Claim:
1. An image pickup apparatus configured to notify predetermined information to an information processing apparatus in a case where an approach of a user to the information processing apparatus is detected, comprising: a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer-executable program; and a computer communicatively connected to the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium and configured by the computer-executable program at least to: set a detection frame extracted from picked-up image data obtained by picking up an image of the information processing apparatus, so as to detect the user's approach to the information processing apparatus; determine whether or not the set detection frame has a size at least larger than a predetermined threshold value; enable a function of detecting whether or not the user has approached the information processing apparatus, using the detection frame, in a case where it is determined that the size of the detection frame at least is not larger than the predetermined threshold value; and disable the function of detecting whether or not the user has approached the information processing apparatus, using the detection frame, in a case where it is determined that the size of the detection frame at least is larger than the predetermined threshold value.
