The magnetic memory is, for example, HDD. "HDD" is an abbreviation for hard disk drive. The storage unit 12 functions as, for example, a main storage device, an auxiliary storage device, or a cache memory. Data for the operation of the information processing device 10 and data obtained by the operation of the information processing device 10 are stored in the storage unit 12. In the present embodiment, at least delivery data is stored in the storage unit 12.

[0031] The communication unit 13 includes at least one communication module. The communication module is, for example, a module corresponding to a wired LAN communication standard such as Ethernet (registered trademark), a wireless LAN communication standard such as IEEE802.11, or a mobile communication standard such as LTE, 4G standard, or 5G standard. "IEEE" is the abbreviation of Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. "LTE" is an abbreviation for Long Term Evolution. "4G" is an abbreviation for 4th generation. "5G" is an abbreviation for 5th generation. The communication unit 13 communicates with the delivery vehicle 30 via the network 40. The communication unit 13 receives data for the operation of the information processing device 10 and, in addition, transmits data obtained by the operation of the information processing device 10.

[0032] The functions of the information processing apparatus 10 are implemented by a processor, which is the control unit 11, executing the program of the present embodiment. That is, the functions of the information processing apparatus 10 are implemented by software. The program causes a computer to function as the information processing apparatus 10 by causing the computer to execute the operations of the information processing apparatus 10. That is, the computer functions as the information processing apparatus 10 by executing the operations of the information processing apparatus 10 in accordance with the program.

[0033] The program may be pre-stored in a non-transitory computer-readable medium. The non-transitory computer-readable medium is, for example, a flash memory, a magnetic recording device, an optical disc, a magneto-optical recording medium, or a ROM.

[0034] The computer temporarily stores, for example, the program stored in the portable medium or the program transmitted from the server in the main storage device. Then, the computer reads the program stored in the main storage device by the processor and executes the processing in accordance with the read program by the processor. The computer may also directly read the program from the portable medium and execute the processing in accordance with the program. Alternatively, each time the program is transmitted from the server to the computer, the computer sequentially executes the processing in accordance with the received program. The processing may also be executed by a so-called ASP type service, in which the ASP type service does not perform the transmission of the program from the server to the computer but realizes the function only by execution instructions and result acquisition. "ASP" is an abbreviation for application service provider. The program includes information for processing to be executed by an electronic computer, and this information corresponds to the program. For example, data that is not a direct instruction for the computer but has the nature of prescribing the processing of the computer conforms to "information equivalent to the program".

[0035] Part or all of the functions of the information processing apparatus 10 may also be implemented by a programmable circuit or a dedicated circuit that is the control unit 11. That is, part or all of the functions of the information processing apparatus 10 may also be implemented by hardware.

[0036] Refer to Figure 3The operation of the information processing apparatus 10 of the present embodiment will be described. The operations described below correspond to the method of the present embodiment. That is, the method of the present embodiment includes Figure 3 the steps S101 to S110 shown in

[0037] In the present embodiment, when the delivery vehicle 30 departs from the nearest branch to the delivery destination, S101 is started.

[0038] In S101, the control unit 11 of the information processing apparatus 10 acquires position data indicating the position of the delivery vehicle 30. Specifically, the delivery vehicle 30 measures its position through a GPS receiver mounted on the delivery vehicle 30. "GPS" is an abbreviation for Global Positioning System. The delivery vehicle 30 transmits the data indicating the measured position as position data to the information processing apparatus 10. The control unit 11 receives the transmitted position data via the communication unit 13.

[0039] In S102, the control unit 11 of the information processing apparatus 10 calculates the distance from the position indicated by the position data acquired in S101 to the delivery destination. For example, the control unit 11 calculates the distance from the position indicated by the position data to the home of the user 21.

[0040] In S103, the control unit 11 of the information processing apparatus 10 calculates a predicted time based on the distance calculated in S102. The predicted time is the predicted time until the delivery vehicle 30 reaches the delivery destination. For example, the control unit 11 calculates the predicted time until the delivery vehicle 30 reaches the home of the user 21 considering the distance calculated in S102, the order of the delivered goods, the road conditions, the climate, or the time period.

[0041] In S104, the control unit 11 of the information processing apparatus 10 transmits predicted time data indicating the predicted time calculated in S103 to the terminal device 20 via the communication unit 13. The terminal device 20 receives the transmitted predicted time data. The terminal device 20 displays the predicted time indicated by the received predicted time data on the display. For example, when the predicted time is 15 minutes, the terminal device 20 displays a message such as "The goods will be delivered in about the next 15 minutes" on the screen of the display. Alternatively, the terminal device 20 may also display a light-hearted message such as "The goods may be delivered in about 15 minutes meow" in the form of an illustration with a cat on the screen.

[0042] In S105, the control unit 11 of the information processing device 10 transmits the position data acquired in S101 to the terminal device 20 via the communication unit 13. The terminal device 20 receives the transmitted position data. The terminal device 20 displays the position indicated by the received position data on the display. For example, the terminal device 20 displays a map around the position of the delivery vehicle 30 on the screen of the display, and displays an icon of a truck at the position of the delivery vehicle 30 on the map.

