Abstract: Provided are a usage state determination apparatus, a usage state determination method, and a program that prevent a determination from being made that a controller is in use due to vibration of a vibrator. A vibration control section causes a vibrator of the controller to vibrate. A detection result acceptance section accepts a detection result of a controller motion. A usage state determination section determines that the controller is in use on the basis of the detection result of the controller motion. When the vibrator vibrates, the usage state determination section places a restriction on the making of a determination that the controller is in use on the basis of the detection result of the controller motion.
