A mobile unit control unit causes a communication unit to transmit user setting information supplied from an input unit and control data for controlling a mobile unit. A display control unit generates display data corresponding to the human flow data in a human flow data DB, and outputs the generated display data to a display unit. The communication unit transmits control data, measurement area information, and landing area information to the mobile unit, and receives human flow data from the mobile unit and supplies the human flow data to a control unit. The input unit sets setting information relating to human flow data measurement, in response to a user operation. The display unit performs display corresponding to the display data generated by the display control unit. The present disclosure can be applied to a human flow measurement system including a mobile unit and a terminal, for example.
