1. An information providing method that uses a first information processing apparatus which includes a processor and memory,
wherein a sensor and a first electronic device that outputs at least one of sound or video are disposed in a space, and
the processor:
obtains device activity information of the first electronic device;
obtains, via the sensor, activity information of a user;
when (xvi) the device activity information indicates that the first electronic device is active and (xvii) the activity information indicates that the user is moving from the space to another space, generates first information indicating that the user is moving from the space to the another space while the first electronic device is active;
obtains, from a second information processing apparatus connected to the first information processing apparatus, information indicating first request content over a network; and
when content of the first information is included in the first request content, outputs, to the second information processing apparatus, second information including information for identifying the user or the space, using the first information generated.
