Abstract: Outward leg instructing unit provides a first instruction for causing drone to acquire examination data of a facility while flying in the vicinity of the facility. Position information acquiring unit acquires position information of a place of focus specified based on the examination data acquired in accordance with the first instruction. Return leg instructing unit provides, as a second instruction, an instruction for causing drone to acquire a greater amount of examination data than that acquired in accordance with the first instruction with regard to the place of focus indicated by the acquired position information, while flying so as to return on a path flown due to the first instruction. Return leg instructing unit provides as the second instruction an instruction to acquire examination data including image data of a greater number of shots, as compared with shooting performed in accordance with the first instruction.

Abstract: Time slot specifying unit reads out facility information of a facility to be inspected (specifically, a base station ID of a base station whose previous inspection day is included in a past predetermined period) from facility information storage unit. Daytime information acquiring unit acquires daytime information at positions at which base stations to be inspected are installed. Time slot specifying unit specifies non-backlight time slots based on the read-out facility information and the acquired daytime information. Operation plan generating unit generates an operation plan of drone in which facilities are shot in the specified non-backlight time slots. Operation plan outputting unit outputs the generated operation plan.
