Processing device, processing method, and program

A processing method that is performed by a processing device, the processing method comprising:

• acquiring, by a remote-controllable device position information acquisition unit included in the processing device, information on a position of a remote-controllable device;
• acquiring, by a relative positional relationship information acquisition unit included in the processing device, information on a relative positional relationship between a terminal device having a function of transmitting instructions to request control regarding the remote-controllable device via another device having a communication function not included in either the processing device or the remote-controllable device by communicating with the other device, and the remote-controllable device;
• determining, by a determination unit included in the processing device, whether or not a condition regarding the position of the remote-controllable device and a condition regarding the relative positional relationship have been satisfied on the basis of the information acquired by the remote-controllable device position information acquisition unit and the information acquired by the relative positional relationship information acquisition unit, and determining whether or not to permit the terminal device to perform the control regarding the remote-controllable device according to a result of the determination;
• and
• performing, by a control unit included in the processing device, control based on whether or not permit the terminal device to perform the control regarding the remote-controllable device on the basis of a result of the determination of the determination unit.

A non-transitory computer readable medium that stores a computer program, when executed by a computer, for causing the computer to execute:

• acquiring information on a position of a remote-controllable device;
• acquiring information on a relative positional relationship between a terminal device having a function of transmitting instructions to request control regarding the remote-controllable device via another device having a communication function not included in either the processing device or the remote-controllable device by communicating with the other device, and the remote-controllable device;
• determining whether or not a condition regarding the position of the remote-controllable device and a condition regarding the relative positional relationship have been satisfied on the basis of the acquired information on the position of the remote-controllable device and the acquired information on the relative positional relationship between the terminal device and the remote-controllable device, and determining whether or not to permit the terminal device to perform the control regarding the remote-controllable device according to a result of the determination;
• and
• performing control based on whether or not permit the terminal device to perform the control regarding the remote-controllable device on the basis of a result of the determination.
