1. An information processing system comprising:
- an obtaining unit configured to obtain information indicating a state of the use of each of a plurality of electrical apparatuses;
a specifying unit configured to specify a power supply-and-receive relationship between the plurality of electrical apparatuses, on the basis of a change in power associated with the obtained information concerning each of the plurality of electrical apparatuses; and
an output unit configured to output information indicating the power supply-and-receive relationship,wherein the specifying unit is further configured to determine, concerning a combination of electrical apparatuses having a power supply-and-receive relationship, an electrical apparatus having a larger level of power associated with the obtained information to be an electrical apparatus which supplies power, and determines an electrical apparatus having a smaller level of power associated with the obtained information to be an electrical apparatus which receives power, andwherein;
the obtaining unit is configured to obtain information indicating power consumed in each of the plurality of electrical apparatuses; and
the specifying unit is configured to specify a power supply-and-receive relationship between the plurality of electrical apparatuses, on the basis of power consumption indicated in the obtained information concerning each of the plurality of electrical apparatuses.
