INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM CAPABLE OF AUTOMATICALLY CONFIGURING SETTINGS FOR FUNCTIONAL COOPERATION BETWEEN APPARATUSES, IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS, METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

摘要

An information processing system that automatically configures settings for functional cooperation between an information processing apparatus and an image pickup apparatus. The information processing system includes a network camera and an MFP configured to receive predetermined information from the camera. A CPU of the camera sends the predetermined information to the MFP when an approach of a user to the MFP is detected. The CPU sets a detection frame extracted from image data obtained by picking up an image of the MFP, to detect the user's approach thereto. Then, the CPU determines whether the detection frame has a size equal to or larger than a predetermined threshold. When the size of the detection frame is not equal to or larger than the predetermined threshold, the CPU detects whether or not the user has approached the MFP, using the detection frame.

主权项

1. An image pickup apparatus that notifies predetermined information to an information processing apparatus in a case where an approach of a user to the information processing apparatus is detected, comprising:
a detection frame-setting unit configured to set a detection frame extracted from picked-up image data obtained by picking up an image of the information processing apparatus, so as to detect the user's approach to the information processing apparatus; a determination unit configured to determine whether or not the detection frame set by said detection frame-setting unit has a size equal to or larger than a predetermined threshold value; and a detection unit configured to detect whether or not the user has approached the information processing apparatus, using the detection frame, in a case where it is determined by said determination unit that the size of the detection frame is not equal to or larger than the predetermined threshold value.
