Information Processing Apparatus, Information Processing Method and Non-Transitory Computer-Readable Storage Medium

An information processing method causing a computer to execute processing of:

• acquiring observation information obtained through observation of a target region on the earth from a flying object moving in outer space;
• outputting to a terminal device a map image corresponding to the target region on which a dividing line for dividing the target region into a plurality of areas is superimposed;
• accepting designation input for designating multiple ones of the plurality of areas divided by the dividing line from the terminal device;
• extracting area observation information being a part of the observation information and corresponding to each of the multiple ones of the plurality of areas designated;
• and
• outputting to the terminal device the area observation information extracted.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program that causes a computer to execute processing of:

• displaying on a display unit a map image corresponding to a target region observed by a flying object moving in outer space, the map image including a dividing line for dividing the target region into a plurality of areas that is superimposed on the map image;
• accepting designation input for designating multiple ones of the plurality of areas divided by the dividing line from a user;
• acquiring area observation information, that is a part of observation information obtained by the flying object observing the target region and corresponds to each of the multiple ones of the plurality of areas designated, from a management device for managing the observation information;
• switching the map image and displaying a switched map image on which the area observation information is superimposed to each of the multiple ones of the plurality of areas;
• and
• outputting to the management device a use request for the area observation information superimposed on the switched map image in response to operation input from the user.
