Abstract
An apparatus and method to group users based on bio-information of the users. A two-dimensional bio-information space is generated from first and second dimensions which represent, respectively, first and second characteristics of the bio-information of the users. The users are arranged in the bio-information space based on the bio-information, and users are grouped based on the arrangement of the users in the bio-information space. Continuously acquired bio-information is used to re-group users.
Claims19
A group classification method, comprising:
- generating, by a processor of an information processing apparatus, a two-dimensional bio-information space from first and second dimensions which represent, respectively, first and second characteristics of bio-information of users;
- arranging the users, based on the bio-information, in the bio-information space;
- and
- determining groups of the users based on the arranging of the users in the bio-information space.
A computer readable storage medium including executable instructions, which when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a group classification method, the method comprising:
- generating a two-dimensional bio-information space from first and second dimensions which represent, respectively, first and second characteristics of bio-information of users;
- arranging the users, based on the bio-information, in the bio-information space;
- and
- determining groups of the users based on the arranging of the users in the bio-information space.
An information processing apparatus, comprising:
- a generating unit configured to generate a two-dimensional bio-information space from first and second dimensions which represent, respectively, first and second characteristics of bio-information of users;
- an arranging unit configured to arrange the users, based on the bio-information, in the bio-information space;
- and
- a determining unit configured to group the users based on the arranging of the users in the bio-information space.
