A data processing device and method that detect a location and direction of a vehicle, recognize an action by an occupant of the vehicle in the form of pointing outside the vehicle, estimate a likely designated region indicated by the occupant that is based on the recognition results and the vehicle location, recognize a target object candidate from the designated region indicated by the occupant; and output information regarding the target object candidate. The size of the designated region is differentiated based on the relationship between the direction pointed at by the occupant and the direction of the vehicle.
