Abstract

Unnecessary notification is reduced. Occurrence of an impact in an information processing device is detected, a cause of the impact is determined, and when it is determined that the cause of the impact is a drop of the information processing device, notification regarding the impact is not performed.

Claims (25)

1 . An information processing device attached to a moving body, the information processing device comprising:

an impact detection unit that detects occurrence of an impact in the information processing device;

an impact cause determination unit that determines a cause of the impact;

a drop detection unit that detects occurrence of a drop of the information processing device; and

a notification processing unit that issues a notification to outside of the moving body,

wherein the impact cause determination unit is configured to determine that the cause of the impact is an accident of the moving body when occurrence of the drop of the information processing device is not detected immediately before occurrence of the impact,

the notification processing unit issues the notification regarding the impact when the impact cause determination unit determines that the cause of the impact is an accident of the moving body, and

the notification processing unit issues no notification regarding the impact when the drop detection unit detects that the cause of the impact is the drop of the information processing device.

2 . The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the impact cause determination unit determines that the cause of the impact is the drop of the information processing device when occurrence of the drop of the information processing device is detected immediately before the occurrence of the impact.

3 . An information processing device attached to a moving body, the information processing device comprising:

an impact detection unit that detects occurrence of an impact in the information processing device;

an impact cause determination unit that determines a cause of the impact;

a drop detection unit that detects occurrence of a drop of the information processing device; and

a notification processing unit that issues a notification to outside of the moving body, and

a response information acquisition processing unit that acquires information regarding a response to the confirmation, wherein

when the response includes a predetermined response, the notification processing unit performs notification in response to the response.

4 . An information processing method executed by an information processing device attached to a moving body, the information processing method comprising:

an impact detection step of detecting occurrence of an impact in the information processing device;

an impact cause determination step of determining a cause of the impact;

a drop detection step of detecting a drop of the information processing device; and

a notification processing step of issuing a notification to outside of the moving body, wherein

the impact cause determination step includes determining that the cause of the impact is an accident of the moving body when occurrence of the drop of the information processing device is not detected immediately before occurrence of the impact,

the notification processing step includes issuing the notification regarding the impact when the impact cause determination step determines that the cause of the impact is an accident of the moving body, and

the notification processing step issues no notification regarding the impact when the drop detection step detects that the cause of the impact is the drop of the information processing device.

5 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program that causes a computer to execute the information processing method according to claim 4 .
