Abstract
An information processing apparatus () includes a work target detection unit (), a confusion factor estimation unit (), and a presentation information control unit (). The work target detection unit () detects an attention device group composed of at least one device that a user who is working is paying attention to. The confusion factor estimation unit () sets each device, excluding a work target device, that is included in the attention device group as a target attention device, where the work target device is a device corresponding to work that the user is required to perform, and calculates a relationship score that indicates a relationship between the target attention device and the work target device, and indicates a degree of confusion of the user in choosing between the target attention device and the work target device. The presentation information control unit () refers to a presentation information database that records presentation information, which is information to be presented to the user to help the user to become aware of the work target device, so as to acquire presentation information based on the calculated relationship score.
