Abstract An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to, if information regarding a psychological state or a feeling of a target satisfies a predetermined first condition, control outputting of sound around the target collected in a period in which the predetermined first condition is satisfied. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An information processing apparatus comprising: a processor configured to, if information regarding a psychological state or a feeling of a target satisfies a predetermined first condition, control outputting of sound around the target collected in a period in which the predetermined first condition is satisfied. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the predetermined first condition is a state in which the target is not concentrating. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The information processing apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the predetermined first condition is that a level of θ waves or a level of δ waves measured in the target is higher than a predetermined threshold. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The information processing apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the processor is configured to, if a telephone call is detected, enables the telephone call. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the predetermined first condition is a state in which the target is aroused. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The information processing apparatus according to claim 5, wherein the predetermined first condition is a state in which a level of δ waves or a level of β waves measured in the target is higher than a predetermined threshold. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to, if a predetermined second condition is satisfied, output the sound around the target collected in the period in which the first condition is satisfied. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The information processing apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the predetermined second condition is that the predetermined first condition is not satisfied. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The information processing apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the predetermined second condition is detection of an instruction, given by the target, to output the sound. ### Claim 10 (depends on 7) The information processing apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the predetermined second condition is set for each target. ### Claim 11 (depends on 7) The information processing apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the predetermined second condition is detection of a change in an environment of the target. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The information processing apparatus according to claim 11, wherein the change in the environment is detection of an end of a telephone call. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The information processing apparatus according to claim 11, wherein the change in the environment is detection of an end of a meeting attended by the target. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to play back, faster than a normal speed, the sound around the target collected in the period in which the first condition is satisfied. ### Claim 15 (depends on 1) The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to output a summary of the sound around the target collected in the period in which the first condition is satisfied. ### Claim 16 (depends on 1) The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to, if the sound around the target collected in the period in which the first condition is satisfied satisfies a predetermined third condition, output the sound that satisfies the predetermined third condition. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The information processing apparatus according to claim 16, wherein the predetermined third condition is a talk given by a certain speaker. ### Claim 18 (depends on 16) The information processing apparatus according to claim 16, wherein the predetermined third condition is set for each target. ### Claim 19 (depends on 17) The information processing apparatus according to claim 17, wherein the predetermined third condition is set for each target. ### Claim 20 A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process comprising: controlling, if information regarding a psychological state or a feeling of a target satisfies a predetermined first condition, outputting of sound around the target collected in a period in which the predetermined first condition is satisfied.
