correspondence relationship between an attribute of an operator who operates a remote operation target and an attribute of a company, a disclosure range of an image related to work to be performed by the remote operation target to the operator. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An information concealing method comprising: determining, according to a correspondence relationship between an attribute of an operator who operates a remote operation target and an attribute of a company, a disclosure range to the operator, the disclosure range of an image related to work to be performed by the remote operation target. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The information concealing method according to claim 1, wherein the correspondence relationship is an employment relationship between the operator and the company. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The information concealing method according to claim 1, wherein in determining the disclosure range, the operator is evaluated based on the attribute of the operator to determine a disclosure level of the operator, and the disclosure range is determined based on the determined disclosure level. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The information concealing method according to claim 1, wherein the attribute of the operator is an attribute based on profile information on the operator. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The information concealing method according to claim 4, wherein the profile information includes work evaluation result information related to an evaluation result of work performed by an operation of the operator. ### Claim 6 (depends on 4) The information concealing method according to claim 4, wherein the profile information includes history information related to a learning history related to a learning history of the operator or an evaluation history of work performed by an operation of the operator. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The information concealing method according to claim 1, wherein the attribute of the operator is an attribute based on work history information related to a history of work performed by an operation of the operator. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The information concealing method according to claim 7, wherein the work history information includes job history information related to a job history of the operator. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The information concealing method according to claim 7, wherein the work history information includes work environment history information related to a work environment history of the operator. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The information concealing method according to claim 1, wherein the attribute of the operator is an attribute based on work environment information related to a work environment in which the operator performs work. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The information concealing method according to claim 10, wherein the work environment information includes communication monitoring information related to a communication status of the work environment. ### Claim 12 (depends on 10) The information concealing method according to claim 10, wherein the work environment information includes access source monitoring information related to a condition of the work environment. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The information concealing method according to claim 1, wherein the image includes an overhead image related to the work. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The information concealing method according to claim 13, wherein the image includes an overhead image for each of the work. ### Claim 15 (depends on 1) The information concealing method according to claim 1, wherein the image includes a nearby image related to the work. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The information concealing method according to claim 15, wherein the image includes a nearby image for each of the work. ### Claim 17 (depends on 1) The information concealing method according to claim 1, wherein in determining the disclosure range, a desired object is recognized from the image by image recognition processing to determine a disclosure range of the recognized desired object to the operator. ### Claim 18 (depends on 1) The information concealing method according to claim 1, further comprising performing processing of converting a portion of the image other than the disclosure range into another object on a digital twin. ### Claim 19 (depends on 1) The information concealing method according to claim 1, further comprising performing processing of reproducing only a portion of the image in the disclosure range on a digital twin. ### Claim 20 An information processing device comprising: a disclosure range determination unit configured to determine, according to a correspondence relationship between an attribute of an operator who operates a remote operation target and an attribute of a company, a disclosure range to the operator, the disclosure range of an image related to work to be performed by the remote operation target. ### Claim 21 An information processing system comprising: an imaging unit configured to acquire an image related to work to be performed by a remote operation target; a disclosure range determination unit configured to determine, according to a correspondence relationship between an attribute of an operator who operates the remote operation target and an attribute of a company, a disclosure range of the image to the operator; and a display unit configured to display the image based on the disclosure range.
