In-vehicle device, information processing device, information processing system, control method for in-vehicle device, information processing method, and recording medium

An information processing device comprising:

• a receiving unit configured to receive first location information from an in-vehicle device that is utilized by a first user and that is connected to an image pickup device;
• a visit history acquisition unit configured to acquire visit history information of a second user based on preference information of the first user indicating a preference of the first user;
• a location information acquisition unit configured to acquire second location information about a visited place included in the visit history information;
• and
• a transmission unit configured to transmit the second location information to the in-vehicle device.

An information processing system comprising:

• an in-vehicle device that is connected to an image pickup device and that is utilized by a first user;
• and
• an information processing device communicable with the in-vehicle device via a network, wherein:
• the in-vehicle device includes
• a location information transmission unit configured to transmit first location information indicating a location of the in-vehicle device to the information processing device,
• a visit history receiving unit configured to receive visit history information of a second user, the visit history information being acquired by the information processing device, and
• an image pickup control unit configured to cause the image pickup device to acquire an image based on a result of comparison between a first location indicated by the first location information and a second location indicated by second location information about a visited place included in the visit history information;
• and
• the information processing device includes
• a receiving unit configured to receive the first location information from the in-vehicle device,
• a visit history acquisition unit configured to acquire the visit history information of the second user based on preference information of the first user indicating a preference of the first user,
• a location information acquisition unit configured to acquire the second location information, and
• a transmission unit configured to transmit the second location information to the in-vehicle device.

A control method for an in-vehicle device that is connected to an image pickup device and that is utilized by a first user, the control method comprising:

• transmitting, by a computer included in the in-vehicle device, first location information indicating a current location of the in-vehicle device to an information processing device;
• receiving, by the computer, visit history information of a second user, the visit history information being acquired by the information processing device based on preference information of the first user indicating a preference of the first user;
• and
• causing the image pickup device, by the computer, to acquire an image based on a result of comparison between a second location indicated by second location information about a visited place included in the visit history information and a first location indicated by the first location information.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium on which a program is recorded, the program being a control program for an in-vehicle device that is connected to an image pickup device and that is utilized by a first user, the program causing a computer included in the in-vehicle device to execute instructions for:

• transmitting first location information indicating a current location of the in-vehicle device to an information processing device;
• receiving visit history information of a second user, the visit history information being acquired by the information processing device based on preference information of the first user indicating a preference of the first user;
• and
• causing the image pickup device to acquire an image based on a result of comparison between a second location indicated by second location information about a visited place included in the visit history information and a first location indicated by the first location information.

An information processing method comprising:

• receiving, by an information processing device, first location information from an in-vehicle device that is utilized by a first user and that is connected to an image pickup device;
• acquiring, by the information processing device, visit history information of a second user based on preference information of the first user indicating a preference of the first user;
• acquiring, by the information processing device, second location information about a visited place included in the visit history information;
• and
• transmitting, by the information processing device, the second location information to the in-vehicle device.

An information processing method comprising:

• comparing a current location of a host vehicle with visit history information of a user of another vehicle, the user of the another vehicle having a preference similar or common to preference information of a user of the host vehicle;
• capturing an image of a visited place included in the visit history information of the another vehicle and located near the current location of the host vehicle;
• and
• recording the image.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium on which a program is recorded, the program causing an information processing device to execute instructions for:

• receiving first location information from an in-vehicle device that is utilized by a first user and that is connected to an image pickup device;
• acquiring visit history information of a second user based on preference information of the first user indicating a preference of the first user;
• acquiring second location information about a visited place included in the visit history information;
• and
• transmitting the second location information to the in-vehicle device.
