Abstract
Recovery of a flying vehicle that has fallen to the ground is facilitated. A positioning unit measures a position of the flying vehicle during flight. A specification unit specifies a feature of a region on the ground corresponding to the measured position. A determination unit determines a sending interval of position information indicating the position of the flying vehicle, according to the specified feature. A sending unit sends the position information at the determined sending interval.
