Abstract

An example of an information processing system includes a stationary type device, a hand-held type device, and a server. The stationary type device senses user information for evaluating health of a user. The hand-held type device transmits the user information sensed by the stationary type device and/or information calculated from the user information to the server as transmission information. The server transmits, to the hand-held type device, service data for providing the user with a network service in accordance with an evaluation result of health, indicated by the transmission information transmitted from the hand-held type device and/or calculated from the transmission information.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An information processing system comprising a stationary type device, a hand-held type device that is a multifunctional terminal and is connectable to the stationary type device, and a server communicable with the hand-held type device via a wide area network, the stationary type device being installed around a user in bed, and sensing biological information of the user in sleep,
the hand-held type device transmitting, to the server as transmission information, the biological information sensed by the stationary type device and/or information calculated from the biological information, the server transmitting, to the hand-held type device, service data associated with a network service for improving an evaluation result obtained from an evaluation of sleep of the user, the evaluation being performed on the basis of the biological information, and the hand-held type device presenting the user with an image and/or a sound associated with the service data received from the server regarding a predetermined network service at least in a state of not being connected with the stationary type device.

2 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein
the stationary type device includes a sensor which emits radio waves toward the user in bed, receives reflected waves, and outputs the biological information based on received results.

3 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein
the hand-held type device includes communication means for performing communication through a mobile phone communication network.

4 . An information processing system comprising a stationary type device, a hand-held type device, and a server,
the stationary type device being installed around a user in bed, and sensing, from the user in sleep, user information for evaluating health of the user, the hand-held type device transmitting, to the server as transmission information, the user information sensed by the stationary type device and/or information calculated from the user information, and the server accumulating, in a predetermined storage section as accumulation information, the transmission information transmitted from the hand-held type device and/or information calculated from the transmission information.

5 . The information processing system according to claim 4 , wherein
the server transmits, to the hand-held type device, service data for providing the user with a network service in accordance with an evaluation result of health, the evaluation result being indicated by the transmission information transmitted from the hand-held type device and/or calculated from the transmission information.

6 . The information processing system according to claim 5 , wherein
the stationary type device outputs an image, a light, and/or a sound on the basis of the service data received by the hand-held type device.

7 . The information processing system according to claim 4 , wherein
the stationary type device includes a sensor which senses biological information of the user in a state of not being in contact with the user.

8 . The information processing system according to claim 4 , wherein
the stationary type device includes an environment sensor which senses at least one of temperature, humidity, illumination intensity, and sound, and the hand-held type device includes, in the transmission information, and transmits to the server, a sensing result from the environment sensor and/or information calculated from the sensing result.

9 . The information processing system according to claim 4 , wherein
the hand-held type device is a multifunctional hand-held terminal.

10 . The information processing system according to claim 4 , wherein
the stationary type device initiates sensing of the user information in response to becoming communicable with the hand-held type device.

11 . The information processing system according to claim 10 , wherein
the hand-held type device is mountable or placeable on the stationary type device, and the stationary type device initiates sensing of the user information in response to mounting or placing of the hand-held type device.

12 . The information processing system according to claim 11 , wherein
the stationary type device continues sensing of the user information even when the hand-held type device is removed from the stationary type device.

13 . The information processing system according to claim 4 , wherein
the information processing system calculates a sleep index related to sleep of the user on the basis of the user information, and operation and/or function of the hand-held type device are/is controlled depending on the sleep index.

14 . An information processing system comprising a stationary type device, a hand-held type device, and a server,
the hand-held type device being electrically connectable to the stationary type device, the stationary type device including:
charging means for supplying power to the hand-held type device electrically connected to the stationary type device to charge the hand-held type device; and
sensing means for sensing user information for evaluating health of a user,
the hand-held type device transmitting, to the server as transmission information, the user information sensed by the stationary type device and/or information calculated from the user information, and the server accumulating, in a predetermined storage section as accumulation information, the transmission information transmitted from the hand-held type device and/or information calculated from the transmission information.

15 . The information processing system according to claim 14 , wherein
the hand-held type device calculates information related to health of the user on the basis of the user information, and transmits the calculated information to the server as the transmission information.

16 . The information processing system according to claim 14 , wherein
the charging means charges the hand-held type device which is a transmission destination of the user information while the user information is being sensed.

17 . The information processing system according to claim 14 , wherein
the stationary type device initiates sensing of the user information in response to mounting or placing of the hand-held type device.

18 . The information processing system according to claim 14 , wherein
the hand-held type device becomes electrically connected and communicable with the stationary type device when being mounted on the stationary type device.

19 . An information processing method to be executed in an information processing system including a stationary type device, a hand-held type device, and a server, wherein
the stationary type device is installed around a user in bed and senses user information for evaluating health of a user from the user in sleep, the hand-held type device transmits, to the server as transmission information, user information sensed by the stationary type device and/or information calculated from the user information, and the server accumulates, in a predetermined storage section as accumulation information, the transmission information transmitted from the hand-held type device and/or information calculated from the transmission information.

20 . An information processing method to be executed in an information processing system including a stationary type device, a hand-held type device, and a server, wherein
