## Abstract

Provided is an information processing device that includes a display control unit that controls display of condition information indicating conditions of livestock, an acquisition unit that acquires task information indicating a task related to the livestock, which is based on the condition information, and an output unit that outputs command information that indicates a command for the task indicated by the task information.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An information processing device, comprising:
a processor configured to:
acquire condition information that indicates a plurality of conditions associated with livestock;
control display of the acquired condition information on a first external device;
acquire task information from the first external device based on the display of the acquired condition information on the first external device, wherein the acquired task information indicates a task related to the livestock;
generate command information based on the acquired task information, wherein the generated command information indicates a command associated with the task;
determine a specific external device from a plurality of second external devices based on the acquired condition information; and
output the generated command information to the determined specific external device.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein
the processor is further configured to control display of a virtual space on the first external device, and
a position of the livestock in a real space is associated with a position of the livestock in the virtual space.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The information processing device according to claim 2, wherein
the processor is further configured to switch the display of the virtual space corresponding to each time instant of a plurality of time instants.

### Claim 4 (depends on 2)

The information processing device according to claim 2, wherein
the virtual space corresponds to a view of the real space from above an area associated with the livestock.

### Claim 5 (depends on 2)

The information processing device according to claim 2, wherein
the virtual space corresponds to a view of the real space from a ground level of an area associated with the livestock.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein
the processor is further configured to:
generate a plurality of candidates based on the acquired condition information; and
control display of the generated plurality of candidates on the first external device, and
the plurality of candidates is associated with the task related to the livestock.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein
the processor is further configured to notify a user based on the generated command information, and
the user is associated with the specific external device.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The information processing device according to claim 7, wherein
the processor is further configured to control superimposition of the generated command information on at least a part of a user field of view, and
the specific external device displays the superimposed command information.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein
the processor is further configured to control execution of the task, and
the task is executed by the specific external device based on the generated command information.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The information processing device according to claim 9, wherein the plurality of second external devices includes a mobile object.

### Claim 11 (depends on 9)

The information processing device according to claim 9, wherein the plurality of second external devices includes a sensor.

### Claim 12 (depends on 1)

The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein
the processor is further configured to generate a new condition associated with the livestock based on the acquired condition information, and
the new condition is different from the plurality of conditions of the livestock.

### Claim 13 (depends on 1)

The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein
the processor is further configured to update each of a condition database and a command database,
the condition database includes the acquired condition information and a time of the acquisition of the condition information, and
the command database includes the generated command information and a time of the generation of the command information.

### Claim 14

An information processing method, comprising:
acquiring condition information that indicates a plurality of conditions associated with livestock;
controlling display of the acquired condition information on a first external device;
acquiring task information from the first external device based on the display of the acquired condition information on the first external device, wherein the acquired task information indicates a task related to the livestock;
generating command information based on the acquired task information, wherein the generated command information indicates a command associated with the task;
determining a specific external device from a plurality of second external devices based on the acquired condition information; and
outputting the generated command information to the determined specific external device.

### Claim 15

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions which, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to execute operations, the operations comprising:
acquiring condition information that indicates a plurality of conditions associated with livestock;
controlling display of the acquired condition information on a first external device;
acquiring task information from the first external device based on the display of the acquired condition information on the first external device, wherein the acquired task information indicates a task related to the livestock;
generating command information based on the acquired task information, wherein the generated command information indicates a command associated with the task;
determining a specific external device from a plurality of second external devices based on the acquired condition information; and
outputting the generated command information to the determined specific external device.
