Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes a counting unit, a storage control unit, a first determination unit, and a second determination unit. The counting unit counts the number of objects queuing in a waiting line. The storage control unit stores estimated times when the objects enter the waiting line and the number of objects queuing in the waiting line counted by the counting unit in association with each other. The first determination unit determines estimated time when each object exits the waiting line based on the number of objects exiting the waiting line and the number of objects queuing in the waiting line. The second determination unit determines waiting time of each object in the waiting line based on the estimated time when the object enters the waiting line and the estimated time when the object exits the waiting line.
