Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a recognition unit that recognizes arrival of a user at a reservable space, and a switch unit that, in a case where the user is allowed to use the reservable space, switches from a state of blocking usage of the reservable space by the user to a state of not blocking the usage of the reservable space.

Claims (34)

1 . An information processing apparatus comprising:

a recognition unit that recognizes arrival of user at a reservable space; and

a switch unit that, in a case where the user is allowed to use the reservable space, switches from a state of blocking usage of the reservable space to a state of not blocking the usage of the reservable space.

2 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the switch unit allows the usage of the reservable space to the user in a case where the user has a predetermined authority to use the reservable space.

3 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the authority is given to the user in a case where a reservation to use the reservable space is made.

4 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the authority is given to the user in a case where payment to use the reservable space is made.

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

a detection unit that detects an operation performed on the information processing apparatus by the user,

wherein the recognition unit recognizes the user in a case where the detection unit detects the operation.

6 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 ,

wherein the operation is an operation of moving the information processing apparatus.

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

a warning unit that gives a warning in a case where the detection unit detects the operation.

8 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 7 ,

wherein the warning unit blocks the usage of the reservable space by issuing an alarm.

9 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 7 ,

wherein the warning unit stops the warning in a case where the usage of the reservable space is allowed to the user.

10 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , further comprising:

an addition unit that additionally gives a second authority to the user as the predetermined authority other than the authority to use the reservable space in a case where the usage of the reservable space is allowed.

11 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 10 ,

wherein the second authority is used to allow usage of a target other than the reservable space.

12 . A reservation system comprising:

a reservable space;

a reception unit that receives a reservation of the reservable space; and

an information processing unit that allows a user to use the reservable space, the reservable space being reserved for the user by the reservation,

wherein the information processing unit includes

a recognition unit that recognizes arrival of the user at the reservable space, and

a switch unit that, in a case where the user is allowed to use the reservable space, switches from a state of blocking the usage of the space to a state of not blocking the usage of the space.

13 . A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to realize

a recognition function of recognizing arrival of a user at a reservable space; and

a switch function of switching, in a case where the recognized user is allowed to use the reservable space, from a state of blocking usage of the space to a state of not blocking the usage of the space.