[0043] In S106, the control unit 11 of the information processing device 10 determines whether the predicted time calculated in S103 is less than the threshold time. If the predicted time is less than the threshold time, the control unit 11 performs the process of S107. If the predicted time is greater than or equal to the threshold time, the control unit 11 performs the process of S101. The threshold time is, for example, 15 minutes. If the predicted time is less than 15 minutes, the control unit 11 performs the process of S107. If the predicted time is greater than or equal to 15 minutes, the control unit 11 performs the process of S101. The process of S101 is performed after a specified time has elapsed after the determination in S106. The specified time may also vary according to the predicted time. For example, if the predicted time is greater than or equal to 60 minutes, the control unit 11 performs the process of S101 after 30 minutes have elapsed after the determination in S106. If the predicted time is less than 60 minutes and greater than or equal to 30 minutes, the control unit 11 performs the process of S101 after 10 minutes have elapsed after the determination in S106. If the predicted time is less than 30 minutes and greater than or equal to 15 minutes, the control unit 11 performs the process of S101 after 5 minutes have elapsed after the determination in S106. If the predicted time is less than 15 minutes, the control unit 11 performs the process of S107.

[0044] In S107, the control unit 11 of the information processing device 10 enables the reception of a report from the terminal device 20 to the effect that delivery is temporarily not possible. Specifically, the control unit 11 notifies the terminal device 20 to the following effect: it is possible to receive a report to the effect that delivery is temporarily not possible. The terminal device 20 displays on the display the fact that the information processing device 10 can receive a report. For example, the terminal device 20 displays a message such as "Please press the button when leaving" or "Please press the button if you wish to have it delivered to the door" on the screen of the display. In addition, the terminal device 20 displays buttons such as "Leaving in 5 minutes", "Leaving in 10 minutes" or "Wish to have it delivered to the door" on the screen. The user 21 presses the button when delivery is temporarily not possible due to a short-term matter.

[0045] In S108, the control unit 11 of the information processing device 10 determines whether a report from the terminal device 20 has been received. Specifically, when the user 21 presses a button, the terminal device 20 sends a report to the effect that the button has been pressed to the information processing device 10. The control unit 11 receives the report via the communication unit 13. When the report is received, the control unit 11 proceeds to the process of S109. When a predetermined time has elapsed since the reception of reports was enabled in S107 and no report has been received, the control unit 11 proceeds to the process of S101. The predetermined time is, for example, 5 minutes. When 5 minutes have elapsed since the reception of reports was enabled in S107, the control unit 11 proceeds to the process of S101.

[0046] In S109, the control unit 11 of the information processing device 10 updates the delivery data stored in the storage unit 12. The method of updating the delivery data may also vary according to the content of the report received in S108. For example, when the control unit 11 receives a report to the effect that a button has been pressed reading "leave in 5 minutes", the control unit 11 reverses the order of the delivery destination of the user 21 and the second delivery destination. When the control unit 11 receives a report to the effect that a button has been pressed reading "leave in 10 minutes", the control unit 11 moves the order of the delivery destination of the user 21 back by three positions. When the control unit 11 receives a report to the effect that a button has been pressed reading "wish to be delivered to the door", the control unit 11 changes the delivery method of the user 21 to "door delivery".

[0047] In S110, the control unit 11 of the information processing device 10 outputs a notification. Specifically, the control unit 11 sends update data indicating the content updated in S109 to the delivery vehicle 30 via the communication unit 13. The delivery vehicle 30 receives the update data. The delivery vehicle 30 outputs the content indicated by the update data as a notification. For example, when the delivery destination of the user 21 has changed, the delivery vehicle 30 displays a message reading "the delivery destination has changed" and the changed delivery destination on the screen of the display of the navigation system mounted on the delivery vehicle 30. When the delivery method of the user 21 has changed, the delivery vehicle 30 displays a message reading "has been changed to door delivery" on the screen of the navigation system. The delivery vehicle 30 may also output these messages as voice from the speaker built into the delivery vehicle 30. The delivery vehicle 30 is driven by the driver in a manner corresponding to such a notification and the changed delivery destination or delivery method.

[0048] After S110, Figure 3 the process shown ends. In addition, regardless of which Figure 3 process is being carried out, when the delivery to the user 21 is completed, Figure 3 the process shown ends.

[0049] In one example, the above processing procedure can be executed when providing a service (MaaS) using the delivery vehicle 30. In this case, the information processing method based on the above processing procedure is an example of a method for providing a service (MaaS) using the delivery vehicle 30.

[0050] As described above, in the present embodiment, the control unit 11 of the information processing device 10 acquires position data indicating the position of the delivery vehicle 30. The control unit 11 of the information processing device 10 calculates the distance from the position indicated by the acquired position data to the delivery destination. The control unit 11 of the information processing device 10 calculates a predicted time based on the calculated distance, and the predicted time is the predicted time until the delivery vehicle 30 arrives at the delivery destination. When the calculated predicted time is less than the threshold time, the control unit 11 of the information processing device 10 enables the reception of a report from the terminal device 20 indicating that the user is temporarily unable to receive the package.

