[0013] The power supply equipment 71 is equipment that wirelessly supplies power to the aircraft and the vehicle.

[0014] The information processing device 100 generates aircraft power supply information including the power supply time when the power supply facility 71, which wirelessly supplies power to the vehicle and the aircraft, supplies power to the aircraft.

[0015] (Example of functional configuration of information processing device 100) The information processing device 100 includes a flight situation acquisition unit 120 and a first generation unit 150, as shown in FIG.

[0016] The flight status acquisition unit 120 acquires flight status information relating to the flight status of the aircraft.

[0017] The first generating unit 150 uses the flight status information to generate aircraft power supply information including the power supply time when the power supply equipment 71, which wirelessly supplies power to the aircraft and the vehicle, supplies power to the aircraft.

[0018] (Example of operation of information processing device 100) The information processing device 100 executes information processing such as that shown in FIG.

[0019] The flight status acquisition unit 120 acquires flight status information relating to the flight status of the aircraft (step S111).

[0020] The first generating unit 150 uses the flight status information to generate aircraft power supply information including the power supply time when the power supply equipment 71, which wirelessly supplies power to the aircraft and the vehicle, supplies power to the aircraft (step S114).

[0021] (Actions and Effects) As described above, according to this embodiment, the power supply equipment that wirelessly supplies power to the aircraft and the vehicle can be used to supply power to the aircraft in accordance with the aircraft power supply information. Therefore, it becomes possible for the aircraft and the vehicle to share the power supply equipment.

[0022] [Embodiment 2] In this embodiment, a detailed example of the information processing system described in embodiment 1 will be described. Note that in this embodiment, for simplicity of explanation, explanations that overlap with other embodiments will be omitted as appropriate.

[0023] (Configuration example of information processing system S2) 4, the information processing system S2 is a system for managing power supply from a power supply facility 71 installed at a power supply location to an air vehicle 50 and a vehicle 60. The information processing system S2 includes at least one air vehicle 50, at least one vehicle 60, a power supply system 70, and an information processing device 200.

[0024] The devices constituting the information processing system S2 (aircraft 50, vehicle 60, power supply system 70, information processing device 200) are connected to each other via, for example, a communication network NT, and may transmit and receive information to and from each other via the communication network NT. The communication network NT is, for example, a wired network, a wireless network, or a network configured by a combination of these.

[0025] The information processing system S2 may include a plurality of power supply systems 70. The flying object 50 and the vehicle 60 are examples of targets (power supply targets) to which the power supply equipment 71 wirelessly supplies power, and the power supply targets are not limited to these.

[0026] (About Aircraft 50) The flying object 50 is, for example, an flying object that uses electric power for its operation. The flying object 50 is, for example, a drone or the like, and flies using electric power as a power source.

[0027] The flying object 50 includes, for example, a first rechargeable storage battery 51, a first power receiving unit 52 that receives power wirelessly, and a first communication unit 53.

[0028] The first storage battery 51 stores, for example, power to be supplied to a motor or the like that is a prime mover for flying the aircraft 50. The first storage battery 51 may be physically composed of, for example, a lithium ion battery, a lithium polymer battery, or the like, but is not limited to these.

[0029] For example, when first power receiving unit 52 receives power supplied wirelessly from power supply equipment 71 or the like, first power receiving unit 52 supplies the power to first storage battery 51. As a result, first power receiving unit 52 charges first storage battery 51 using the power supplied wirelessly from power supply equipment 71 or the like. First power receiving unit 52 is physically configured by, for example, a coil, an electric circuit, etc.

[0030] The physical elements constituting the first storage battery 51 and the first power receiving unit 52 are not limited to the above examples. Although not shown, the flying object 50 may further include a configuration for charging the first storage battery 51 using power supplied via a wire.

[0031] The first communication unit 53 communicates with other devices, etc., to transmit and receive various types of information to and from them. The first communication unit 53 communicates with the information processing device 200, for example.

[0032] The first communication unit 53 may communicate with the information processing device 200 via another relay device (not shown). For example, the information processing system S2 may further include one or more air vehicle management devices for managing one or more air vehicles 50, and the first communication unit 53 may communicate with the information processing device 200 via the air vehicle management devices.

[0033] (Regarding vehicle 60) The vehicle 60 is, for example, a vehicle that uses electric power for its operation. The vehicle 60 is, for example, an electric vehicle or the like, and is a vehicle that runs using electric power as a power source.

[0034] Vehicle 60 includes, for example, a second rechargeable battery 61 and a second power receiving unit 62 that receives power wirelessly.

[0035] The second storage battery 61 stores, for example, power to be supplied to a motor or the like that is a prime mover for running the vehicle 60. The second storage battery 61 may be physically composed of, for example, a lead storage battery, a lithium ion battery, a nickel-metal hydride battery, a nickel-cadmium battery, an all-solid-state battery, or the like, but is not limited to these.

[0036] For example, when the second power receiving unit 62 receives power supplied wirelessly from the power supply equipment 71 or the like, the second power receiving unit 62 supplies the power to the second storage battery 61. As a result, the second power receiving unit 62 charges the second storage battery 61 using the power supplied wirelessly from the power supply equipment 71 or the like. The second power receiving unit 62 is physically configured by, for example, a coil, an electric circuit, etc.

[0037] The physical elements constituting the second storage battery 61 and the second power receiving unit 62 are not limited to the above examples. Although not shown, the vehicle 60 may further include a configuration for charging the second storage battery 61 using power supplied via a wire.

[0038] (Regarding the power supply system 70) The power supply system 70 is a system for wirelessly supplying power to the flying object 50 and the vehicle 60, and includes a plurality of power supply facilities 71a, 71b and a plurality of power supply control units 72a, 72b. Note that, although Fig. 4 shows an example in which there are two power supply facilities 71 and two power supply control units 72, there may be one power supply facility 71 and one power supply control unit 72, or three or more power supply facilities 71 and two power supply control units 72.

