker;
• generating, by the processor, information in the specific region, wherein the information includes a conversation topic;
• generating, by the processor, a control signal of the plurality of control signals to control the specified actuator, such that the specific region has the ideal situation;
• wherein
• the specified actuator is controlled to output the generated information in the specific region, and
• the generated information is output to initiate the conversation among the people in the specified region;
• and
• controlling, by the processor, the communication portion to transmit the generated control signal to the specified actuator.
