Claim:
1. An information processing apparatus comprising: circuitry configured to wherein the circuitry is further configured to periodically obtain the position information of the first user and the second user in order to periodically determine whether or not the first user and the second user are separated by less than the first threshold distance from each other and by greater than or equal to the second threshold distance from each other, and wherein the circuitry is further configured to modify the display information of the first user by sorting a contact list, which includes the user information of the second user, in a manner that the second user is raised to a higher place on the contact list in a case where the first user and the second user have been within the first and second threshold distances from each other for a longer time on the basis of the periodic determination, as compared to a case where the first user and the second user have been within the first and second threshold distances from each other for a shorter time on the basis of the periodic determination.