[0039] Hereinafter, when there is no particular distinction between the power feeding devices 71a and 71b, each of the power feeding devices 71a and 71b will also be referred to as "power feeding device 71." Furthermore, when there is no particular distinction between the power feeding control devices 72a and 72b, each of the power feeding control devices 72a and 72b will also be referred to as "power feeding control device 72."

[0040] (About Power Supply Equipment 71 (Power Supply Section PS)) The power supply equipment 71 is equipment that supplies power wirelessly. In this embodiment, an example will be described in which the location where the power supply equipment 71 is installed (i.e., the power supply location) is a road R. FIG. 4 shows an example in which the power supply equipment 71a, 71b are installed in lane L1 of lanes L1, L2 that make up the road R. The power supply location is a location where one or more power supply equipment 71 are installed, and may be a vehicle traffic area where the vehicle 60 travels, and may include, for example, a parking lot in addition to the road R. Furthermore, there may be more than one power supply location.

[0041] For example, the power supply facility 71 is composed of at least one power supply unit PS installed on road R. For example, the power supply facility 71 has at least one power supply unit PS operating under the control of a power supply control unit 72, which will be described in detail later. As a result, the power supply facility 71 wirelessly supplies power to, for example, an air vehicle 50 located within a predetermined range from the power supply facility 71, or a vehicle 60 passing by the power supply facility 71. Here, the vehicle 60 passing by road R may be, for example, a vehicle 60 traveling on road R, or a vehicle 60 parked in a parking area set up on road R.

[0042] Each of the power supply points PS may be physically constituted by a coil buried in the road R, for example.

[0043] The method of installing each of the power supply units PS is not limited to burying them, as long as they can wirelessly supply power to vehicles 60 traveling on road R. The elements that physically configure each of the power supply units PS are not limited to the above examples.

[0044] (Regarding the power supply control unit 72) The power supply control units 72 are associated with the power supply equipment 71 and control the associated power supply equipment 71. For example, the power supply control unit 72a is associated with the power supply equipment 71a and controls the power supply equipment 71a. For example, the power supply control unit 72b is associated with the power supply equipment 71b and controls the power supply equipment 71b.

[0045] There may be various methods for associating the power supply control unit 72 with the power supply equipment 71, but for example, They may be associated with each other by being connected by wiring, etc. In the present embodiment, an example in which one power supply device 71 is associated with the power supply control unit 72 will be described, but a plurality of power supply devices 71 that are individually controlled may be associated with the power supply control unit 72.

[0046] The power supply control unit 72 includes a power characteristics control unit 73, a power supply record generating unit 74, and a second communication unit 75, for example, as shown in FIG.

[0047] The power characteristics control unit 73 controls the characteristics (i.e., power characteristics) of the power supplied by the associated power supply equipment 71. The power characteristics may include, for example, at least one of the frequency, magnitude, direction, etc. of the power. Note that the power characteristics are not limited to those exemplified here.

[0048] For example, the power characteristics control unit 73 may control the power characteristics of the power supply equipment 71 according to the power supply mode.

[0049] The power supply mode includes, for example, a first power supply mode and a second power supply mode according to the power supply target.

[0050] The first power supply mode is a power supply mode when the power supply target is the flying object 50. In other words, the first power supply mode is a power supply mode for supplying power to the flying object 50 wirelessly.

[0051] The second power supply mode is a power supply mode when the power supply target is the vehicle 60. That is, the second power supply mode is a power supply mode for supplying power to the vehicle 60 wirelessly.

[0052] In this way, the power supply control unit 72 controls the power supply mode, so that power can be selectively supplied wirelessly to the flying object 50 and the vehicle 60.

[0053] The power characteristics control unit 73 may be physically configured, for example, by an electric circuit that supplies power to the power supply facility 71 (power supply unit PS), an electric circuit that controls the power, etc. However, the elements that physically configure the power characteristics control unit 73 are not limited to these.

[0054] (Regarding the power supply record generating unit 74) The power supply record generating unit 74 generates power supply record information indicating the record of power supply from the power supply equipment 71.

[0055] (Regarding the second communication unit 75) The second communication unit 75 communicates with other devices, etc., to transmit and receive various information to and from them. The second communication unit 75 may communicate with the information processing device 200, the aircraft 50, the vehicle 60, etc., for example.

[0056] The power supply record generating unit 74 and the second communication unit 75 may be physically configured, for example, by a computer such as a microcomputer connected to the power supply control unit 72, but are not limited to this.

[0057] (Regarding the information processing device 200) The information processing device 200 is a device that manages the power supply of the power supply facility 71, and includes the above-described flight status acquisition unit 120 and first generation unit 150, as shown in Fig. 6, for example. The information processing device 200 further includes a power supply target storage unit 110, a registration unit 115, a usage status acquisition unit 130, a weather information acquisition unit 140, an output unit 160, a power supply mode instruction unit 170, a power supply history storage unit 180, a power supply record acquisition unit 185, and a billing unit 190, for example.

[0058] The power supply target storage unit 110 stores power supply target information for managing power supply targets.

[0059] The registration unit 115 stores the power supply target information in the power supply target storage unit 110.

[0060] The flight status acquisition unit 120 acquires flight status information relating to the flight status of the flying object 50, as described above.

[0061] The utilization status acquisition unit 130 acquires utilization status information relating to the utilization status of the power supply location.

[0062] The weather information acquisition unit 140 acquires weather information, which is information relating to the weather.

[0063] As described above, the first generation unit 150 uses flight status information to generate aircraft power supply information including the power supply period when the power supply equipment 71, which wirelessly supplies power to the aircraft 50 and the vehicle 60, supplies power to the aircraft 50.

[0064] The first generator 150 may generate the flying object power supply information by further using, for example, at least one of usage status information and weather information. That is, for example, the flying object power supply information may be generated by further using usage status information related to the usage status of the power supply location. Also, for example, the flying object power supply information may be generated by further using weather information.

[0065] In addition, if the first generation unit 150 generates aircraft power supply information without using one or both of usage status information and weather information, one or both of the usage status acquisition unit 130 and the weather information acquisition unit 140 do not need to be provided in the information processing device 200.

[0066] The output unit 160 outputs the aircraft power supply information.

