acquire a second motion data indicating a motion of a second operator, the second motion data comprising a second time series;
synchronize the first motion data and the second motion data by detecting sharp rising data edges that are common to the first and second time series and adjusting rising time positions;
compare the first motion data and the second motion data;
determine a similarity of the first motion data and the second motion data; and
present to the first operator instruction data indicating an improvement point relating to a motion at a time of performing a predetermined operation in accordance with a determination result,
wherein the first motion data and the second motion data are acquired from one or more motion sensors attached to one or more tools.

2. The information processing device of claim 1 , wherein the hardware processor is further configured to select instruction data to be presented to the first operator from a first storage storing a plurality of instruction data in accordance with the determination result.

3. The information processing device of claim 1 ,
wherein the first motion data is data indicating a motion when the first operator performs the predetermined operation, and
wherein the second motion data is data indicating a motion when the second operator having a higher proficiency level than the first operator performs the predetermined operation.

4. The information processing device of claim 2 ,
wherein the first motion data is data indicating a motion when the first operator performs the predetermined operation, and
wherein the second motion data is data indicating a motion when the second operator having a higher proficiency level than the first operator performs the predetermined operation.

5. The information processing device of claim 2 , further comprising the first storage.

6. The information processing device of claim 2 , wherein the hardware processor is configured to:
acquire the first motion data measured by a first sensor device capable of measuring the first motion data, and concomitant data indicating at least a type of the first sensor device and a measurement body part;
acquire the second motion data measured by a second sensor device, and concomitant data;
compare the first motion data and the second motion data;
detect a difference between the first motion data and the second motion data;
determine a similarity of the first motion data and the second motion data; and
output a result of the determination as a determination result data,
wherein the second sensor device is a sensor device whose measurement body part is the same as a measurement body part of the first motion data, and which type is the same as a type of the first sensor device.

7. The information processing device of claim 6 ,
wherein the first storage is configured to store instruction data in which at least the concomitant data, the determination result data, and a motion improvement instruction for the first operator are associated with each other, and
wherein the hardware processor is configured to select the instruction data including determination result data on the difference and the concomitant data acquired together with first motion data which is a target for comparison when detecting the difference, as instruction data to be presented to the first operator, if the detected difference is equal to or greater than a predetermined value.

8. The information processing device of claim 6 ,
