[0036] [Mobility Unit Movement System] FIG. 2(a) is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of the mobility unit movement system 100 in the present embodiment. The mobility unit movement system 100 is a system for appropriately moving the mobility units 11 and 12. Specifically, in the mobility unit movement system 100, a resident of an apartment building having a first installation location 21 within the site reserves the use of the second mobility unit 12, and based on the reservation status, determines the first installation location 21 where the second mobility unit 12 is to be temporarily installed from among a plurality of first installation locations 21. In the present embodiment, the installation period for installing the second mobility unit 12 at the first installation location 21 is one week, but it is not limited thereto.

[0037] As shown in FIG. 2(a), the mobility unit movement system 100 includes a management device 110, a driver terminal 120 used by a driver of an automobile that towes and transports the mobility units 11 and 12, and a user terminal 130 used by a user of the mobility units 11 and 12. The management device 110, the driver terminal 120, and the user terminal 130 are communicably connected to each other via a communication network N. The communication network N is not particularly limited, and can be, for example, the Internet, a LAN (Local Area Network), a WAN (Wide Area Network), or the like.

[0038] The driver terminal 120 is composed of a computer such as a PC, a smartphone, or a tablet, and is owned and used by the driver of the vehicle that towes and transports the mobility units 11 and 12. In this embodiment, a smartphone, which is a portable information terminal, is adopted. The user terminal 130 is composed of a computer such as a PC, a smartphone, or a tablet, and is owned and used by the users of the mobility units 11 and 12. In this embodiment, a smartphone, which is a portable information terminal, is adopted. In this embodiment, the user who owns and uses the user terminal 130 is a resident of an apartment building that has the first installation location 21 within the site, but it is not limited to this.

[0039] [Management device] The management device 110 includes an arithmetic processing unit, a display unit, an input unit, a communication unit, etc. The arithmetic processing unit of the management device 110 is composed of a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a ROM (Read Only Memory), a RAM (Random Access Memory), etc., and comprehensively controls the processing operations of each part in the mobility unit movement system 100. Specifically, the arithmetic processing unit of the management device 110 stores a program. By executing the program, the functions of the management device 110, that is, the means 111 and 112 provided in the management device 110 shown in Fig. 2(a) are realized.

[0040] Registered in the management device 110 are the current position information of the plurality of mobility units 11 and 12 and the installation location information regarding the installation locations 21 and 22 where the mobility units 11 and 12 can be installed. In addition, the management device 110 can receive the desired unit information regarding the mobility units 11 and 12 that the user wishes to use and the desired location information regarding the installation locations 21 and 22 that the user wishes to use, which are information from the user terminal 130.

[0041] Then, based on the desired unit information, the management device 110 determines an available mobility unit from among the plurality of mobility units 11, 12, and is also capable of determining the movement route of the mobility units 11, 12 based on the desired location information. Specifically, the management device 110 includes a determination means 111 that determines an optimal installation location as the relocation destination of the mobility units 11, 12 from among the plurality of installation locations 21, 22. In addition, the management device 110 includes a creation means 112 that creates a driver's schedule based on the determination result by the determination means 111 and transmits it to the driver terminal 120.

[0042] [Reservation processing] FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing an example of the reservation processing in the management device 110 of the present embodiment. First, the management device 110 determines whether or not there has been a login from any one of the plurality of user terminals 130 (step S11). An application program such as an Internet browser and a viewing program is installed in the user terminal 130. By executing the application program, the user terminal 130 accesses the management device 110 via the communication network N and logs in to the management device 110 based on a user ID (identifier) and a password.

[0043] When there has been a login from the user terminal 130 (step S11; Yes), the management device 110 transmits reservation screen display data to the user terminal 130 via the communication network N (step S12). As a result, a reservation screen is displayed on the user terminal 130, and on this screen, the user who possesses and uses the user terminal 130 makes a reservation for using the second mobility unit 12.

[0044] Next, the management device 110 determines whether or not reservation information has been received from the user terminal 130 (step S13). When a user terminal 130 has its user who possesses and uses the user terminal 130 make a reservation for using the second mobility unit 12, the user terminal 130 transmits reservation information regarding the reservation to the management device 110 via the communication network N. For example, when a resident of the apartment building A makes a reservation for using the beauty salon type second mobility unit 12 using their own user terminal 130, reservation information regarding the reservation for using the beauty salon type second mobility unit 12 is transmitted from the user terminal 130 to the management device 110.

[0045] When the management device 110 receives reservation information from the user terminal 130 (step S13; Yes), the management device 110 stores the reservation information in the storage unit of the management device 110 (step S14). The reservation information includes the second mobility unit 12 to be used (desired unit information), the date of year and month to be used, and the corresponding first installation location 21 (desired location information). The corresponding first installation location 21 is the first installation location 21 that can be used by the user who possesses and uses the user terminal 130 that has transmitted the reservation information. That is, when the user who possesses and uses the user terminal 130 that has transmitted the reservation information is a resident of the apartment building A, the corresponding first installation location 21 is the vacant lot A. A plurality of reservation lists are stored in the management device 110. As shown in FIG. 5, the reservation list is a list in which the second mobility unit 12 (usage) and the first installation location 21 are associated with each other, and is provided at regular intervals.

[0046] For example, when a resident of apartment building A makes a reservation to use the beauty salon - type second mobility unit 12 using their user terminal 130 on February 4, 2024, the reservation information includes "beauty salon" as the second mobility unit 12 (desired use), "February 4, 2024" as the desired date, and "Vacant Lot A" as the corresponding first installation location 21. When receiving this reservation information, the management device 110 extracts the reservation list corresponding to the period including "February 4, 2024" (in this embodiment, the one - week period from February 1 to February 7, 2024) from among the plurality of reservation lists stored in the management device 110, and updates the specific column (the column where the second mobility unit 12 (use) is "beauty salon" and the first installation location 21 is "Vacant Lot A") in the extracted reservation list by +1. This specific column is cleared to 0, for example, when the vacant lot A is determined by the determination means 111 to be the optimal relocation destination for the beauty salon - type second mobility unit 12.

[0047] [Schedule Creation Process] FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an example of the schedule creation process in the management device 110 of the present embodiment. First, the management device 110 determines whether it is the schedule creation timing (step S21). The schedule creation timing is, for example, a predetermined time zone (e.g., around 18:00) on the day before the day when the second mobility unit 12 is relocated (e.g., February 1, 2024).

[0048] If it is the schedule creation timing (step S21; Yes), the management device 110 determines the available second mobility unit 12 from among the plurality of second mobility units 12 based on the desired unit information from the user terminal 130 by the determination means 111 and the creation means 112, and determines the movement route of the mobility units 11, 12 based on the desired location information from the user terminal 130.