[0067] The power supply mode instruction unit 170 outputs a switching instruction for switching the power supply mode of the power supply equipment 71 between the flying object 50 and the vehicle 60.

[0068] The power supply history storage unit 180 stores power supply history information including the history of power supply from the power supply equipment 71 to the power supply target.

[0069] The power supply record acquiring unit 185 acquires power supply record information indicating the record of power supply from the power supply equipment 71.

[0070] The billing unit 190 generates billing information including the fee for the power supplied from the power supply facility 71 to the power supply target for each management entity.

[0071] (Information processing: Example of registration processing) The information processing device 200 executes, for example, information processing as shown in Fig. 7. The information processing illustrated in the figure is an example of processing for registering power supply target information.

[0072] The registration unit 115 acquires power supply target information (step S101).

[0073] The registration unit 115 stores the power supply target information acquired in step S101 in the power supply target storage unit 110 (step S102).

[0074] (Information processing: Example of power supply management processing) The information processing device 200 executes, for example, information processing as shown in Fig. 8. The information processing illustrated in Fig. 8 is an example of processing for determining a plan for power supply from the power supply facility 71.

[0075] As described above, the flight status acquisition unit 120 acquires flight status information relating to the flight status of the flying object 50 (step S111).

[0076] The utilization status acquisition unit 130 acquires utilization status information relating to the utilization status of the power supply location (step S112).

[0077] The weather information acquisition unit 140 acquires weather information, which is information relating to the weather (step S113).

[0078] As described above, the first generation unit 150 uses the flight status information to generate aircraft power supply information including the power supply period when the power supply equipment 71, which wirelessly supplies power to the aircraft 50 and the vehicle 60, supplies power to the aircraft 50 (step S114).

[0079] In step S114, for example, the first generator 150 may generate the flying object power supply information by further using at least one of the usage status information and the weather information. That is, for example, the flying object power supply information may be generated by further using the usage status information regarding the usage status of the power supply location. Also, for example, the flying object power supply information may be generated by further using the weather information.

[0080] In addition, if the flying object power supply information is generated without using one or both of the usage status information and the weather information, one or both of step S112 and step S113 may not be executed.

[0081] The output unit 160 outputs the aircraft power supply information (step S115).

[0082] (Example of information processing: power supply processing) The information processing system S2 executes, for example, information processing as shown in Fig. 9. The information processing illustrated in Fig. 9 is an example of processing by the information processing device 200 and the power supply system 70 to supply power to a power supply target.

[0083] The power supply mode instructing unit 170 outputs a switching instruction to switch the power supply mode of the power supply equipment 71 between the flying object 50 and the vehicle 60 (step S121).

[0084] The power characteristics control unit 73 acquires the switching instruction output in step S121 (step S122).

[0085] The power characteristics control unit 73 controls the power supply mode of the power supply equipment 71 in accordance with the switching instruction acquired in step S122 (step S123).

[0086] The power supply record generating unit 74 generates power supply record information indicating the record of power supply from the power supply equipment 71 (step S124).

[0087] The second communication unit 75 outputs the power supply history information generated in step S124 (step S125).

[0088] The power supply history obtaining unit 185 obtains the power supply history information output in step S125 (step S126).

[0089] The power supply record acquiring unit 185 stores the power supply history information in the power supply history storage unit 180 based on the power supply history information acquired in step S126 (step S127).

[0090] (Information processing: Example of billing processing) The information processing device 200 executes, for example, information processing as shown in Fig. 10. The information processing illustrated in Fig. 10 is an example of processing for charging a fee for power supplied from the power supply facility 71 to a power supply target.

[0091] The billing unit 190 generates, for each management entity, billing information including the fee for the power supplied from the power supply facility 71 to the power supply target (step S131).

[0092] The accounting unit 190 outputs the accounting information generated in step S131 (step S132).

[0093] (Regarding the power supply target storage unit 110) The power supply target storage unit 110 stores power supply target information. The power supply target information is information for managing the power supply targets. The power supply target information may be registered in advance in the power supply target storage unit 110, for example, so that the power supply targets receive power supply from the power supply equipment 71.

[0094] For example, the power supply target information may be information for managing at least one of the air vehicle 50 and the vehicle 60. For example, the power supply target information may be information that associates at least one of the air vehicle 50 and the vehicle 60 with a management entity that manages at least one of the air vehicle 50 and the vehicle 60.

[0095] In detail, for example, the power supply target information may include an air vehicle identification (ID), a vehicle ID, and a management entity ID.

[0096] The air vehicle ID is information for identifying the air vehicle 50. The vehicle ID is information for identifying the vehicle 60. For example, each of the air vehicle ID and the vehicle ID may be registration information at an administrative agency (e.g., the vehicle license plate number of the vehicle 60, the registration symbol of the drone, etc.).

[0097] Note that the air vehicle ID and vehicle ID are not limited to those exemplified here, and may be information consisting of a combination of one or more numbers, symbols, characters, etc. that are assigned as appropriate by the information processing device 200. In this case, the power supply target information may further be associated with, for example, registration information at an administrative agency, for each of the air vehicle ID and vehicle ID.

[0098] The management entity ID is information for identifying the management entity. The management entity ID may be, for example, information composed of a combination of one or more numbers, symbols, characters, etc. that are appropriately assigned by the information processing device 200, but is not limited to this.

[0099] The power supply target information may, for example, associate an air vehicle ID with a management entity ID of a management entity that manages the air vehicle 50 identified by the air vehicle ID. The power supply target information may, for example, associate a vehicle ID with a management entity ID of a management entity that manages the vehicle 60 identified by the vehicle ID.

[0100] (Regarding the registration unit 115) The registration unit 115 acquires the power supply target information from, for example, a terminal device (not shown) used by the management entity.

[0101] The air vehicle ID and vehicle ID may be held in the air vehicle 50 and vehicle 60 identified by the respective IDs. For example, the management entity may use a terminal device (smartphone, tablet terminal, etc.) not shown to read one or more air vehicle IDs and / or one or more vehicle IDs held in one or more air vehicles 50 and / or one or more vehicles 60, and output them to the information processing device 200. Then, the registration unit 115 may acquire one or more air vehicle IDs and / or one or more vehicle IDs and the management entity ID from the terminal device.

