  • Patent number: 10984661
    Abstract: An information processing device is provided, for example, in a vehicle. A control unit of the information processing device executes flight control of an unmanned flying object such that the unmanned flying object moves to a destination and acquires a captured image from the unmanned flying object. The control unit performs adjustment of an arrival time at the destination, for example, depending on a congestion situation or movement guidance of the vehicle to an empty space at the destination on the basis of the captured image of the destination or a surrounding area of the destination. Further, retrieval of a movement route in the destination is performed on the basis of the captured image obtained by causing the unmanned flying object to move inside the destination and imaging the inside of the destination, and the detected movement route is set in a moving object which is used for movement in the destination.
