<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it possible to calculate each person's power consumption with respect to each appliance from the overall power consumption of a plurality of appliances. <P>SOLUTION: An appliance power consumption estimating unit estimates power consumption of each of a plurality of appliances disposed inside a large region that is divided into a plurality of regions. An appliance presence probability estimating unit estimates appliance presence probability as probability that an appliance is present in a region. A responsibility share determining unit determines a responsibility share as proportion for each person when power consumption in a region is shared by each person who can be present in the large region. A power consumption allocating unit calculates an allocation amount of power consumption for each person on the basis of the power consumption, the appliance presence probability, and the responsibility share for each of the plurality of appliances. The present technique can be applied to, for example, an information processing apparatus for estimating power consumption by each member of a family in a home. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
