Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. A processing apparatus for deriving a level of immersion in content, the processing apparatus comprising:
a state data acquisition circuit configured to acquire state data including data indicative of a first reaction of a user during image display of the content and data indicative of a second reaction of the user different from the first reaction during the image display of the content;
a first analysis circuit configured to analyze the data indicative of the first reaction so as to derive a first immersion evaluation value based on the first reaction of the user;
a second analysis circuit configured to analyze the data indicative of the second reaction so as to derive a second immersion evaluation value based on the second reaction of the user;
a weight setting circuit configured to set a weight value for each of the first and second immersion evaluation values; and
an immersion level deriving circuit configured to derive the level of immersion in the content from the first and second immersion evaluation values and from the respective weight values of the first and second immersion evaluation values,
wherein the data indicative of a third reaction of the user is operation data representing only one or more operations performed by the user on an input apparatus during image display of the content, where the one or more operations performed by the user operate to change at least one of the image display of the content and audio data of the content without directly inputting the third reaction of the user beyond the operation data representing the one or more operations performed on the input apparatus.