[0049] More specifically, first, the management device 110 determines, by the determination means 111, the optimal installation location as the relocation destination of the second mobility unit 12 from among a plurality of first installation locations 21 (step S22). Specifically, the determination means 111 extracts the usage reservation list corresponding to the corresponding period (for example, from February 1st to February 7th, 2024) from among the plurality of usage reservation lists stored in the management device 110, and determines the optimal relocation destination of the second mobility unit 12 based on the aggregation result in the extracted usage reservation list.

[0050] The determination means 111 first determines whether the first installation location 21 satisfies the first condition. Specifically, the first installation location 21 that satisfies the first condition is, for example, the first installation location 21 where the number of reservations is equal to or more than a predetermined number (for example, 20), and is the first installation location 21 with the largest number of reservations. In the case of the example shown in FIG. 5, for the food store type second mobility unit 12, the first installation location 21 that satisfies the first condition is the vacant lot E. Also, for the soba noodle shop type second mobility unit 12, the first installation location 21 that satisfies the first condition is the vacant lot E. Also, for the beauty salon type second mobility unit 12, the first installation location 21 that satisfies the first condition is the vacant lot C. Also, for the hospital type second mobility unit 12, the first installation location 21 that satisfies the first condition is the vacant lot B. Also, for the massage parlor type second mobility unit 12, the first installation location 21 that satisfies the first condition is the vacant lot C. For the other second mobility units 12 (general merchandise store type second mobility unit 12, foreign goods store type second mobility unit 12, café type second mobility unit 12, barbershop type second mobility unit 12, karaoke parlor type second mobility unit 12), there is no first installation location 21 that satisfies the first condition. Therefore, during the corresponding period (for example, from February 1st to February 7th, 2024), the other second mobility units 12 remain installed at the second installation location 22 without being installed at the first installation location 21.

[0051] Next, the determination means 111 determines whether the first installation location 21 that satisfies the first condition satisfies the second condition. Specifically, the first installation location 21 that satisfies the second condition is, for example, the first installation location 21 where the number of times the first installation location 21 is determined to satisfy the first condition is less than or equal to the number of mobility units 11, 12 that can be installed at the first installation location 21. In the case of the example shown in FIG. 5, the number of times the vacant lot B is determined to satisfy the first condition is 1 time. In the case of this embodiment, since the number of mobility units 11, 12 that can be installed at the vacant lot B is 1 unit, the vacant lot B satisfies the second condition. Therefore, the determination means 111 determines the vacant lot B (the first installation location 21) as the optimal relocation destination of the hospital-type second mobility unit 12.

[0052] Also, the number of times the vacant lot C is determined to satisfy the first condition is 2 times. In the case of this embodiment, since the number of mobility units 11, 12 that can be installed at the vacant lot C is 1 unit, the vacant lot C does not satisfy the second condition. Note that when the number of mobility units 11, 12 that can be installed at the vacant lot C is 2 or more, the vacant lot C satisfies the second condition. Therefore, in this case, the vacant lot C (the first installation location 21) is determined as the optimal relocation destination of the beauty salon-type second mobility unit 12 and the massage parlor-type second mobility unit 12.

[0053] Also, the number of times the vacant lot E is determined to satisfy the first condition is 2 times. In the case of this embodiment, since the number of mobility units 11, 12 that can be installed at the vacant lot E is 1 unit, the vacant lot E does not satisfy the second condition. Note that when the number of mobility units 11, 12 that can be installed at the vacant lot E is 2 or more, the vacant lot E satisfies the second condition. Therefore, in this case, the vacant lot E (the first installation location 21) is determined as the optimal relocation destination of the food store-type second mobility unit 12 and the soba noodle shop-type second mobility unit 12.

[0054] Next, the determination means 111 selects a second mobility unit 12 for which the first installation location 21 that does not satisfy the second condition becomes the optimal relocation destination. In the case of the example shown in FIG. 5, the vacant lot C and the vacant lot E are the first installation locations 21 that do not satisfy the second condition. The second mobility units 12 for which the vacant lot C satisfies the first condition are the beauty salon type second mobility unit 12 and the massage parlor type second mobility unit 12. Among these, the one with the larger number of reservations is the beauty salon type second mobility unit 12. Therefore, the determination means 111 determines the vacant lot C (the first installation location 21) as the optimal relocation destination for the beauty salon type second mobility unit 12. Also, the uses for which the vacant lot E satisfies the first condition are the grocery store type second mobility unit 12 and the soba noodle shop type second mobility unit 12. Among these, the one with the larger number of reservations is the grocery store type second mobility unit 12. Therefore, the determination means 111 determines the vacant lot E (the first installation location 21) as the optimal relocation destination for the grocery store type second mobility unit 12.

[0055] Next, the determination means 111 determines whether or not to relocate the second mobility unit 12 for which the first installation location 21 that does not satisfy the second condition does not become the optimal relocation destination. If relocation is to be performed, the relocation destination is determined. In the case of the example shown in FIG. 5, the massage parlor type second mobility unit 12 and the soba noodle shop type second mobility unit 12 are the second mobility units 12 for which the first installation location 21 that does not satisfy the second condition does not become the optimal relocation destination. For the massage parlor type second mobility unit 12, among the first installation locations 21 other than the vacant lot C, there is no first installation location 21 for which the number of reservations is equal to or more than a predetermined number (for example, 20). Therefore, the determination means 111 determines not to relocate the massage parlor type second mobility unit 12. As a result, the massage parlor type second mobility unit 12 remains installed at the second installation location 22 without being installed at the first installation location 21 during the corresponding period (for example, from February 1 to February 7, 2024). In addition, for the massage parlor type second mobility unit 12, when there is a first installation location 21 other than the vacant lot C among the first installation locations 21 where the number of reservations is equal to or more than a predetermined number (for example, 20), and the first installation location 21 has not yet been determined as the optimal relocation destination, the determination means 111 determines the first installation location 21 as the optimal relocation destination for the massage parlor type second mobility unit 12.

[0056] Also, for the soba noodle shop type second mobility unit 12, among the first installation locations 21 other than the vacant lot E, there is a first installation location 21 where the number of reservations is equal to or more than a predetermined number (for example, 20), but the first installation location 21 is the vacant lot C, and it has already been determined as the optimal relocation destination for the beauty salon type second mobility unit 12. Therefore, the determination means 111 determines not to relocate the soba noodle shop type second mobility unit 12. As a result, the soba noodle shop type second mobility unit 12 remains installed at the second installation location 22 without being installed at the first installation location 21 during the corresponding period (for example, from February 1 to February 7, 2024). In addition, for the soba noodle shop type second mobility unit 12, when there is a first installation location 21 other than the vacant lot E among the first installation locations 21 where the number of reservations is equal to or more than a predetermined number (for example, 20), and the first installation location 21 has not yet been determined as the optimal relocation destination, the determination means 111 determines the first installation location 21 as the optimal relocation destination for the soba noodle shop type second mobility unit 12. In the above manner, the optimal relocation destination of the second mobility unit 12 is determined, but the method for determining the optimal relocation destination is not limited to this.

