<Details of components of information processing device 1>

Various types of information are stored in the storage unit 11. The various types of information are, for example, terminal information (described later), route information (described later), videos corresponding to one or more pieces of location information, one or more attribute values corresponding to the location information, one or more video attribute values corresponding to the videos, and map information. Note that the video attribute value may be considered to be an example of an attribute value.

Video attribute values are the attribute values of a video. Video attribute values are, for example, environmental information. Environmental information is information about the environment in which a video was shot. Environmental information is, for example, location information, time information, weather information, temperature information, season information, road attribute values, and location attribute values, which will be described later. Time information is information that specifies the time when a video was shot. The time when a video was shot may be around the time when the video was shot, and accuracy is not required. Time information is, for example, the time, year/month/date/time, year/month/date/time/minute, year/month/date/time/minute/second, year/month/date, and month/day. In other words, the granularity of the time indicated by the time information does not matter. Weather information is information that specifies the weather at the location (or region) where the video was shot. Weather information is, for example, "sunny," "rain," "snow," or "cloudy." Temperature information is information that specifies the temperature at the location where the video was shot. Temperature information is, for example, "25 degrees" or "above 30 degrees." Seasonal information is information that specifies the season at the location where the video was shot. Seasonal information is, for example, "spring," "summer," "early summer," or "winter." Road attribute values are attribute values of the road on which the mobile terminal 2 has traveled. Road attribute values are, for example, information indicating the type of road (e.g., "national road," "prefectural road"), the width of the road (e.g., "6 m," "10 m"), the number of lanes, the presence or absence of sidewalks, and whether or not the road will get wet in the rain.

The road traveled by the mobile terminal 2 can also be said to be, for example, the road where the photograph was taken or the road where the photographer traveled. The point attribute value is the attribute value of a point on the route traveled by the mobile terminal 2. The point attribute value is, for example, the type of point (e.g., "temple" or "shrine"), the type of building at the point, a station, a bus stop, the name of a scenic spot, information indicating that the view is good, or information indicating that it is a tourist spot.

Map information is used, for example, to obtain point information corresponding to location information and road attribute values corresponding to location information. One or more point attribute values may be associated with the point information contained in the map information. The map information is, for example, in the KIWI format, but the data structure is not important.

Location information is information that specifies a location. For example, location information is (latitude, longitude) or (movement, longitude, altitude). Note that location information associated with a video is information that specifies the location where the video was shot, or information that specifies the location of the mobile terminal 2. Note that the information that specifies the location where the video was shot and the information that specifies the location of the mobile terminal 2 may be considered to be the same information.

Point information is information that identifies a point. For example, point information is the name of the point or the ID of the point, but it can also be location information.

The terminal management unit 111 stores one or more pieces of terminal information. The terminal information is information related to the mobile terminal 2. The terminal information here typically includes a terminal identifier that is an identifier of the mobile terminal 2, terminal communication information, and one or more terminal attribute values. The mobile terminal 2 here is typically a terminal that can transmit video. The terminal information is associated with the mobile terminal 2.

The terminal identifier is information that identifies the mobile terminal 2. The terminal identifier may be a rights holder identifier that identifies the rights holder who is the user of the mobile terminal 2. The terminal identifier is, for example, the ID of the mobile terminal 2, the user identifier of the user of the mobile terminal 2, the name of the mobile terminal 2, the IP address of the mobile terminal 2, or the MAC address of the mobile terminal 2.

A rights holder is someone who has some rights regarding the video captured by the mobile terminal 2. A rights holder is, for example, the owner of the video, the copyright holder of the video, the owner of the mobile terminal 2 that captured the video, or the person with the right to dispose of the video. A rights holder is, for example, the initial rights holder of the video. A rights holder is, for example, the owner of the mobile terminal 2, but it can be anyone who has rights to the video captured by the mobile terminal 2.

The rights holder identifier may be a terminal identifier. The rights holder identifier is, for example, the rights holder's ID, the rights holder's name, the rights holder's email address, or the rights holder's phone number. The rights holder's ID is, for example, a user identifier.

The terminal communication information is information for communicating with the mobile terminal 2. The terminal communication information is, for example, the IP address of the mobile terminal 2, the MAC address of the mobile terminal 2, and the ID of the communication app installed on the mobile terminal 2.

The terminal attribute value is an attribute value of the mobile terminal 2. The terminal attribute value is, for example, movement information and a camera attribute value. The movement information is information indicating whether the mobile terminal 2 is in a state where it can transmit video (usually, whether it is moving or not). The camera attribute value is information regarding the camera that captures video. The camera attribute value is, for example, the angle of view and the resolution.

The reception unit 12 receives various types of information and instructions. The various types of information and instructions are, for example, videos, inquiries described below, location information of the mobile terminal 2, location information of the user terminal 3, a set of attribute values, and purchase instructions.

Here, reception usually refers to the reception of information transmitted via a wired or wireless communication line. However, reception may also be a concept that includes the reception of information input from an input device such as a keyboard, mouse, or touch panel, or the reception of information read from a recording medium such as an optical disk, magnetic disk, or semiconductor memory.

The reception unit 12, for example, receives location information of the mobile terminal 2, pairs it with the terminal identifier of the mobile terminal 2, and stores the location information. The location information is usually stored in the storage unit 11, but may be stored in another device.

The reception unit 12 receives, for example, an attribute value set that includes the location information of the mobile terminal 2, and stores the attribute value set in a pair with the terminal identifier of the mobile terminal 2. The attribute value set is usually stored in the storage unit 11, but may be stored in another device.

A purchase instruction is an instruction to purchase a video. The purchase instruction is associated with a user identifier. The purchase instruction typically includes information that identifies the video. The purchase instruction has, for example, a video identifier. The purchase instruction includes, for example, an inquiry. The purchase instruction includes, for example, the conditions of the purchase. The conditions of the purchase are, for example, the purchase amount. The conditions of the purchase include, for example, information that identifies the rights period.

The terminal identifier is information that identifies the mobile terminal 2. The terminal identifier may be a rights holder identifier that identifies the rights holder who is the user of the mobile terminal 2. The terminal identifier is, for example, the ID of the mobile terminal 2, the user identifier of the user of the mobile terminal 2, the name of the mobile terminal 2, the IP address of the mobile terminal 2, or the MAC address of the mobile terminal 2.

The video receiving unit 121 receives videos from one or more mobile terminals 2. The video receiving unit 121 typically receives videos associated with a rights holder identifier from the mobile terminal 2. It is preferable that the videos received from the mobile terminal 2 are associated with one or more attribute values. Videos associated with one or more attribute values are appropriately referred to as additional videos. When simply referring to a video, it may be either additional video or just video.

The video receiving unit 121 may store the received video by associating it with one or more attribute values. For example, the video receiving unit 121 stores the video in the storage unit 11, but the storage destination is not important.

The inquiry reception unit 122 receives an inquiry. For example, the inquiry reception unit 122 receives an inquiry from the user terminal 3. The inquiry is associated with, for example, a user identifier and location information of the user terminal 3.

