The apparatus evaluates a state of a subject, determines, based on a result of the evaluation, whether to cause the image capturing apparatus to perform shooting, obtains demand information that indicates demand tendencies of a user respectively for state types of the subject, and controls an operation of the determination based on the demand information. The apparatus controls the operation of the determination so that a frequency at which the image capturing apparatus performs shooting varies in accordance with magnitudes of demands for the respective state types of the subject.
