Abstract
An information processing apparatus that estimates waiting time in a waiting line with improved accuracy includes a first acquisition unit that acquires a number of objects in the waiting line, a second acquisition unit that acquires frequency of an object exiting the waiting line, and an estimation unit that estimates waiting time in the waiting line based on the acquired number of objects in the waiting line and the acquired frequency of an object exiting the waiting line.
Claims21
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a first acquisition unit configured to acquire a number of objects in a waiting line;
- a second acquisition unit configured to acquire frequency of an object exiting the waiting line based on passage of the object through a predetermined position;
- and
- an estimation unit configured to estimate waiting time in the waiting line based on the acquired number of objects in the waiting line and the acquired frequency of an object exiting the waiting line.
An information processing method, the information processing method comprising:
- acquiring of the number of objects in a waiting line;
- acquiring frequency of an object exiting the waiting line based on passage of the object through a predetermined position;
- and
- estimating waiting time in the waiting line based on the acquired number of objects in the waiting line and the acquired frequency of an object exiting the waiting line.
A computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to a method, the method comprising:
- acquiring of the number of objects in a waiting line;
- acquiring frequency of an object exiting the waiting line based on passage of the object through a predetermined position;
- and
- estimating waiting time in the waiting line based on the acquired number of objects in the waiting line and the acquired frequency of an object exiting the waiting line.