[0102] Here, "A and / or B" means that it can be either "A and B" or "A or B", and the same applies hereinafter.

[0103] The method by which the registration unit 115 acquires the power supply target information is not limited to the example given here. For example, the power supply target information may be acquired based on an input by a user of the information processing device 200. For example, the power supply target information may be acquired based on an input by a management entity to a terminal device (not shown).

[0104] (Regarding the flight status acquisition unit 120) The flight status acquisition unit 120 may acquire flight status information from each of one or more flying objects 50, for example.

[0105] In detail, for example, each of one or more flying objects 50 may store its own flight status information in advance, or may generate flight status information based on information from its own sensors, etc. Then, the flight status acquisition unit 120 may acquire the flight status information from, for example, the first communication unit 53.

[0106] Note that the method by which the flight status acquisition unit 120 acquires flight status information is not limited to this. For example, the flight status acquisition unit 120 may acquire flight status information from one or more flight object management devices (not shown) for managing the flight object 50 and / or the first communication unit 53. In this case, each of the flight object management devices may generate flight status information or acquire it from the flight object 50 based on, for example, instructions from the management entity, information from sensors provided on the flight object 50, preset information, etc.

[0107] (Flight status information) The flight status information is information relating to the flight status of the aircraft 50. The flight status information may be information relating to the flight status of each of one or more aircraft 50. The aircraft 50 included in the flight status information may be an aircraft 50 in flight or may be a parked aircraft 50.

[0108] The flight status may include at least one of a position and a charging status. That is, the flight status information may include, for example, at least one of flight position information regarding the position of the air vehicle 50 and a charging status of the air vehicle 50. The flight status may also include at least one of a past flight status (i.e., flight history), a current flight status, and a future flight status (i.e., flight schedule).

[0109] In detail, for example, the position of the air vehicle 50 may include at least one of a past flight position of the air vehicle 50, a current position of the air vehicle 50, and a future flight position of the air vehicle 50. The past flight position may be a past flight route. The future flight position may be a planned flight route. The flight status information may include a past flight position and its time, a current position and its current time, or a planned future flight position and its planned time.

[0110] A common technique may be used to acquire the position of the aircraft 50. For example, the aircraft 50 may have a function to acquire the position of the aircraft 50 using a global positioning system (GPS). The position of such an aircraft 50 may include, for example, latitude and longitude, and may further include height from the ground (surface of road R). Note that the method of representing the position of the aircraft 50 is not limited to the example given here.

[0111] The charge state is, for example, the state of charge (SOC) of the first storage battery 51 mounted on the aircraft 50. The charge state may be expressed numerically, for example, with a fully charged state being 100% and a fully discharged state being 0%, but the way of expressing the charge state is not limited to this. The charge state included in the flight status information is, for example, the current charge state of the aircraft 50.

[0112] In addition, the flight status information may include the past charging state of the aircraft 50 (charging state history, charging history, etc.), and may also include the future charging state of the aircraft 50 (planned charging state).

[0113] (Regarding the usage status acquisition unit 130 and usage status information) The usage status acquisition unit 130 acquires usage status information as described above. The usage status information is information about the usage status of power supply locations. The usage status information may be, for example, information about the usage status of power supply locations within a predetermined range from the current position of the flying object 50 and / or the planned flight route.

[0114] The usage status information may include, for example, at least one of the usage status of the power supply facility 71 and the usage status of the road R on which the power supply facility 71 is installed. The usage status of the power supply facility 71 may include, for example, at least one of the past, present, and future usage status of the power supply facility 71. The usage status of the road R may include at least one of the past, present, and future usage status of the road R.

[0115] (Detailed Configuration Example of the Usage Status Acquisition Unit 130) The usage status acquisition unit 130 may include, for example, as shown in FIG. 11, a facility usage monitoring unit 131, a facility reservation memory unit 132, a facility reservation reception unit 133, a facility usage prediction unit 134, a traffic monitoring unit 135, and a traffic prediction unit 136.

[0116] The facility usage monitor 131 acquires the current usage status of the power supply facility 71 .

[0117] For example, the facility utilization monitor 131 may communicate with the second communication unit 75 and acquire the current utilization status of the power feeding facility 71 from the power feeding control unit 72.

[0118] The current usage status of the power supply equipment 71 may include, for example, whether the power supply equipment 71 is supplying power to the power supply target (i.e., whether the power supply equipment 71 is currently supplying power). The current usage status of the power supply equipment 71 may include, for example, information indicating the power supply target when the power supply equipment 71 is currently supplying power. The information indicating the power supply target may be, for example, information indicating the type of power supply target currently being supplied with power, i.e., for example, an air vehicle 50 or a vehicle 60. The information indicating the power supply target may be, for example, the air vehicle ID or vehicle ID of the power supply target currently being supplied with power.

[0119] The facility reservation storage unit 132 stores facility reservation information related to reservations for the power supply facility 71. The facility reservation information may include, for example, information related to reservations for using the power supply facility 71 to supply power to the flying object 50.

[0120] In this case, the facility reservation information may be, for example, information that associates facility identification information of the reserved power supply facility 71 with the reservation time.

[0121] Here, the facility identification information is information for identifying the power supply facility 71. The facility identification information may include, for example, a power supply facility ID for identifying the power supply facility 71, or may include the location where the power supply facility 71 is installed. The location may be expressed by latitude and longitude, a place name, a distance from a reference point on road R, or the like, but the method of expressing the location is not limited to these.

[0122] The reservation time is information indicating the time for which the power supply equipment 71 is reserved, and may include, for example, the start and end times for supplying power to the air vehicle 50, the start and duration of the time, etc. Each of the start and end times may be expressed, for example, as a date and time, but the method of expressing each of the reservation time, start and end times is not limited to the example given here.

[0123] The facility reservation receiving unit 133 receives facility reservation information.

