An information processing system is disclosed. A device conducts a predetermined process by sensing a neighboring radio signal state. An information processing apparatus is connected to the device. In the information processing apparatus, multiple sets of neighboring definition information in which a neighboring signal state is defined, is stored in a storage part. Neighboring definition information depending on a location indicated by location information is specified from among the multiple sets of neighboring definition information based on the location information received from the device. The specified neighboring definition information is sent to the device. In the device, the predetermined process using the neighboring information received from the information processing apparatus is conducted. Sensing information indicating a process result acquired by the predetermined process is generated.

An HMD includes a beacon reception unit that receives a beacon signal and a control unit that controls a reception period of the beacon reception unit and intermittently receives a beacon signal. The control unit selects the beacon signal based on a reception strength of the beacon signal received by the beacon reception unit and changes a reception period of the beacon signal reception unit in accordance with a transmission timing of the selected beacon signal.

Provided are systems and methods for reversing the conventional roles of central and peripheral devices in a BLE network. Doing so includes implementing an end node (EN) as the sole initiator of a connection between a particular EN and a particular access point (AP). Such implementation includes determining a location of the EN, in which that location is resolved by the EN and defined with respect to exchanges of Constant Tone Extensions (CTEs) between the EN and reference points (RPs).

To provide a management apparatus capable of capturing a position of a specific individual satisfying a predetermined condition. A management apparatus according to an embodiment of the present technology includes a control unit. The control unit extracts, on the basis of first information that is generated by a sensor device worn by an individual and is related to a living body of the individual, a specific individual satisfying a predetermined condition, and generates, on the basis of position information related to a position of the specific individual, search information for causing a mobile object to move to the position of the specific individual.

An automated method is provided for activating a NFC application in a mobile interface device. In this method, the device receives from a beacon a wireless beacon signal comprising at least one beacon identifier. The wireless beacon signal is processed by the mobile interface device to determine the at least one beacon identifier. The mobile interface device determines based on the at least one beacon identifier, whether to activate the NFC application. Responsive to a determination that the NFC application should be activated, the mobile interface device transitions the NFC application from a passive state to an active state. NFC communication is then established between the mobile interface device and at least one NFC transmitting device disposed within a beacon range volume defined by the beacon location and the beacon range.