[0057] Next, the management device 110 creates (step S23) the driver's schedule based on the determination result by the determination means 111, the location information of the first installation location 21, the inventory status, etc. by the creation means 112, and transmits it to the driver terminal 120 (step S24). As a result, a screen as shown in FIG. 6 is displayed on the display unit of the driver terminal 120. In the case of the example shown in FIG. 6, first, in order to replenish the stock of the second mobility unit 12 of the general merchandise store type, the second mobility unit 12 of the general merchandise store type is towed and transported by the vehicle driven by the driver. Specifically, starting from the base at 6:00, arriving at the supplier at 6:20, replenishing the stock after procurement, then departing from the supplier at 6:50 and arriving at the base at 7:10.

[0058] Next, in order to relocate the second mobility unit 12 of the grocery store type to the optimal relocation destination (here, the vacant lot E), the second mobility unit 12 of the grocery store type is towed and transported by the vehicle driven by the driver. Before that, in order to replenish the stock of the second mobility unit 12 of the grocery store type, starting from the base (the installation location before relocation) at 7:20 (the start time of relocation), arriving at the supplier at 7:35, replenishing the stock after procurement, then departing from the supplier at 8:05 and arriving at the vacant lot E (the installation location after relocation) at 8:30 (the end time of relocation). Then, at the vacant lot E, the second mobility unit 12 of the grocery store type is installed in place of the mobility unit E.

[0059] In the case of this embodiment, the mobility unit E is the first mobility unit 11 of the trunk room type (the first mobility unit 11 having an interior that can be used as a trunk room), and this first mobility unit 11 of the trunk room type is relocated to the base. That is, the first mobility unit 11 installed at the vacant lot E (the first installation location 21) and the second mobility unit 12 installed at the base (the second installation location 22) are exchanged. In order to relocate the mobility unit E (the first mobility unit 11 of the trunk room type) to the base, the mobility unit E is towed and transported by the vehicle driven by the driver. Specifically, starting from the vacant lot E (the installation location before relocation) at 8:40 (the start time of relocation) and arriving at the base (the installation location after relocation) at 8:50 (the end time of relocation).

[0060] Next, in order to relocate the hospital-type second mobility unit 12 to the optimal relocation destination (here, vacant lot B), the hospital-type second mobility unit 12 is towed and transported by an automobile driven by a driver. Specifically, starting from the base (the installation location before relocation) at 9:00 (relocation start time), it arrives at vacant lot B (the installation location after relocation) at 9:15 (relocation end time). Then, at vacant lot B, the hospital-type second mobility unit 12 is installed in place of mobility unit B.

[0061] In the case of this embodiment, mobility unit B is the telework space-type first mobility unit 11 (the first mobility unit 11 equipped with an interior that can be used as a telework space), and this telework space-type first mobility unit 11 is relocated to the base. That is, the first mobility unit 11 installed at vacant lot B (the first installation location 21) and the second mobility unit 12 installed at the base (the second installation location 22) are exchanged. In order to relocate mobility unit B (the telework space-type first mobility unit 11) to the base, mobility unit B is towed and transported by an automobile driven by a driver. Specifically, starting from vacant lot B (the installation location before relocation) at 9:25 (relocation start time), it arrives at the base (the installation location after relocation) at 9:40 (relocation end time).

[0062] Finally, in order to relocate the beauty salon-type second mobility unit 12 to the optimal relocation destination (here, vacant lot C), the beauty salon-type second mobility unit 12 is towed and transported by an automobile driven by a driver. Specifically, starting from the base (the installation location before relocation) at 9:50 (relocation start time), it arrives at vacant lot C (the installation location after relocation) at 10:10 (relocation end time). Then, at vacant lot C, the beauty salon-type second mobility unit 12 is installed in place of mobility unit C.

[0063] In the case of this embodiment, the mobility unit C is the integrated first mobility unit 11 with a telework space and a trunk room, and this integrated first mobility unit 11 is relocated to the base. That is, the first mobility unit 11 installed at the vacant lot C (the first installation location 21) and the second mobility unit 12 installed at the base (the second installation location 22) are exchanged. In order to relocate the mobility unit C (the integrated first mobility unit 11) to the base, the mobility unit B is towed and transported by an automobile driven by a driver. Specifically, it departs from the vacant lot C (the installation location before relocation) at 10:20 (the start time of relocation) and arrives at the base (the installation location after relocation) at 10:40 (the end time of relocation). As a result, the state shown in Fig. 1(a) changes to the state shown in Fig. 1(b).

[0064] The installation locations where the mobility unit B can be installed are the base (the second installation location 22) and the vacant lot B (the first installation location 21), and the mobility unit B is not installed at the first installation location 21 (vacant lots A, C to G) other than the vacant lot B. Therefore, when the corresponding period (for example, from February 1st to February 7th, 2024) ends, the mobility unit B is relocated from the base (the second installation location 22) to the vacant lot B (the first installation location 21), and the hospital-type second mobility unit 12 is relocated from the vacant lot B (the first installation location 21) to the base (the second installation location 22).

[0065] Also, the installation locations where the mobility unit C can be installed are the base (the second installation location 22) and the vacant lot C (the first installation location 21), and the mobility unit C is not installed at the first installation location 21 (vacant lots A, B, D to G) other than the vacant lot C. Therefore, when the corresponding period (for example, from February 1st to February 7th, 2024) ends, the mobility unit C is relocated from the base (the second installation location 22) to the vacant lot C (the first installation location 21), and the beauty salon-type second mobility unit 12 is relocated from the vacant lot C (the first installation location 21) to the base (the second installation location 22).

[0066] In addition, the installation locations where the mobility unit E can be installed are the base (second installation location 22) and the vacant lot E (first installation location 21), and the mobility unit E will not be installed at the first installation location 21 (vacant lots A to D, F, G) other than the vacant lot E. Therefore, when the corresponding period (for example, from February 1st to February 7th, 2024) ends, the mobility unit E is relocated from the base (second installation location 22) to the vacant lot E (first installation location 21), and the grocery store - type second mobility unit 12 is relocated from the vacant lot E (first installation location 21) to the base (second installation location 22).

[0067] According to the first embodiment, the following excellent effects can be achieved. The management device 110 of the first embodiment is a management device capable of communicating with the user terminal 130 used by the users who use the mobility units 11 and 12. In the management device 110, the current position information of the plurality of mobility units 11 and 12 and the installation location information regarding the installation locations 21 and 22 where the mobility units 11 and 12 can be installed are registered. The management device 110 can receive the desired unit information regarding the second mobility unit 12 that the user desires to use and the desired location information regarding the installation location 21 that the user desires to use, which are information from the user terminal 130. Based on the desired unit information, it determines the available second mobility unit 12 from among the plurality of second mobility units 12, and based on the desired location information, it determines the movement route of the mobility units 11 and 12.