[0124] The equipment reservation reception unit 133 receives equipment reservation information, for example, from a terminal device (not shown) used by the management entity. The equipment reservation reception unit 133 stores the received equipment reservation information in the equipment reservation storage unit 132. This allows the power supply equipment 71 to be reserved according to the wishes of the management entity of the flying object 50.

[0125] When a power supply facility 71 is reserved, the passage of vehicles 60 on the road R on which the power supply facility 71 is installed may be restricted in order to supply power to the air vehicle 50. Therefore, when reserving a power supply facility 71, the power supply facility 71 that can be reserved, time periods, etc. may be restricted using reservation conditions. The reservation conditions may be specified in advance using, for example, roads R or sections thereof where the traffic volume of vehicles 60 is less than a predetermined volume, time periods such as late night hours where the traffic volume of vehicles 60 is less than a predetermined volume, etc.

[0126] Furthermore, for example, reservations for the power supply facility 71 may be limited to cases where a certain amount of power is to be supplied to the air vehicle 50. In this case, the reservation conditions may include conditions regarding the fee for the power supplied from the power supply facility 71 to the air vehicle 50. In detail, for example, the reservation conditions may include a lower limit regarding the expected fee for the power supplied from the power supply facility 71 to the air vehicle 50.

[0127] Furthermore, for example, road R may be damaged due to a disaster or the like, making it impossible to transport supplies and the like to the disaster area using vehicle 60. In such a case, in order to make it easier to use air vehicles 50 to transport supplies and the like, reservation conditions may be specified, for example, to allow power supply equipment 71 installed within a predetermined range of road R leading to the disaster area to supply power to air vehicles 50 preferentially over vehicles 60. In this case, the reservation conditions may be, for example, a condition that, when there is a request to supply power to air vehicles 50 on a predetermined range of road R, the request is accepted and the passage of vehicles 60 on the predetermined range of road R is restricted.

[0128] The facility utilization prediction unit 134 acquires the future utilization status of the power supply facility 71 .

[0129] For example, the facility usage prediction unit 134 may predict the future usage status of the power supply facility 71 based on the past usage status of the power supply facility 71, facility reservation information, etc. When predicting the future usage status of the power supply facility 71 from the past usage status, various statistical processes may be used for this prediction, or a machine learning model for predicting the usage status may be used. Note that the prediction method is not limited to the one exemplified here, and various methods used for general prediction may be used, for example.

[0130] The traffic monitoring unit 135 acquires the current usage status of the road R.

[0131] For example, the traffic monitoring unit 135 may communicate with an external device (not shown) that provides traffic information and acquire from the external device the current usage status of the road R. The current usage status of the road R may include, for example, at least one of the traffic volume, whether or not there is congestion, and the section of the congestion if there is congestion.

[0132] The traffic prediction unit 136 acquires the future usage status of the road R. For example, the traffic prediction unit 136 may predict the future usage status of road R based on the past usage status of road R. When predicting the future usage status of road R from the past usage status, various statistical processes may be used for this prediction, or a machine learning model for predicting the usage status may be used. Note that the prediction method is not limited to the one exemplified here, and various methods used for general prediction may be used, for example.

[0133] Furthermore, for example, the traffic prediction unit 136 may communicate with an external device (not shown) that provides traffic prediction information, and acquire the future usage status of the road R from the external device.

[0134] (Regarding the weather information acquisition unit 140) As described above, the weather information acquisition unit 140 acquires weather information. The weather information acquisition unit 140 may acquire weather information relating to the power supply location, for example.

[0135] The weather information may include at least one of information about the current weather and information about future weather (weather forecast). The weather information may include at least one of information about rain, wind, lightning, temperature, humidity, etc. The rain information may include, for example, the amount of precipitation, information about whether the amount of precipitation is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold, or the probability of precipitation. The wind information may include, for example, the wind speed, or information about whether the wind speed is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold. The lightning information may include, for example, information about whether thunder is occurring. Note that the information included in the weather information is not limited to the examples given here.

[0136] (Regarding the first generation unit 150) The first generation unit 150 generates flying object power supply information using the flight status information.

[0137] As described above, the air vehicle power supply information includes the power supply time when the power supply equipment 71 supplies power to the air vehicle 50. The air vehicle power supply information may include, for example, equipment identification information for identifying the power supply equipment 71 selected from multiple power supply equipment 71 as the power supply equipment that supplies power to the air vehicle 50, and the power supply time when the selected power supply equipment 71 supplies power to the air vehicle 50.

[0138] As described above, the equipment identification information may include, for example, a power supply equipment ID for identifying the power supply equipment 71, and may also include the location where the power supply equipment 71 is installed. The power supply period is the period when the power supply equipment 71 supplies power to the air vehicle 50, and may include, for example, the start and end periods used to supply power to the air vehicle 50, the start and duration of the start and end periods, etc. Each of the start and end periods may be expressed, for example, as a date and time. Note that the method of expressing each of the power supply period, start and end periods is not limited to the example given here.

[0139] As described above, the flight status information may include, for example, flight position information regarding the position of the aircraft 50 and at least one of the charge state of the aircraft 50. In this case, the aircraft power supply information may be generated using, for example, the position of the power supply equipment 71 and at least one of the flight position information and the charge state. The position of the power supply equipment 71 may be stored in advance by, for example, the first generation unit 150.

[0140] In detail, for example, when the state of charge is equal to or lower than a predetermined value, the first generation unit 150 may select a power supply facility 71 located within a predetermined range from the position of the air vehicle 50, and generate air vehicle power supply information including facility identification information of the selected power supply facility 71. The first generation unit 150 may then determine an estimated time of arrival at the power supply facility 71. The first generation unit 150 may determine an estimated charging time, which is an estimated time required for charging to a predetermined charging rate, based on the state of charge. The first generation unit 150 may determine a power supply time using the determined estimated arrival time and estimated charging time, and generate air vehicle power supply information including the power supply time.

