Abstract
To more appropriately determine the communication paths of a mesh network using battery-powered imaging devices. [Solution] An information processing device for determining a communication path for a system having a plurality of imaging devices, including at least one imaging device powered by a battery, includes: selection means for selecting one or more imaging devices from the plurality of imaging devices to be used as relays for relaying communications; and determination means for determining the communication path of a mesh network so that the one or more imaging devices selected by the selection means are used as relays. The selection means selects the one or more imaging devices to be used as relays based on information regarding the battery status and power consumption of each of the at least one imaging device in a first case in which each of the plurality of imaging devices is used as a relay.
