Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0008] The embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0009] 1. Overview of the Flight Service System FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram for explaining the overview of a flight service system 1 according to the present embodiment. The flight service system 1 provides a flight service using an electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft (eVTOL) 10.

[0010] The eVTOL 10 is a small and lightweight VTOL driven by an electric motor. More specifically, the eVTOL 10 includes a rotor, a power unit, and a control unit. The power unit includes an electric motor that rotates the rotor, a battery that supplies power to the electric motor, and the like. The battery is, for example, a storage battery such as an all-solid-state battery. Alternatively, the battery may be a fuel cell. The control unit controls the flight of the eVTOL 10 by controlling the power unit. Such an eVTOL 10 has characteristics such as space saving, low cost, and low noise compared to a general aircraft. In addition, the eVTOL 10 can stop in the air or rotate on the spot. Therefore, the eVTOL 10 can create a new experience that cannot be experienced on a normal passenger aircraft.

[0011] The take-off and landing site 20 is a place where the eVTOL 10 takes off or lands. The take-off and landing site 20 may include a charging facility, a battery replacement facility, a maintenance facility, and the like. Examples of the take-off and landing site 20 include an airport, an airfield, a heliport, a rooftop of a building, an eVTOL storage facility, and the like. As another example, the take-off and landing site 20 may be an automobile dealer. By using the dealer as the take-off and landing site 20, it is possible to seamlessly connect the ground mobility service using an automobile and the flight service using the eVTOL 10. In addition, it is possible to provide both mobility services in one stop.

[0012] In FIG. 1, the takeoff and landing site 20-1 is the departure place, and the takeoff and landing site 20-2 is the destination. The user U of the flight service boards the eVTOL 10 at the takeoff and landing site 20-1. The eVTOL 10 carrying the user U takes off from the takeoff and landing site 20-1, flies toward the takeoff and landing site 20-2, and lands at the takeoff and landing site 20-2. The user U gets off the eVTOL 10 that has landed at the takeoff and landing site 20-2.

[0013] The user terminal 30 is the terminal used by the user U. Examples of the user terminal 30 include smartphones, tablets, PCs, etc.

[0014] The management system 100 manages the entire flight service. For example, the management system 100 manages the eVTOL 10, manages the takeoff and landing sites 20, accepts flight reservations from the user U, determines the itinerary (flight route and flight schedule) for the user U, etc. The management system 100 can communicate with the eVTOL 10, the terminals installed at the takeoff and landing sites 20, and the user terminal 30. Typically, the management system 100 performs wireless communication. The management system 100 may be composed of a single management server or may be composed of a plurality of management servers that perform distributed processing.

[0015] As described above, the eVTOL 10 can stop in the air or rotate in place. Therefore, the eVTOL 10 can create a new experience that cannot be experienced on a normal airliner. For example, the eVTOL 10 may stop at a spot where beautiful scenery can be seen during the flight from the takeoff and landing site 20-1 (departure place) to the takeoff and landing site 20-2 (destination). The user U on board the eVTOL 10 can enjoy the beautiful scenery from the spot at a preferred angle.

[0016] 2. Photography Service 2-1. Overview According to this embodiment, a "photography service" is provided as part of the flight service using the eVTOL 10. The photography service is a service that takes pictures of the eVTOL 10 on which the user U is boarding from the outside during flight. The taken photos or videos are provided to the user U.

[0017] FIG. 2 is a conceptual diagram for explaining the outline of the photography service. The first user U-1 is the user U who desires the photography service. The first eVTOL 10-1 is the eVTOL 10 on which the first user U-1 boards. For example, the first eVTOL 10-1 flies from the takeoff and landing site 20-A (departure point) to the takeoff and landing site 20-B (destination). The first user terminal 30-1 is the user terminal 30 of the first user U-1.

[0018] The second eVTOL 10-2 is the eVTOL 10 that takes pictures of the first eVTOL 10-1 from the outside during flight. The second eVTOL 10-2 is equipped with a camera C capable of taking pictures of the outside. In the example shown in FIG. 2, the departure point of the second eVTOL 10-2 is the takeoff and landing site 20-B, but it is not limited thereto. The departure point of the second eVTOL 10-2 is arbitrary.

[0019] The second user U-2 may board the second eVTOL 10-2. That is, the second eVTOL 10-2 may take pictures of the first eVTOL 10-1 while transporting the second user U-2 to the destination. In this case, both the transportation of the second user U-2 and the photography of the first eVTOL 10-1 are achieved in one flight, which is efficient. The second user terminal 30-2 is the user terminal 30 of the second user U-2.