An inquiry usually has location information. The location information that an inquiry has is, for example, a destination. An inquiry may have a starting point and a destination. An inquiry may also have selection conditions. The starting point is, for example, the current location of the user terminal 3. The starting point is, for example, location information input by the user.

A selection condition is a condition for selecting a route. A selection condition is, for example, a condition related to one or more road attribute values, or a condition related to one or more point attribute values. A selection condition is, for example, "corresponding to an attribute value indicating that the road will not get wet in the rain" or "the road width is 10 m or more." A selection condition may, for example, have a transportation means identifier. When a selection condition has a transportation means identifier, a route that is possible or suitable for travel by the transportation means identified by the transportation means identifier (for example, "walking") is selected based on the selection condition.

The transportation means identifier is information that identifies a transportation means. The transportation means is the transportation means of the user who uses the user terminal 3. The transportation means is, for example, "walking," "car," or "bicycle."

The processing unit 13 performs various types of processing. The various types of processing are, for example, processing performed by the video storage unit 131, the user position acquisition unit 132, the route acquisition unit 133, the video acquisition unit 134, the additional acquisition unit 135, and the rights holder processing unit 136.

The processing unit 13, for example, detects the start of movement of the mobile terminal 2 and acquires movement information indicating that movement has started (that video can be transmitted).

The processing unit 13, for example, detects the end of the movement of the mobile terminal 2 and acquires movement information indicating that the movement has ended (that video cannot be transmitted).

The processing unit 13, for example, stores the set of attribute values received by the reception unit 12 from the mobile terminal 2 in the storage unit 11 in association with the terminal identifier of the mobile terminal 2.

The video accumulation unit 131 accumulates the videos received by the video receiving unit 121 from the mobile terminal 2. The video accumulation unit 131 accumulates the videos received by the video receiving unit 121 from the mobile terminal 2, for example, by associating them with a rights holder identifier associated with the video. The video accumulation unit 131 accumulates the videos received by the video receiving unit 121 from the mobile terminal 2, for example, by associating them with an attribute value set associated with the video. The video accumulation unit 131 accumulates the videos in the storage unit 11, for example, but may accumulate the videos in another device.

The user position acquisition unit 132 acquires the current position of the user terminal 3. The user position acquisition unit 132 receives the current position from the user terminal 3. The user position acquisition unit 132 receives, for example, the current position corresponding to a received inquiry. Note that the current position is information that identifies the position of the user terminal 3. The current position is usually position information having (latitude, longitude) or (latitude, longitude, altitude), but may also be current point information.

The route acquisition unit 133 acquires route information from the current location acquired by the user location acquisition unit 132 to the location specified by the location information in the query. The route acquisition unit 133 usually acquires route information between the current location and the location specified by the location information by using the map information in the storage unit 11. This process is a known route search process.

The route acquisition unit 133 acquires the travel time from the current location acquired by the user location acquisition unit 132 to the location specified by the location information contained in the query.

The route acquisition unit 133 preferably acquires route information from the current position acquired by the user position acquisition unit 132 to a point specified by the point information held by the query, where one or more attribute values corresponding to the route information match the selection conditions. The attribute values corresponding to the route information are attribute values that the map information used to perform the route search has for the route. The attribute values corresponding to the route information may be attribute values corresponding to any of the position information of the points held by the route information. Such attribute values are, for example, road attribute values of the roads that make up the route, and point attribute values of one or more points on the route. The road attribute values are, for example, information indicating whether the route is a route that gets wet in the rain, information indicating the width of the roads that make up the route, and information indicating the type of roads that make up the route.

The video acquisition unit 134 acquires videos transmitted from the mobile terminal 2 and related to the location specified by the location information.

The video acquisition unit 134 acquires video transmitted from each of the multiple mobile terminals 2, and it is preferable to acquire video relating to each of the multiple points on the route specified by the route information.

The video acquisition unit 134 acquires the video, for example, by any one of the following methods (1) to (3).
(1) Selecting from videos that are constantly being received

The video acquisition unit 134 acquires videos that match the query from among the videos received and stored by the video receiving unit 121. The stored videos are referred to as past videos, where appropriate.

In more detail, the video acquisition unit 134 acquires, for example, from one or more past videos, a video that corresponds to the location information specified by the location information contained in the inquiry.

Moreover, the video acquisition unit 134 acquires, for example, from past videos, a video that corresponds to the location information specified by the location information in the inquiry and corresponds to an attribute value that matches the selection condition in the inquiry. Note that the length and range of the video acquired by the video acquisition unit 134 do not matter. Moreover, for example, a right holder identifier and an attribute value set are associated with such a video.
(2) A method for determining the mobile terminal 2 from the location information of the mobile terminal 2 that is constantly received

The video acquisition unit 134, for example, determines location information corresponding to the location information contained in the inquiry from the location information of the mobile terminal 2 received by the reception unit 12. Next, the video acquisition unit 134, for example, transmits an instruction to send a video to the mobile terminal 2 corresponding to the location information. Next, the video acquisition unit 134, for example, receives a video from the mobile terminal 2.

The video acquisition unit 134 also determines, for example, from the location information of the mobile terminal 2 received by the reception unit 12, location information that corresponds to the point information contained in the inquiry and corresponds to an attribute value that matches the selection condition contained in the inquiry. Next, the video acquisition unit 134 transmits, for example, a video transmission instruction to the mobile terminal 2 that corresponds to the location information. Next, the video acquisition unit 134 receives, for example, a video from the mobile terminal 2.

For example, the video acquisition unit 134 refers to the map information in the storage unit 11, acquires one or more attribute values (e.g., road attribute values or point attribute values) corresponding to the location information of each of the one or more mobile terminals 2 received by the reception unit 12, and determines whether the one or more attribute values match the selection condition included in the query. Then, the video acquisition unit 134 determines the mobile terminal 2 corresponding to the location information corresponding to the one or more attribute values matching the selection condition. Next, the video acquisition unit 134 transmits a video transmission instruction to the mobile terminal 2, for example. Next, the video acquisition unit 134 receives the video from the mobile terminal 2, for example. For example, the video is associated with a right holder identifier and an attribute value set.
(3) A method of inquiring the mobile terminal 2 to transmit a desired video

The video acquisition unit 134 sends a query to, for example, one or more mobile terminals 2 that correspond to the movement information "moving (capable of transmitting video)" from among one or more mobile terminals 2 registered in the terminal management unit 111. The query has the same content as the query received by the query reception unit 122. Next, the video acquisition unit 134 receives a video from, for example, a mobile terminal 2 that is determined to be capable of transmitting a video that matches the query. For example, a rights holder identifier and an attribute value set are associated with such a video.

The additional acquisition unit 135 acquires additional information related to the location specified by the location information contained in the inquiry. For example, the additional acquisition unit 135 acquires one or more types of additional information, including additional information including weather information for the location specified by the location information contained in the inquiry, or additional information including SNS information for the location specified by the location information contained in the inquiry.

The additional acquisition unit 135 acquires weather information, for example, from a weather server (not shown). For example, the additional acquisition unit 135 sends an inquiry having point information or position information to the weather server, and receives current weather information for the point corresponding to the inquiry. For example, the additional acquisition unit 135 sends an inquiry having point information or position information and time information to the weather server, and receives weather information for the point and time corresponding to the inquiry. Such a time is, for example, the expected arrival time at the point.

