Abstract

An information processing device includes an acquisition section that acquires a satellite image of a ground area captured by an artificial satellite, and a control section that controls onboard equipment installed at a vehicle appearing in the satellite image based on an analysis result of the satellite image that the acquisition section has acquired.

Claims (11)

1. An information processing device comprising:

a memory; and

a processor coupled to the memory, the processor being configured to:

acquire a satellite image of a ground area that is captured by an artificial satellite; and

control a camera installed on a vehicle appearing in the satellite image based on an analysis result of the satellite image,

wherein the processor is further configured to:

in a case in which a danger to the vehicle has been detected from the analysis result of the satellite image, start imaging by the camera installed on the vehicle, the danger to the vehicle being a presence of a suspicious individual or a dangerous substance, or occurrence of a hit-and-run or a break-in of the vehicle,

control an angle of view of the camera so that a position at which the danger to the vehicle has been detected is included in an imaging range of the camera,

output a predetermined warning sound from a speaker installed on the vehicle, and

provide the satellite image and a current position of the vehicle to a predetermined user.

2. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein, in a case in which the vehicle is in the course of parking in a parking lot, the processor is configured to cause a bird's-eye view image of the vehicle appearing in the satellite image to be displayed on a monitor installed on the vehicle.