[0068] Therefore, based on the desired unit information from the user, the available second mobility unit 12 is determined from among the plurality of second mobility units 12, and based on the desired location information from the user, the movement route of the mobility units 11 and 12 is determined. Thus, the mobility units 11 and 12 can be effectively utilized. Note that the desired location information regarding the installation location 21 where use is desired may be information regarding the installation location 21 input by the user operating the user terminal 130, may be information based on the user's address information, or may be information based on the GPS information of the user terminal 130 used by the user.

[0069] In addition, the management device 110 of the first embodiment can communicate with the driver terminal 120 used by the driver of the vehicle that tow the mobility units 11, 12. By configuring in this way, it becomes possible to transmit to the driver terminal 120 the available second mobility unit 12 determined based on the desired unit information from the user, and the movement routes of the mobility units 11, 12 determined based on the desired location information from the user.

[0070] In addition, the management device 110 of the first embodiment includes a determination means 111 that determines the optimal installation location as the relocation destination of the mobility units 11, 12 from among a plurality of installation locations 21, 22, and a creation means 112 that creates a schedule based on the determination result by the determination means 111 and transmits it to the driver terminal 120. With one vehicle, it is possible to relocate a plurality of mobility units 11, 12 at different times during a day, and the schedule is information including the installation location before relocation and the relocation start time, and the installation location after relocation and the relocation end time for each of the mobility units 11, 12. By configuring in this way, a schedule for relocating a plurality of mobility units 11, 12 at different times during a day is transmitted to the driver terminal 120, so that a plurality of mobility units 11, 12 can be relocated to various installation locations 21, 22, and the mobility units 11, 12 can be effectively utilized.

[0071] In addition, in the management device 110 of the first embodiment, the determination means 111 can receive a reservation for using the mobility unit (second mobility unit 12) from the user terminal 130 and make the determination based on the reservation status. By configuring in this way, based on the reservation status of the usage reservation, it is possible to determine the optimal installation location as the relocation destination of the mobility unit (second mobility unit 12) from among a plurality of installation locations (first installation location 21). Therefore, it becomes possible to efficiently relocate the mobility units 11 and 12.

[0072] Also, in the management device 110 of the first embodiment, among the plurality of installation locations 21 and 22, there are a first installation location 21 and a second installation location 22 where more mobility units 11 and 12 can be installed than the first installation location 21. Among the mobility units 11 and 12, there is a second mobility unit 12 that is normally installed at the second installation location 22 and temporarily installed at the first installation location 21. The user lives near the first installation location 21 and makes a usage reservation for the second mobility unit 12 using the user terminal 130. The determination means 111 can determine whether or not to relocate the second mobility unit 12 to the first installation location 21 based on the reservation status of the second mobility unit 12. By configuring in this way, the user can call the second mobility unit 12, which is normally installed at the second installation location 22, to the first installation location 21 near the user's residence just by making a usage reservation, which is very convenient.

[0073] Also, in the management device 110 of the first embodiment, the mobility units 11 and 12 can be configured to include a first mobility unit 11 that is normally installed at the first installation location 21 and temporarily installed at the second installation location 22, and a second mobility unit 12. By configuring in this way, the first mobility unit 11 can be installed at the first installation location 21 near the user's residence, and by using the first mobility unit 11 as, for example, a telework space or a trunk room, it becomes possible to solve the problems of the user's residence. Note that the first installation location 21 does not necessarily have to be a space where the first mobility unit 11 is usually installed and the second mobility unit 12 is temporarily installed. Specifically, the first installation location 21 may be, for example, a space that is usually used as a vacant space (a space where no mobility unit is installed) and where the second mobility unit 12 is temporarily installed.

[0074] The mobility unit moving system 100 of the first embodiment includes a management device 110 and a user terminal 130. Therefore, based on the desired unit information from the user, an available second mobility unit 12 is determined from among the plurality of second mobility units 12, and based on the desired location information from the user, the movement routes of the mobility units 11 and 12 are determined, so that the mobility units 11 and 12 can be effectively utilized.

[0075] The program of the first embodiment can communicate with the user terminal 130 used by a user who uses the mobility units 11 and 12, and registers the current location information of the plurality of mobility units 11 and 12 and the installation location information regarding the installation locations 21 and 22 where the mobility units 11 and 12 can be installed in the management device 110. The management device 110 can receive, from the user terminal 130, desired unit information regarding the second mobility unit 12 that the user wishes to use and desired location information regarding the installation location 21 where the user wishes to use it. Based on the desired unit information, an available second mobility unit 12 is determined from among the plurality of second mobility units 12, and based on the desired location information, the movement routes of the mobility units 11 and 12 can be determined. Therefore, based on the desired unit information from the user, an available second mobility unit 12 is determined from among the plurality of second mobility units 12, and based on the desired location information from the user, the movement routes of the mobility units 11 and 12 are determined, so that the mobility units 11 and 12 can be effectively utilized.

[0076] Note that, as shown in FIG. 2(b), the management device 110 may be communicable with a vehicle 140 that tow the mobility units 11 and 12 instead of (or in addition to) the driver terminal 120. In this case, the creation means 112 transmits the created schedule to the vehicle 140. As a result, the schedule is displayed on a display unit (for example, a screen of a car navigation device) provided in the vehicle 140. Further, in this case, the vehicle 140 may be capable of autonomous driving based on the schedule from the creation means 112.

[0077] Further, the first installation location 21 is not limited to the vacant lots (vacant lots A to G) within the site of the apartment house. That is, the first installation location 21 may be any vacant space where the mobility units 11 and 12 can be installed, and in addition to the vacant lots within the site of the apartment house, it may be a park, a parking lot, a road, or the like. Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, the first installation location 21 may include an event venue. In this case, the user (the user who possesses and uses the user terminal 130) who makes a reservation for using the second mobility unit 12 to the event venue (the first installation location 21) is, for example, the organizer or the like who holds an event at the event venue. Further, in this case, the determination means 111 may prioritize the reservation for calling the second mobility unit 12 to the event venue (the first installation location 21) over the reservation for calling the second mobility unit 12 to the vacant lots A to G (the first installation location 21), and determine the optimal relocation destination of the mobility units 11 and 12.

[0078] Further, when a plurality of second mobility units 12 are installed at the event venue (the first installation location 21), the plurality of second mobility units 12 may be the second mobility units 12 from the same base (the second installation location 22), or may be the second mobility units 12 from different bases (the second installation location 22). Specifically, for example, by gathering the second mobility units 12 that sell local specialties from a plurality of bases (bases located in various places (second installation locations 22)) to a single event venue (first installation location 21), it becomes possible to use the single event venue as a limited-time antenna shop village.

