Information processing apparatus and method, and program

An information processing apparatus comprising:

• a communication unit that transmits low accuracy position information having first accuracy and indicating a position of an object within a space where a user is located, and transmits additional information for obtaining position information having second accuracy higher than the first accuracy, indicating the position of the object within the space, and corresponding to a position of the user, in response to a request from a transmission destination of the low accuracy position information.

An information processing method performed by an information processing apparatus, comprising:

• transmitting low accuracy position information that has first accuracy and indicates a position of an object within a space where a user is located;
• and
• transmitting additional information for obtaining position information that has second accuracy higher than the first accuracy, indicates the position of the object within the space, and corresponds to a position of the user, in response to a request from a transmission destination of the low accuracy position information.

A program under which a computer executes a process comprising steps of:

• transmitting low accuracy position information that has first accuracy and indicates a position of an object within a space where a user is located;
• and
• transmitting additional information for obtaining position information that has second accuracy higher than the first accuracy, indicates the position of the object within the space, and corresponds to a position of the user, in response to a request from a transmission destination of the low accuracy position information.
