When an application of an apparatus is remotely activated based on an instruction by a first user, whether a current position of the apparatus is included in a blind area of a second user is determined based on an image acquired by a camera. When the current position of the apparatus is not in the blind area, a target point included in the blind area is set, a driving mechanism is controlled, the apparatus is moved to the target point, and a speaker is caused to output speech corresponding to the application.
