An information processing apparatus is provided that includes a processor coupled to a memory and configured to execute steps of storing corresponding information associating a predetermined event with apparatus information of an output apparatus, among the plurality of output apparatuses, that is installed at a predetermined position, and a control to be implemented with respect to the output apparatus; collecting event information relating to the predetermined event that is occurring; selecting the control to be implemented with respect to the output apparatus based on the collected event information; and instructing the output apparatus to implement the selected control.

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

A system in accordance with the present disclosure comprises a sensor and an information processing apparatus that includes processing circuitry. The sensor is installed on a surface so that a detection direction of the sensor is at a non-zero angle from a line normal to the surface. The processing circuitry is configured to communicate with the sensor, calculate a position of a detection area, in which the sensor detects an object in a predetermined space, according to the non-zero angle and a location of the sensor on the surface, and create correspondence information that associates an area of the predetermined space with the detection area.

System, information process apparatus and information processing method

A device control system includes a detecting apparatus configured to detect an object in a predetermined space, and an information processing apparatus configured to control an illuminating apparatus based on a detection result of the object. The device control system includes an obtaining unit configured to obtain, from the detecting apparatus, information relating to an illuminance in the predetermined space; and a control unit configured to control, when the illuminance in the predetermined space falls below a first targeted illuminance, the illuminating apparatus so that the illuminance in the predetermined space becomes a second targeted illuminance that is greater than the first illuminance.

Device control system, information processing apparatus, and non-transitory recording medium

An information processing apparatus is provided that includes a memory and a processor couple to the memory and configured to execute steps of storing corresponding information associating a predetermined event with position information relating to a position of an output apparatus and providing information corresponding to the position; acquiring sender information from a sender, wherein the sender information includes sender identification information of the sender and the own apparatus information that has been output by the output apparatus and acquired by the sender; collecting event information relating to the predetermined event that is occurring; selecting the providing information to be provided to the sender based on the acquired sender information and the collected event information; and sending the selected providing information to the sender.

An information processing apparatus includes circuitry that acquires a measured temperature of a target area from a measuring device, detects whether the measured temperature changes during a predetermined time period, determines whether a human exists in the target area based on the measured temperature and the detection result indicating whether the measured temperature changes during the predetermined time period, measures a duration of time in which the determination result indicating that the human exists in the target area and the detection result indicating that there is no temperature change are kept generated, and determines that there is no human in the target area even when the determination result indicates that the human exists, if the measured duration of time reaches a certain time period, the certain time period being modifiable based on history information indicating a previously generated determination result indicating whether the human exits in the target area.

Information processing apparatus, human presence determining method, and recording medium storing determining program

A disclosed image file generating apparatus includes an original document reader, a dividing preferences input, a name preferences input, and an image file generator. The original document reader converts an original document to original image data. The dividing preferences input inputs dividing preferences information, including divide number information specifying a number of originals to be included in each of a predetermined number of image files. The name preference input inputs name preferences information, including file name information specifying a file name to be assigned to each of the image files and file initial number information specifying an initial sequential number to be assigned to each of the image files. The image file generator generates the image files corresponding to the original image data according to the dividing preferences and the name preferences.
