1. A first information processing apparatus, comprising:

  • a first light emission unit configured to emit light based on a light emission pattern, wherein the light emission pattern is identified based on a set of light emission parameters indicating characteristics of light emission;

    a control unit configured to;

    control the light emission pattern of the first light emission unit based on one of a first relationship between the first information processing apparatus and a group to which the first information processing apparatus and at least one second information processing apparatus belong, or a second relationship between the at least one second information processing apparatus and the first information processing apparatus belonging to the group, wherein the at least one second information processing apparatus includes a second light emission unit, andcontrol the light emission pattern of the first light emission unit based on an influence of an external object other than the group;

    a communication control unit configured to control wireless communication with the at least one second information processing apparatus;

    a sensor configured to detect a change in a physical quantity caused by a motion of a first user; and

    an excitement determination unit configured to determine a degree of excitement of the first user based on the detected change,wherein the external object is an imaging apparatus that captures a plurality of users of the first information processing apparatus and the at least one second information processing apparatus belonging to the group, andwherein, based on a determination that the degree of excitement determined by the excitement determination unit is at or above a threshold, the communication control unit is configured to transmit a request to the imaging apparatus to start an image capture such that the image capture by the imaging apparatus is started with a second user of the first information processing apparatus taken as an image capturing target.
