Information processing apparatus, non-transitory storage medium, and information processing method

A non-transitory storage medium storing instructions that are executable by one or more processors and that cause the one or more processors to perform functions comprising:

• storing behavior information of a user in a vehicle in association with a date and time;
• acquiring an image of surroundings of the vehicle via an imaging unit of the vehicle when a difference between behavior information at a specific time and behavior information at a time later than the specific time is detected;
• and
• storing the image in association with the date and time and the behavior information, wherein
• the behavior information includes driving information of the vehicle,
• the driving information includes a destination, a frequency of visits to a specific destination, and a moving route to a specific destination, and
• the functions further comprise:
• determining that the difference between the destination at the specific time and the destination at the time later than the specific time is detected, the destination at the specific time being a destination that is arrived at after the vehicle has travelled thereto,
• acquiring the image of the surroundings of the vehicle when it is determined that the difference between the destination at the specific time and the destination at the time later than the specific time is detected,
• determining that the difference between the destination at the specific time and the destination at the time later than the specific time is not detected, the destination at the specific time being the destination that is arrived at after the vehicle has travelled thereto,
• not acquiring the image of the surroundings of the vehicle when it is determined that the difference between the destination at the specific time and the destination at the time later than the specific time is not detected,
• determining that the difference between the frequency of visits to the specific destination at the specific time and the frequency of visits to the specific destination at the time later than the specific time is detected, the frequency of visits to the specific destination at the specific time being a frequency at which the vehicle has travelled to the specific destination that is a destination that is arrived at after the vehicle has travelled thereto,
• acquiring the image of the surroundings of the vehicle when it is determined that the difference between the frequency of visits to the specific destination at the specific time and the frequency of visits to the specific destination at the time later than the specific time is detected,
• determining that the difference between the frequency of visits to the specific destination at the specific time and the frequency of visits to the specific destination at the time later than the specific time is not detected, the frequency of visits to the specific destination at the specific time being a frequency at which the vehicle has travelled to the specific destination that is the destination that is arrived at after the vehicle has travelled thereto,
• not acquiring the image of the surroundings of the vehicle when it is determined that the difference between the frequency of visits to the specific destination at the specific time and the frequency of visits to the specific destination at the time later than the specific time is not detected,
• determining that the difference between the moving route to the specific destination at the specific time and the moving route to the specific destination at the time later than the specific time is detected, the moving route to the specific destination at the specific time being a moving route to the specific destination that is a destination that is arrived at after the vehicle has travelled thereto,
• acquiring the image of the surroundings of the vehicle when it is determined that the difference between the moving route to the specific destination at the specific time and the moving route to the specific destination at the time later than the specific time is detected,
• determining that the difference between the moving route to the specific destination at the specific time and the moving route to the specific destination at the time later than the specific time is not detected, the moving route to the specific destination at the specific time being the moving route to the specific destination that is the destination that is arrived at after the vehicle has travelled thereto, and
• not acquiring the image of the surroundings of the vehicle when it is determined that the difference between the moving route to the specific destination at the specific time and the moving route to the specific destination at the time later than the specific time is not detected.

An information processing method executed by an information processing apparatus communicable with a vehicle, the information processing method comprising:

• storing behavior information of a user in the vehicle in association with a date and time;
• acquiring an image of surroundings of the vehicle via an imaging unit of the vehicle when a difference between behavior information at a specific time and behavior information at a time later than the specific time is detected;
• and
• storing the image in association with the date and time and the behavior information, wherein
• the behavior information includes driving information of the vehicle,
• the driving information includes a destination, a frequency of visits to a specific destination, and a moving route to a specific destination, and
• the method further comprises:
• determining that the difference between the destination at the specific time and the destination at the time later than the specific time is detected, the destination at the specific time being a destination that is arrived at after the vehicle has travelled thereto,
• acquiring the image of the surroundings of the vehicle when it is determined that the difference between the destination at the specific time and the destination at the time later than the specific time is detected,
• determining that the difference between the destination at the specific time and the destination at the time later than the specific time is not detected, the destination at the specific time being the destination that is arrived at after the vehicle has travelled thereto,
• not acquiring the image of the surroundings of the vehicle when it is determined that the difference between the destination at the specific time and the destination at the time later than the specific time is not detected,
• determining that the difference between the frequency of visits to the specific destination at the specific time and the frequency of visits to the specific destination at the time later than the specific time is detected, the frequency of visits to the specific destination at the specific time being a frequency at which the vehicle has travelled to the specific destination that is a destination that is arrived at after the vehicle has travelled thereto,
• acquiring the image of the surroundings of the vehicle when it is determined that the difference between the frequency of visits to the specific destination at the specific time and the frequency of visits to the specific destination at the time later than the specific time is detected,
• determining that the difference between the frequency of visits to the specific destination at the specific time and the frequency of visits to the specific destination at the time later than the specific time is not detected, the frequency of visits to the specific destination at the specific time being a frequency at which the vehicle has travelled to the specific destination that is the destination that is arrived at after the vehicle has travelled thereto,
• not acquiring the image of the surroundings of the vehicle when it is determined that the difference between the frequency of visits to the specific destination at the specific time and the frequency of visits to the specific destination at the time later than the specific time is not detected,
• determining that the difference between the moving route to the specific destination at the specific time and the moving route to the specific destination at the time later than the specific time is detected, the moving route to the specific destination at the specific time being a moving route to the specific destination that is a destination that is arrived at after the vehicle has travelled thereto,
