Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes an emitting unit that emits a marker signal including apparatus identification information of the apparatus to a predetermined region; an acquiring unit that associates terminal identification information for identifying a terminal with the apparatus identification information and acquires the associated information from the terminal; a registering unit that, if the apparatus identification information acquired by the acquiring unit is the apparatus identification information emitted from the emitting unit, registers the acquired terminal identification information as terminal identification information of a terminal in the region; and a transmitting unit that, when a request for searching an information processing apparatus is received from a terminal, transmits the apparatus identification information to the terminal if terminal identification information of the terminal making the request is registered in the registering unit, and does not transmit the apparatus identification information if the terminal identification information is not registered.
