1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a positional relationship information acquirer that acquires information indicating a position relationship between a first user and a second user;
a nearness determiner that determines whether or not the first user and the second user are near each other, on the basis of the information indicating the position relationship; and
a contact manager that estimates, as a duration of time, a time period when the first user and the second user are near each other, and that sorts, on the basis of a result of the determination and on the basis of a result of the estimation, a contact list which is provided to the first user and which includes contact information for the second user,wherein the sorted contact list is modified to exclude the contact information for the second user from the contact list, or to reduce a placement priority position of the contact information for the second user within the contact list, when the first user and the second user are determined to be together at a same location.

19. An information processing method executed by at least one processor, the method comprising:
-
acquiring information indicating a position relationship between a first user and a second user; determining whether or not the first user and the second user are near each other, on the basis of the information indicating the position relationship; estimating, as a duration of time, a time period when the first user and the second user are near each other; and sorting, on the basis of a result of the determination and on the basis of a result of the estimation, a contact list which is provided to the first user and which includes contact information for the second user, wherein the sorted contact list is modified to exclude the contact information for the second user from the contact list, or to reduce a placement priority position of the contact information for the second user within the contact list, when the first user and the second user are determined to be together at a same location.