The additional acquisition unit 135 acquires, for example, one or more pieces of SNS information from one or more SNS servers (not shown). The SNS information is usually information posted by one or more users. The SNS server may be a TWITTER (registered trademark) server, a FACEBOOK (registered trademark) server, an Instagram (registered trademark) server, or the like.

The additional acquisition unit 135, for example, sends an inquiry having point information or location information to one or more SNS servers, and receives one or more pieces of SNS information for the point corresponding to the inquiry from each of the one or more SNS servers. Note that the technology for acquiring SNS information for a specific point is a publicly known technology.

The additional acquisition unit 135 acquires, for example, weather information after a travel time has elapsed. The additional acquisition unit 135 acquires, for example, weather information for a location specified by location information, and weather information after a travel time has elapsed. After a travel time has elapsed means after the travel time has elapsed from the current location to the location specified by the location information in the query.

The additional acquisition unit 135 acquires additional information including, for example, SNS information corresponding to a location specified by location information in the inquiry and the acquired weather information. The additional acquisition unit 135 acquires SNS information posted in the past, which is, for example, SNS information corresponding to a location specified by location information in the inquiry and current weather information. The additional acquisition unit 135 acquires SNS information posted in the past, which is, for example, SNS information corresponding to a location specified by location information in the inquiry and weather information after a travel time has passed.

Additional information is additional information for a video. Additional information is, for example, weather information for the location specified by the location information corresponding to the video, and SNS information for the location specified by the location information corresponding to the video. The SNS information for the location specified by the location information corresponding to the video may be SNS information associated with the position information corresponding to the location specified by the location information corresponding to the video (SNS information posted at that location), or it may be SNS information including a character string that specifies that the topic is related to that location. Additional information may be considered to include, for example, route information, which will be described later.

The additional information acquired by the additional information acquisition unit 135 may be, for example, additional information on the route. Additional information on the route is additional information at any one or more points on the route from the current location to the point information included in the query.

Rights holder processing unit 136 performs rights holder processing. Rights holder processing is processing related to a rights holder identified by a rights holder identifier associated with a video. Note that the video in question is, for example, a video acquired by video acquisition unit 134. The video in question is, for example, a video received by video reception unit 121.

The rights holder processing unit 136 performs rights holder processing, which is processing in response to the information output unit 142 sending a video, and is processing related to the rights holder identified by the rights holder identifier associated with the video. The rights holder processing is, for example, a first security processing, which will be described later, a second security processing, which will be described later, a third security processing, which will be described later, a fourth security processing, which will be described later, and a compensation processing, which will be described later.

The rights holder identifier associated with a video is, for example, the rights holder identifier corresponding to the mobile terminal 2 that transmitted the video, or the identifier of the user of the user terminal 3 to which the video was transmitted. The user of the user terminal 3 is the user who transmitted the inquiry.

The third security means 1363 stores a rights holder identifier that identifies the user of the user terminal 3 in association with the video. The third security means 1363 stores the rights holder identifier in the storage unit 11 or the blockchain, for example.

The third security means 1363 may store the video in association with a rights holder identifier that identifies the user of the user terminal 3 that sent the inquiry.

The video is stored, for example, in the storage unit 11, but it may also be stored in another device, such as another device that constitutes the blockchain.

The fourth preservation means 1364 performs a fourth preservation process that accumulates preservation information. The preservation information includes access information for accessing the accumulated video. The order of accumulation of the video and the fourth preservation process for the preservation information corresponding to the video does not matter.

The fourth security means 1364 performs a fourth security process, for example, to store security information including access information for accessing the video acquired by the video acquisition unit 134 in the blockchain.

It is preferable that the fourth security means 1364 accumulates the security information in the blockchain. That is, it is preferable that the fourth security means 1364 accumulates the security information in the distributed ledger of the blockchain. It is preferable that the fourth security means 1364 registers the security information as an NFT (non-fungible token). It is preferable that the fourth security means 1364 registers the security information in a distributed file system in an IPFS (Inter Planetary File System) network.

The preservation information is information for ensuring the originality of a video. It can be said that the preservation information is heading information for a video. The preservation information is, for example, access information and a set of attribute values. It is preferable that the preservation information has, for example, one or more rights holder identifiers. When the preservation information has multiple rights holder identifiers, the rights holder of the video may be shared, and the multiple rights holder identifiers may be rights holder history information. The rights holder history information is a set of rights holder identifiers and is information that indicates the history of the rights holder. The fourth preservation process can guarantee the originality of the preservation information of a registered video. By guaranteeing the originality of the preservation information, the originality of the video corresponding to the preservation information is also guaranteed. The access information is information for accessing a video. The access information is information that identifies the storage destination of the video. The access information is, for example, a URL or a URI.

It is preferable that the preservation information includes information (which may be called a flag) indicating whether the video can be provided to a third party.

It is preferable that the compensation means 1365 acquires one or more video attribute values corresponding to the video transmitted by the information output unit 142, and performs compensation processing, which is processing for determining compensation for the rights holder and awarding the compensation, using the one or more video attribute values.

The one or more video attribute values here are, for example, the amount of video data, the duration of the video, the number of frames in the video, and the resolution of the video.

The reward means 1365 preferably performs reward processing, which is a process of acquiring a reward amount corresponding to a service identifier that identifies a service provided to the target video, and giving a reward corresponding to the reward amount. The service identifier is, for example, "view" or "purchase." In such a case, for example, the storage unit 11 stores the reward amount corresponding to the service identifier, or information for determining the reward amount corresponding to the service identifier.

The reward means 1365 performs reward processing, which is, for example, a process of acquiring a reward amount using one or more pieces of information from one or more video attribute values and one or more service identifiers, and granting a reward corresponding to the reward amount.

The various types of information are, for example, video, attribute value sets, rights holder identifiers, camera attribute values, and map information. The camera attribute values are the attribute values of the camera. The camera attribute values are, for example, the angle of view, directional information, and resolution. The camera attribute values may be included in the attribute value sets.

For example, one or more still images that make up a video are associated with one or more video attribute values that make up an attribute value set. The one or more video attribute values may correspond to all still images, may correspond to some of the still images, or may correspond to multiple still images.

The mobile receiving unit 22 receives various information and instructions. The various information and instructions are, for example, inquiries.

The movement processing unit 23 performs various types of processing. The various types of processing are, for example, processing performed by a position acquisition unit 231, a photographing unit 232, an attribute value acquisition unit 233, and a movement acquisition unit 234.

The location acquisition unit 231 acquires location information. The location acquisition unit 231 normally acquires location information that identifies the location of the mobile terminal 2. The location acquisition unit 231 acquires the current location. The location acquisition unit 231 acquires location information, for example, by a GPS receiver. However, the means or algorithm by which the location acquisition unit 231 acquires the location information is not important. Note that the current location is location information that identifies the current location.

