Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes: a distance measuring sensor which measures a distance to an object; a memory which temporarily stores distance information indicative of the distance measured by the distance measuring sensor; and a processor which executes processing based on the distance information. The processor performs person detection processing to detect a person present within a first distance range using the distance measuring sensor, and face direction determination processing to determine a face orientation of the person when the person is detected within the first distance range by the person detection processing. In the face direction determination processing, when the person detected by the person detection processing is within a second distance range closer than the first distance range, the processor determines a face orientation of the person using the distance measuring sensor.