[0020] During flight, the second eVTOL 10-2 photographs the first eVTOL 10-1 in flight. As will be described later, the shooting spot is set according to the wishes of the first user U-1. For example, the shooting spot is a position or area where the scenery (e.g., mountains) desired by the first user U-1 appears in the background. At that shooting spot, the second eVTOL 10-2 photographs the first eVTOL 10-1 in which the first user U-1 is boarding. The first eVTOL 10-1 in flight and the second eVTOL 10-2 in flight may communicate with each other, share their positions, and finely adjust the shooting position and timing.

[0021] The second eVTOL 10-2 transmits the photographed photo / video to, for example, the management system 100. The management system 100 transmits the received photo / video to the first user terminal 30-1 of the first user U-1. The first user U-1 can obtain a photo / video in which the first eVTOL 10-1 in which he / she is boarding is shown.

[0022] As another example, the second eVTOL 10-2 may communicate with the first eVTOL 10-1 immediately after photographing the first eVTOL 10-1 and transmit the photographed photo / video to the first eVTOL 10-1. The first eVTOL 10-1 provides the received photo / video to the first user terminal 30-1 of the first user U-1 on board. The first user U-1 can obtain a photo / video in which the first eVTOL 10-1 in which he / she is boarding is shown in near real-time.

[0023] The second eVTOL 10-2 may photograph the first eVTOL 10-1 while the first eVTOL 10-1 photographs the second eVTOL 10-2. The photo / video in which the second evTOL 10-2 is shown is provided to the second user U-2.

[0024] Thus, according to this embodiment, the user U of the flight service can obtain a photo / video in which the eVTOL 10 on which the user is boarding is reflected. As a result, the satisfaction of the user U with the flight service is improved. As a result, it is expected that the opportunity to use the flight service using the eVTOL 10 will increase.

[0025] 2-2. Processing related to the shooting service FIG. 3 is a conceptual diagram for explaining the processing related to the shooting service. The management system 100 holds eVTOL management information 110 for managing a plurality of eVTOLs 10. For example, the eVTOL management information 110 includes the airframe ID, position information, performance information, state information, schedule information, etc. of each of the plurality of eVTOLs 10. The schedule information indicates the flight schedule of each eVTOL 10. The flight schedule includes the departure location, destination, departure time, arrival time, flight route, etc.

[0026] The first user U-1 starts a flight service application on the first user terminal 30-1. The first user U-1 makes a reservation for the flight service through the flight service application. In response to the flight service request from the first user U-1, the management system 100 selects the first eVTOL 10-1 and creates a flight schedule for the first eVTOL 10-1. The flight schedule of the first eVTOL 10-1 is reflected in the eVTOL management information 110.

[0027] The first user U-1 can desire the shooting service as an option. The first user U-1 who desires the shooting service inputs the necessary information using the flight service application.

[0028] The first user terminal 30-1 (flight service application) or the management system 100 generates shooting desire information 150 based on the information input by the first user U-1. The shooting desire information 150 is information indicating the shooting content desired by the first user U-1.

[0029] The shooting request information 150 includes at least a shooting spot. The shooting spot is a position or area where the shooting of the first eVTOL 10-1 is performed, and is set according to the wishes of the first user U-1. Typically, the first user U-1 designates the shooting spot. The shooting request information 150 may further include a shooting direction. For example, the first user U-1 designates a shooting spot and a shooting direction such that a desired view (e.g., a mountain) is reflected in the background. Alternatively, if the first user U-1 designates a desired view, the flight service application or the management system 100 may automatically calculate a shooting spot and a shooting direction such that the view is reflected in the background. In any case, the shooting spot and the shooting direction are set according to the wishes of the first user U-1.

[0030] The shooting request information 150 may further include a shooting date and time. The shooting date and time is the date and time when the shooting of the first eVTOL 10-1 is performed. For example, the shooting date and time is the date and time when the first eVTOL 10-1 carrying the first user U-1 is scheduled to pass through the above shooting spot. The date and time when the first eVTOL 10-1 passes through the above shooting spot can be calculated from the flight schedule of the first eVTOL 10-1 included in the eVTOL management information 110. As another example, the first user U-1 may specify the shooting date and time. In this case, the management system 100 may adjust and change the flight schedule of the first eVTOL 10-1 so that the first eVTOL 10-1 passes through the shooting spot at the shooting date and time specified by the first user U-1. The coincidence of the date and time when the first eVTOL 10-1 passes through the shooting spot with the shooting date and time means that the first eVTOL 10-1 does not need to wait in the air, which is preferable from the viewpoints of energy and time savings.