[0141] Furthermore, for example, the first generation unit 150 may select a power supply facility 71 located within a predetermined range from the predicted position of the air vehicle 50 at the time when the state of charge is predicted to be equal to or lower than a predetermined value, and generate air vehicle power supply information including facility identification information of the selected power supply facility 71. The predicted position of the air vehicle 50 may be determined, for example, using a planned flight route. Then, the first generation unit 150 may determine a predicted time of arrival at the power supply facility 71. The first generation unit 150 may determine a predicted charging time based on the state of charge. The first generation unit 150 may determine a power supply time using the determined predicted arrival time and the predicted charging time, and generate air vehicle power supply information including the power supply time.

[0142] For example, the first generating unit 150 may generate the flying object power supply information using the flight status information, the usage status information, and / or the weather information.

[0143] As described above, the usage status information may include, for example, at least one of the past, present, and future of the power supply facility 71 and / or the road R. In this case, at least one of the past, present, and future of the power supply facility 71 and / or the road R may be used to select the power supply facility 71 to be used to supply power to the air vehicle 50 and / or to determine the timing of the power supply.

[0144] For example, using the past usage status of the power supply equipment 71, in order to select the power supply equipment 71 that has been frequently used to supply power to the aircraft 50, the power supply equipment 71 that has been used to supply power to the aircraft 50 with a frequency equal to or greater than a predetermined value may be selected. In this case, in order to select the power supply equipment 71 that has been frequently used to supply power to the aircraft 50 in a time period that includes the predicted arrival time, the power supply equipment 71 that has been used to supply power to the aircraft 50 with a frequency equal to or greater than a predetermined value in a time period that includes the predicted arrival time may be selected.

[0145] For example, the current usage status of the power supply equipment 71 may be used to select a power supply equipment 71 that is not currently being used to supply power to the aircraft 50. In this case, the selected power supply equipment 71 may be the one that is closest to the current location of the aircraft 50. Furthermore, when selecting the power supply equipment 71 using other conditions (usage status, weather information, etc.), the selected power supply equipment 71 may be the one that is closest to the current location of the aircraft 50 among the power supply equipment 71 that satisfies the other conditions.

[0146] For example, using the future usage status of the power supply equipment 71, a power supply equipment 71 that is not expected to be used to supply power to the flying object 50 at the predicted arrival time may be selected.

[0147] For example, by using the past usage of road R, power supply equipment 71 installed on road R where traffic volume is below a predetermined value or where the frequency of traffic congestion is below a predetermined value during the time period including the estimated arrival time may be selected.

[0148] For example, using the current usage status of road R, power supply equipment 71 installed on road R where the current traffic volume on road R is below a predetermined value or where no congestion is currently occurring may be selected.

[0149] For example, using the future usage status of road R, power supply equipment 71 installed on road R where the expected traffic volume at the estimated arrival time is below a predetermined value or where congestion is not expected to occur may be selected.

[0150] For example, the first generating unit 150 may generate the flying object power supply information using the flight status information, the usage status information, and / or the weather information.

[0151] For example, using past, present, or future weather information, power supply equipment 71 may be selected where the amount of precipitation in the past, present, or future is less than a predetermined value (the predetermined value here includes zero). Using past, present, or future weather information, power supply equipment 71 installed inside a tunnel may be selected if the amount of precipitation in the past, present, or future is equal to or greater than a predetermined value (the predetermined value here includes zero). In detail, for example, using future weather information, power supply equipment 71 installed inside a tunnel may be selected if it is predicted that it will be raining on the planned flight route at the expected arrival time.

[0152] When generating flying object power supply information using flight status information, usage status information, and weather information, the above-described exemplary methods for selecting power supply equipment 71 and determining the power supply timing may be combined as appropriate. Note that the methods for selecting power supply equipment 71 and determining the power supply timing are not limited to those exemplified here.

[0153] (Regarding the output unit 160) The output unit 160, for example, transmits the generated air vehicle power supply information to the air vehicle 50. Note that the output method, output destination, etc. of the output unit 160 are not limited to this, and the air vehicle power supply information may be transmitted to the above-mentioned air vehicle management device (not shown).

[0154] This allows the aircraft to fly to the power supply facility 71 at the power supply time in accordance with the aircraft power supply information and charge using power from the power supply facility 71.

[0155] (Regarding the power supply mode instruction unit 170) The power supply mode instruction unit 170 outputs a switching instruction for switching the power supply mode of the power supply equipment 71 based on, for example, the flying object power supply information.

[0156] For example, the power supply mode of the power supply equipment 71 may be a second power supply mode for normally supplying power to the vehicle 60. Then, the power supply mode instructing unit 170 may transmit a switching instruction to switch the power supply mode of the power supply equipment 71 identified using the air vehicle power supply information to the power supply control unit 72 that controls the power supply equipment 71 to the first power supply mode. This switching instruction may further include switching to the power supply timing included in the air vehicle power supply information. As a result, the power supply control unit 72 switches the power supply mode of the power supply equipment 71 to the first power supply mode at the power supply timing in accordance with the switching instruction.

[0157] (Regarding the power supply history storage unit 180) As described above, the power supply history storage unit 180 stores power supply history information. The power supply history information is information including a history of power supply from the power supply facility 71 to a power supply target. The power supply history information may include, for example, at least one of an air vehicle power supply history in which power is supplied from the power supply facility 71 to the air vehicle 50 and a vehicle power supply history in which power is supplied from the power supply facility 71 to the vehicle 60.

[0158] The air vehicle power supply history may include, for example, the air vehicle ID of the air vehicle 50 that received power from the power supply facility 71, and the time and amount of power that was supplied from the power supply facility 71 to the air vehicle 50. The vehicle power supply history may include, for example, the vehicle ID of the vehicle 60 that received power from the power supply facility 71, and the time and amount of power that was supplied from the power supply facility 71 to the vehicle 60.

[0159] The configuration of the power supply history information is not limited to the example given here, and the power supply history information may further include, for example, a power supply facility ID for identifying the power supply facility 71 that supplied power to the power supply target.

[0160] (Regarding the power supply record acquisition unit 185) The power supply history acquisition unit 185 acquires power supply history information indicating the history of power supply from the power supply equipment 71 from the second communication unit 75. The power supply history acquisition unit 185 stores the acquired power supply history information in the power supply history storage unit 180 as power supply history information.

