processing device according to the present disclosure includes: an acquisition unit that acquires first information indicating a state of fingers of a user and second information indicating rotation of a wrist of the user; and a determination unit that determines an output mode of content output from a device on a basis of the state of the fingers of the user indicated by the first information and rotation of the wrist of the user indicated by the second information. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An information processing device comprising: an acquisition unit that acquires first information indicating a state of fingers of a user and second information indicating rotation of a wrist of the user; and a determination unit that determines an output mode of content output from a device on a basis of the state of the fingers of the user indicated by the first information and rotation of the wrist of the user indicated by the second information. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the determination unit determines a display mode of the content displayed on the device on a basis of the state of the fingers of the user and rotation of the wrist of the user, the device being a display device. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the determination unit determines whether or not to change the output mode of the content depending on the state of the fingers of the user and determines an amount of change in the output mode of the content by rotation of the wrist of the user. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The information processing device according to claim 3, wherein the determination unit determines an amount corresponding to an amount of rotation of the wrist of the user as the amount of change in the output mode of the content. ### Claim 5 (depends on 3) The information processing device according to claim 3, wherein the determination unit determines to change to one side of one dimension corresponding to the content in a case where the rotation of the wrist of the user is in a first direction and to change to the other side of the one dimension corresponding to the content in a case where the rotation of the wrist of the user is in a second direction opposite to the first direction. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The information processing device according to claim 5, wherein, in a case where the one dimension corresponds to the output amount of the content, the determination unit determines to decrease the output amount of the content depending on the rotation of the wrist of the user in the first direction and determines to increase the output amount of the content depending on the rotation of the wrist of the user in the second direction. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The information processing device according to claim 6, wherein, in a case where the one dimension corresponds to a display area of the content, the determination unit determines to decrease the display area of the content depending on the rotation of the wrist of the user in the first direction and determines to increase the display area of the content depending on the rotation of the wrist of the user in the second direction. ### Claim 8 (depends on 6) The information processing device according to claim 6, wherein, in a case where the one dimension corresponds to an output volume of the content, the determination unit determines to decrease the output volume of the content depending on the rotation of the wrist of the user in the first direction and determines to increase the output volume of the content depending on the rotation of the wrist of the user in the second direction. ### Claim 9 (depends on 5) The information processing device according to claim 5, wherein, in a case where the one dimension corresponds to an up-down direction of the content, the determination unit determines to move the display area of the content downward depending on the rotation of the wrist of the user in the first direction and determines to move the display area of the content upward depending on the rotation of the wrist of the user in the second direction. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the determination unit determines to change the output mode of the content corresponding to the rotation of the wrist of the user in a case where the state of the fingers of the user satisfies a condition. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The information processing device according to claim 10, wherein the determination unit determines not to change the output mode of the content corresponding to the rotation of the wrist of the user in a case where the state of the fingers of the user does not satisfy the condition. ### Claim 12 (depends on 10) The information processing device according to claim 10, wherein the determination unit determines to change the output mode of the content corresponding to the rotation of the wrist of the user in a case where the state of the fingers of the user corresponds to a gesture corresponding to a change of the output of the content. ### Claim 13 (depends on 10) The information processing device according to claim 10, wherein the determination unit determines to change the output mode of the content corresponding to the rotation of the wrist of the user in a case where the state of the fingers of the user has a shape corresponding to a change of the output of the content. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The information processing device according to claim 1, further comprising: an output unit that outputs the content in the output mode determined by the determination unit. ### Claim 15 An information processing method of executing processing of: acquiring first information indicating a state of fingers of a user and second information indicating rotation of a wrist of the user; and determining an output mode of content output from a device on a basis of the state of the fingers of the user indicated by the first information and rotation of the wrist of the user indicated by the second information. ### Claim 16 A wristband-type display device worn on a wrist of a user, the display device comprising: a display unit that is movable along a circumferential direction of the wrist of the user when worn on the wrist of the user; and a holding unit that holds a position of the display unit in a circumferential direction of the wrist of the user at a holding position that is a position before rotation of the wrist of the user when the user rotates the wrist. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The display device according to claim 16, wherein the holding unit is a weight movable together with the display unit along the circumferential direction of the wrist of the user when worn on the wrist of the user, and the display unit is held at the holding position with the holding unit held at a position in the circumferential direction of the wrist of the user in a case where the user rotates the wrist about a direction intersecting a gravity direction. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The display device according to claim 17, wherein the holding unit is disposed at a position different from a position of the display unit in the circumferential direction of the wrist of the user when worn on the wrist of the user, and the display unit is held at the holding position corresponding to a difference from the holding unit in terms of a position in the circumferential direction of the wrist of the user. ### Claim 19 (depends on 16) The display device according to claim 16, further comprising: a band unit that comes into contact with the wrist of the user and rotates in the circumferential direction of the wrist together with the wrist of the user when worn on the wrist of the user. ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) The display device according to claim 19, wherein the band unit is disposed between the wrist of the user and the display unit when worn on the wrist of the user.
