There are provided a monitoring apparatus, a wireless communication system, a failure factor deciding method and a program which enable a user to take an appropriate countermeasure for a failure factor which has occurred in a wireless communication apparatus which employs space diversity. The monitoring apparatus (1) includes an obtaining unit (12) and a deciding unit (14). The obtaining unit (12) obtains a history related to a received signal level of a first receiver (22) and a received signal level of a second receiver (24) in a predetermined period from a wireless communication apparatus (20) including the first receiver (22) and the second receiver (24). The deciding unit (14) decides a factor of a failure that has occurred in the wireless communication apparatus (20) based on the history.

An information processing apparatus is provided for communicating with another information processing apparatus in a different site by using at least one of a plurality of communication platforms. The information processing apparatus includes: a receiving unit configured to receive a transmission image that has been transmitted from the another information processing apparatus in the different site; a displaying unit configured to display on a display device the transmission image that has been received by the receiving unit; and a reading unit configured to read an image to be displayed from an image storing unit configured to store the image to be displayed. For at least a certain period while the one of the communication platform is being switched to another one, the displaying unit displays, in place of the transmission image, the image to be displayed that has been read by the reading unit.

An electronic device that assesses communication performance is described. During operation, the electronic device receives information specifying a location in an environment. For example, the information may correspond to user-interface activity associated with a user interface. Notably, the user interface may include an augmented reality and the user-interface activity may include defining the location, such as by dropping a pin in the augmented reality. Then, the electronic device provides the information to an access point and/or a controller of the access point, where the location is within communication range of the access point. Next, the electronic device receives, from the access point and/or the controller, measurements of one or more communication performance metrics at or proximate to the location during a time interval. Moreover, the electronic device provides a graphical representation of the communication performance at or proximate to the location based at least in part on the measurements.
