Abstract
We provide search support devices that enable efficient utilization of search and rescue collaborators. [Solution] A search support device according to one embodiment of the present invention, which assists in the search for a person holding a transmitter, comprises: a notification information acquisition unit that acquires notification information generated based on predetermined conditions being met in response to a signal from a transmitter detected by a first detector installed in the space where the person is staying; a search range setting unit that sets the search range for the person based on the notification information, the estimated movement speed of the person, and the location of the space where the person is staying; and a provision unit that provides information regarding the search range to a collaborator terminal held by a collaborator who is cooperating in the search for the person. The search range setting unit updates the search range in response to a signal from a transmitter held by the person being detected by a second detector different from the first detector, and the provision unit provides the updated information regarding the search range to the collaborator terminal.