[0031] The management system 100 acquires shooting request information 150 indicating the shooting content desired by the first user U-1. Then, based on the eVTOL management information 110 (schedule information) and the shooting request information 150, the management system 100 selects a second eVTOL 10-2 from among the plurality of eVTOLs 10 to shoot the first eVTOL 10-1. More specifically, the management system 100 selects a second eVTOL 10-2 that can shoot the first eVTOL 10-1 according to the shooting request information 150. For example, the management system 100 selects a second eVTOL 10-2 that can shoot at the shooting date and time at the shooting spot of the first eVTOL 10-1. Then, the management system 100 sets the flight schedule of the second eVTOL 10-2 to shoot the first eVTOL 10-1 according to the shooting request information 150. The second eVTOL 10-2 executes the flight according to the set flight schedule.

[0032] For example, the management system 100 may select a free eVTOL 10 with no schedule as the second eVTOL 10-2. In this case, the second eVTOL 10-2 will fly only for the purpose of shooting the first eVTOL 10-1. The management system 100 newly creates the flight schedule of the second eVTOL 10-2.

[0033] As another example, the management system 100 may select a reserved eVTOL 10 that the second user U-2 is scheduled to board as the second eVTOL 10-2. In this case, the second eVTOL 10-2 will shoot the first eVTOL 10-1 while transporting the second user U-2 to the destination. Since both the transportation of the second user U-2 and the shooting of the first eVTOL 10-1 are achieved in one flight, it is efficient.

[0034] However, if the reserved second eVTOL 10-2 is selected, basically, it is necessary to reset (adjust) the flight schedule of the second eVTOL 10-2. That is, the management system 100 resets (adjusts) the flight schedule of the second eVTOL 10-2 so that the first eVTOL 10-1 can take pictures according to the picture-taking desire information 150. At this time, the smaller the change between the original flight schedule and the adjusted flight schedule, the more preferable it is for the second user U-2.

[0035] As changes to the flight schedule of the second eVTOL 10-2, there may be changes to the flight route of the second eVTOL 10-2 and changes to the departure time or arrival time of the second eVTOL 10-2.

[0036] First, consider suppressing changes to the flight route. For example, if the picture-taking spot exists between the departure and destination of the second eVTOL 10-2, changes to the flight route can be suppressed. The departure and destination of the reserved eVTOL 10 are obtained from the eVTOL management information 110. Therefore, the management system 100 can select the second eVTOL 10-2 such that a picture-taking spot exists between the departure and destination based on the eVTOL management information 110 and the picture-taking desire information 150.

[0037] As another example, if the picture-taking spot is close to the original flight route of the second eVTOL 10-2, changes to the flight schedule can be suppressed. That the picture-taking spot is close to the original flight route means, for example, that the distance between the picture-taking spot and the original flight route is less than a certain distance. The original flight route of the reserved eVTOL 10 is included in its flight schedule. Therefore, the management system 100 can select the second eVTOL 10-2 such that the picture-taking spot is close to the original flight route based on the eVTOL management information 110 and the picture-taking desire information 150.

[0038] Still, the small change in the flight route means that detours are suppressed. Therefore, the small change in the flight route is preferable not only for the second user U-2 but also from the perspective of suppressing energy consumption.

[0039] Next, consider suppressing changes in the departure time or arrival time. The time when a certain eVTOL 10 is scheduled to pass through the shooting spot is hereinafter referred to as the "scheduled passing time". The scheduled passing time of a certain eVTOL 10 can be calculated based on the flight schedule of that eVTOL 10. If the scheduled passing time of the second eVTOL 10-2 is after the shooting date and time, it is necessary to advance the departure time of the second eVTOL 10-2. Conversely, if the scheduled passing time of the second eVTOL 10-2 is before the shooting date and time, the second eVTOL 10-2 needs to wait at the shooting spot until the shooting date and time, and as a result, the arrival time is delayed. In order to suppress such changes in the departure time or arrival time, the management system 100 may select the second eVTOL 10-2 whose difference between the scheduled passing time and the shooting date and time is less than a certain time based on the eVTOL management information 110 and the shooting request information 150.

[0040] In addition, when the management system 100 wants to select the second eVTOL 10-2 that the second user U-2 is scheduled to board, it may obtain the consent of the second user U-2 in advance. In this case, the management system 100 transmits cooperation request information asking "whether the second eVTOL 10-2 can be used for the shooting service" to the second user terminal 30-2. The second user terminal 30-2 presents the cooperation request information to the second user U-2. The second user U-2 inputs a response to the request information into the second user terminal 30-2. The second user terminal 30-2 returns the response content to the management system 100. The management system 100 selects the second eVTOL 10-2 only when the second user U-2 consents to cooperate.

