## Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a position specifying unit that specifies a position of each member of an assembly, a biometric information acquiring unit that acquires biometric information from members of which the number is smaller than the number of all members, an activeness degree specifying unit that specifies, from the biometric information acquired by the biometric information acquiring unit, an activeness degree of the member from which the biometric information is acquired by the biometric information acquiring unit, and specifies, from the activeness degree and the position specified by the position specifying unit, an activeness degree of a member other than the member from which the biometric information is acquired by the biometric information acquiring unit among the members, and a determination unit that determines a state of the assembly from the activeness degree specified by the activeness degree specifying unit.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An information processing apparatus comprising:
a processor configured to
specify a position of each member of an assembly;
acquire biometric information from members of which the number is smaller than the number of all members;
specify, from the biometric information acquired by the processor, an activeness degree of the member from which the biometric information is acquired by the processor, and specify, from the activeness degree and the position specified by the processor, an activeness degree of a member other than the member from which the biometric information is acquired by the processor among the members; and
determine a state of the assembly from the activeness degree specified by the processor.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 1,
wherein the processor is configured to specify the position of the member from a video that is acquired from a capturing unit which captures the member.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 2,
wherein the processor is configured to:
set a person captured in the video after a predetermined time period as the member, and
specify the position of the member.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to:
specify a state of the member, and
specify, further using the state specified by the processor, the activeness degree of the member from which the biometric information is acquired by the processor, and specify, further using the state specified by the processor, the activeness degree of the member other than the member from which the biometric information is acquired by the processor among the members.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 4,
wherein the processor is further configured to specify: as the state, an attitude of the member specified from a video acquired by a capturing unit which captures the member.

### Claim 6 (depends on 4)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the processor is further configured to:
specify whether or not the member utters as the state, and
specify the activeness degree of the member from which the biometric information is acquired by the processor, when the state specified by the processor indicates that uttering is not performed, and specify the activeness degree of the member other than the member from which the biometric information is acquired by the processor among the members, when the state specified by the processor indicates that uttering is not performed.

### Claim 7

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to function as:
a processor configured to:
specify a position of each member of an assembly;
acquire biometric information from members of which the number is smaller than the number of all members;
specify, from the biometric information acquired by the processor, an activeness degree of the member from which the biometric information is acquired by the processor, and specify, from the activeness degree and the position specified by the processor, an activeness degree of a member other than the member from which the biometric information is acquired by the processor among the members; and
determine a state of the assembly from the activeness degree specified by the processor.