[0079] Also, although the determination means 111 of the present embodiment determines the optimal relocation destination of the mobility units 11 and 12 based on the reservation status of the second mobility unit 12, it is not limited thereto. For example, the optimal relocation destination of the mobility units 11 and 12 may be determined based on the reservation status of the second mobility unit 12 and the maintenance period of the first mobility unit 11. Specifically, assume that it is possible to perform maintenance of the mobility units 11 and 12 at the base (second installation location 22), and the maintenance period of the first mobility unit 11 is predetermined. Then, for example, when the maintenance period of mobility unit A arrives, mobility unit A is relocated from vacant lot A (first installation location 21) to the base (second installation location 22), and any one of the second mobility units 12 (for example, the second mobility unit 12 with the most usage reservations for calling to vacant lot A) is relocated from the base (second installation location 22) to vacant lot A (first installation location 21), and the relocation destinations of the respective mobility units 11 and 12 may be determined in this way. Note that the maintenance here may include, for example, regular inspections and vehicle inspections.

[0080] Also, the use of the first mobility unit 11 installed at the first installation location 21 may be changed as necessary based on information from the user terminal 130. Specifically, when the management device 110 determines based on information from the user terminal 130 that, for example, the residents of the apartment building C have changed and the number of residents who want to use the telework space has increased, the management device 110 may transmit instruction information for instructing the mobility unit C to be changed from the combined-type first mobility unit 11 equipped with a telework space and a trunk room to the first mobility unit 11 of the telework space type to the vehicle 140 or the driver terminal 120.

[0081] <Second Embodiment> Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. For convenience of explanation, elements common to the above-described first embodiment are denoted by common reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted or simplified.

[0082] [Mobility Unit] FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining an example of the mobility unit and its installation location in the present embodiment. In the mobility unit in the first embodiment, there were a first mobility unit 11 normally installed at the first installation location 21 and a second mobility unit 12 normally installed at the second installation location 22. On the other hand, in the mobility unit in the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, there is a first mobility unit 11 and no second mobility unit 12. Further, in the first mobility unit 11 in the first embodiment, there were a telework space type, a trunk room type, and a combined type in which a telework space and a trunk room were provided together. On the other hand, in the first mobility unit 11 in the second embodiment, there are a trunk room type and a combined type in which a telework space and a trunk room are provided together, and there is no telework space type. That is, the mobility unit in the second embodiment has a storage space inside.

[0083] In the mobility unit (the first mobility unit 11) in the second embodiment, not only items that residents of an apartment building having a first installation location 21 within the site want to store but also unwanted items they want to sell can be stored. That is, the mobility unit (the first mobility unit 11) in the second embodiment can be used as a general trunk room and also as a flea market. In the mobility unit movement system 200 in the second embodiment, residents of an apartment building having a first installation location 21 within the site register information regarding unwanted items stored in the first mobility unit 11 so that other residents can view the registered information. Then, other residents who want to buy the unwanted items make a reservation to use the first mobility unit 11 in which the unwanted items are stored, and based on the reservation status, another first installation location 21 where the first mobility unit 11 in which the unwanted items are stored is temporarily installed is determined from among a plurality of first installation locations 21. In this embodiment, the installation period for installing the first mobility unit 11 at another first installation location 21 is set to one day, but it is not limited to this.

[0084] Specifically, for example, the mobility unit A can store not only the items that the residents of the apartment building A want to store, but also the unwanted items that they want to sell. When the residents of the apartment building A store the unwanted items they want to sell in the mobility unit A, they register information (such as price, features, images, etc.) about the unwanted items in the management device 210. As a result, the residents of the apartment buildings A to G can view the information about the unwanted items stored in the mobility unit A. And when the residents of the apartment buildings other than the apartment building A (apartment buildings B to G) want to buy the unwanted items (the unwanted items stored in the mobility unit A), they make a reservation for the use of the mobility unit A, and the management device 210 determines another first installation location 21 (from vacant lots B to G) other than the vacant lot A to temporarily install the mobility unit A based on the reservation status. That is, in the case of the second embodiment, the installation locations where the mobility unit A can be installed are not only the base (the second installation location 22) and the vacant lot A (the first installation location 21), but also the mobility unit A can be installed at the first installation location 21 (vacant lots B to G) other than the vacant lot A. The same applies to the mobility units B to G.

[0085] [Mobility Unit Movement System] FIG. 9(a) is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of the mobility unit movement system 200 in the present embodiment. The mobility unit movement system 200 is a system for appropriately moving the first mobility unit 11. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9(a), the mobility unit movement system 200 includes a management device 210, a driver terminal 120 used by the driver of the vehicle that towes and transports the first mobility unit 11, and a user terminal 130 used by the user of the first mobility unit 11. The management device 210, the driver terminal 120, and the user terminal 130 are communicably connected to each other via the communication network N.

[0086] [Management Device] The management device 210 includes an arithmetic processing unit, a display unit, an input unit, a communication unit, etc. The arithmetic processing unit of the management device 210 is composed of a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, etc., and comprehensively controls the processing operations of each part in the mobility unit movement system 200. Specifically, the arithmetic processing unit of the management device 210 stores a program. By executing the program, the functions of the management device 210, that is, the means 211, 212, 213 provided in the management device 210 shown in Fig. 9(a) are realized.

[0087] In the management device 210, the current position information of a plurality of mobility units 11, 12 and the installation location information regarding the installation locations 21, 22 where the mobility units 11, 12 can be installed are registered. In addition, the management device 210 can receive the desired unit information regarding the mobility units 11, 12 that the user wishes to use and the desired location information regarding the installation locations 21, 22 that the user wishes to use, which are information from the user terminal 130.

[0088] Then, the management device 210 can determine the available mobility units from among the plurality of mobility units 11, 12 based on the desired unit information, and can determine the movement route of the mobility units 11, 12 based on the desired location information. Specifically, the management device 210 includes a determination means 211 for determining the most optimal installation location as the relocation destination of the first mobility unit 11 from among the plurality of installation locations 21, 22. In addition, the management device 210 includes a creation means 212 for creating the driver's schedule based on the determination result by the determination means 211 and transmitting it to the driver terminal 120. In addition, the management device 210 includes an intermediation means 213 for transmitting the information regarding the unusable items sent from one user terminal 130 to other user terminals 130.

[0089] [Unusable item registration process] FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing an example of the unnecessary item registration process in the management device 210 of the present embodiment. First, the management device 210 determines whether there has been a login from any one of the plurality of user terminals 130 (step S31). If there has been a login from the user terminal 130 (step S31; Yes), the management device 210 determines, by the mediation means 213, whether the user terminal 130 wishes to register an unnecessary item (step S32). For example, on the user terminal 130, a selection screen for selecting "unnecessary item registration" or "usage reservation" is displayed after login, and it is determined that the user wishes to register an unnecessary item if "unnecessary item registration" is selected on this screen.

[0090] If the user terminal 130 wishes to register an unnecessary item (step S32; Yes), the mediation means 213 transmits unnecessary item registration screen display data to the user terminal 130 via the communication network N (step S33). As a result, an unnecessary item registration screen is displayed on the user terminal 130, and on this screen, the user who possesses and uses the user terminal 130 inputs information about the unnecessary item (or the unnecessary item planned to be stored) stored in the first mobility unit 11.