The image capturing unit 232 captures video. For example, the image capturing unit 232 captures video while the mobile terminal 2 is moving. It is preferable that the captured video be associated with location information acquired by the location acquisition unit 231. It is preferable that the captured video be associated with one or more attribute values acquired by the attribute value acquisition unit 233, which will be described later.

It is preferable that the image capture unit 232 stores the captured video in the mobile storage unit 21. When the image capture unit 232 stores video in the mobile storage unit 21, which has a limited storage capacity, it is preferable that the image capture unit 232 overwrites the area in which the old video is stored with the new video. In other words, it is preferable that the structure of the mobile storage unit 21 is a ring buffer structure.

The attribute value acquisition unit 233 acquires one or more camera attribute values including directional information indicating the direction in which the image capture unit 232 captures images. It is preferable that the attribute value acquisition unit 233 acquires one or more video attribute values including the camera attribute value.

The attribute value acquisition unit 233 acquires, for example, one or more attribute values. One or more attribute values may be referred to as an attribute value set. The attribute value acquisition unit 233 acquires time information from a clock (not shown), for example, during shooting. The attribute value acquisition unit 233 acquires time information, for example, constantly, at predetermined intervals, or when acquisition conditions are met. The attribute value acquisition unit 233 acquires time information from a clock (not shown), for example, during shooting, and acquires seasonal information corresponding to the time information.

The movement processing unit 23 acquires temperature information corresponding to the position information, for example, from a server (not shown). The movement processing unit 23 acquires temperature information, for example, from a server (not shown), installed on a moving object. The movement processing unit 23 acquires temperature information, for example, constantly, at predetermined intervals, or when an acquisition condition is met. The acquisition condition is, for example, when the analysis result of the video meets a predetermined condition.

The attribute value acquisition unit 233, for example, acquires from map information one or more road attribute values or one or more point attribute values corresponding to the position information acquired by the position acquisition unit 231, and associates the road attribute values with the video. The attribute value acquisition unit 233, for example, acquires from map information point information corresponding to the position information acquired by the position acquisition unit 231, and associates the point information with the video. The attribute value acquisition unit 233, for example, acquires from map information point information that corresponds to the position information acquired by the position acquisition unit 231 and has a specific condition, and associates the point information with the video. The specific condition is, for example, that the point information is a specific type of point information (for example, a station name, a building name).

Note that associating with a video may mean associating with frames that make up the video, or with the entire video.

The attribute value acquisition unit 233, for example, acquires one or more tags for a video captured by the image capture unit 232 and associates the tags with the video. Note that a tag can also be considered an attribute value.

The attribute value acquisition unit 233, for example, analyzes the video captured by the imaging unit 232 and acquires one or more tags for the video.

The attribute value acquisition unit 233 acquires one or more tags, for example, using one or more moving object attribute values acquired during shooting by the shooting unit 232. The moving object attribute values are, for example, CAN data.

The attribute value acquisition unit 233, for example, determines one or more still images that match the video tag condition, and acquires a tag that pairs with the video tag condition. The attribute value acquisition unit 233 may also associate the tag with the one or more still images. Note that the still images are frames that make up the video.

For example, if the video tag condition is "the number of cars whose front-to-back spacing is within a threshold is equal to or greater than a threshold and the moving speed of the cars is equal to or less than a threshold" and the tag paired with the video tag condition is "traffic jam", the attribute value acquisition unit 233 analyzes frames of the video, recognizes multiple cars, and acquires the spacing between each of the multiple cars. The attribute value acquisition unit 233 also acquires the number of cars whose spacing is within a threshold. The attribute value acquisition unit 233 also acquires the moving distance and frame rate of one car in multiple frames, and acquires the speed of the car. The attribute value acquisition unit 233 then uses the number of cars whose spacing is within a threshold and the speed of the car to determine whether or not the video tag condition is met. If the video tag condition is met, the attribute value acquisition unit 233 acquires the tag "traffic jam" that is paired with the video tag condition. The attribute value acquisition unit 233 may also associate the tag "traffic jam" with the analyzed frame of the analyzed video.

The attribute value acquisition unit 233, for example, determines one or more moving object attribute values that match an attribute value tag condition, and acquires a tag that pairs with the attribute value tag condition. The attribute value acquisition unit 233 may also associate the tag with a video that pairs with the one or more moving object attribute values.

For example, if the attribute value tag condition is "driving time at a speed less than 30 km for 10 minutes or more & the ratio of the driving time during which the speed is less than 30% or more is 80% or more," and the tag paired with the attribute value tag condition is "traffic jam," the attribute value acquisition unit 233 uses the speed history of the CAN data associated with each field of the video to detect CAN data that matches the attribute value tag condition, acquires the tag "traffic jam" that matches the attribute value tag condition, and associates the tag with the field associated with the CAN data. Note that the CAN data associated with each field of the video is CAN data acquired at the same time that the field was photographed.

The movement acquisition unit 234 acquires a video to be transmitted to the information processing device 1. For example, the movement acquisition unit 234 associates the acquired location information with the video and acquires an additional video. For example, the movement acquisition unit 234 acquires an additional video in which one or more camera attribute values acquired by the attribute value acquisition unit 233 are also associated with the video. For example, the movement acquisition unit 234 acquires an additional video in which one or more attribute values acquired by the attribute value acquisition unit 233 are also associated with the video. An additional video is a video to which one or more attribute values have been added. Such one or more attribute values typically include location information.

When a transmission instruction is received, the moving acquisition unit 234 acquires a video to be transmitted. It is preferable that the moving acquisition unit 234 composes an additional video to be transmitted by the above-mentioned process. However, the moving acquisition unit 234 may simply acquire a captured video. In other words, the information transmitted from the mobile terminal 2 based on the reception of a transmission instruction may be only a video.
(3) If a video that matches the received query can be sent, the video is sent.

The movement acquisition unit 234 determines whether the acquired location information includes location information corresponding to the location information contained in the received inquiry. If the location information is included, the movement acquisition unit 234 acquires a video corresponding to the location information.

(S504) The route acquisition unit 133 acquires route information between the departure point and destination acquired in S503. An example of such route acquisition processing will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG. 6.

(S505) The route acquisition unit 133 acquires the travel time for traveling the route specified by the route information acquired in S504. Note that, for example, it is preferable for the route acquisition unit 133 to acquire the travel time according to the means of transportation specified by the means of transportation identifier in the inquiry. For example, when the means of transportation identifier is "automobile", it is preferable for the route acquisition unit 133 to acquire the travel time assuming a break of a predetermined time (for example, 30 minutes) every regular time (for example, 2 hours). Furthermore, the route acquisition unit 133 may acquire the travel time for each of the multiple location information contained in the route information acquired in S504.

(S506) The additional acquisition unit 135 acquires the location information of one or more points in the route information identified by the route information acquired in S504.

(S507) The additional acquisition unit 135 assigns 1 to counter i.

(S508) The additional acquisition unit 135 determines whether the i-th location information exists among the location information acquired in S501 and the one or more location information acquired in S506. If the i-th location information exists, the process proceeds to S509; if it does not exist, the process returns to the upper process.

