INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18578176 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND PROGRAM
The information processing device described in the abstract includes a sensing data acquisition unit, a calculation unit, a reliability calculation unit, a determination unit, and an output unit.
- The sensing data acquisition unit acquires multiple pieces of sensing data from a device worn or carried by a user.
- The calculation unit calculates the number of steps or movement distance of the user based on inertial data in the sensing data.
- The reliability calculation unit assesses the reliability of the data based on position, biological, and environment data obtained from the sensing data.
- The determination unit decides whether to accept the calculated steps or movement distance based on the reliability assessment.
- The output unit then provides the data of the number of steps or movement distance to the user.
