An information processing apparatus is connected via a network with an external server that manages identification information of wireless apparatuses in a facility, and information about detector apparatuses that detect identification information of the wireless apparatuses. The information processing apparatus includes a circuitry, in communication with a memory, that executes steps of associating the identification information of the wireless apparatus attached to a patient in the facility, with information about a medical care of the patient, to manage the associated information; obtaining the identification information of the wireless apparatus, and the information about the detector apparatus from the external server; managing positional information of the wireless apparatus attached to the patient by using the obtained information; and providing the medical information about the patient having the wireless apparatus attached, by using the positional information of the wireless apparatus attached to the patient.

Information processing apparatus, information processing system, and method for providing information

An identification information transmitter encrypts identification information for identifying a person or an object using an encryption key, transmits the encrypted identification information, and, after receiving another encryption key, switches the encryption key from the encryption key to the other encryption key. A server receives the encrypted identification information from the identification information transmitter, determines whether the encryption key is to be switched, and, if the encryption key is to be switched, generates the other encryption key. Another server authenticates the identification information that an identification information receiver receives from the identification information transmitter, and, if authentication is successful, acquires the other encryption key from the server, and transmits the other encryption key to the identification information receiver. The identification information receiver, when receiving the other encryption key from the second server, transmits the other encryption key to the identification information transmitter.
