Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes a use determination processing portion, a first acquisition processing portion, and a time notification processing portion. The use determination processing portion determines whether or not its associated information processing apparatus is in use. The first acquisition processing portion, when a use request of its associated information processing apparatus is received in a state where the use determination processing portion has determined that its associated information processing apparatus is in use, acquires a planned use time of its associated information processing apparatus via an input operation performed on an operation portion of its associated information processing apparatus. The time notification processing portion notifies a first information processing apparatus that is a transmission source of the use request, of the planned use time acquired by the first acquisition processing portion.
