Abstract

An information processing system includes a server device, and an information processing device communicable with the server device. The information processing device is configured to acquire a plurality of images imaged by an imaging device included in a vehicle, and output to the server device, when detecting a change from a non-rainfall state to a rainfall state, or a change from the rainfall state to the non-rainfall state based on the acquired images, location information regarding the vehicle when the change is detected.

 determine a rain gear usage rate from the acquired plurality of images, 
 output, when a determination is made that the rain gear usage rate increases by a prescribed value within a prescribed time interval, a notification that indicates an increase in intensity of rainfall. 
 
   
     
     
         2 . The information processing system according to  claim 1 , wherein one of the information processing device and the server device is configured to
 detect, in the images, a number of persons and rain gear used by one or more persons in the detected number of persons, the rain gear usage rate being determined from a ratio of a number of rain gear users to the detected number of persons, and   determine that a non-rainfall state changes to a rainfall state when the rain gear usage rate reaches the prescribed value.   
     
     
         3 . The information processing system according to  claim 1 , wherein the server device is configured to:
 acquire location information of the vehicle from the information processing device,   map locations corresponding to the location information on a map, and   output the map after mapping.   
     
     
         4 . The information processing system according to  claim 1 , wherein the server device is configured to:
 acquire location information of the vehicle from the information processing device,   detect a past transition of an area having a rainfall, the area being specified based on the location information, and   predict, based on the past transition, an area where the change occurs within a prescribed future time.   
     
     
         5 . The information processing system according to  claim 4 , wherein the server device is configured to notify occurrence of the change within the prescribed future time to user terminals that are present in the area where the change is predicted to occur within the prescribed future time. 
     
     
         6 . The information processing system according to  claim 5 , wherein the server device is further configured to notify, to the user terminals that are present in the area where the change is predicted to occur within the prescribed future time, information on facilities that are present in a prescribed distance from the user terminals. 
     
     
         7 . The information processing system according to  claim 2 , wherein a location of the vehicle is correlated with a detection of a change from the non-rainfall state to the rainfall state or a change from the rainfall state to the non-rainfall state. 
     
     
         8 . A method of information processing executed in an information processing system, including a server device, and an information processing device communicable with the server device, the information processing device acquiring a plurality of images imaged by an imaging device included in a vehicle, the method comprising steps, executed by one of the information processing device or the server device, of:
 determining a rain gear usage rate from the acquired plurality of images; and   outputting, when a determination is made that the rain gear usage rate increases by a prescribed value within a prescribed time interval, a notification that indicates an increase in intensity of rainfall.   
     
     
         9 . The method according to  claim 8 , further comprising:
 detecting, in the images, a number of persons and rain gear used by one or more persons in the detected number of persons, the rain gear usage rate being determined from a ratio of a number of rain gear users to the detected number of persons, and   determining that a non-rainfall state changes to a rainfall state when the rain gear usage rate reaches the prescribed value.   
     
     
         10 . The method according to  claim 8 , further comprising the server device executing the steps of:
 acquiring location information of the vehicle from the information processing device;   mapping locations corresponding to the location information on a map; and   outputting the map after the mapping.   
     
     
         11 . The method according to  claim 8 , further comprising the server device executing the steps of:
 acquiring location information of the vehicle from the information processing device;   detecting a past transition of an area having a rainfall, the area being specified based on the location information; and   predict, based on the past transition, an area where the change occurs within a prescribed future time.   
     
     
         12 . The method according to  claim 11 , further comprising the server device executing the step of notifying occurrence of the change within the prescribed future time to user terminals that are present in the area where the change is predicted to occur within the prescribed future time. 
     
     
         13 . The method according to  claim 12 , further comprising the server device executing the step of notifying, to the user terminals that are present in the area where the change is predicted to occur within the prescribed future time, information on facilities that are present in a prescribed distance from the user terminals. 
     
     
         14 . The method according to  claim 9 , wherein a location of the vehicle is correlated with a detection of a change from the non-rainfall state to the rainfall state or a change from the rainfall state to the non-rainfall state. 
     
     
         15 . A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored therein, which when executed by a processor in one of an information processing device and a server device, the information processing device being communicable with the server device in an information processing system, the information processing device acquiring a plurality of images imaged by an imaging device included in a vehicle, causes the processor to execute the steps of:
 determining a rain gear usage rate from the acquired plurality of images; and   outputting, when a determination is made that the rain gear usage rate increases by a prescribed value within a prescribed time interval, a notification that indicates an increase in intensity of rainfall.
