Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a display device, a detection unit that detects a terminal apparatus located around the information processing apparatus and carried by a user, and a display control unit that causes the display device to display a terminal image, which is an image corresponding to the terminal apparatus detected by the detection unit, and an information image, which is an image corresponding to information to be provided for the terminal apparatus.

Claims (38)

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a display device;

a detection unit that detects a terminal apparatus located around the information processing apparatus and carried by a user;

a display control unit that displays, on the display device, a terminal image, which is an image corresponding to the terminal apparatus detected by the detection unit, and an information image, which is an image corresponding to information to be provided for the terminal apparatus; and

a detection unit that detects movement of the user around the information processing apparatus in a circumferential direction of the information processing apparatus, wherein

when the user around the information processing apparatus is detected as moving in the circumferential direction of the information processing apparatus, the display control unit causes the display device to change a content of display displayed on the display device by moving the images displayed on a display screen of the display device along a circumference of the display screen.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the information corresponding to the information image is provided for the terminal apparatus corresponding to the terminal image on a basis of an operation for moving the information image to the terminal image.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the display device is provided with the display screen facing upward, and

wherein, when the information processing apparatus is viewed from above, the terminal image is displayed on the display device with a direction from a center of the display screen of the display device to the terminal apparatus and a direction from the center to the terminal image matching.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the display control unit displays the terminal image closer to the circumference of the display screen than the information image is.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 ,

wherein the display control unit displays the information image at a center of the display screen.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a processing unit that performs a predetermined process when an operation for associating the information image and the terminal image with each other is performed.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 6 ,

wherein, when an operation for at least partly overlapping the information image and the terminal image is performed, the processing unit performs the predetermined process.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 6 ,

wherein, when an operation for moving either the information image or the terminal image to the other is performed, the processing unit performs the predetermined process.

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the information processing apparatus has a columnar shape, one end of the information processing apparatus is located on a floor side, and the other end of the information processing apparatus is provided with the display device facing upward.

10. The information processing apparatus according to claim 9 ,

wherein the information processing apparatus has a round shape or an elliptical shape in cross section, and the display screen of the display device has a round shape or an elliptical shape.

11. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein, when the terminal apparatus is one of a plurality of terminal apparatuses located around the information processing apparatus, the display control unit displays terminal images each corresponding to one of the plurality of terminal apparatuses on the display device.

12. The information processing apparatus according to claim 11 ,

wherein the display device is provided with the display screen facing upward, and

wherein, when the information processing apparatus is viewed from above, each of the terminal images corresponding to each of the plurality of terminal apparatuses is displayed on the display device with a direction from a center of the display screen of the display device to the corresponding terminal apparatus and a direction from the center to the terminal image corresponding to the terminal apparatus matching.

13. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an illuminant; and

a user information display unit that displays information regarding the user around the information processing apparatus by changing a color of the illuminant.

14. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer provided for an information processing apparatus including a display device to execute a process comprising:

displaying, on the display device, a terminal image, which is an image corresponding to a terminal apparatus carried by a user around the information processing apparatus;

displaying, on the display device, an information image, which is an image corresponding to information to be provided for the terminal apparatus;

detecting movement of the user around the information processing apparatus in a circumferential direction of the information processing apparatus; and

causing the display device to change a content of display displayed on the display device by moving the images displayed on a display screen of the display device along a circumference of the display screen when the user around the information processing apparatus is detected as moving in the circumferential direction of the information processing apparatus.
