determine whether the connection information includes information indicating an abnormality in the connection portion; and output information that issues a notification that the connection portion is abnormal when the processor determines that the connection information includes the information indicating an abnormality in the connection portion. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An information processing device comprising a processor configured to: acquire connection information representing a state of a connection region including a connection portion that connects a vehicle and a power supply target such that power is able to be supplied; determine whether the connection information includes information indicating an abnormality in the connection portion; output information that issues a notification that the connection portion is abnormal when the processor determines that the connection information includes the information indicating an abnormality in the connection portion; and determine that the connection portion is abnormal when the processor detects that a connection of the connection portion is disconnected without a predetermined authentication being performed. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the connection information includes an image including the connection portion captured by an in-vehicle camera provided in the vehicle. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the connection information includes information of the connection portion acquired by a thermography provided in the vehicle. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the connection information includes a detection value of a temperature sensor provided in the connection portion. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the processor determines that the connection portion is abnormal when the processor detects that the connection portion has a temperature equal to or higher than a predetermined temperature. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the processor: acquires target information representing a state of the power supply target; determines whether the target information includes information indicating an abnormality in the power supply target; and outputs information that issues a notification that the power supply target is abnormal when the processor determines that the target information includes the information indicating an abnormality in the power supply target. ### Claim 7 A vehicle comprising a processor configured to: acquire connection information representing a state of a connection region including a connection portion that connects the vehicle and a power supply target such that power is able to be supplied; determine whether the connection information includes information indicating an abnormality in the connection portion; output information that issues a notification that the connection portion is abnormal when the processor determines that the connection information includes the information indicating an abnormality in the connection portion; and determine that the connection portion is abnormal when a connection of the connection portion is disconnected without a predetermined authentication being performed. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The vehicle according to claim 7, comprising an in-vehicle camera that captures an image including the connection portion, wherein the connection information includes the image captured by the in-vehicle camera. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The vehicle according to claim 7, comprising a thermography that acquires information of the connection portion, wherein the connection information includes the information acquired by the thermography. ### Claim 10 (depends on 7) The vehicle according to claim 7, comprising a temperature sensor provided in the connection portion, wherein the connection information includes a detection value of the temperature sensor. ### Claim 11 (depends on 7) The vehicle according to claim 7, wherein the processor determines that the connection portion is abnormal when the processor detects that the connection portion has a temperature equal to or higher than a predetermined temperature. ### Claim 12 (depends on 7) The vehicle according to claim 7, wherein the processor: acquires target information representing a state of the power supply target; determines whether the target information includes information indicating an abnormality in the power supply target; and outputs information that issues a notification that the power supply target is abnormal when the processor determines that the target information includes the information indicating an abnormality in the power supply target. ### Claim 13 A non-transitory storage medium that stores a program that causes a processor to execute: acquiring connection information representing a state of a connection region including a connection portion that connects a vehicle and a power supply target such that power is able to be supplied; determining whether the connection information includes information indicating an abnormality in the connection portion; outputting information that issues a notification that the connection portion is abnormal when the processor determines that the connection information includes the information indicating an abnormality in the connection portion; and determining that the connection portion is abnormal when a connection of the connection portion is disconnected without a predetermined authentication being performed. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The storage medium according to claim 13, wherein the connection information includes an image including the connection portion captured by an in-vehicle camera provided in the vehicle. ### Claim 15 (depends on 13) The storage medium according to claim 13, wherein the connection information includes information of the connection portion acquired by an in-vehicle thermography provided in the vehicle. ### Claim 16 (depends on 13) The storage medium according to claim 13, wherein the connection information includes a detection value of a temperature sensor provided in the connection portion. ### Claim 17 (depends on 13) The storage medium according to claim 13 that causes the processor to execute determining that the connection portion is abnormal when the processor detects that the connection portion has a temperature equal to or higher than a predetermined temperature.
