Abstract
A vehicle imaging support device includes: an identification unit that is configured to identify an imaging device that is able to image a vehicle in a driving state from outside, based on a position of the vehicle; a instruction unit that is configured to instructs the imaging device identified by the identification unit, to capture an image of the vehicle in the driving state; and an acquisition unit that obtains the image captured by the imaging device in response to the instruction from the instruction unit.
Claims15
A vehicle imaging support device comprising a memory and a processor coupled to the memory, the processor configured to:
- receive a request for imaging a vehicle and a position of the vehicle from a terminal device installed in the vehicle;
- identify an imaging device that is able to image the vehicle in a driving state from outside, based on the position of the vehicle in response to receiving the request;
- transmit, to the vehicle, guide information for guiding the vehicle to a location at which the identified imaging device is installed in response to identifying the imaging device;
- instruct the identified imaging device to capture an image of the vehicle in the driving state;
- obtain the image captured by the imaging device in response to the instruction;
- receive a user ID from the terminal device installed in the vehicle;
- retrieve a number corresponding to the user ID from a registration table stored in the memory;
- determine whether the number is present in the captured image;
- and
- transmit the captured image to the terminal device installed in the vehicle in response to determining that the number is present in the captured image.
A non-transitory storage medium storing a program to cause a computer to execute a vehicle imaging support process, the vehicle imaging support process comprises:
- receiving a request for imaging a vehicle and a position of the vehicle from a terminal device installed in the vehicle;
- identifying an imaging device that is able to image a vehicle in a driving state from outside, based on the position of the vehicle in response to receiving the request;
- transmitting, to the vehicle, guide information for guiding the vehicle to a location at which the identified imaging device is installed in response to identifying the imaging device;
- instructing the identified imaging device to capture an image of the vehicle in the driving state;
- obtaining the image captured by the imaging device in response to the instructing;
- receiving a user ID from the terminal device installed in the vehicle;
- retrieving a number corresponding to the user ID from a registration table stored in the memory;
- determining whether the number is present in the captured image;
- and
- transmitting the captured image to the terminal device installed in the vehicle in response to determining that the number is present in the captured image.