(S509) The additional information acquisition unit 135 acquires additional information for the location specified by the i-th location information. An example of such additional information acquisition processing will be described using the flowchart in FIG. 8.

(S510) The video acquisition unit 134 acquires a video of the location specified by the i-th location information. An example of such video acquisition processing is described using the flowchart in FIG. 9.

(S511) The additional acquisition unit 135 increments the counter i by 1. Return to S508.

Next, an example of the route acquisition process in S504 will be explained using the flowchart in Figure 6.

(S601) The route acquisition unit 133 uses the map information in the storage unit 11 to acquire one or more pieces of route information that identify all routes between the departure point and destination acquired in S503.

(S602) The route acquisition unit 133 determines whether or not a selection condition exists in the received query. If a selection condition exists, the process proceeds to S603; if not, the process proceeds to S609.

(S603) The route acquisition unit 133 acquires the selection conditions. Note that the selection conditions are based on one or more attribute values.

(S604) The route acquisition unit 133 assigns 1 to counter i.

(S605) The route acquisition unit 133 determines whether the i-th route information exists among the route information acquired in S601. If the i-th route information exists, the process proceeds to S606; if not, the process proceeds to S608.

(S606) The route acquisition unit 133 acquires a score for the selection condition of the i-th route information. An example of such score acquisition processing is described using the flowchart in FIG. 7.

(S607) The route acquisition unit 133 increments the counter i by 1. Return to S605.

(S608) The route acquisition unit 133 acquires the route information with the highest score acquired in S606. The process returns to the upper level process.

(S609) The route acquisition unit 133 acquires the route information for the shortest route from the route information acquired in S601. The process returns to the upper level process.

Next, an example of the score acquisition process in S606 will be explained using the flowchart in Figure 7.

(S701) The route acquisition unit 133 assigns 1 to counter i.

(S702) The route acquisition unit 133 determines whether or not the i-th edge exists in the route information of interest. If the i-th edge exists, the process proceeds to S703; if the i-th edge does not exist, the process returns to the upper level process. Note that route information can usually be seen as a collection of nodes corresponding to points and edges (roads) connecting the nodes.

(S703) The route acquisition unit 133 acquires one or more attribute values of the i-th edge. The attribute value is, for example, a road attribute value or a point attribute value.

(S704) The route acquisition unit 133 judges whether or not one or more attribute values acquired in S703 match a prohibited condition. If the prohibited condition is matched, the process proceeds to S705, and if the prohibited condition is not matched, the process proceeds to S706. Note that prohibited conditions are usually included in the selection conditions. For example, if the transportation identifier included in the query is "automobile", the prohibited conditions are, for example, "one-way street going in the wrong direction" and "pedestrian-only road". If the transportation identifier included in the query is "walking", the prohibited condition is, for example, "motor vehicle-only road".

(S705) The route acquisition unit 133 temporarily stores the score "-∞" in a buffer (not shown) in association with the route information of interest. It then returns to the upper level process. Note that route information with a score of "-∞" is never selected.

(S706) The route acquisition unit 133 determines whether one or more attribute values acquired in S703 match the selection conditions.

(S707) The route acquisition unit 133 acquires a score according to S706. If the determination result in S706 is "matches the selection condition", the route acquisition unit 133, for example, adds to the score. If the determination result in S706 is "does not match the selection condition", the route acquisition unit 133, for example, subtracts from the score or does not change the score.

(S708) The route acquisition unit 133 increments the counter i by 1. Return to S702.

Next, an example of the additional acquisition process of S509 will be explained using the flowchart in Figure 8.

(S801) The additional acquisition unit 135 acquires the current time from a clock (not shown).

(S802) The additional information acquisition unit 135 determines whether or not to use travel time when acquiring additional information. If travel time is to be used, the process proceeds to S803; if travel time is not to be used, the process proceeds to S804.

Note that, for example, if the inquiry includes a departure point and a destination, the additional acquisition unit 135 determines that travel time is to be used. If the inquiry includes only a destination, for example, the additional acquisition unit 135 determines that travel time is not to be used.

(S803) The additional acquisition unit 135 acquires time information that specifies the time of arrival at the destination. The additional acquisition unit 135 acquires the time information using the travel time acquired in S505 and the current time.

(S804) The additional acquisition unit 135 acquires the i-th location information in S508 or the location information corresponding to that location information.

(S805) The additional acquisition unit 135 acquires weather information for the target location and the target time from a weather server (not shown). The target location is the location specified by the location information or position information acquired in S804. The target time is the time information acquired in S803 or the current time.

(S806) The additional acquisition unit 135 assigns 1 to counter i.

(S807) The additional acquisition unit 135 determines whether or not there is an i-th SNS server from which to acquire SNS information. If there is an i-th SNS server, the process proceeds to S808; if there is not, the process returns to the upper level process. Note that information for accessing one or more SNS servers is stored in the storage unit 11. The information for accessing the SNS server is, for example, an API for acquiring SNS information and the IP address of the SNS server.

(S808) The additional acquisition unit 135 accesses the i-th SNS server and acquires from the SNS server one or more pieces of SNS information posted at the target location. In addition, it is preferable that the additional acquisition unit 135 acquires one or more pieces of SNS information posted at the target location when the weather specified by the weather information acquired in S805 is the one or more pieces of SNS information. It is preferable that the additional acquisition unit 135 acquires one or more pieces of SNS information posted when the weather specified by the weather information acquired in S805 is visually distinguishable from one or more pieces of SNS information posted when the weather is other than the one or more pieces of SNS information. Being visually distinguishable means, for example, arranging one or more pieces of SNS information posted when the weather specified by the weather information acquired in S805 at the top and arranging one or more pieces of SNS information posted when the weather is other than the one or more pieces of SNS information at the bottom. Being visually distinguishable means, for example, having different character attribute values (color, font, size, etc.).

(S809) The additional acquisition unit 135 increments the counter i by 1. Return to S807.

Next, an example of the video acquisition process of S510 will be explained using the flowchart in Figure 9.

(S901) The video acquisition unit 134 acquires location information of a point of interest. The point of interest is the point identified by the i-th location information of S508.

(S902) The video acquisition unit 134 acquires conditions that include location information. Conditions that include location information include, for example, a condition that includes only location information, a condition that includes location information and weather information, or a condition that includes location information and time information.

(S903) The video acquisition unit 134 determines whether the conditions acquired in S902 are conditions for acquiring only the current video. If the conditions are for acquiring only the current video, the process proceeds to S904, and if the conditions are for including past videos as well, the process proceeds to S913.

Note that, for example, if the conditions acquired in S902 include information other than location information (e.g., weather information or time information), the video acquisition unit 134 determines to acquire only the current video.

(S904) The video acquisition unit 134 assigns 1 to counter i.

(S905) The video acquisition unit 134 determines whether the i-th mobile terminal 2 exists in the terminal management unit 111. If the i-th mobile terminal 2 exists, the process proceeds to S906; if not, the process proceeds to S919.

(S906) The video acquisition unit 134 refers to the movement information corresponding to the i-th mobile terminal 2 and determines whether the i-th mobile terminal 2 is capable of transmitting video. If the video can be transmitted, the process proceeds to S907; if the video cannot be transmitted, the process proceeds to S912.

