Information processing system capable of automatically configuring settings for functional cooperation between apparatuses, image pickup apparatus, method of controlling the image pickup apparatus, and storage medium

An information processing system including an image pickup apparatus and an information processing apparatus configured to receive predetermined information from the image pickup apparatus,

• wherein the image pickup apparatus is configured to notify the predetermined information to the information processing apparatus in a case where an approach of a user to the information processing apparatus is detected, and comprises:
• a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer-executable program;
• and
• a computer communicatively connected to the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium and configured by the computer-executable program at least to:
• set a detection frame extracted from picked-up image data obtained by picking up an image of the information processing apparatus, so as to detect the user's approach to the information processing apparatus;
• determine whether or not the set detection frame has a size at least larger than a predetermined threshold value;
• enable a function of detecting whether or not the user has approached the information processing apparatus, using the detection frame, in a case where it is determined that the size of the detection frame at least is not larger than the predetermined threshold value;
• and
• disable the function of detecting whether or not the user has approached the information processing apparatus, using the detection frame, in a case where it is determined that the size of the detection frame at least is larger than the predetermined threshold value.

A method of controlling an image pickup apparatus that notifies predetermined information to an information processing apparatus in a case where an approach of a user to the information processing apparatus is detected, comprising:

• a computer of the image pickup apparatus setting a detection frame extracted from picked-up image data obtained by picking up an image of the information processing apparatus, so as to detect the user's approach to the information processing apparatus;
• the computer determining whether or not the detection frame set by said setting of the detection frame has a size at least larger than a predetermined threshold value;
• the computer enabling a function of detecting whether or not the user has approached the information processing apparatus, using the detection frame, in a case where it is determined by said determining that the size of the detection frame at least is not larger than the predetermined threshold value;
• and
• the computer disabling the function of detecting whether or not the user has approached the information processing apparatus, using the detection frame, in a case where it is determined that the size of the detection frame at least is larger than the predetermined threshold value.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer-executable program for executing a method of controlling an image pickup apparatus configured to notify predetermined information to an information processing apparatus in a case where an approach of a user to the information processing apparatus is detected,

• wherein the method comprises:
• setting a detection frame extracted from picked-up image data obtained by picking up an image of the information processing apparatus, so as to detect the user's approach to the information processing apparatus;
• determining whether or not the detection frame set by said setting of the detection frame has a size at least larger than a predetermined threshold value;
• enabling a function of detecting whether or not the user has approached the information processing apparatus, using the detection frame, in a case where it is determined by said determining that the size of the detection frame at least is not larger than the predetermined threshold value;
• and
• disabling the function of detecting whether or not the user has approached the information processing apparatus, using the detection frame, in a case where it is determined that the size of the detection frame at least is larger than the predetermined threshold value.
