Abstract
Provided an information processing device that is capable of switching between a state in which a device is carried and a state in which the device is not carried in a more suitable form in accordance with a state or situation in which the device is used. The information processing device includes an acquisition unit that acquires information on a user and a controller that executes a control process for moving a device that can be carried by the user so that the device changes between a carry state in which the device is carried by the user and a non-carry state in which the device is not carried by the user on the basis of the information on the user.
Claims19
An information processing device, comprising:
- an acquisition unit configured to acquire real time information associated with a user;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- control autonomous movement of a device based on the acquired real time information associated with the user;
- hold the device at a first position based on the acquired real time information associated with the user, wherein the first position satisfies a first condition;
- and
- autonomously switch a mode of the device from a stand-by mode to a carry mode based on the real time information associated with the user, wherein
- the device stands at the first position in the stand-by mode, and
- the device is carried by the user in the carry mode.
An information processing method, comprising:
- in an information processing device comprising a processor:
- acquiring, by the processor, real time information associated with a user;
- controlling, by the processor, autonomous movement of a device based on the acquired real time information associated with the user;
- holding, by the processor, the device at a first position based on the acquired real time information associated with the user, wherein the first position satisfies a first condition;
- and
- autonomously switching, by the processor, a mode of the device from a stand-by mode to a carry mode based on the real time information associated with the user, wherein the device stands at the first position in the stand-by mode, and the device is carried by the user in the carry mode.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon, computer-executable instructions which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to execute operations, the operations comprising:
- acquiring real time information associated with a user;
- controlling autonomous movement of a device based on the real time information associated with the user;
- holding the device at a first position based on the acquired real time information associated with the user, wherein the first position satisfies a first condition;
- and
- autonomously switching a mode of the device from a stand-by mode to a carry mode based on the real time information associated with the user, wherein the device stands at the first position in the stand-by mode, and the device is carried by the user in the carry mode.
