Abstract
A new configuration in which a distance to a user in addition to a sleep state of the user is measured is provided. An information processing apparatus includes a sensing unit including a Doppler sensor, a distance measurement unit that measures a distance to a user based on an output from the Doppler sensor, and a sleep state measurement unit that measures in real time, a sleep state of the user based on the output from the Doppler sensor.
Claims19
An information processing apparatus, comprising:
- a sensing unit including a sensor configured to sense a subject by emitting incident waves and receiving reflected waves produced by reflection of the incident waves;
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more memories storing computer readable instructions that, when executed, cause the information processing apparatus to perform operations comprising:
- measuring a distance to a subject based on an output from the sensor;
- determining a user as not being present in a case where the measured distance to the user exceeds a first distance that is determined based on an input from a user, wherein the first distance is shorter than a measurable maximum distance of the sensor.
A computer-implemented method, comprising
- sensing with a sensor a subject by emitting incident waves and receiving reflected waves produced by reflection of the incident waves;
- measuring a distance to a subject based on a result of the sensing;
- and
- determining a user as not being present in a case where the measured distance to the user exceeds a first distance that is determined based on an input from a user, wherein the first distance is shorter than a measurable maximum distance of the sensor.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- measuring a distance to a subject based on a result of sensing a subject with a sensor, the sensor configured to emit incident waves and receive reflected waves produced by reflection of the incident waves;
- and
- determining a user as not being present in a case where the measured distance to the user exceeds a first distance that is determined based on an input from a user, wherein the first distance is shorter than a measurable maximum distance of the sensor.
An information processing system comprising:
- a sensor configured to sense a subject by emitting incident waves and receiving reflected waves produced by reflection of the incident waves;
- and
- a control device, the control device comprising one or more processors and one or more memories coupled thereto, the control device being configured to perform operations comprising:
- measuring a distance to a subject based on an output from the sensor;
- and
- determining a user as not being present in a case where the measured distance to the user exceeds a first distance that is determined based on an input from a user, wherein the first distance is shorter than a measurable maximum distance of the sensor.