[0091] Next, the mediation means 213 determines whether it has received unnecessary item registration information from the user terminal 130 (step S34). When information about the unnecessary item is input by the user who possesses and uses the user terminal 130, the user terminal 130 transmits unnecessary item registration information including the information about the unnecessary item to the management device 210 via the communication network N.

[0092] When the management means 213 receives the unwanted item registration information from the user terminal 130 (step S34; Yes), the management means 213 stores the unwanted item registration information in the storage unit of the management device 210 (step S35). The unwanted item registration information includes information about the unwanted item (such as price, features, image, etc.) and the corresponding first installation location 21. The corresponding first installation location 21 is the first installation location 21 that can be used by the user who possesses and uses the user terminal 130 that has sent the unwanted item registration information. That is, when the user who possesses and uses the user terminal 130 that has sent the unwanted item registration information is a resident of the apartment complex A, the corresponding first installation location 21 is the vacant lot A.

[0093] [Reservation processing] FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing an example of the reservation processing in the management device 210 of the present embodiment. First, the management device 210 determines whether there has been a login from any of the plurality of user terminals 130 (step S41). When there has been a login from the user terminal 130 (step S41; Yes), the management device 210 determines, by the mediation means 213, whether the user terminal 130 wishes to make a reservation (step S42). For example, a selection screen for selecting whether to register an unwanted item or make a reservation is displayed on the user terminal 130 after login, and it is determined that the user wishes to make a reservation when "reservation" is selected on this screen.

[0094] When the user terminal 130 wishes to make a reservation (step S42; Yes), the mediation means 213 transmits the reservation screen display data to the user terminal 130 via the communication network N (step S43). As a result, a reservation screen is displayed on the user terminal 130, and on this screen, the user who possesses and uses the user terminal 130 makes a reservation for the use of the first mobility unit 11. The reservation screen in the present embodiment is, for example, an unwanted item list screen on which a list of the unwanted item registration information stored in the storage unit of the management device 210 is displayed.

[0095] Next, the mediation means 213 determines whether or not utilization reservation information has been received from the user terminal 130 (step S44). When a utilization reservation of the first mobility unit 11 is made by the user who possesses and uses the user terminal 130, the user terminal 130 transmits utilization reservation information regarding the utilization reservation to the management device 210 via the communication network N. For example, when a resident of the apartment house A makes a reservation to use the mobility unit B using his or her own user terminal 130 (when making a reservation to purchase unnecessary items stored in the mobility unit B), utilization reservation information regarding the reservation to use the mobility unit B is transmitted from the user terminal 130 to the management device 210.

[0096] When utilization reservation information is received from the user terminal 130 (step S44; Yes), the mediation means 213 stores the utilization reservation information in the storage unit of the management device 210 (step S45). The utilization reservation information includes the first mobility unit 11 to be used (desired unit information), the unnecessary items to be purchased, and the corresponding first installation location 21 (desired location information). The corresponding first installation location 21 is a first installation location 21 that can be used by the user who possesses and uses the user terminal 130 that has transmitted the utilization reservation information. That is, when the user who possesses and uses the user terminal 130 that has transmitted the utilization reservation information is a resident of the apartment house A, the corresponding first installation location 21 is the vacant lot A. A utilization reservation list is stored in the management device 210. As shown in FIG. 13, the utilization reservation list in the present embodiment is a list in which the first mobility unit 11 and the first installation location 21 are associated with each other.

[0097] For example, when a resident of apartment building A makes a reservation to use mobility unit B using their own user terminal 130, the reservation information includes "mobility unit B" as the first mobility unit 11 to be used (the first mobility unit 11 in which the unwanted items to be purchased are stored), and "open space A" as the corresponding first installation location 21. When receiving this reservation information, the mediation means 213 updates +1 a specific column (the column where the first mobility unit 11 is "mobility unit B" and the first installation location 21 is "open space A") in the reservation list stored in the management device 210. The specific column is cleared to 0, for example, when the open space A is determined by the determination means 211 to be the optimal relocation destination for the mobility unit B.

[0098] For example, since the mobility unit A is the first mobility unit 11 dedicated to the residents of apartment building A, it usually stops at the open space A (the first installation location 21 within the premises of apartment building A), and will always return to the open space A even if it is relocated to other first installation locations 21. Therefore, when a resident Y who is a resident of apartment building A wants to purchase the unwanted items (the unwanted items stored in the mobility unit A by resident X who is a resident of apartment building A) produced by resident X who is a resident of apartment building A, resident Y can pick up and view the unwanted items produced by resident X without making a reservation to use the mobility unit A as long as the mobility unit A is stopped at the open space A, or can pick up and view the unwanted items produced by resident X as long as the mobility unit A returns to the open space A even if it has been relocated to other first installation locations 21. Therefore, in this embodiment, although reservations to use the mobility unit A by the residents of apartment building A are not accepted, it is not limited to this. The same applies to reservations to use mobility units B to G.

[0099] [Schedule creation process] FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing an example of the schedule creation process in the management device 210 of this embodiment. First, the management device 210 determines whether it is the schedule creation timing (step S51). The schedule creation timing is, for example, a predetermined time zone (e.g., around 18:00) on the day before the day when the first mobility unit 11 is relocated. The day when the first mobility unit 11 is relocated may be every day, may be a predetermined day of the week (e.g., Tuesday and Thursday), or may be a predetermined date (e.g., a date with 5).

[0100] If it is the schedule creation timing (step S51; Yes), the management device 210 determines an available second mobility unit 12 from among the plurality of second mobility units 12 based on the desired unit information from the user terminal 130 by the determination means 111 and the creation means 112, and determines the movement route of the mobility units 11 and 12 based on the desired location information from the user terminal 130.

[0101] More specifically, the management device 110 first determines, by the determination means 211, an optimal installation location as the relocation destination of the first mobility unit 11 from among the plurality of first installation locations 21 (step S52). Specifically, the determination means 211 determines the optimal relocation destination of the first mobility unit 11 based on the aggregation result in the usage reservation list stored in the management device 210.

[0102] The determination means 211 first determines whether there is a mobility unit in which the maintenance period starts the next day among the first mobility units 11. In the present embodiment, maintenance (including regular inspections and vehicle inspections, etc.) of the first mobility unit 11 is performed at the base (second installation location 22). Here, assume that the mobility unit C is a mobility unit whose maintenance period starts the next day. In that case, the determination means 211 determines the base (the second installation location 22) as the optimal relocation destination of the mobility unit C. Then, the determination means 211 omits the following determination for the first mobility unit 11 whose maintenance period starts the next day and the first mobility unit 11 during the maintenance period (that is, the first mobility unit 11 currently at the second installation location 22).

