Abstract

Provided is an information processing apparatus including a presentation section which presents an action log that is an action result of a third party, and a schedule adjustment section which incorporates the action log selected from the presented action log by a user as a schedule of schedule information of the user.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
at least one processor configured to
generate presentation information to present a plurality of selectable action logs based on lifestyle information, each selectable action log corresponding to activity performed by one or more of a plurality of third parties, wherein the presentation information includes
a display process that maps each third party of the one or more third parties corresponding to each selectable action log presented in a navigator selection screen by a classified level of activity of the third party on a first axis and by a frequency of activity of the third party on a second axis,
a scheme for achieving the activity corresponding to each selectable action log, and
feelings of at least one of the plurality of third parties when achieving the activity corresponding to at least one selectable action log;

receive an action log acquisition instruction by a selection by a user of a selected action log corresponding to a selected third party navigator from among the mapped one or more third parties presented in the navigator selection screen; and
incorporate a schedule into schedule information of the user based on the received action log acquisition instruction,

wherein a comparison graph is displayed that compares achievement levels between the user and another user.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of selectable action logs and the schedule information are of a common format.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the schedule information includes time information.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor adjusts the schedule of the user upon selection of the selected action log by incorporating the selected action log into the schedule information to avoid schedule conflicts in the schedule of the user already incorporated into the schedule of the user.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to propose a modification of the selected action log incorporated into the schedule information when the schedule of the user already incorporated into the schedule information conflicts with the schedule of the user.

6. An information processing method, implemented via at least one processor, the method comprising:
generating presentation information to present a plurality of selectable action logs based on lifestyle information, each selectable action log corresponding to activity performed by one or more of a plurality of third parties, wherein the presentation information includes
a display process that maps each third party of the one or more third parties corresponding to each selectable action log presented in a navigator selection screen by a classified level of activity of the third party on a first axis and by a frequency of activity of the third party on a second axis,
a scheme for achieving the activity corresponding to each selectable action log, and
feelings of at least one of the plurality of third parties when achieving the activity corresponding to at least one selectable action log;

receiving an action log acquisition instruction by a selection by a user of a selected action log corresponding to a selected third party navigator from among the mapped one or more third parties presented in the navigator selection screen; and
incorporating a schedule into schedule information of the user based on the received action log acquisition instruction,
wherein a comparison graph is displayed that compares achievement levels between the user and another user.

7. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having embodied thereon a computer program, which when executed by a processor of a computer causes the processor to execute a method, the method comprising:
generating presentation information to present a plurality of selectable action logs based on lifestyle information, each selectable action log corresponding to activity performed by one or more of a plurality of third parties, wherein the presentation information includes
a display process that maps each third party of the one or more third parties corresponding to each selectable action log presented in a navigator selection screen by a classified level of activity of the third party on a first axis and by a frequency of activity of the third party on a second axis,
a scheme for achieving the activity corresponding to each selectable action log, and
feelings of at least one of the plurality of third parties when achieving the activity corresponding to at least one selectable action log;

receiving an action log acquisition instruction by a selection by a user of a selected action log corresponding to a selected third party navigator from among the mapped one or more third parties presented in the navigator selection screen; and
incorporating a schedule into schedule information of the user based on the received action log acquisition instruction,
wherein a comparison graph is displayed that compares achievement levels between the user and another user.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein data of the selected action log is adjusted prior to incorporation into the schedule information of the user.

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the schedule of the user is adjusted in order to achieve a target action based on the selected action log.

10. The information processing apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein each third party of the plurality of third parties is a person who has successfully achieved the same target action.

11. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein an action result of the selected action log is registered in the schedule information of the user.

12. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the selected action log corresponds to preference information of the user.

13. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the schedule is further incorporated into the schedule information of the user with the frequency of activity of the selected action log.

14. The information processing method according to claim 6 , wherein the schedule is further incorporated into the schedule information of the user with the frequency of activity of the selected action log.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein the schedule is further incorporated into the schedule information of the user with the frequency of activity of the selected action log.

16. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the presentation information further includes a histogram display representing a number of the plurality of selectable action logs classified into each level of activity.

17. The information processing method according to claim 6 , wherein the presentation information further includes a histogram display representing a number of the plurality of selectable action logs classified into each level of activity.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein the presentation information further includes a histogram display representing a number of the plurality of selectable action logs classified into each level of activity.
