Claim 8:
9. An information processing method, comprising:
in an information processing system that includes processing circuitry:
acquiring, by the processing circuitry, a behavior history of a first user of a plurality of users;
determining, by the processing circuitry, a first level of a specific emotion based on the behavior history;
acquiring image data of the first user;
recognizing, from the image data, an item associated with an occurrence of the specific emotion;
extracting a first keyword associated with the first level of the specific emotion;
controlling, by the processing circuitry, a storage device to store, as an emotion history, the first level of the specific emotion, a date and time and a position at which the specific emotion occurs, the item, and the first keyword;
predicting, by the processing circuitry, a second level of the specific emotion in a specific place at a specific date and time based on a relation between the emotion history and at least one of the specific date and time, the specific place or a second keyword associated with the specific date and time or the specific place;
extracting the item associated with the occurrence of the specific emotion from the emotion history;
receiving a request from an external device associated with the first user;
generating, by the processing circuitry, an emotion forecast map based on the second level of the specific emotion and the request from the external device,

wherein

the emotion forecast map corresponds to an image that includes the extracted item and icons,
the icons indicate the second level of the specific emotion at the specific date and time and

transmitting the emotion forecast map to the external device, wherein the external device displays the emotion forecast map to the first user.
