Abstract

To provide an information processing apparatus that can appropriately control the operation of a device that performs processing with a large load, of a plurality of devices constituting a system.SOLUTION: An information processing apparatus has a function to communicate with an external device comprising image recognition means that recognizes an image, and comprises image acquisition means, transmission means, detection means, and stopping means. The image acquisition means acquires a picked-up image picked up by an imaging unit. The transmission means transmits, to the external device, the picked-up image acquired by the image acquisition means. The detection means detects that the information processing apparatus is not used by a user. When the detection means detects that the information processing apparatus is not used by the user, the stopping means stops recognition of an image performed by the image recognition means of the external device.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 10
