unit that determines an activity level of an attendee attending a meeting in accordance with an analysis based on biological information acquired from a body of the attendee, an instructing unit that provides instructions on a mode in which the attendee is to be represented in accordance with the activity level, a generating unit that generates information concerning the attendee represented in the mode, and a transmitter that transmits the generated information concerning the attendee. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An information processing apparatus comprising: a determining unit that determines an activity level of an attendee attending a meeting in accordance with an analysis based on biological information acquired from a body of the attendee; an instructing unit that provides instructions on a mode in which the attendee is to be represented in accordance with the activity level; a generating unit that generates information concerning the attendee represented in the mode; and a transmitter that transmits the generated information concerning the attendee. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the instructing unit provides instructions on the mode in accordance with the activity level and a target value for the activity level. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The information processing apparatus according to claim 2, wherein, when the activity level does not reach the target value, the instructing unit provides instructions to transmit to a predetermined destination auxiliary information to assist in progression of the meeting in accordance with a difference between the activity level and the target value, and the transmitter transmits the auxiliary information to the provided destination. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising: an acquiring unit that acquires environmental information obtained from an environment surrounding the attendee, wherein the instructing unit provides instructions on the mode in accordance with a correlation between the activity level of the attendee and the environmental information. ### Claim 5 (depends on 2) The information processing apparatus according to claim 2, further comprising: an acquiring unit that acquires environmental information obtained from an environment surrounding the attendee, wherein the instructing unit provides instructions on the mode in accordance with a correlation between the activity level of the attendee and the environmental information. ### Claim 6 (depends on 3) The information processing apparatus according to claim 3, further comprising: an acquiring unit that acquires environmental information obtained from an environment surrounding the attendee, wherein the instructing unit provides instructions on the mode in accordance with a correlation between the activity level of the attendee and the environmental information. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the instructing unit provides instructions on a mode in which an image of the attendee is displayed on a screen in accordance with the activity level. ### Claim 8 (depends on 2) The information processing apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the instructing unit provides instructions on a mode in which an image of the attendee is displayed on a screen in accordance with the activity level. ### Claim 9 (depends on 3) The information processing apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the instructing unit provides instructions on a mode in which an image of the attendee is displayed on a screen in accordance with the activity level. ### Claim 10 (depends on 4) The information processing apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the instructing unit provides instructions on a mode in which an image of the attendee is displayed on a screen in accordance with the activity level. ### Claim 11 (depends on 5) The information processing apparatus according to claim 5, wherein the instructing unit provides instructions on a mode in which an image of the attendee is displayed on a screen in accordance with the activity level. ### Claim 12 (depends on 6) The information processing apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the instructing unit provides instructions on a mode in which an image of the attendee is displayed on a screen in accordance with the activity level. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein, the instructing unit provides instructions on a mode in which a group including the attendee is to be represented in accordance with the activity levels totaled for the group including the attendee, and the transmitter transmits the information concerning the group represented in the mode. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the transmitter transmits the generated information when a predetermined period has elapsed since preceding transmission. ### Claim 15 (depends on 1) The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein, if there is an attendee whose activity level changes to a level exceeding a threshold after the information concerning the attendee is transmitted, the instructing unit provides instructions to transmit information concerning the attendee. ### Claim 16 (depends on 4) The information processing apparatus according to claim 4, further comprising: a memory that stores a history of a combination of the activity level determined for the attendee and the environmental information determined for the attendee at a time point when the activity level is determined, wherein the determining unit identifies from the history the environmental information shared by the attendees whose activity levels satisfy a predetermined condition, and the instructing unit provides instructions to transmit the identified environmental information. ### Claim 17 (depends on 5) The information processing apparatus according to claim 5, further comprising: a memory that stores a history of a combination of the activity level determined for the attendee and the environmental information determined for the attendee at a time point when the activity level is determined, wherein the determining unit identifies from the history the environmental information shared by the attendees whose activity levels satisfy a predetermined condition, and the instructing unit provides instructions to transmit the identified environmental information. ### Claim 18 (depends on 6) The information processing apparatus according to claim 6, further comprising: a memory that stores a history of a combination of the activity level determined for the attendee and the environmental information determined for the attendee at a time point when the activity level is determined, wherein the determining unit identifies from the history the environmental information shared by the attendees whose activity levels satisfy a predetermined condition, and the instructing unit provides instructions to transmit the identified environmental information. ### Claim 19 An information processing system comprising: an information collecting apparatus that includes an acquiring unit that acquires biological information from a body of each attendee attending a meeting; a terminal that displays the attendee; and an information processing apparatus that communicates with the information collecting apparatus and the terminal, wherein the information collecting apparatus or the information processing apparatus includes an analyzing unit that analyzes an activity level of the attendee in accordance with the biological information, the information processing apparatus includes an instructing unit that provides instructions on a mode in which the attendee is to be represented in accordance with the analyzed activity level, the information processing apparatus or the terminal includes a generating unit that generates information concerning the attendee represented in the mode, and the terminal displays the attendee in accordance with the generated information concerning the attendee. ### Claim 20 An information processing apparatus comprising: means for determining an activity level of an attendee attending a meeting in accordance with an analysis based on biological information acquired from a body of the attendee; means for providing instructions on a mode in which the attendee is to be represented in accordance with the activity level; means for generating information concerning the attendee represented in the mode; and means for transmitting the generated information concerning the attendee.