(S907) The video acquisition unit 134 acquires an attribute value set including the location information of the i-th mobile terminal 2 from the storage unit 11. Note that if the i-th mobile terminal 2 has not transmitted an attribute value set, the video acquisition unit 134 cannot acquire the attribute value set of the i-th mobile terminal 2.

(S908) The video acquisition unit 134 determines whether the information acquired in S907 matches the conditions acquired in S90. If the conditions match, the process proceeds to S909; if not, the process proceeds to S912.

The condition is met, for example, when the location information of the i-th mobile terminal 2 is identical to the location information included in the condition, or when the distance between two points identified by the two pieces of location information is within a threshold or less than a threshold.

(S909) The video acquisition unit 134 acquires the terminal communication information of the i-th mobile terminal 2. Next, the video acquisition unit 134 transmits a transmission instruction to the i-th mobile terminal 2 using the terminal communication information.

(S910) The video acquisition unit 134 determines whether or not a video has been received from the i-th mobile terminal 2. If a video has been received, the process proceeds to S911; if a video has not been received, the process returns to S910.

(S911) The video acquisition unit 134 acquires the video received in S910. Then, the process returns to the upper level process. Note that the length (time) of the acquired video does not matter.

(S912) The video acquisition unit 134 increments the counter i by 1. Return to S905.

(S913) The video acquisition unit 134 assigns 1 to counter j.

(S914) The video acquisition unit 134 determines whether or not the jth previous video exists. If the jth previous video exists, the process proceeds to S915; if not, the process proceeds to S904. Note that the previous video is a video that the video storage unit 131 has stored in the past.

(S915) The video acquisition unit 134 acquires a set of attribute values that are paired with the jth past video.

(S916) The video acquisition unit 134 determines whether the set of attribute values acquired in S915 matches the condition acquired in S902. If the condition is met, the process proceeds to S917; if not, the process proceeds to S918.

(S917) The video acquisition unit 134 acquires the jth past video. Then, the process returns to the upper level process. Note that the length (time) of the acquired video does not matter.

(S918) The video acquisition unit 134 increments counter j by 1. Return to S914.

(S919) The video acquisition unit 134 assigns 1 to counter k.

(S920) The video acquisition unit 134 refers to the terminal management unit 111 and determines whether the kth mobile terminal 2 that sends the query exists. If the kth mobile terminal 2 exists, the process proceeds to S921; if not, the process proceeds to S923.

The mobile terminal 2 that sends the query is a mobile terminal 2 that corresponds to the "moving" movement information and has not sent a set of attribute values.

(S921) The video acquisition unit 134 acquires the terminal communication information of the kth mobile terminal 2 from the terminal management unit 111. The video acquisition unit 134 uses the terminal communication information to send a query to the kth mobile terminal 2.

(S922) The video acquisition unit 134 increments the counter k by 1. Return to S920.

(S923) In response to the inquiry, the video acquisition unit 134 determines whether or not a video has been received from the mobile terminal 2. If a video has been received, the process proceeds to S924; if not, the process proceeds to S925.

(S924) The video acquisition unit 134 acquires the video received in S923. Then, the process returns to the upper level process. Note that the length (time) of the acquired video does not matter.

(S925) The video acquisition unit 134 determines whether a timeout has occurred. If a timeout has occurred, the process proceeds to S926. If a timeout has not occurred, the process returns to S923.

(S926) The video acquisition unit 134 sends an error message to the user terminal 3 that sent the inquiry, indicating that the video could not be acquired. The process returns to the upper level process.

Next, an example of the fourth maintenance process of S407 and S414 will be explained using the flowchart in Figure 10.

(S1001) The fourth security means 1364 acquires access information that identifies the storage destination of the video.

(S1002) The fourth maintenance means 1364 acquires a set of attribute values corresponding to the stored video.

(S1003) The fourth security means 1364 constructs security information having the access information acquired in S1001, the attribute value set acquired in S1002, and the rights holder identifier of the video. Note that if a new rights holder identifier has been acquired, the fourth security means 1364 constructs security information including, for example, the new rights holder identifier and the original rights holder identifier.
(S1004) The fourth maintenance unit 1364 accumulates the maintenance information configured in S1003, and then returns to the upper level process.

In addition, in S1004, if preservation information for a video corresponding to the preservation information to be stored has been stored, this preservation information is overwritten onto the preservation information configured in S1003. This makes it possible to manage, for example, the transition of rights holders of the video. Furthermore, the fourth preservation means 1364 stores the preservation information in, for example, a blockchain.

Next, an example of the reward process in S408 and S415 will be explained using the flowchart in Figure 11.

(S1101) The compensation means 1365 acquires one or more rights holder identifiers for the target video. The compensation means 1365 may also acquire the rights holder identifiers of the previous rights holders for the target video.

(S1102) The reward means 1365 acquires a set of attribute values of the target video. Note that the target video is a video acquired by the video acquisition unit 134.

(S1103) The reward means 1365 acquires a service identifier that identifies the service provided for the target video. The service identifier is, for example, "view" or "purchase."

(S1104) The reward means 1365 obtains the reward amount using one or more pieces of information from the attribute value set obtained in S1102 and the service identifier obtained in S1103.

If multiple rights holder identifiers have been acquired, the compensation means 1365 acquires a compensation amount for each rights holder identifier. If rights holder history information including multiple rights holder identifiers has been acquired, the compensation means 1365 may acquire a compensation amount for each rights holder identifier.

It is preferable for the reward means 1365 to determine a larger reward amount, for example, the larger the amount of data, the duration, or the number of frames of the original video used in the video transmitted by the information output unit 142. It is preferable for the reward means 1365 to determine a larger reward amount, for example, the larger the resolution of the original video used in the video transmitted by the information output unit 142.

(S1105) The reward means 1365 performs processing to give a reward to the rights holder identified by the rights holder identifier obtained in S1101, in the amount of reward obtained in S1104.

(S1106) The remuneration means 1365 performs a process of charging the user who has enjoyed the service related to the target video with a remuneration. The process returns to the upper level process. Note that the target video is usually a video transmitted to the user terminal 3.

In the flowchart of FIG. 11, the profits earned by the operator of the information processing device 1 may be acquired and accumulated.

Next, a first operation example of the mobile terminal 2 will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG. 12. The first operation example is a case in which the mobile terminal 2 transmits video continuously after starting to move.

(S1201) The mobile terminal 2 determines whether or not a start instruction has been received. If a start instruction has been received, the process proceeds to S1202, and if not, the process returns to S1201. The start instruction may be, for example, an instruction to launch a video transmission application or to power on the mobile terminal 2.

(S1202) The location acquisition unit 231 acquires location information that identifies the current location of the mobile terminal 2.

(S1203) The attribute value acquisition unit 233 acquires one or more attribute values excluding the location information. The one or more attribute values include, for example, time information and road attribute values.