[0161] (Regarding the billing unit 190) The billing unit 190 generates billing information. The billing information is information including the fee for the power supplied from the power supply facility 71 to the power supply target. The billing information may be generated for each management entity, for example.

[0162] For example, the accounting unit 190 may generate accounting information for each management entity based on the power supply target information and the power supply history information.

[0163] The power supply target information is information that associates the aircraft 50 with the management entity that manages the aircraft 50, and the power supply history information may be information that includes the history of power supply to the aircraft 50 from the power supply facility 71. In this case, the billing information may include the fee for the electricity supplied from the power supply facility 71 to the aircraft 50.

[0164] The power supply target information is information that further associates the vehicle 60 with a management entity that manages the vehicle 60, and the power supply history information may be information that further includes a vehicle power supply history of power being supplied from the power supply facility 71 to the vehicle 60. In this case, the billing information may further include the fee for the power supplied from the power supply facility 71 to the vehicle 60.

[0165] In detail, for example, the billing unit 190 may generate billing information for each management entity based on the power supply history information and the power rate data. The power rate data is data related to power rates, and includes, for example, a rate per unit amount of power used. If the unit amount of power used varies depending on the time of day, etc., the power rate data may be data including a rate per unit amount of power used in the time of day, etc. The billing unit 190 may store the power rate data in advance, or may acquire the data from an external device (not shown). The external device may be, for example, a device for providing power rate data by an electric power company that supplies power to the power supply equipment 71, but is not limited to this.

[0166] For example, the accounting unit 190 may generate accounting information at a predetermined cycle. This cycle may be determined as appropriate, but may be, for example, a predetermined day of the month (for example, the 10th of each month, the end of the month, etc.). The accounting unit 190 may transmit the accounting information of each management entity to a terminal device (not shown) used by that management entity. The accounting unit 190 or the terminal device may cause a printer or the like to print the accounting information. Figure 12 is a diagram showing an example of accounting information for each management entity. The accounting information shown in this figure is an example of printing accounting information for management entity A for April 2024.

[0167] (Actions and Effects) As described above, according to this embodiment, the aircraft power supply information is generated by further using usage status information regarding the usage status of the power supply location.

[0168] This makes it possible to use the utilization status of the power supply location to generate aircraft power supply information including an appropriate power supply timing for the power supply facility 71 to supply power to the aircraft 50. This makes it possible for the aircraft 50 and the vehicle 60 to appropriately share the power supply facility 71.

[0169] According to this embodiment, the usage status information includes at least one of the usage status of the power supply facility 71 and the usage status of the road R on which the power supply facility 71 is installed.

[0170] As a result, it is possible to generate aircraft power supply information including an appropriate power supply timing for the power supply facility 71 to supply power to the aircraft 50 by using the usage status of the power supply facility 71 and / or the road R. Therefore, it becomes possible for the aircraft 50 and the vehicle 60 to appropriately share the power supply facility 71.

[0171] According to this embodiment, there are multiple power supply facilities. The aircraft power supply information includes facility identification information for identifying a power supply facility 71 selected from the multiple power supply facilities 71 as the power supply facility 71 that will supply power to the aircraft 50, and a power supply time when the selected power supply facility 71 will supply power to the aircraft 50.

[0172] This makes it possible to generate aircraft power supply information including equipment identification information for identifying an appropriate power supply equipment 71 for supplying power to the aircraft 50 from among the multiple power supply equipment 71 and an appropriate power supply timing. Therefore, it becomes possible for the aircraft 50 and the vehicle 60 to appropriately share the multiple power supply equipment 71.

[0173] According to this embodiment, the flight status information includes at least one of flight position information regarding the position of the aircraft 50 and the charging state of the aircraft 50. The aircraft power supply information is generated using the position of the power supply equipment 71 and at least one of the flight position information and the charging state.

[0174] This allows the flight status information to be used to generate aircraft power supply information including an appropriate power supply timing for the power supply facility 71 to supply power to the aircraft 50. This makes it possible for the aircraft 50 and the vehicle 60 to appropriately share the power supply facility 71.

[0175] Furthermore, when there are multiple power supply facilities 71, it is possible to generate aircraft power supply information including facility identification information for identifying an appropriate power supply facility 71 for supplying power to the aircraft 50 and an appropriate power supply timing. Therefore, it becomes possible for the aircraft 50 and the vehicle 60 to appropriately share the multiple power supply facilities 71.

[0176] According to this embodiment, the information processing device 200 includes a power supply mode instructing unit 170 that outputs a switching instruction for switching the power supply mode of the power supply equipment 71 between the flying object 50 and the vehicle 60.

[0177] This allows the power supply mode of the power supply facility 71 to be switched to the first power supply mode at the power supply time. Therefore, the flying object 50 can receive power supply from the power supply facility 71 specified using the flying object power supply information at the power supply time.

[0178] According to this embodiment, the aircraft power supply information is generated further using weather information, which is information about the weather.

[0179] This allows the weather information to be used to generate aircraft power supply information including the appropriate power supply time for the power supply facility 71 to supply power to the aircraft 50. This makes it possible for the aircraft 50 and the vehicle 60 to appropriately share the power supply facility 71.

[0180] Furthermore, when there are multiple power supply facilities 71, it is possible to generate aircraft power supply information including facility identification information for identifying an appropriate power supply facility 71 for supplying power to the aircraft 50 and an appropriate power supply timing. Therefore, it becomes possible for the aircraft 50 and the vehicle 60 to appropriately share the multiple power supply facilities 71.

[0181] According to this embodiment, the information processing device 200 generates billing information for each management entity based on the power supply target information and the power supply history information. The power supply target information associates the flying object 50 with the management entity that manages the flying object 50. The power supply history information includes the flying object power supply history of power being supplied from the power supply facility 71 to the flying object 50. The billing information includes the fee for the electricity supplied from the power supply facility 71 to the flying object 50.

[0182] This makes it possible to generate billing information that includes the charge for the electricity supplied from the power supply facility 71 to the flying object 50. This improves convenience when the flying object 50 and the vehicle 60 share the power supply facility 71.

