Abstract

An information processing system S includes a server device, and an information processing device communicable with the server device. The information processing device is configured to acquire a plurality of images imaged by an imaging device included in a vehicle, and output to the server device, when detecting a change from a non-rainfall state to a rainfall state, or a change from the rainfall state to the non-rainfall state based on the acquired images, location information regarding the vehicle when the change is detected.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An information processing system comprising:
a server device; and an information processing device communicable with the server device, wherein the information processing device is configured to
acquire a plurality of images imaged by an imaging device included in a vehicle, and
output to the server device, when detecting a change from a non-rainfall state to a rainfall state, or a change from the rainfall state to the non-rainfall state based on the acquired images, location information regarding the vehicle when the change is detected.

2 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the information processing device is configured to
detect one or more persons and rain gear used by the person or persons, in the images, and determine that the non-rainfall state changes to the rainfall state when a ratio of the number of rain gear users to the detected number of persons reaches a prescribed value.

3 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the server device is configured to
acquire the location information from the information processing devices, map locations corresponding to the location information on a map, and output the map after mapping.

4 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the server device is configured to
acquire the location information from the information processing devices, detect a past transition of an area having a rainfall, the area being specified based on the location information, and predict, based on the past transition, an area where the change occurs within a prescribed time in future.

5 . The information processing system according to claim 4 , wherein the server device is configured to notify occurrence of the change within a prescribed time in future to user terminals that are present in the area where the change is predicted to occur within the prescribed time in future.

6 . The information processing system according to claim 5 , wherein the server device is further configured to notify, to the user terminals that are present in the area where the change is predicted to occur within the prescribed time in future, information on facilities that are present in a prescribed distance from the user terminals.

7 . A method of information processing executed in an information processing system, including a server device, and an information processing device communicable with the server device, the method comprising the steps, executed by the information processing device, of:
acquiring a plurality of images imaged by an imaging device included in a vehicle; and outputting to the server device, when detecting a change from a non-rainfall state to a rainfall state, or a change from the rainfall state to the non-rainfall state based on the acquired images, location information regarding the vehicle when the change is detected.

8 . A program causing an information processing system, including a server device, and an information processing device communicable with the server device, to execute the steps of:
acquiring a plurality of images imaged by an imaging device included in a vehicle; and outputting to the server device, when detecting a change from a non-rainfall state to a rainfall state, or a change from the rainfall state to the non-rainfall state based on the acquired images, location information regarding the vehicle when the change is detected.