(S1206) The mobile transmission unit 24 determines whether or not to transmit the video to the information processing device 1. If a video is to be transmitted, the process proceeds to S1207, and if not, the process proceeds to S1209. When transmitting a video, for example, the transmission flag may be "ON". The initial value of the transmission flag may be either "ON" or "OFF". The transmission flag is changed by the user of the mobile terminal 2.

(S1207) The travel acquisition unit 234 acquires a terminal identifier from the travel storage unit 21. The travel acquisition unit 234 acquires a travel means identifier from the travel storage unit 21.

(S1208) The mobile transmission unit 24 transmits the additional image accumulated in S1205 to the information processing device 1 in association with the terminal identifier and the transportation means identifier acquired in S1207. Note that the amount of video transmitted at one time does not matter.

(S1209) The movement processing unit 23 judges whether or not to end the process. If the process is to be ended, the process returns to S1201. If the process is not to be ended, the process returns to S1202. The process is ended, for example, when an end instruction is received from the user. An end instruction is received, for example, when the power is turned off or the engine is turned off.

Next, a second operation example of the mobile terminal 2 will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG. 13. The second operation example is a case in which the mobile terminal 2, after starting to move, continuously transmits a set of attribute values to the information processing device 1, and transmits a video to the information processing device 1 in response to receiving a transmission instruction from the information processing device 1.

(S1301) The mobile terminal 2 determines whether or not a start instruction has been received. If a start instruction has been received, the process proceeds to S1302, and if not, the process proceeds to S1307. The start instruction may be, for example, an instruction to launch a video transmission application or to power on the mobile terminal 2. In addition, in response to receiving a start instruction, it is preferable that the movement transmission unit 24 transmits movement information indicating that "movement has started" to the information processing device 1 in association with the terminal identifier.

(S1302) The location acquisition unit 231 acquires location information that identifies the current location of the mobile terminal 2.

(S1305) The movement acquisition unit 234 composes an additional video having a video, location information, and one or more attribute values. The movement acquisition unit 234 accumulates the additional video in the movement storage unit 21. Note that the location information and the one or more attribute values are a set of attribute values.

(S1306) The mobile transmission unit 24 associates the attribute value set with the terminal identifier and transmits it to the information processing device 1. Return to S1301.

(S1307) The mobile receiving unit 22 determines whether or not a transmission instruction has been received from the information processing device 1. If a transmission instruction has been received, the process proceeds to S1302, and if not, the process returns to S1301. Note that if the process proceeds to S1302, the processes of S1303, S1304, and S1305 are performed, and then the process proceeds to S130.

(S1308) The travel acquisition unit 234 acquires a terminal identifier from the travel storage unit 21. The travel acquisition unit 234 acquires a travel means identifier from the travel storage unit 21.

(S1309) The mobile transmission unit 24 transmits the additional image accumulated in S1305 to the information processing device 1 in association with the terminal identifier and the transportation means identifier acquired in S1308. Note that the amount of video transmitted at one time does not matter.

(S1310) The movement processing unit 23 judges whether or not to end the transmission of the video. If the video transmission is to be ended, the process returns to S1301. If not, the process returns to S1302. Note that the video transmission is ended, for example, when an end instruction is received from the user of the mobile terminal 2. In addition, in response to receiving the end instruction, the movement transmission unit 24 preferably transmits movement information indicating that "movement has ended" to the information processing device 1 in association with the terminal identifier.

Next, a third operation example of the mobile terminal 2 will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG. 14. In the third operation example, the mobile terminal 2 determines whether or not a video matching the inquiry can be transmitted in response to receiving an inquiry, and transmits the video to the information processing device 1 if it determines that the video can be transmitted.

(S1401) The mobile terminal 2 determines whether or not a start instruction has been received. If a start instruction has been received, the process proceeds to S1402, and if not, the process returns to S1401. The start instruction may be, for example, an instruction to launch a video transmission application or to power on the mobile terminal 2.

(S1402) The movement transmission unit 24 transmits movement information indicating that "movement has started" to the information processing device 1 in association with the terminal identifier. Note that the movement information indicating that "movement has started" is movement information indicating that "video can be transmitted."

(S1403) The location acquisition unit 231 acquires location information that identifies the current location of the mobile terminal 2.

(S1404) The attribute value acquisition unit 233 acquires one or more attribute values excluding the location information. The one or more attribute values include, for example, time information and road attribute values.

(S1405) The image capture unit 232 captures and acquires video.

(S1406) The movement acquisition unit 234 creates an additional video having a video, location information, and one or more attribute values. The movement acquisition unit 234 accumulates the additional video in the movement storage unit 21.

(S1407) The mobile transmission unit 24 determines whether or not to transmit the video to the information processing device 1. If a video is to be transmitted, the process proceeds to S1407; if not, the process proceeds to S1409. When a video is to be transmitted, for example, the transmission flag may be "ON". Also, the initial value of the transmission flag is "OFF". When the transmission flag is "ON", the video is to be transmitted, and when the transmission flag is "OFF", the video is not to be transmitted.

(S1408) The travel acquisition unit 234 acquires a terminal identifier from the travel storage unit 21. The travel acquisition unit 234 acquires a travel means identifier from the travel storage unit 21.

(S1409) The mobile transmission unit 24 transmits the additional image accumulated in S1405 to the information processing device 1 in association with the terminal identifier and the transportation means identifier acquired in S1407. Note that the amount of video transmitted at one time does not matter.

(S1410) The movement processing unit 23 judges whether or not to end the transmission of the video. If the transmission of the video is to be ended, the process proceeds to S1411. If the transmission of the video is not to be ended, the process proceeds to S1412. Note that the transmission of the video is to be ended, for example, when an end instruction is received from the user of the mobile terminal 2.

(S1411) The movement processing unit 23 sets the transmission flag to "OFF". The movement transmission unit 24 associates the movement with the terminal identifier and transmits movement information indicating that "movement has ended" to the information processing device 1. Return to S1401. Note that the movement information indicating that "movement has ended" is movement information indicating that "video cannot be transmitted".

(S1412) The mobile receiving unit 22 determines whether or not an inquiry has been received from the information processing device 1. If an inquiry has been received, the process proceeds to S1413; if an inquiry has not been received, the process returns to S1402.

(S1413) The movement processing unit 23 determines whether the conditions included in the query are met. If the conditions are met, the process proceeds to S1414; if the conditions are not met, the process returns to S1402.

(S1414) The movement processing unit 23 sets the transmission flag to "ON". Return to S1402.

Next, an example of the operation of the user terminal 3 will be explained using the flowchart in Figure 15.

(S1501) The user reception unit 32 determines whether or not a query has been received. If a query has been received, the process proceeds to S1502. If a query has not been received, the process proceeds to S1508. The query includes location information that specifies the destination. The query includes, for example, a selection condition (for example, "don't get wet in the rain").

(S1502) The user processing unit 33 composes a query to be sent. For example, the user processing unit 33 composes a query associated with a user identifier. For example, the user processing unit 33 acquires a transportation identifier from the user storage unit 31, and composes a query having the transportation identifier. For example, the user processing unit 33 acquires a current location, and composes a query having departure point information corresponding to the current location. Note that the departure point information may be location information indicating the current location, or may be point information.

