Abstract
An information processing apparatus operable to specify identification information of a communication object that a moving object that carries a reader apparatus holds: receives, from the reader apparatus, identification information read from a communication object near the reader apparatus, and a reading time thereof; stores, in a memory unit, association information that includes association of the received identification information and the reading time; and specifies the identification information of the communication object that the moving object holds based on the association information stored in the memory unit.
Claims16
An information processing apparatus operable to specify identification information of a communication object that a moving object that carries a reader apparatus holds, the apparatus comprising:
- a receiving unit configured to receive, from the reader apparatus, identification information that the reader apparatus read from a communication object near the reader apparatus, and a reading time thereof;
- a storing unit configured to store, in a memory unit, association information that includes association of the identification information received by the receiving unit and the reading time;
- and
- a specifying unit configured to specify the identification information of the communication object that the moving object holds based on the association information stored in the memory unit.
An information processing method for specifying identification information of a communication object that a moving object that carries a reader apparatus holds, the method comprising:
- receiving, from the reader apparatus, identification information that the reader apparatus read from a communication object near the reader apparatus, and a reading time thereof;
- storing, in a memory unit, association information that includes association of the received identification information and the reading time;
- and
- specifying the identification information of the communication object that the moving object holds based on the association information stored in the memory unit.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium operable to store a program for causing a computer to execute an information processing method of specifying identification information of a communication object that a moving object that carries a reader apparatus holds, the method comprising:
- receiving, from the reader apparatus, identification information that the reader apparatus read from a communication object near the reader apparatus, and a reading time thereof;
- storing, in a memory unit, association information that includes association of the received identification information and the reading time;
- and
- specifying the identification information of the communication object that the moving object holds based on the association information stored in the memory unit.
