Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes sound selection means for selecting a sound to be outputted from a sound candidate group, sound output means for outputting the selected sound when an output condition is satisfied, sleep state estimation means for estimating a sleep state of a user based on a result of measurement by a sensor that measures body motion of the user, hours-of-sleep calculation means for calculating hours of sleep of the user based on the estimated sleep state of the user, and addition means for adding a new sound to the sound candidate group based on the calculated hours of sleep of the user.
Claims27
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a memory storing a computer-readable program;
- and
- one or more processors that, when executing the computer-readable program, perform:
- selecting a sound to be outputted from a sound candidate group,
- outputting the selected sound when an output condition is satisfied,
- estimating a sleep state of a user based on a result of measurement by a sensor configured to measure body motion of the user,
- calculating hours of sleep of the user based on the estimated sleep state of the user, and
- adding a new sound to the sound candidate group based on the calculated hours of sleep of the user.
A sound-generating system, comprising:
- a memory and at least one processor configured to perform operations comprising:
- selecting, from a sound candidate group, a sound to be outputted;
- causing the selected sound to be outputted when an output condition is satisfied;
- estimating a sleep state of a user based on a result of measurement by a sensor configured to measure body motion of the user;
- calculating hours of sleep of the user based on the estimated sleep state of the user;
- and
- adding a new sound to the sound candidate group based on the calculated hours of sleep of the user.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium with an executable program stored thereon, the program when executed causing a computer configured to output a sound to perform:
- selecting a sound to be outputted from a sound candidate group;
- outputting the selected sound when an output condition is satisfied;
- estimating a sleep state of a user based on a result of measurement by a sensor configured to measure body motion of the user;
- calculating hours of sleep of the user based on the estimated sleep state of the user;
- and
- adding a new sound to the sound candidate group based on the calculated hours of sleep of the user.
A method performed in an information processing apparatus configured to output a sound, the method comprising:
- selecting a sound to be outputted from a sound candidate group;
- outputting the selected sound when an output condition is satisfied;
- estimating a sleep state of a user based on a result of measurement by a sensor that measures body motion of the user;
- calculating hours of sleep of the user based on the estimated sleep state of the user;
- and
- adding a new sound to the sound candidate group based on the calculated hours of sleep of the user.
