Abstract

The present disclosure relates to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a program by which learning data can be transferred to another agent. In a case of transferring learning data to another user, the learning data is divided into learning data of a private type depending on an individual and learning data of a public type excluding it and only learning data of the public type is only transferred. In a case of transferring it to an agent of a new vehicle, it is classified into individual-dependent data, vehicle type-dependent data, and general-purpose data and only the general-purpose data is transferred. Only in a case where a vehicle type of the new vehicle is the same as the vehicle type which has been used at that time, the vehicle type-dependent data is also transferred. The present disclosure can be applied to intelligent agents.

First claim

1 . An information processing apparatus, comprising:
a storage unit that stores learning data in association with a user who uses hardware; an operation determination unit that determines an operation of the hardware on a basis of the learning data; and a presentation unit that presents an option of learning data available to the user out of the learning data stored in the storage unit, wherein the operation determination unit determines an operation on a basis of learning data selected from the option presented by the presentation unit.

2 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the learning data includes private data depending on the user and public data other than the private data, and the presentation unit presents the public data as an option as learning data available to the operation determination unit out of the learning data stored in the storage unit.

3 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein
the learning data includes individual-dependent data depending on an individual of the hardware, type-dependent data depending on a type of the hardware, and general-purpose data not depending on the hardware, and the presentation unit presents, when the user uses other hardware different from the hardware and causes the operation determination unit of the other hardware to determine an operation, options including private data and public data of the general-purpose data out of learning data stored in association with the hardware.

4 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein
in a case where the hardware and the other hardware are of a same type, the presentation unit presents, when the user uses other hardware different from the hardware and causes the operation determination unit of the other hardware to determine an operation, options including private data and public data of each of the type-dependent data and the general-purpose data out of learning data stored in association with the other hardware.

5 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein
the presentation unit presents options for discarding each of the private data and the public data of the individual-dependent data, the type-dependent data, and the general-purpose data out of the learning data.

6 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein
the learning data is constructed for each hardware module used by the user, and the presentation unit presents
another option for selecting the hardware to which the learning data is to be transferred, and
an option of the learning data available to the operation determination unit of the hardware, the option being public data of learning data learned by the hardware used by the user out of the learning data stored in the storage unit.

7 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein
the learning data is constructed for each hardware module used by the user and includes individual-dependent data depending on an individual of the hardware, type-dependent data depending on a type of the hardware, and general-purpose data not depending on the hardware, and the presentation unit presents
another option for selecting the hardware to which the learning data is to be transferred, and
options of the learning data available to the operation determination unit of another hardware different from the hardware, the options being public data and private data of the general-purpose data of learning data learned by the hardware used by the user out of the learning data stored in the storage unit.

8 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the hardware is a vehicle, the learning data includes individual-dependent data depending on an individual of the vehicle, vehicle type-dependent data depending on four vehicle types of the vehicle, and general-purpose data not depending on the vehicle, the individual-dependent data includes a repair history, a distance travelled, remodeling information, a collision history, and a residual amount of gasoline, the vehicle type-dependent data includes fuel consumption, a maximum speed, information regarding whether or not travelling on a route navigated is possible, sensing data for detecting a vehicle operation, information regarding whether or not automatic driving is possible, and a route travelled in automatic driving, which are commonly determined for each vehicle type of the vehicle, and the general-purpose data includes route information, near-store information, a visited-place history, a history of conversation with an agent, a drive manner, heavy braking, number of honking times, smoking or no-smoking, weather, three-dimensional data regarding a building, a road, and the like, and external information.

9 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , comprising
an anonymization unit that anonymizes data regarding an operation determined on a basis of the learning data, wherein the storage unit stores the data regarding the operation determined on the basis of the learning data by the operation determination unit in a state in which the data is anonymized by the anonymization unit.

10 . An information processing method for an information processing apparatus including
a storage unit that stores learning data in association with a user who uses hardware, an operation determination unit that determines an operation of the hardware on a basis of the learning data, and a presentation unit that presents an option of learning data available to the user out of the learning data stored in the storage unit, the information processing method comprising: a step of determining, by the operation determination unit an operation on a basis of learning data selected from the option presented by the presentation unit.

11 . A program for a computer including
a storage unit that stores learning data in association with a user who uses hardware, an operation determination unit that determines an operation of the hardware on a basis of the learning data, and a presentation unit that presents an option of learning data available to the user out of the learning data stored in the storage unit, the program causing the computer to execute processing of determining, by the operation determination unit an operation on a basis of learning data selected from the option presented by the presentation unit.
