Abstract

There is provided an apparatus including a control device including an acquisition section configured to acquire an action performed by a first user and a position at which the action is performed, and an activation control section configured to control, based on a history regarding an activation state of a function in a case where the action has been previously performed at the position, the activation state of the function while the first user is performing the action at the position.

Claims

1. A control device comprising:

an acquisition section configured to acquire an action performed by a first user and a position at which the action is performed; and

an activation control section configured to control, based on a history regarding an activation state of a function in a case where the action has been previously performed at the position, the activation state of the function while the first user is performing the action at the position.

2. The control device according to claim 1,

wherein the activation control section determines whether to activate the function, based on the history regarding the activation state of the function in a case where the action has been previously performed at the position.

3. The control device according to claim 1,

wherein the acquisition section acquires, as the action performed by the first user, an action registered in schedule information.

4. The control device according to claim 1,

wherein the acquisition section acquires, as the position at which the action is performed, a position registered in schedule information.

5. The control device according to claim 1,

wherein the function includes at least one of a function of detection performed by a sensor, a function of communication performed by a communication interface, and a function provided by a program.

6. The control device according to claim 1,

wherein the history includes a history in a case where the action has been previously performed at the position by a second user other than the first user.

7. A control method comprising:

acquiring an action performed by a first user and a position at which the action is performed; and

controlling, based on a history regarding an activation state of a function in a case where the action has been previously performed at the position, the activation state of the function while the first user is performing the action at the position.

8. A program for causing a computer to function as a control device, the control device including

an acquisition section configured to acquire an action performed by a first user and a position at which the action is performed, and

an activation control section configured to control, based on a history regarding an activation state of a function in a case where the action has been previously performed at the position, the activation state of the function while the first user is performing the action at the position.

9. A computer-readable recording medium having a program recorded thereon, the program causing a computer to function as a control device that includes

an acquisition section configured to acquire an action performed by a first user and a position at which the action is performed, and

an activation control section configured to control, based on a history regarding an activation state of a function in a case where the action has been previously performed at the position, the activation state of the function while the first user is performing the action at the position.
