An identification unit identifies a wind condition and the state of flight of an aerial vehicle on the basis of the information acquired by the acquisition unit. More specifically, the identification unit identifies the wind direction and the wind speed, which indicate the wind condition, and the position, the flight direction, and the flight speed of the aerial vehicle, which indicate the state of flight of the aerial vehicle. The estimation unit estimates a landing area where the aerial vehicle is likely to land according to the wind condition and the state of flight of the aerial vehicle which have been identified. ## Claims ### Claim at position 1 1-9. (canceled) ### Claim 10 An information processing apparatus comprising an identification unit that identifies a wind condition in a flight airspace of an aerial vehicle; and an estimation unit that estimates a landing area where the aerial vehicle is likely to land according to the identified wind condition. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The information processing apparatus according to claim 10, wherein the estimation unit estimates the landing area according to a flying state of the aerial vehicle at the time of landing. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The information processing apparatus according to claim 11, wherein the estimation unit estimates the landing area according to a relationship between a wind direction and a wind speed of the wind identified as the wind condition and a flight direction and a flight speed of the aerial vehicle at the time of landing. ### Claim 13 (depends on 10) The information processing apparatus according claim 10, wherein the estimation unit estimates the landing area according to a structure of the aerial vehicle related to flight. ### Claim 14 (depends on 10) The information processing apparatus according to claim 10, wherein the estimation unit estimates the landing area according to wind countering performance of the aerial vehicle. ### Claim 15 (depends on 10) The information processing apparatus according to claim 10, wherein the estimation unit estimates the landing area according to the weight of the aerial vehicle or the weight of a load of the aerial vehicle. ### Claim 16 (depends on 10) The information processing apparatus according to claim 10, wherein the estimation unit estimates the landing area according to the technique of piloting the aerial vehicle. ### Claim 17 (depends on 10) The information processing apparatus according to claim 10, wherein the estimation unit estimates the landing area according to a condition of a road surface onto which the aerial vehicle lands. ### Claim 18 (depends on 10) The information processing apparatus according to claim 10, wherein the estimation unit estimates the landing area according to the state of a missing radio signal for controlling the aerial vehicle.
