Information providing method

An information providing method that uses a first information processing apparatus which includes a processor and memory,

• wherein a container, a first sensor that detects an activity of a user, and a second sensor that detects movement of an object or contact with an object are disposed in a space, and
• the processor:
• obtains information indicating the activity of the user detected by the first sensor;
• obtains, from the memory, information indicating movement of an object related to a predefined activity or contact with an object related to the predefined activity, the predefined activity being related to a sport or a game;
• when (i) the information indicating the activity of the user includes information indicating the predefined activity and (ii) movement of an object related to the predefined activity or contact with an object related to the predefined activity is detected by the second sensor after the first sensor detects the activity of the user, generates first information indicating that the user has performed the predefined activity related to a sport or a game;
• obtains, from a second information processing apparatus connected to the first information processing apparatus, information indicating first request content over a network;
• and
• when content of the first information is included in the first request content, outputs, to the second information processing apparatus, second information including information for identifying the user or the space, using the first information generated.