[0051] According to the present embodiment, the fact that the user 21 is temporarily unable to receive the package can be conveyed to the delivery vehicle 30.

[0052] As a modification example of the present embodiment, it may also be that when the second predicted time recalculated in S103 is different from the time obtained by simply subtracting the elapsed time from the already calculated predicted time, the control unit 11 of the information processing apparatus 10 notifies the terminal device 20 of this fact. The second predicted time is the predicted time recalculated in S103 when the process returns to S101 after calculating the predicted time in S103. Specifically, the second predicted time recalculated in S103 may sometimes be different from the predicted time - elapsed time represented by the predicted time data transmitted in S104. In this case, the control unit 11 transmits, via the communication unit 13, a notification to the effect that the predicted time has changed together with second predicted time data representing the second predicted time to the terminal device 20. The terminal device 20 receives the second predicted time data and the notification. The terminal device 20 displays the second predicted time represented by the received second predicted time data and the notification on the display. For example, there is a case where the predicted time calculated in S103 is 10 minutes, the predicted time data is transmitted to the terminal device 20 in S104, and then 5 minutes elapse while no report from the terminal device 20 is received in S108. In this case, the control unit 11 returns to S101 and calculates the second predicted time in S103. The predicted time - elapsed time represented by the predicted time data transmitted in S104 is 10 minutes - 5 minutes = 5 minutes. When the second predicted time is calculated as 15 minutes due to congestion on the road traveled by the delivery vehicle 30, the control unit 11 transmits a notification to the effect that the predicted time has changed together with second predicted time data representing 15 minutes as the second predicted time to the terminal device 20. The terminal device 20 displays a message such as "The predicted time is extended by 10 minutes" on the screen of the display.

[0053] As another modification example of the present embodiment, S104 may be omitted. In this case, after calculating the predicted time in S103, the control unit 11 does not transmit the predicted time data but transmits the position data in S105. The terminal device 20 receives the position data. The terminal device 20 displays the position represented by the received position data on the display.

[0054] As still another modification example of the present embodiment, S105 may be omitted. In this case, after calculating the predicted time in S103, the control unit 11 transmits the predicted time data in S104 but does not transmit the position data. The terminal device 20 receives the predicted time data. The terminal device 20 displays the predicted time represented by the received predicted time data on the display.

[0055] As another modification example of the present embodiment, S104 and S105 may also be omitted. In this case, after calculating the prediction time in S103, the control unit 11 does not transmit the prediction time data and the position data, but determines whether the prediction time is less than the threshold time in S106.

[0056] Refer to Figure 4 A first modification example of the operation of the information processing apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment will be described. Among them, the steps of S201 to S203 and S205 to S211 are the same as those of Figure 3 the steps of S101 to S103 and S104 to S110 shown, respectively, and thus the description thereof is omitted.

[0057] In S204, the control unit 11 of the information processing apparatus 10 determines whether the distance calculated in S202 is less than the threshold distance. When this distance is less than the threshold distance, the control unit 11 performs the process of S205. When this distance is greater than or equal to the threshold distance, the control unit 11 performs the process of S201. That is, when the distance calculated in S202 is less than the threshold distance, the control unit 11 transmits the prediction time data in S205. The threshold distance is, for example, 2 km. When the distance is less than 2 km, the control unit 11 performs the process of S205. When the distance is greater than or equal to 2 km, the control unit 11 performs the process of S201. The process of S201 is performed after a predetermined time has elapsed after the determination in S204. The predetermined time may also vary according to the distance. For example, when the distance is greater than or equal to 5 km, the control unit 11 performs the process of S201 after 30 minutes have elapsed after the determination in S204. When the distance is less than 5 km and greater than or equal to 3 km, the control unit 11 performs the process of S201 after 10 minutes have elapsed after the determination in S204. When the distance is less than 3 km and greater than or equal to 2 km, the control unit 11 performs the process of S201 after 5 minutes have elapsed after the determination in S204. When the distance is less than 2 km, the control unit 11 performs the process of S205. The predetermined time may also vary according to the prediction time calculated in S203. An example of the change in the predetermined time based on the prediction time is the same as that in S106.

[0058] Refer to Figure 5 A second modification example of the operation of the information processing apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment will be described. Among them, the steps of S301 to S303 and S305 to S311 are the same as those of Figure 3 the steps of S101 to S103 and S104 to S110 shown, respectively, and thus the description thereof is omitted.

[0059] In S304, the control unit 11 of the information processing apparatus 10 refers to the delivery data to determine whether the delivery destination of the user 21 is the head of the sequence. If the delivery destination is the head, the control unit 11 performs the process of S305. If the delivery destination is not the head, the control unit 11 performs the process of S301. Thus, the predicted time is notified only to the user of the next delivery destination.
