Claim 22:
23. An information processing device provided in a transport system including an unmanned aerial vehicle that transports an article into a predetermined transport destination area, comprising:
at least one memory configured to store program code; and
at least one processor configured to access the program code and operate as instructed by the program code, the program code including:
identifying code configured to cause at least one of the at least one processor to identify an attribute of a ground on the basis of sensing data obtained by sensing the ground in the predetermined transport destination area which is performed in flight by: the unmanned aerial vehicle that transports the article or another unmanned aerial vehicle that senses the ground;
acquiring code configured to cause at least one of the at least one processor to acquire type information indicating a type of the article;
first determining code configured to cause at least one of the at least one processor to determine, on the basis of the attribute of the ground and the acquired type information, whether all or part of a region of the ground has an attribute having, among at least a first appropriateness level indicating that all or part of the region of the ground is fit for the type of article and a second appropriateness level indicating that all or part of the region of the ground is unfit for the type of article, the first appropriateness level for the type of the article;
second determining code configured to cause at least one of the at least one processor to determine, on the basis of determining that the all or the part of the region of the ground has an attribute having the first appropriateness level, the all or the part of the region of the ground as an arrangement place of the article;
transmitting code configured to cause at least one of the at least one processor to transmit instruction information for arranging the article at the determined arrangement place to the unmanned aerial vehicle in flight by radio communication; and
flight control code configured to cause at least one of the at least one processor to perform flight control of the unmanned aerial vehicle that transports the article according to the determined arrangement place by transmitting the instruction information.