[0041] The management system 100 may offer benefits to the second user U-2 via the second user terminal 30-2. That is, the management system 100 may give the second user U-2 an incentive to commit to cooperation. For example, the management system 100 transmits benefit information to the second user terminal 30-2 together with the cooperation request information. The benefit information includes, for example, that the flight fare will be discounted if cooperation is committed. As another example, the benefit information may include that benefits such as points and coupons will be granted. When the benefit information is presented to the second user U-2, the likelihood that the second user U-2 will commit to cooperation increases. As a result, the likelihood of being able to respond to the shooting request desired by the first user U-1 also increases. That is, it is possible to increase the satisfaction of the first user U-1 while suppressing the dissatisfaction of the second user U-2.

[0042] Figure 4 is a conceptual diagram for explaining an example of schedule adjustment. From the perspective of suppressing energy consumption, it is preferable to minimize the time that the second eVTOL 10-2 waits (hovers) at the aerial shooting spot until the shooting date and time. Therefore, the management system 100 may adjust the flight schedule of the second eVTOL 10-2 so that the second eVTOL 10-2 arrives at the shooting spot at the shooting date and time without waiting in the air. Thereby, unnecessary power consumption can be suppressed.

[0043] However, in order to adjust the schedule so that the second eVTOL 10-2 arrives at the shooting spot at the shooting date and time without waiting in the air, it is necessary to change the departure time of the second eVTOL 10-2 from the original departure time desired by the second user U-2. When it is necessary to change the departure time of the second eVTOL 10-2 from the original departure time desired by the second user U-2, the management system 100 may offer a privilege to the second user U-2 via the second user terminal 30-2. Also in this case, the management system 100 transmits privilege information to the second user terminal 30-2. Examples of the privilege information are as described above. By presenting the privilege information to the second user U-2, the possibility that the second user U-2 will approve the change of the departure time is increased. As a result, the possibility of suppressing unnecessary power consumption is enhanced.

[0044] 2-3. Effects As described above, according to this embodiment, a shooting service is provided as part of a flight service using the eVTOL 10. More specifically, a second eVTOL 10-2 capable of shooting according to the shooting desired content is selected for the first eVTOL 10-1 on which the first user U-1 boards. Then, the flight schedule of the second eVTOL 10-2 is determined so as to shoot the first eVTOL 10-1 according to the shooting desired content. The first user U-1 can acquire a photo / video in which the first eVTOL 10-1 on which he / she is boarding is reflected. Thereby, the satisfaction of the user U with respect to the flight service is improved. As a result, it is expected that the opportunity to use the flight service using the eVTOL 10 will increase.

[0045] Other effects are as described in the above section 2-2.

[0046] 3. Example of Management System Configuration FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing a configuration example of the management system 100. The management system 100 includes one or more processors 101 (hereinafter simply referred to as the processor 101), one or more storage devices 102 (hereinafter simply referred to as the storage device 102), and a communication interface 103.

[0047] The processor 101 executes various processes. For example, the processor 101 manages the eVTOL 10, manages the takeoff and landing sites 20, accepts flight reservations from the user U, determines the itinerary (flight route and flight schedule) for the user U, and so on. Examples of the processor 101 include a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array), and the like.

[0048] The storage device 102 stores various information. Examples of the storage device 102 include a volatile memory, a non-volatile memory, an HDD (Hard Disk Drive), an SSD (Solid State Drive), and the like.

[0049] The communication interface 103 is communicably connected to each eVTOL 10, terminals installed at each takeoff and landing site 20, each user terminal 30, and the like. The processor 101 communicates with each eVTOL 10, terminals installed at each takeoff and landing site 20, each user terminal 30, and the like via the communication interface 103.

[0050] The management program PROG is a computer program executed by the processor 101. The functions of the management system 100 may be realized by the cooperation of the processor 101 and the storage device 102 that execute the management program PROG. The management program PROG is stored in the storage device 102. Alternatively, the management program PROG may be recorded on a computer-readable recording medium.

[0051] The storage device 102 stores eVTOL management information 110, takeoff and landing site information 120, user information 130, itinerary information 140, shooting request information 150, and the like.