[0103] Next, the determination means 211 determines whether the first installation location 21 satisfies the first condition. Specifically, the first installation location 21 that satisfies the first condition is, for example, the first installation location 21 where the reservation number is equal to or more than a predetermined number (for example, 20), and is the first installation location 21 with the largest reservation number. In the case of the example shown in FIG. 13, for the mobility unit A, the first installation location 21 that satisfies the first condition is the vacant lot G. Also, for the mobility unit D, the first installation location 21 that satisfies the first condition is the vacant lot B. Also, for the mobility unit E, the first installation location 21 that satisfies the first condition is the vacant lot D. Also, for the mobility unit G, the first installation location 21 that satisfies the first condition is the vacant lot B. For the other first mobility units 11 (mobility unit B, mobility unit F), there is no first installation location 21 that satisfies the first condition. Note that since the mobility unit C is the first mobility unit 11 whose maintenance period starts the next day, the determination as to whether the first installation location 21 satisfies the first condition is not performed for the mobility unit C.

[0104] Next, the determination means 211 determines whether the first installation location 21 that satisfies the first condition satisfies the second condition. Specifically, the first installation location 21 that satisfies the second condition is, for example, the first installation location 21 where the number of times the first installation location 21 is determined to satisfy the first condition is equal to or less than the number of units of the first mobility unit 11 that can be installed at the first installation location 21. In the case of the example shown in FIG. 13, the number of times the vacant land B is determined to satisfy the first condition is two times. In the case of the present embodiment, since the number of the first mobility units 11 that can be installed on the vacant land B is one, the vacant land B does not satisfy the second condition. Note that, when the number of the first mobility units 11 that can be installed on the vacant land B is two or more, the vacant land B satisfies the second condition. Therefore, in this case, the vacant land B (the first installation location 21) is determined as the optimal relocation destination for the mobility unit D and the mobility unit G.

[0105] Also, the number of times the vacant land D is determined to satisfy the first condition is one time. In the case of the present embodiment, since the number of the first mobility units 11 that can be installed on the vacant land D is one, the vacant land D satisfies the second condition. Therefore, the determination means 211 determines the vacant land D (the first installation location 21) as the optimal relocation destination for the mobility unit E. Also, the number of times the vacant land G is determined to satisfy the first condition is one time. In the case of the present embodiment, since the number of the first mobility units 11 that can be installed on the vacant land G is one, the vacant land G satisfies the second condition. Therefore, the determination means 211 determines the vacant land G (the first installation location 21) as the optimal relocation destination for the mobility unit A.

[0106] Next, the determination means 211 selects the first mobility unit 11 for which the first installation location 21 that does not satisfy the second condition becomes the optimal relocation destination. In the case of the example shown in FIG. 13, the vacant land B is the first installation location 21 that does not satisfy the second condition. The first mobility units 11 for which the vacant land B satisfies the first condition are the mobility unit D and the mobility unit G, and among these, the one with the larger number of reservations is the mobility unit D. Therefore, the determination means 211 determines the vacant land B (the first installation location 21) as the optimal relocation destination for the mobility unit D.

[0107] Next, the determination means 211 determines the relocation destination of the first mobility unit 11 for which the relocation destination has not been determined. Here, the optimal relocation destination of mobility unit A is determined to be vacant lot G, the optimal relocation destination of mobility unit C is determined to be the base (second installation location 22), the optimal relocation destination of mobility unit D is determined to be vacant lot B, and the optimal relocation destination of mobility unit E is determined to be vacant lot D. Therefore, the first mobility units 11 for which the relocation destination has not been determined are mobility unit B, mobility unit F, and mobility unit G, and the first installation locations 21 that have not been selected as the relocation destination are vacant lot A, vacant lot C, vacant lot E, and vacant lot F.

[0108] The fewer the number of first mobility units 11 relocated in one day, the more labor can be saved for the driver. Therefore, the determination means 211 determines vacant lot F (first installation location 21) as the optimal relocation destination of mobility unit F. As a result, mobility unit F is not installed at other first installation locations 21 and remains installed at vacant lot F. Also, the shorter the distance from the installation location before relocation to the installation location after relocation, the more efficiently the relocation can be performed. In the case of this embodiment, among vacant lot A, vacant lot C, and vacant lot E, the closest to vacant lot B is vacant lot A, and the closest to vacant lot G is vacant lot C. Therefore, the determination means 211 determines vacant lot A (first installation location 21) as the optimal relocation destination of mobility unit B and determines vacant lot C (first installation location 21) as the optimal relocation destination of mobility unit G. In the above manner, the optimal relocation destination of the first mobility units 11 is determined, but the method for determining the optimal relocation destination is not limited to this.

[0109] Next, the management device 210 creates (step S53) the driver's schedule based on the determination result by the determination means 211 and the position information etc. of the first installation location 21 by the creation means 212, and transmits it to the driver terminal 120 (step S54). As a result, a screen as shown in FIG. 14 is displayed on the display unit of the driver terminal 120. In the case of the example shown in Fig. 14, first, in order to relocate the mobility unit E to the optimal relocation destination (here, the vacant lot D), the mobility unit E is towed and transported by the vehicle driven by the driver. Specifically, starting from the vacant lot E (the installation location before relocation) at 8:00 (the relocation start time), it arrives at the vacant lot D (the installation location after relocation) at 8:15 (the relocation end time).

[0110] Next, in order to relocate the mobility unit D to the optimal relocation destination (here, the vacant lot B), the mobility unit D is towed and transported by the vehicle driven by the driver. Specifically, starting from the vacant lot D (the installation location before relocation) at 8:25 (the relocation start time), it arrives at the vacant lot B (the installation location after relocation) at 8:40 (the relocation end time). Next, in order to relocate the mobility unit B to the optimal relocation destination (here, the vacant lot A), the mobility unit B is towed and transported by the vehicle driven by the driver. Specifically, starting from the vacant lot B (the installation location before relocation) at 8:50 (the relocation start time), it arrives at the vacant lot A (the installation location after relocation) at 9:00 (the relocation end time). Next, in order to relocate the mobility unit A to the optimal relocation destination (here, the vacant lot G), the mobility unit A is towed and transported by the vehicle driven by the driver. Specifically, starting from the vacant lot A (the installation location before relocation) at 9:10 (the relocation start time), it arrives at the vacant lot G (the installation location after relocation) at 9:40 (the relocation end time). Next, in order to relocate the mobility unit G to the optimal relocation destination (the vacant lot C), the mobility unit G is towed and transported by the vehicle driven by the driver. Specifically, starting from the vacant lot G (the installation location before relocation) at 9:50 (the relocation start time), it arrives at the vacant lot C (the installation location after relocation) at 10:00 (the relocation end time).

