Information processing apparatus, information processing method, program, and recording medium

An information processing method comprising:

• acquiring an absolute position of a user;
• acquiring first values according to physical movement of the user who walks;
• assuming a function showing a relation between the first values and second values showing a pace or a walking speed of the user, calculating coefficients included in the function based on the first values and the absolute position, and specifying the function;
• calculating the second values corresponding to the first values using the function;
• and
• learning a correspondence relation between a walking tempo of the user and the second values using the calculated second values.

A program for causing a computer to function as an information processing apparatus,

• wherein the information processing apparatus includes:
• an absolute position acquiring unit that acquires an absolute position of a user;
• an acquiring unit that acquires first values according to physical movement of the user who walks;
• a function specifying unit that assumes a function showing a relation between the first values and second values showing a pace or a walking speed of the user, calculates coefficients included in the function based on the first values and the absolute position, and specifies the function;
• a calculating unit that calculates the second values corresponding to the first values using the function;
• and
• a learning unit that learns a correspondence relation between a walking tempo of the user and the second values using the calculated second values.

A computer readable recording medium that stores a program for causing a computer to function as an information processing apparatus, wherein the information processing apparatus includes:

• an absolute position acquiring unit that acquires an absolute position of a user;
• an acquiring unit that acquires first values according to physical movement of the user who walks;
• a function specifying unit that assumes a function showing a relation between the first values and second values showing a pace or a walking speed of the user, calculates coefficients included in the function based on the first values and the absolute position, and specifies the function;
• a calculating unit that calculates the second values corresponding to the first values using the function;
• and
• a learning unit that learns a correspondence relation between a walking tempo of the user and the second values using the calculated second values.
