Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a registration unit that registers an entity and an executable function in association with each other, the entity being an entity in real space identified by sensing, the executable function being a function executable in response to the entity being identified again.

Claims (40)

1. An information processing apparatus comprising

a processor that registers an entity and an executable function in association with each other, the entity being an entity in real space identified by sensing, the executable function being a function executable in response to the entity being identified again, the processor registers a plurality of entities sensed within a predetermined time as belonging to a group of entities used to execute a coordinated function.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor associates the entity with, as the executable function, a function possessed by the entity.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor associates the entity with, as the executable function, a function not possessed by the entity.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 ,

wherein the processor associates the entity with, as the executable function, a function that is not possessed by the entity and is related to the entity.

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

a notification controller that, in response to the entity being identified again, controls notification of a function associated with the entity.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor associates a portion of the entity with, as the executable function, a function possessed by the portion.

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

a notification controller that, in response to the entity being identified again, controls notification of a function associated with the portion.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor associates a portion of the entity with, as the executable function, a function not possessed by the portion.

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor associates the executable function with a direction with respect to the entity.

10. The information processing apparatus according to claim 9 , further comprising

a notification controller that, in response to the entity being identified from the direction, controls notification of a function associated with the direction.

11. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor associates the entity with, as the executable function, a function that varies according to a type of sensing.

12. The information processing apparatus according to claim 11 , further comprising

a notification controller that, in response to the entity being identified again by using a same type of sensing as the type of sensing used when the entity is registered, controls notification of a function associated with the entity.

13. The information processing apparatus according to claim 11 ,

wherein the type of sensing is still image capture or moving image capture.

14. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor associates, as the executable function, the coordinated function with the plurality of entities in real space identified by sensing, the coordinated function being a function executable by use of the plurality of entities in response to the plurality of entities being identified again.

15. The information processing apparatus according to claim 14 ,

wherein the processor associates, with the plurality of entities, a coordinated function that varies according to an order of sensing the plurality of entities.

16. The information processing apparatus according to claim 14 , further comprising

a notification controller that, in response to the plurality of entities being identified again, controls notification of a coordinated function associated with the plurality of entities.

17. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the executable function is a function that is executable if a condition of sensing used when the entity is registered and a condition of sensing used when the entity is identified again have a correspondence relationship.

18. The information processing apparatus according to claim 17 ,

wherein the condition is a condition determined by at least one of a direction of sensing, a number of times of sensing, a type of sensing, and an order of sensing.

19. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the entity is an entity associated with a device or software, or an entity associated with a file.

20. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process, the process comprising:

registering an entity and an executable function in association with each other, the entity being an entity in real space identified by sensing, the executable function being a function executable in response to the entity being identified again and registering a plurality of entities sensed within a predetermined time as belonging to a group of entities used to execute a coordinated function.
