Abstract

An information processing device includes a selection unit configured to select a second image related to a first image from images captured by a second camera based on a position where the first image is captured by a first camera, and a control unit configured to reproduce the first image and the second image based on respective capturing times thereof.

Claims (32)

1. An information processing device comprising:

selection circuitry configured to:

select a first image generated by a movable camera that is an in-vehicle camera or a wearable camera, the first image being associated with position information of the movable camera and time information of the movable camera, the position information of the movable camera indicating a position where the movable camera captured the first image, the time information of the movable camera indicating a time when the movable camera captured the first image, and

select a second image generated by a fixed camera that is affixed to a stationary object, the second image being selected based on the position information of the movable camera and the time information of the movable camera; and

display circuitry configured to reproduce the first image and the second image on a display.

2. The information processing device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the second image is selected in a case where the fixed camera is located at a distance within a threshold from the position where the movable camera captured the first image.

3. The information processing device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the second image is selected in a case where the fixed camera is located at a distance within a threshold from each of a plurality of positions located on a movement trajectory of the movable camera.

4. The information processing device according to claim 3 ,

wherein the first image is recorded in a memory in a first system, and the second image is recorded in a memory in a second system different from the first system, and

the second image is copied from the memory in the second system to the memory in the first system.

5. The information processing device according to claim 4 ,

wherein the first system is a system in which deletion of an image recorded in the memory in the first system is restricted.

6. The information processing device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the selection circuitry is configured to select a third image generated by another movable camera that is an in-vehicle camera or a wearable camera, the another movable being at a position within a threshold from an installation position of the fixed camera.

7. The information processing device according to claim 6 ,

wherein the first and third images are recorded in a memory in a first system, and the second image is recorded in a memory in a second system different from the first system, and

the second image is copied from the memory in the second system to the memory in the first system.

8. The information processing device according to claim 7 ,

wherein the first system is a system in which deletion of an image recorded in the memory in the first system is restricted.

9. A reproduction control method of an information processing device, the reproduction control method including:

selecting a first image generated by a movable camera that is an in-vehicle camera or a wearable camera, the first image being associated with position information of the movable camera and time information of the movable camera, the position information of the movable camera indicating a position where the movable camera captured the first image, the time information of the movable camera indicating a time when the movable camera captured the first image;

selecting a second image generated by a fixed camera that is affixed to a stationary object, the second image being selected based on the position information of the movable camera and the time information of the movable camera; and

reproducing the first image and the second image on a display.

10. The information processing device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the display circuitry is configured to generate a display screen on the display, and

the display screen includes a moving camera data display region including the first image, a moving camera data operation region including inputs for operations related to the movable camera, and a fixed camera data search input configured to initiate the selection of the second image.

11. The information processing device according to claim 10 ,

wherein the display screen include a fixed camera data search result display region including the second image.

12. The information processing device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first image and the second image are reproduced on the display concurrently.
