Information Processing Method And Information Processing System

In an information processing method, a computer acquires a sleep state of a person existing in space, acquires detection data output from a sensor that detects entry of an object into the space, performs a first determination to determine whether or not the sleep state changes to awakening within a predetermined time from a time point at which the object is estimated to enter the space based on the sleep state and the detection data, generates, in association with the sleep state before the time point, awakening information for determining possibility that the person is awakened by entry of the object in a case where the person is in the sleep state before the time point of entry based on a result of the first determination, and presents the awakening information associated with the sleep state via a presentation device.

3 Independent Claims

1. An information processing method executed by a computer, the information processing method comprising: acquiring a sleep state of a person existing in space; acquiring detection data output from a sensor that detects entry of an object into the space; performing a first determination to determine whether or not the sleep state changes to awakening within a predetermined time from a time point at which the object is estimated to enter the space based on the sleep state and the detection data; generating, in association with the sleep state before the time point, awakening information for determining possibility that the person is awakened by entry of the object in a case where the person is in the sleep state before the time point based on a result of the first determination; and presenting the awakening information associated with the sleep state via a presentation device.
13. An information processing system comprising: an information processing device; a sensor that detects entry of an object into space; and a presentation device, wherein the information processing device includes: a sleep state acquisition unit that acquires a sleep state of a person existing in the space; a detection data acquisition unit that acquires detection data output from the sensor, a determination unit that performs a first determination to determine whether or not the sleep state changes to awakening within a predetermined time from a time point at which the object is estimated to enter the space based on the sleep state and the detection data; a generation unit that generates, in association with the sleep state before the time point, awakening information for determining possibility that the person is awakened by entry of the object in a case where the person is in the sleep state before the time point based on a result of the first determination; and a presentation unit that presents the awakening information associated with the sleep state via the presentation device.
14. An information processing method executed by a computer, the information processing method comprising: acquiring a sleep state of a person existing in space; acquiring detection data output from a sensor that detects entry of an object into the space; performing a first determination to determine whether or not the sleep state changes to awakening within a predetermined time from a time point at which the object is estimated to enter the space based on the sleep state and the detection data; generating, in association with the sleep state before the time point, awakening information for determining possibility that the person is awakened by entry of the object in a case where the person is in the sleep state before the time point based on a result of the first determination; and executing, based on the awakening information associated with the sleep state, home appliance control processing that is at least one of controlling a home appliance in the space, inquiring whether or not to control the home appliance via a presentation device, and presenting recommendation for controlling the home appliance via the presentation device.
