Information processing apparatus that controls a camera of a communication device if an associated annotation exists in a management table, information processing method, and storage medium

An information processing method for controlling an information processing apparatus capable of communicating with a communication device, comprising:

• receiving a notification that includes a sensor ID assigned to a predetermined sensor of the communication device;
• and
• performing control to, in a case in which the receiving receives a notification satisfying a predetermined condition, search for an annotation related to the predetermined condition from a predetermined annotation management table based on the sensor ID included in the notification,
• wherein the predetermined annotation management table is configured to store the sensor ID, coordinate information of a camera, and an annotation,
• wherein the coordinate information and the annotation are able to be associated with the sensor ID,
• wherein the control is performed to direct the camera to the coordinate corresponding to the coordinate information associated with the sensor ID, in a case in which the annotation associated with the sensor ID exists in the predetermined annotation management table, and
• wherein the control is further performed to execute a predetermined operation based on a rule set in advance in a case in which the camera is directed towards the annotation associated with the sensor ID.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium configured to store a computer program for controlling an information processing apparatus capable of communicating with a communication device, comprising instructions for executing following processes:

• receiving a notification that includes a sensor ID assigned to a predetermined sensor of the communication device;
• and
• performing control to, in a case in which the receiving receives a notification satisfying a predetermined condition, search for an annotation related to the predetermined condition from a predetermined annotation management table based on the sensor ID included in the notification,
• wherein the predetermined annotation management table is configured to store the sensor ID, coordinate information of a camera, and an annotation,
• wherein the coordinate information and the annotation are able to be associated with the sensor ID,
• wherein the control is performed to direct the camera to the coordinate corresponding to the coordinate information associated with the sensor ID, in a case in which the annotation associated with the sensor ID exists in the predetermined annotation management table, and
• wherein the control is further performed to execute a predetermined operation based on a rule set in advance in a case in which the camera is directed towards the annotation associated with the sensor ID.
