An information processing apparatus includes: a processor configured to acquire position information of a communication device; and a storage configured to store first map information and second map information. The processor is further configured to, in a case in which the processor acquires position information a predetermined number of times of at least two or more, in a first partial area of plurality of first partial areas, determine that the communication device exists in the first partial area. The processor is further configured to, in a case in which the processor acquires position information a predetermined number of times of at least two or more, in a second partial area of plurality of second partial areas, determine that the communication device exists in the second partial area.

A timepiece is presented that is adapted for recording the times of important events throughout the day. The timepiece comprises a primary display for viewing the current time of day and a secondary display for sequentially viewing one of a plurality times logged throughout the day corresponding with the important event. Interactive buttons on the timepiece facilitate the viewing and logging of the times displayed on the secondary display. A first button is a push button mechanism that records a time within the memory of the timepiece. A second button facilitates the scrolling of times on the secondary display for viewing by an individual. The timepiece can be utilized for recording the times of meaningful events throughout the day. For instance, the present invention may be utilized for recording how often a loved one is thought of or for when medication was last taken.

One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for determining a time-length of an action are provided. For example, a first data packet, of a plurality of data packets, may be received from a beacon. The first data packet may be associated with a first event and may comprise a first counter value. A second data packet, of the plurality of data packets, may be received from the beacon. The second data packet may be associated with a second event and may comprise a second counter value. A time-length of an action may be determined based upon an evaluation of the first counter value and the second counter value. Compliance with a protocol may be determined by comparing the time-length of the action with a time-limit associated with the protocol. A report may be generated based upon the time-length of the action and the compliance with the protocol.

The present invention relates to a transponder (12) for determining a passing time upon passing an RFID loop antenna (18), comprising: three inductive coils (26) for measuring three field strength values of an activation signal transmitted by the RFID loop antenna upon passing the RFID loop antenna; a processing unit (28) for determining an effective value of the three field strength values indicating an inductive field strength based on the three field strength values; an accumulation unit (30) for collecting effective values for multiple activation signals over time and determining a time series of effective values; and a symmetry unit (32) for determining a transponder passing time corresponding to a point in time (P) within the time series at which effective values before and after the point in time have a maximum level of symmetry. The present invention further relates to a method and a system (14) for determining a passing time of a transponder (12).
