Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and medium using an action state of a user

An information processing apparatus comprising:

• a Central Processing Unit (CPU) configured to:
• recognize an action state of a user based on a measurement result obtained by a sensor carried by the user;
• perform a process regarding an amount of information on an image photographed by a camera based on the action state of the user recognized during photographing by the camera carried by the user;
• cause the image, after the process, to be transmitted to a server used to perform image recognition;
• recognize the action state of the user based on a movement of a head of the user measured by the sensor;
• recognize that the user is looking down using the sensor;
• clip a region from the photographed image such that the region to be clipped is within a predetermined distance from a lower end of the photographed image in an event a state in which the user is looking down is recognized;
• and
• cause an image of the region to be transmitted to the server.

• recognize the action state of the user based on a movement of a head of the user measured by the sensor;
• recognize that the user is looking upward using the sensor;
• and
• clip a region from the photographed image such that the region to be clipped is within a predetermined distance from an upper end of the photographed image in an event a state in which the user is looking upward is recognized;
• and
• cause an image of the region to be transmitted to the server.

An information processing method comprising:

• recognizing an action state of a user based on a measurement result obtained by a sensor carried by the user;
• performing, by a processor, a process regarding an amount of information on an image photographed by a camera based on the action state of the user recognized during photographing by the camera carried by the user;
• and
• causing the image, after the process, to be transmitted to a server used to perform image recognition,
• wherein the image, after the process, is obtained by clipping a predetermined region from the photographed image in an event a state in which the user is watching is recognized, and
• wherein the predetermined region is a region within a predetermined distance from a center in the photographed image.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, having stored thereon, a set of instructions for causing a computer to perform the steps comprising:

• recognizing an action state of a user based on a measurement result obtained by a sensor carried by the user;
• performing a process regarding an amount of information on an image photographed by a camera based on the action state of the user recognized during photographing by the camera carried by the user;
• and
• causing the image, after the process, to be transmitted to a server used to perform image recognition,
• wherein the image, after the process, is obtained by clipping a predetermined region from the photographed image in an event a state in which the user is watching is recognized, and
• wherein the predetermined region is a region within a predetermined distance from a center in the photographed image.
