Abstract

An information processing device includes circuitry to set one or more images transmitted from an image capturing device and stored, in a memory, as ones to be deleted from the memory in a case that a condition is satisfied, transmit, to a communication terminal, input screen information related to an input screen for inputting information for setting one of the one or more images as one to be excluded from the images to be deleted, and set the one of the one or more images as the one to be excluded from the images to be deleted according to an operation received via the input screen displayed on the communication terminal based on the input screen information.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An information processing device, comprising circuitry configured to:
set one or more images transmitted from an image capturing device and stored in a memory, as ones to be deleted from the memory in a case that a condition is satisfied;
transmit, to a communication terminal, input screen information related to an input screen for inputting information for setting one of the one or more images as one to be excluded from the images to be deleted; and
set the one of the one or more images as the one to be excluded from the images to be deleted according to an operation received via the input screen displayed on the communication terminal based on the input screen information, wherein the circuity is further configured to set the one of the one or more images as the one to be excluded from the images to be deleted, such that a total amount of a first amount and a second amount is within a predetermined amount range, the first amount being corresponding to images that are manually captured and stored in the memory, the second amount being corresponding to images to be excluded from the images to be deleted.

2. The information processing device of claim 1 , wherein
the case that the condition is satisfied includes that a predetermined period has elapsed from a time at which each of the one or more images stored in the memory is captured.

3. The information processing device of claim 1 , wherein
each of the one or more images set as the ones to be deleted is automatically captured by the image capturing device.

4. The information processing device of claim 3 , wherein
each of the one or more images set as the ones to be deleted is other than an image that is manually captured by the image capturing device.

5. The information processing device of claim 3 , wherein
each of the one or more images set as the ones to be deleted is other than another image that is manually captured by another image capturing device, transmitted from the another image capturing device, and stored in the memory.

6. The information processing device of claim 1 , wherein
the circuitry transmits, to the communication terminal, a moving image that is automatically captured by the image capturing device.

7. The information processing device of claim 6 , wherein the circuitry suspends transmitting the input screen information to the communication terminal while transmitting the moving image.

8. The information processing device of claim 1 , wherein,
in a case that the total amount reaches an upper limit of the predetermined amount range,
the circuitry transmits, to the communication terminal, notification information indicating at least one of that storing the image manually captured is to be failed or that setting the one of the one or more images as the one to be excluded from the images to be deleted is to be failed.

9. The information processing device of claim 1 , wherein
in a case that the total amount reaches an upper limit of the predetermined amount range,
the circuitry transmits, to the communication terminal, information to increase the upper limit of the predetermined amount range.

10. The information processing device of claim 1 , wherein
the circuitry
sets the one or more images stored in the memory as the ones to be deleted, in association with account information transmitted from the image capturing device, and
transmits, to the communication terminal, the input screen information including the account information.

11. The information processing device of claim 10 , wherein,
in a case that the account information transmitted from the image capturing device matches one registered in advance, the circuitry sets the one or more images stored in the memory as the ones to be deleted, in association with the account information.

12. The information processing device of claim 11 , wherein,
in a case that a combination of the account information and identification information identifying the image capturing device that are transmitted from the image capturing device matches one registered in advance, the circuitry sets the one or more images stored in the memory as the ones to be deleted, in association with the account information.

13. An information processing method, comprising:
setting one or more images transmitted from an image capturing device and stored in a memory as ones to be deleted from the memory in a case that a condition is satisfied;

transmitting, to a communication terminal, input screen information related to an input screen for inputting information for setting one of the one or more images as one to be excluded from the images to be deleted;
setting the one of the one or more images as the one to be excluded from the images to be deleted according to an operation received via the input screen displayed on the communication terminal based on the input screen information; and
setting the one of the one or more images as the one to be excluded from the images to be deleted, such that a total amount of a first amount and a second amount is within a predetermined amount range, the first amount being corresponding to images that are manually captured and stored in the memory, the second amount being corresponding to images to be excluded from the images to be deleted.

14. A non-transitory recording medium storing a plurality of instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, causes the processors to perform a method, the method comprising:
setting one or more images transmitted from an image capturing device and stored in a memory as ones to be deleted from the memory in a case that a condition is satisfied;
transmitting, to a communication terminal, input screen information related to an input screen for inputting information for setting one of the one or more images as one to be excluded from the images to be deleted;
setting the one of the one or more images as the one to be excluded from the images to be deleted according to an operation received via the input screen displayed on the communication terminal based on the input screen information; and
setting the one of the one or more images as the one to be excluded from the images to be deleted, such that a total amount of a first amount and a second amount is within a predetermined amount range, the first amount being corresponding to images that are manually captured and stored in the memory, the second amount being corresponding to images to be excluded from the images to be deleted.
