Abstract

An electronic apparatus includes a memory that stores an information processing program and a processor that executes the information processing program. When the processor executes the information processing program, the processor acquires setting information generated by one or more terminal apparatuses with respect to the electronic apparatus, periodically acquires position information of the one or more terminal apparatuses with respect to the electronic apparatus, determines a terminal apparatus closest to the electronic apparatus out of the one or more terminal apparatuses, and sets, in the electronic apparatus, the setting information acquired from the terminal apparatus closest to the electronic apparatus.

Claims (50)

1. An information processing system, comprising:

an electronic apparatus; and

one or more terminal apparatuses,

each of the one or more terminal apparatuses including

a first memory that stores a first information processing program, and

a first processor that executes the first information processing program,

when the first processor executes the first information processing program, the first processor

capturing a marker attached to the electronic apparatus by a camera, and acquiring captured data,

calculating a distance between the terminal apparatus and the electronic apparatus based on the size of the marker included in the captured data, and generating position information indicating the calculated distance,

generating setting information of the electronic apparatus, and

transmitting the generated position information and the generated setting information to the electronic apparatus, and

the electronic apparatus including

a second memory that stores a second information processing program, and

a second processor that executes the second information processing program,

when the second processor executes the second information processing program, the second processor

acquiring the setting information generated by the one or more terminal apparatuses with respect to the electronic apparatus,

periodically acquiring the position information of the one or more terminal apparatuses with respect to the electronic apparatus,

determining a terminal apparatus closest to the electronic apparatus out of the one or more terminal apparatuses,

setting, in the electronic apparatus, the setting information acquired from the terminal apparatus closest to the electronic apparatus, and

executing a function based on the set setting information.

2. The information processing system according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a server apparatus,

when the first processor executes the first information processing program, the first processor further

subjecting the captured data to image recognition, and determining a type of the electronic apparatus uniquely identified by the marker,

acquiring a setting application of the electronic apparatus of the type from the server apparatus, and

activating the setting application, and generating the setting information based on a user operation.

3. The information processing system according to claim 1 ,

each of the one or more terminal apparatuses further including an acceleration sensor,

when the first processor executes the first information processing program, the first processor further

after transmitting the generated position information and the generated setting information to the electronic apparatus, updating the position information based on the generated position information and acceleration data detected by the acceleration sensor, and

transmitting the updated position information to the electronic apparatus.

4. The information processing system according to claim 1 ,

when the second processor executes the second information processing program, the second processor further

generating a list in which the one or more terminal apparatuses are arranged from the terminal apparatus closest to the electronic apparatus, and

updating the list every time the position information is acquired periodically.

5. The information processing system according to claim 4 ,

when the second processor executes the second information processing program, the second processor further

adding, upon acquiring setting information and position information from a new terminal apparatus not on the list, the new terminal apparatus to a bottom of the list.

6. The information processing system according to claim 5 ,

when the second processor executes the second information processing program, the second processor further

determining that a distance between the terminal apparatus on the list and the electronic apparatus has become equal to or larger than a threshold value, and

deleting the determined terminal apparatus from the list.

7. The information processing system according to claim 1 ,

when the second processor executes the second information processing program, the second processor further

executing a function based on the set setting information, and

deleting, upon executing the function based on the setting information, the terminal apparatus that has generated the setting information for the executed function from the list.

8. The information processing system according to claim 7 , wherein

the setting information includes the number of times the function is to be executed,

when the second processor executes the second information processing program, the second processor further

deleting, upon executing the function the number of times included in the setting information, the terminal that has generated the setting information from the list.
