Abstract An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to: receive a predetermined input operation for the information processing apparatus; and perform control to switch a state of a different information processing apparatus from a restricted state to a restriction-removed state in response to receiving of the predetermined input operation, the restricted state being a state in which an input operation for the different information processing apparatus is restricted, the restriction-removed state being a state in which a restriction on the input operation for the different information processing apparatus is removed. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An information processing apparatus comprising: a processor configured to: receive a predetermined input operation for the information processing apparatus; and perform control to switch a state of a different information processing apparatus from a restricted state to a restriction-removed state in response to receiving of the predetermined input operation, the restricted state being a state in which an input operation for the different information processing apparatus is restricted, the restriction-removed state being a state in which a restriction on the input operation for the different information processing apparatus is removed. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to perform control, when the different information processing apparatus is in a predetermined state and also in the restricted state, to switch the state of the different information processing apparatus from the restricted state to the restriction-removed state in response to the receiving of the predetermined input operation for the information processing apparatus. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The information processing apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the predetermined state is a state in which a positional relationship between the different information processing apparatus and a user of the different information processing apparatus satisfies a predetermined condition. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The information processing apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the predetermined condition is a condition that a distance between the different information processing apparatus and the user is smaller than or equal to a predetermined value. ### Claim 5 (depends on 3) The information processing apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the predetermined condition is a condition that the different information processing apparatus is worn on the user. ### Claim 6 (depends on 2) The information processing apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the predetermined state is a state in which a positional relationship between the different information processing apparatus and the information processing apparatus satisfies a predetermined condition. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The information processing apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the predetermined condition is a condition that the different information processing apparatus and the information processing apparatus have a predetermined top-bottom positional relationship. ### Claim 8 (depends on 2) The information processing apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the processor is configured to perform control, when information indicating that the different information processing apparatus is in the predetermined state is received from the different information processing apparatus, to switch the state of the different information processing apparatus from the restricted state to the restriction-removed state in response to the receiving of the predetermined input operation for the information processing apparatus. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The information processing apparatus according to claim 8, wherein the information indicating that the different information processing apparatus is in the predetermined state is information indicating an image captured by the different information processing apparatus. ### Claim 10 (depends on 2) The information processing apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the processor is configured to perform control, when the information processing apparatus detects that the different information processing apparatus is in the predetermined state, to switch the state of the different information processing apparatus from the restricted state to the restriction-removed state in response to the receiving of the predetermined input operation for the information processing apparatus. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The information processing apparatus according to claim 10, wherein the information processing apparatus detects that the different information processing apparatus is in the predetermined state, based on information indicating an image of the different information processing apparatus captured by the information processing apparatus. ### Claim 12 (depends on 2) The information processing apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the processor is configured to perform control, after the state of the different information processing apparatus has been switched from the restricted state to the restriction-removed state, to switch the state of the different information processing apparatus from the restriction-removed state to the restricted state when the different information processing apparatus becomes no longer in the predetermined state. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The information processing apparatus according to claim 12, wherein the processor is configured to perform control, after the state of the different information processing apparatus has been switched from the restricted state to the restriction-removed state, to switch the state of the different information processing apparatus from the restriction-removed state to the restricted state when the different information processing apparatus is continuously no longer in the predetermined state for a predetermined time. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to perform control to output information from the different information processing apparatus when the state of the different information processing apparatus is switched from the restricted state to the restriction-removed state, the information to be output from the different information processing apparatus being different from information output from the information processing apparatus. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The information processing apparatus according to claim 14, wherein the information to be output from the different information processing apparatus is information specified by a user. ### Claim 16 An information processing method comprising: receiving a predetermined input operation for the information processing apparatus; and performing control to switch a state of a different information processing apparatus from a restricted state to a restriction-removed state in response to receiving of the predetermined input operation, the restricted state being a state in which an input operation for the different information processing apparatus is restricted, the restriction-removed state being a state in which a restriction on the input operation for the different information processing apparatus is removed. ### Claim 17 A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process, the process comprising: receiving a predetermined input operation for the information processing apparatus; and performing control to switch a state of a different information processing apparatus from a restricted state to a restriction-removed state in response to receiving of the predetermined input operation, the restricted state being a state in which an input operation for the different information processing apparatus is restricted, the restriction-removed state being a state in which a restriction on the input operation for the different information processing apparatus is removed.
