Abstract
Provided is an information processing apparatus including: a wireless station information acquisition unit which acquires information showing wireless stations with which a terminal apparatus is capable of communicating; a clustering unit which generates a wireless station cluster by clustering the wireless stations based on a time at which the wireless stations are capable of communicating with the terminal apparatus; and a stay detection unit which detects a state in which the terminal apparatus is capable of communicating with wireless stations included in the wireless station cluster as a state in which the terminal apparatus is staying at a location corresponding to the wireless station cluster.
Claims19
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- circuitry configured to
- acquire information showing wireless stations with which a terminal apparatus is capable of communicating,
- generate a wireless station cluster by clustering the wireless stations based on a time at which the wireless stations are capable of communicating with the terminal apparatus, and
- detect a state in which the terminal apparatus is capable of communicating with wireless stations included in the wireless station cluster as a state in which the terminal apparatus is staying at a location corresponding to the wireless station cluster, wherein
- the circuitry is configured to acquire, as information showing the wireless stations, first information which shows wireless stations of a first communication system, and second information which shows wireless stations of a second communication system having a communication area encompassing a communication area of wireless stations of the first communication system,
- the circuitry is configured to, when a state is detected in which the terminal apparatus is staying at the location, cause a measurement operation in the terminal apparatus to be stopped, and
- the circuitry is configured to
- respectively detect a state in which the terminal apparatus is staying at a location corresponding to a first wireless station cluster and a state in which the terminal apparatus is staying at a location corresponding to a second wireless station cluster, and
- when a state is no longer detected in which the terminal apparatus is staying at the location corresponding to the second wireless station cluster, stop an acquisition of the first information, or extend an acquisition interval of the first information.