[0111] Finally, in order to relocate the mobility unit C to the optimal relocation destination (the base), the mobility unit C is towed and transported by the vehicle driven by the driver. Specifically, starting from the vacant lot C (the installation location before relocation) at 10:10 (the relocation start time), it arrives at the base (the installation location after relocation) at 11:00 (the relocation end time). As a result, the state shown in Fig. 8(a) changes to the state shown in Fig. 8(b).

[0112] According to the second embodiment, the following excellent effects can be achieved. The management device 210 of the second embodiment is a management device capable of communicating with the user terminal 130 used by the user who uses the first mobility unit 11. In the management device 210, the current position information of a plurality of first mobility units 11 and the installation location information regarding the installation locations 21 and 22 where the first mobility units 11 can be installed are registered. The management device 210 can receive the desired unit information regarding the first mobility unit 11 that the user wishes to use and the desired location information regarding the installation location 21 that the user wishes to use, which are information from the user terminal 130. Based on the desired unit information, it determines an available first mobility unit 11 from among the plurality of first mobility units 11, and based on the desired location information, it determines the movement route of the first mobility unit 11.

[0113] Therefore, based on the desired unit information from the user, an available first mobility unit 11 is determined from among the plurality of first mobility units 11, and based on the desired location information from the user, the movement route of the first mobility unit 11 is determined, so that the mobility unit 11 can be effectively utilized. The desired location information regarding the installation location 21 that the user wishes to use may be information regarding the installation location 21 input by the user operating the user terminal 130, may be information based on the user's address information, or may be information based on the GPS information of the user terminal 130 used by the user.

[0114] In addition, the management device 110 of the first embodiment can communicate with the driver terminal 120 used by the driver of the vehicle that towes the mobility unit (the first mobility unit 11). By configuring in this way, it becomes possible to transmit to the driver terminal 120 the available first mobility unit 11 determined based on the desired unit information from the user, and the movement route of the first mobility unit 11 determined based on the desired location information from the user.

[0115] Further, the management device 110 of the first embodiment includes a determination means 211 for determining the optimal installation location as the relocation destination of the mobility unit (first mobility unit 11) from among a plurality of installation locations (first installation location 21), and a creation means 212 for creating a schedule based on the determination result by the determination means 211 and transmitting it to the driver terminal 120. With one vehicle, it is possible to relocate a plurality of mobility units (first mobility units 11) at different times during a day. The schedule is information including the installation location before relocation and the relocation start time, and the installation location after relocation and the relocation end time for each mobility unit (first mobility unit 11). By configuring in this way, since a schedule for relocating a plurality of mobility units (first mobility units 11) at different times during a day is transmitted to the driver terminal 120, the plurality of mobility units (first mobility units 11) can be relocated to various installation locations (first installation location 21), and it becomes possible to effectively utilize the mobility units (first mobility units 11).

[0116] Further, in the management device 210 of the second embodiment, the determination means 211 can receive a reservation for using the mobility unit (first mobility unit 11) from the user terminal 130 and make the above determination based on the reservation status. By configuring in this way, based on the reservation status of the use reservation, it is possible to determine the optimal installation location as the relocation destination of the mobility unit (first mobility unit 11) from among a plurality of installation locations (first installation location 21), so that it becomes possible to efficiently relocate the mobility unit (first mobility unit 11).

[0117] Also, in the management device 210 of the second embodiment, the user lives near a predetermined installation location (e.g., vacant lot A) among a plurality of installation locations (first installation location 21). Using the user terminal 130, the user usually makes a reservation for using the mobility unit (first mobility unit 11) installed at an installation location other than the predetermined installation location (e.g., any one of vacant lots B to G). The determination means 211 can determine whether to relocate the mobility unit (first mobility unit 11) to the predetermined installation location (e.g., vacant lot A) based on the reservation status of the mobility unit. With this configuration, the user can, just by making a reservation, call the mobility unit (first mobility unit 11) installed at another installation location (first installation location 21 which is not near the user's residence) to an installation location (first installation location 21) near the user's residence, which is convenient to use.

[0118] Also, in the management device 210 of the second embodiment, it is possible to store the user's unwanted items in the mobility unit (first mobility unit 11). The management device 210 includes an intermediation means 213 for transmitting information about the unwanted items sent from one user terminal 130 to another user terminal 130. The user of the other user terminal 130 can make a reservation for using the mobility unit (first mobility unit 11) in which the desired unwanted items are stored by using the other user terminal 130. With this configuration, the user can, just by making a reservation, call the mobility unit (first mobility unit 11) in which the desired unwanted items are stored to an installation location (first installation location 21) near the user's residence. Therefore, when the user wants to purchase unwanted items (unwanted items for other users), the user can purchase them after actually picking up the items and checking their condition, etc., thus eliminating the demerit of buying and selling goods using a flea market app (unable to check the goods before purchasing the goods).

[0119] The mobility unit movement system 200 of the second embodiment includes a management device 210 and a user terminal 130. Therefore, based on the desired unit information from the user, an available first mobility unit 11 is determined from among the plurality of second mobility units 11, and based on the desired location information from the user, the movement route of the first mobility unit 11 is determined, so that the mobility unit can be effectively utilized.

[0120] The program of the second embodiment can communicate with the user terminal 130 used by the user who uses the first mobility unit 11, and the current location information of the plurality of first mobility units 11 and the installation location information regarding the installation locations 21, 22 where the first mobility unit 11 can be installed are registered in the management device 210. The management device 210 can receive, from the user terminal 130, the desired unit information regarding the first mobility unit 11 that the user wishes to use and the desired location information regarding the installation location 21 where the user wishes to use it. Based on the desired unit information, an available first mobility unit 11 is determined from among the plurality of first mobility units 11, and based on the desired location information, the movement route of the first mobility unit 11 can be determined. Therefore, based on the desired unit information from the user, an available first mobility unit 11 is determined from among the plurality of first mobility units 11, and based on the desired location information from the user, the movement route of the first mobility unit 11 is determined, so that the mobility unit can be effectively utilized.

[0121] Note that, as shown in FIG. 9(b), the management device 210 may be communicable with a vehicle 140 that towes the mobility unit (first mobility unit 11) instead of (or in addition to) the driver terminal 120. In this case, the creation means 212 transmits the created schedule to the vehicle 140. As a result, the schedule is displayed on a display unit (for example, the screen of a car navigation device) provided in the vehicle 140. Further, in this case, the vehicle 140 may be capable of autonomous driving based on the schedule from the creation means 212.

[0122] In recent years, the achievement of the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) has been demanded, and various initiatives have been promoted in the construction industry as well. In the first and second embodiments, by installing the first mobility unit 11 in an open space (first installation location 21) within the site of an apartment building composed of a plurality of rental houses, it is possible to solve the problems of rental houses (such as no study space and narrow storage space). Therefore, by simply installing the first mobility unit 11 within the site, the problems can be solved, so the opportunity to demolish the apartment building is reduced. As a result, it can contribute to the achievement of SDGs Goal 7, "Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all", Goal 11, "Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable", Goal 13, "Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts", etc.
