Abstract

According to one embodiment, a service providing system accumulates, as first context information linked to identification information of a first user, at least a part of first data detected by a first sensor worn on a body of the first user or provided in a held object of the first user. The service providing system provides a first service based on a first aggregate of the accumulated first context information to the first user.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A service providing system comprising:
a server configured to
accumulate, as first context information linked to identification information of a first user, at least a part of first data detected by a first sensor worn on a body of the first user or provided in a held object of the first user,
provide a first service based on a first aggregate of the accumulated first context information to the first user,
accumulate a plurality of kinds of the first context information,
estimate a characteristic of the first user based on the first aggregate of the accumulated plurality of kinds of first context information,
decide the first service based on the characteristic of the first user,
accumulate, as a plurality of kinds of second context information linked to identification information of a second user, at least a part of a plurality of second data detected by a second sensor worn on a body of the second user or provided in a held object of the second user,
estimate a characteristic of the second user based on a second aggregate of the accumulated plurality of kinds of second context information,
determine a difference between the estimated characteristic of the second user and the estimated characteristic of the first user, and
in response to the determination that the difference is less than a standard, provide a second service based on at least the part of the first data to the second user.

2. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the provision of the second service to the second user is performed without including personal information of the first user of the first user.

3. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the first sensor detects at least any one of a movement of the body of the first user, a state of the first user, and voice of the first user at a time when the first user participates in an event.

4. The system according to claim 3 , wherein the held object of the first user includes at least any one of a light emitting device, a flag-like body, a fan-like body, a cloth-like body, a megaphone, a microphone, a bracelet, a necklace, a watch, a finger ring, eyeglasses, clothes, a shoe, a glove, a cap, a headphone, an earphone, a hearing aid, an accessory, and a sporting instrument.

5. The system according to claim 3 , wherein the first service includes at least any one of
image information concerning the event,
video information concerning the event,
music information concerning the event, and
sound information concerning the event.

6. The system according to claim 3 , wherein
the service providing system evaluates the first data on the basis of evaluation items and changes the first service on the basis of a result of the evaluation,
the evaluation items include a first relation degree and a second relation degree,
the first relation degree includes a correlation between provided information including at least either one of music and a video provided in the event and the first data, and
the second relation degree includes a correlation between second data concerning an action relating to the event of a second user participating in the event and the first data.

7. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the service providing system evaluates the first context information on the basis of evaluation items and changes the first service on the basis of a result of the evaluation.

8. The system according to claim 7 , wherein the first service includes at least either one of first image information created on the basis of the first context information and second image information created on the basis of the result of the evaluation.

9. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the provision of the first service to the first user includes enabling access by the first user to information provided to the first user.

10. A service providing device comprising:
a first sensor held by a first participant participating in an event and configured to detect at least any one of a movement of a first body of the first participant, a state of the first body, and voice of the first participant at a time when the first participant participates in the event; and
circuitry configured to
transmit a result of the detection,
receive a first service based on the result, and
provide the first service to the first participant, wherein the first service is provided based on a first aggregate of accumulated first context information of the first participant,

wherein the first aggregate of the accumulated first context information is used to estimate a characteristic of the first participant, the estimated characteristic of the first participant being compared to an estimated characteristic of a second participant, and in response to a determination that a difference between the estimated characteristic of the first participant and the estimated characteristic of the second participant is less than a standard, a second service is provided to the second participant.

11. A service providing device comprising:
a first sensor held by a first participant participating in an event and configured to detect at least any one of a movement of a first body of the first participant, a state of the first body, and voice of the first participant at a time when the first participant participates in the event; and
circuitry configured to
provide a first service based on a result of the detection to the first participant wherein the first service is provided based on a first aggregate of accumulated first context information of the first participant,

wherein the first aggregate of the accumulated first context information is used to estimate a characteristic of the first participant, the estimated characteristic of the first participant being compared to an estimated characteristic of a second participant, and in response to a determination that a difference between the estimated characteristic of the first participant and the estimated characteristic of the second participant is less than a standard, a second service is provided to the second participant.

12. A service providing device comprising
circuitry configured to
provide, on the basis of first action information of a first participant including at least any one of a movement of a first body of the first participant, a state of the first body, and voice of the first participant at a time when the first participant participates in an event and detected from image data of the first participant and sound data of the first participant, to the first participant, an access permission signal for information concerning a first service stored in an access restricted state in a memory provided in a held object held by the first participant, wherein the first service is provided based on a first aggregate of accumulated first context information of the first participant,

wherein the first aggregate of the accumulated first context information is used to estimate a characteristic of the first participant, the estimated characteristic of the first participant being compared to an estimated characteristic of a second participant, and in response to a determination that a difference between the estimated characteristic of the first participant and the estimated characteristic of the second participant is less than a standard, a second service is provided to the second participant.

13. A data constructing method comprising:
acquiring a nickname; and
saving, in association with the nickname, first set information including first service recognition information of a first service provided to a first user corresponding to the nickname and first action information performed concerning t
