a correspondence data storage unit configured to store correspondence data between identification information of the moving object and program information regarding the remote control function provided in the moving object; and
a disablement instruction unit configured to instruct a moving object to disable the remote control function, wherein when the program information having the vulnerability is identified by using the acquired vulnerability information, the disablement instruction unit is configured to extract the identification information of the moving object having the identified program information using the stored correspondence data and instruct the moving object corresponding to the extracted identification information to disable the remote control function.
2 . The moving object management device according to claim 1 , further comprising an identification unit configured to identify the program information having the vulnerability using the acquired vulnerability information.
3 . The moving object management device according to claim 1 , wherein
the information acquisition unit configured to acquire the vulnerability information further by analyzing data containing at least one of text and image via Internet.
4 . The moving object management device according to claim 1 , further comprising a notification unit configured to notify the moving object to prompt performing at least one of disablement of the remote control function and an action to eliminate the vulnerability.
5 . The moving object management device according to claim 1 , further comprising a disablement implementation unit configured to perform a disablement process to disable the remote control function when, after the instruction to disable the remote control function is made, a predetermined implementation condition is satisfied.
6 . The moving object management device according to claim 5 , wherein
the implementation condition is that radio waves for remote control which have been detected by the moving object are no longer detected, the moving object comprising the disablement implementation unit and a moving object communication unit for receiving the radio waves for the remote control, and having received the instruction to disable the remote control function.
7 . The moving object management device according to claim 5 , wherein the implementation condition is that the moving object that has received the instruction to disable the remote control function has been stopped.
8 . The moving object management device according to claim 5 , wherein the implementation condition is that the remote control function is not used in the moving object.
9 . The moving object management device according to claim 6 , wherein the implementation condition is that a moving speed of the moving object that has received the instruction to disable the remote control function falls to or below a predetermined reference speed.
10 . The moving object management device according to claim 5 , wherein the implementation condition is that all passengers on board the moving object have gotten off the moving object.
11 . The moving object management device according to claim 1 , wherein the moving object is a vehicle that is capable of running by the remote control within a factory during a manufacturing process in the factory where the vehicle is manufactured.
12 . The moving object management device according to claim 1 , wherein the vulnerability information is at least one of information regarding security hole in the remote control function, information regarding hacking of the remote control function, information regarding defect in a program regarding the remote control function, information regarding computer virus that affects the remote control function, and information regarding distrust of the remote control function.
13 . A moving object management system that manages a plurality of moving objects, each moving object having a remote control function to move by remote control, the system comprising:
a disablement implementation unit that is provided in the moving object and configured to perform a disablement process to disable the remote control function;
an information acquisition unit configured to acquire vulnerability information regarding vulnerability of the remote control function;
a correspondence data storage unit configured to store correspondence data between identification information of the moving object and program information regarding the remote control function provided in the moving object; and
a disablement instruction unit configured to instruct the disablement implementation unit of the moving object to disable the remote control function,
wherein when the program information having the vulnerability is identified by using the acquired vulnerability information, the disablement instruction unit is configured to extract the identification information of the moving object having the identified program information using the stored correspondence data and instruct the disablement implementation unit of the moving object corresponding to the extracted identification information to disable the remote control function.
14 . A method of disabling remote control function for a plurality of moving objects, each moving object having a remote control function to move by remote control, the method comprising:
acquiring vulnerability information regarding vulnerability of the remote control function;
storing correspondence data between identification information of the moving object and program information regarding the remote control function provided in the moving object; and
when the program information having the vulnerability is identified by using the acquired vulnerability information, extracting the identification information of the moving object having the identified program information using the stored correspondence data and instructing the moving object corresponding to the extracted identification information to disable the remote control function.