(S1503) The user transmission unit 34 transmits the inquiry constructed in S1502 to the information processing device 1.

(S1504) The user receiving unit 35 determines whether or not one or more videos and one or more pieces of additional information have been received from the information processing device 1. If a video or the like has been received, the process proceeds to S1505; if not, the process returns to S1504.

(S1505) The user acquisition unit 331 acquires the one or more videos and one or more pieces of additional information received in S1504, and stores them in the user storage unit 31.

(S1506) The user output unit 36 outputs the one or more videos and one or more pieces of additional information acquired in S1505.

(S1507) The user processing unit 33 determines whether or not to end the output of the video, etc. If the output is to be ended, the process returns to S1501. If the output is not to be ended, the process returns to S1504.

(S1508) The user reception unit 32 determines whether or not a purchase instruction has been received from the user. If a purchase instruction has been received, the process proceeds to S1518, and if not, the process returns to S15001. Note that the purchase instruction may include, for example, an inquiry.

(S1509) The user processing unit 33 composes a purchase instruction to be sent. Next, the user sending unit 34 associates the purchase instruction with the user identifier and sends it to the information processing device 1. Return to S1501.

In the flowchart of FIG. 15, the user terminal 3 may accept a viewing instruction, receive a video corresponding to the viewing instruction, and output the video.

In the flowchart of FIG. 15, the process ends when the power is turned off or an interrupt occurs to end the process.
<Specific examples>

The specific operation of information system A in this embodiment will be described below. A conceptual diagram of information system A is shown in Figure 1.

Currently, a terminal management table is stored in the terminal management unit 111 of the information processing device 1. The terminal management table is a table that manages the terminal information of one or more mobile terminals 2. The terminal management table manages one or more records that have a "terminal identifier" and "terminal communication information." The terminal identifier can be a rights holder identifier.

In addition, the storage unit 11 of the information processing device 1 stores access information for accessing one or more SNS servers. The access information is, for example, an API or an IP address.

In this situation, the following two specific examples will be described. Specific example 1 is a case where route information that meets the selection conditions is obtained, and video and SNS information are output together with the route information. Specific example 2 is a case where route information to the destination, weather information that takes into account the travel time to the destination, SNS information that corresponds to the weather information, and video are output.

(Specific Example 1)
It is assumed that the user inputs a query "<QUERY> Location information = X location Selection condition = "Don't get wet in the rain"" to the user terminal 3. Next, the user terminal 3 accepts the query, associates the query with the user identifier and the current location, and transmits the query to the information processing device 1.

The inquiry reception unit 122 of the information processing device 1 receives an inquiry from the user terminal 3 that includes location information "Location X" and the selection condition "Don't get wet in the rain."

Next, the route acquisition unit 133 acquires the current position indicating the departure point paired with the query. The route acquisition unit 133 also acquires point information "Point X" which is the destination. Next, the route acquisition unit 133 acquires multiple route information which are candidates for route information between the departure point and the destination. Next, the route acquisition unit 133 acquires a score for each of the multiple candidate route information based on the selection condition "stay dry". Note that here, the route acquisition unit 133 acquires as the score the sum of the lengths of edges whose road attribute values correspond to "stay dry" for each piece of route information. Then, the route acquisition unit 133 acquires the route information with the highest score.

The additional acquisition unit 135 also acquires location information for one or more points contained in the acquired route information. The additional acquisition unit 135 acquires location information for the destination. Next, the additional acquisition unit 135 acquires SNS information corresponding to each of the two or more pieces of acquired location information from one or more SNS servers.

The video acquisition unit 134 also acquires videos corresponding to the two or more pieces of acquired location information through the process described using the flowchart in FIG. 9.

Next, the processing unit 13 creates a screen including route information of a route to point X that is rain-free or unlikely to get wet in the rain, SNS information of two or more points on the route, and videos of two or more points on the route.

Then, the output unit 14 transmits the screen to the user terminal 3.

Then, the user terminal 3 receives and outputs the screen. An example of such an output is shown in FIG. 16. In FIG. 16, 1601 is a route to point X (1600) that is less likely to get wet in the rain. 1602 is a video taken by the mobile terminal 2 at a point on the route. 1603 is SNS information posted at each of the three points on the route.

(Specific Example 2)
It is assumed that the user inputs a query "<QUERY> location information = Tokyo... transportation means identifier = automobile" to the user terminal 3. Next, the user terminal 3 accepts the query, associates the query with the user identifier and the current location (x1, y1) [Chuo-ku, Kobe], and transmits the query to the information processing device 1.

The inquiry reception unit 122 of the information processing device 1 receives the inquiry from the user terminal 3.

Next, the route acquisition unit 133 acquires the current position (x1, y1) that is paired with the query. The route acquisition unit 133 also acquires route information for traveling by car, which is the shortest route information to the destination location, based on the "transportation means identifier = automobile" in the query.

The additional acquisition unit 135 also acquires location information for one or more points contained in the acquired route information. The additional acquisition unit 135 acquires location information for the destination. Here, it is assumed that the additional acquisition unit 135 has acquired location information for four points.

Next, the additional acquisition unit 135 acquires the expected arrival time at each of the four locations. Next, the additional acquisition unit 135 acquires weather information at the expected arrival time at each of the four locations from a weather server (not shown). Here, the acquired weather information is weather forecast information.

The additional acquisition unit 135 also acquires SNS information corresponding to each of the four locations, including weather information at the expected arrival time, from an SNS server (not shown).

Then, the video acquisition unit 134 acquires from the stored past videos those videos that correspond to each of the four locations and that correspond to the weather information at the expected arrival time. Note that if there is a location for which there is no past video, the video transmitted from the mobile terminal 2 currently moving through that location is acquired by the process described using the flowchart in FIG. 9.

Then, the processing unit 13 creates a screen that includes route information from Chuo Ward, Kobe City to the destination in Tokyo, weather information for the estimated time of arrival at each of the four points on the route, SNS information corresponding to the points and the weather information, and videos of each point.

Then, the output unit 14 transmits the screen to the user terminal 3.

Then, the user terminal 3 receives and outputs the screen. An example of such output is shown in FIG. 17. In FIG. 17, 1701 is a route. 1702 is a video corresponding to the weather information at the estimated time of arrival at a point on the route. 1703 is the weather information at the estimated time of arrival at a point on the route. 1704 is SNS information corresponding to the weather information at the estimated time of arrival at a point on the route.

As described above, according to this embodiment, a video of a desired location and additional information can be provided. The additional information is, for example, one or more types of information from among weather information for the location and SNS information for the location.

Furthermore, this embodiment can provide video of a desired location and forecast weather information for the time of arrival at that location.

Furthermore, according to this embodiment, it is possible to provide a video of a desired location and SNS information posted when the weather is as specified by the weather information for that location.

Furthermore, this embodiment can provide video and additional information for two or more locations along the route to a desired location.

In addition, this embodiment can recommend a desired route to a desired location.

Furthermore, according to this embodiment, video and additional information can be provided for two or more locations along a desired route to a desired location.

Furthermore, this embodiment allows for appropriate processing regarding the rights holder of the video.