[0052] The eVTOL management information 110 is information for managing each eVTOL 10. For example, the eVTOL management information 110 includes the airframe ID, location information, performance information, status information, schedule information, etc. of each eVTOL 10. The location information is measured by a GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) and an altimeter mounted on the eVTOL 10 and transmitted from the eVTOL 10 to the management system 100. The performance information includes the endurance, maximum flight speed, battery performance, etc. The status information includes the operating status (waiting, flying), flight speed, etc. and is transmitted from the eVTOL 10 to the management system 100. The schedule information indicates the flight schedule of each eVTOL 10. The flight schedule includes the departure location, destination, departure time, arrival time, flight route, etc.

[0053] The takeoff and landing site information 120 is information regarding each takeoff and landing site 20. For example, the takeoff and landing site information 120 includes the ID, location information, facility information, schedule information, etc. of each takeoff and landing site 20. The location information (latitude, longitude) of each takeoff and landing site 20 is known information. The facility information indicates the presence or absence of a charging facility, the presence or absence of a maintenance facility, etc. The schedule information indicates which eVTOL 10 is present (available) at each takeoff and landing site 20 and when.

[0054] The user information 130 is information related to the user U of the flight service. For example, the user information 130 includes the user ID, registration information, reservation information, usage history information, etc. of each user U.

[0055] The itinerary information 140 is information regarding the itinerary of the flight reserved by the user U. For example, the itinerary information 140 includes the itinerary ID, the user ID of the user U, the airframe ID of the eVTOL 10 used, the departure location (the first takeoff and landing site 20-1), the destination (the second takeoff and landing site 20-2), the departure time, the arrival time, the required time, the flight route, the flight fare, etc.

[0056] The shooting request information 150 is information indicating the shooting content desired by the first user U-1. The shooting request information 150 is generated based on the information input by the first user U-1. As described above, the shooting request information 150 includes the shooting spot. The shooting request information 150 may further include the shooting direction. The shooting request information 150 may further include the shooting date and time.

[0057] The first user U-1 who wishes to use the flight service starts the flight service application on the first user terminal 30-1. The first user U-1 inputs a flight service request using the first user terminal 30-1. For example, the flight service request includes the desired use date, the desired departure time, the desired arrival time, the departure location (takeoff / landing site 20-1), the destination (takeoff / landing site 20-2), etc. The first user terminal 30-1 transmits the input flight service request to the management system 100.

[0058] The processor 101 of the management system 100 receives the flight service request via the communication interface 103. The processor 101 stores the received flight service request in the storage device 102. In response to the flight service request, the processor 101 creates a journey from the departure location (takeoff / landing site 20-1) to the destination (takeoff / landing site 20-2). For example, the processor 101 selects the eVTOL 10 available at the departure location at the desired departure time on the desired use date as the first eVTOL 10-1 based on the eVTOL management information 110 and the takeoff / landing site information 120. Also, the processor 101 acquires the location information of the departure location and the destination based on the takeoff / landing site information 120. Then, the processor 101 determines one or more flight routes from the departure location to the destination. In this way, the processor 101 generates the schedule information of the first eVTOL 10-1 and the journey information 140 for the first user U-1. The processor 101 reflects the schedule information of the first eVTOL 10-1 in the eVTOL management information 110.

[0059] The first user U-1 can desire a photography service as an option. The first user U-1 desiring the photography service inputs necessary information using a flight service app. The first user terminal 30-1 (flight service app) or the management system 100 generates photography desired information 150 based on the information input by the first user U-1. As described above, the photography desired information 150 is information indicating the content of photography desired by the first user U-1.

[0060] The management system 100 acquires the photography desired information 150. Then, the processor 101 of the management system 100 selects a second eVTOL 10-2 that photographs the first eVTOL 10-1 from among a plurality of eVTOLs 10 based on the eVTOL management information 110 (schedule information) and the photography desired information 150. That is, the management system 100 selects a second eVTOL 10-2 that can photograph the first eVTOL 10-1 according to the photography desired information 150. Then, the management system 100 sets the flight schedule of the second eVTOL 10-2 to photograph the first eVTOL 10-1 according to the photography desired information 150. The selection of the second eVTOL 10-2 and the setting of the flight schedule of the second eVTOL 10-2 are as described in Section 2.

[0061] The processor 101 may offer a privilege to the second user U-2 as necessary. In that case, the processor 101 transmits privilege information to the second user terminal 30-2 via the communication interface 103.

[0062] The second eVTOL 10-2 executes a flight according to the set flight schedule. The second eVTOL 10-2 photographs the first eVTOL according to the photography desired information 150. The second eVTOL 10-2 transmits the photographed photo / video to, for example, the management system 100. The processor 101 of the management system 100 transmits the received photo / video to the first user terminal 30-1 of the first user U-1.