[0183] According to this embodiment, the power supply target information further associates the vehicle 60 with a management entity that manages the vehicle 60. The power supply history information further includes a vehicle power supply history in which power is supplied from the power supply equipment 71 to the vehicle 60. The billing information further includes a fee for the power supplied from the power supply equipment 71 to the vehicle 60.

[0184] This makes it possible to generate billing information that includes the fee for the electricity supplied from the power supply facility 71 to the vehicle 60. This improves convenience when the power supply facility 71 is shared by the flying object 50 and the vehicle 60.

[0185] [Embodiment 3] In this embodiment, an example of an information processing device for controlling traffic on road R, which is a power supply location, will be described in order to supply power to flying object 50. Note that in this embodiment, for the sake of simplicity, descriptions that overlap with other embodiments will be omitted as appropriate.

[0186] The information processing device 300 is, for example, an information processing device provided in the information processing systems S1 and S2 instead of the information processing devices 100 and 200. As shown in Fig. 13 , the information processing device 300 includes a second generation unit 310 in addition to the components provided in the information processing device 200 described in the second embodiment.

[0187] The second generation unit 310 generates traffic control information including areas and time periods of road R that satisfy predetermined traffic control conditions, for example, based on at least one of the usage status of the power supply facility 71 by the flying object 50 and the usage status of road R. The traffic control conditions may further include conditions related to the fee for electricity supplied from the power supply facility 71 to the flying object 50.

[0188] The traffic control condition is, for example, a condition for allowing traffic control on road R in order to supply power from power supply equipment 71 to flying object 50.

[0189] For example, the traffic regulation condition may include the fact that the power supply equipment 71 has previously supplied a predetermined amount or more of power to the flying object 50. In this case, the second generation unit 310 may generate traffic regulation information including the area of ​​the road R where the power supply equipment 71 that previously supplied a predetermined amount or more of power to the flying object 50 is installed and the time period during which the power supply was performed.

[0190] For example, the traffic regulation condition may include a condition that the current or future demand for power supply to the flying object 50 at a certain power supply facility 71 is equal to or greater than a predetermined amount. In this case, the second generation unit 310 may generate traffic regulation information including the area of ​​the road R on which the power supply facility 71 is installed and the scheduled time period during which power is supplied from the power supply facility 71.

[0191] For example, the traffic regulation conditions may be specified using a road R or a section thereof where the traffic volume of vehicles 60 is less than a predetermined volume, a time period such as late night hours where the traffic volume of vehicles 60 is less than a predetermined volume, etc. In this case, the second generation unit 310 may generate traffic regulation information including an area of ​​road R where the traffic volume is less than a predetermined volume and a scheduled time period when power is supplied from power supply equipment 71 installed in that area, based on the past, present, and future usage status of at least one road R.

[0192] For example, the traffic regulation conditions may include a lower limit on the expected price of electricity supplied from the power supply equipment 71 to the air vehicle 50. In this case, when the expected price of electricity supplied from a certain power supply equipment 71 to the air vehicle 50 is equal to or higher than the lower limit, the second generation unit 310 may generate traffic regulation information including the area of ​​the road R on which the power supply equipment 71 is installed and the scheduled time period during which power is supplied from the power supply equipment 71.

[0193] The traffic control conditions are not limited to those exemplified here, and may be a combination of multiple conditions exemplified here.

[0194] The information processing device 300 executes, for example, information processing as shown in Fig. 14. The information processing illustrated in Fig. 14 is another example of processing for determining a plan for power supply from the power supply facility 71.

[0195] The same processing as steps S111 to S115 described with reference to FIG. 8 is executed.

[0196] The second generation unit 310 generates traffic control information including areas and time periods of road R that satisfy predetermined traffic control conditions, for example, based on at least one of the usage status of the power supply equipment 71 by the aircraft 50 and the usage status of road R (step S316).

[0197] The second generating unit 310 outputs, for example, the traffic regulation information generated in step S316 (step S317).

[0198] For example, in step S317, the second generation unit 310 may transmit the traffic regulation information to an external device (not shown) used by an organization, institution, or the like related to the traffic regulation. This allows workers or the like to be dispatched to implement the traffic regulation in the area and time period of road R where the traffic regulation is to be implemented.

[0199] For example, if traffic regulations are implemented using electronic billboards or electronic markings, the second generation unit 310 may transmit traffic regulation information to an external device (not shown) that controls these electronic billboards, electronic markings, etc.

[0200] For example, the second generation unit 310 may transmit traffic regulation information to an in-vehicle device of a vehicle traveling on road R, a device that provides real-time information to the in-vehicle device, or the like. This allows the driver of the vehicle to be aware of the traffic regulation. If the vehicle is an autonomous vehicle, the vehicle can drive itself in accordance with the traffic regulation. The vehicle to which the traffic regulation information is transmitted may be, for example, a so-called connected car equipped with a function as an ICT (Information and Communication Technology) terminal. When transmitting traffic regulation information to an in-vehicle device, an appropriate communication standard, such as C-V2X, may be used.

[0201] (Actions and Effects) As described above, according to this embodiment, the information processing device 300 includes the second generation unit 310. The second generation unit 310 generates traffic regulation information including areas and time periods of road R that satisfy predetermined traffic regulation conditions, based on at least one of the usage status of the power supply facility 71 by the flying object 50 and the usage status of road R.

[0202] This allows traffic restrictions to be implemented as necessary to supply power from the power supply facility 71 to the flying object 50. Therefore, the flying object 50 and the vehicle 60 can appropriately share the power supply facility 71.

[0203] According to this embodiment, the traffic regulation conditions include conditions regarding the fee for the electricity supplied from the power supply facility 71 to the flying object 50.

[0204] This allows traffic restrictions to be implemented when a certain amount of power is to be supplied from the power supply facility 71 to the flying object 50. Therefore, the power supply facility 71 can be appropriately shared between the flying object 50 and the vehicle 60.

[0205] [Embodiment 4] In this embodiment, another example of control during power supply from the power supply facility 71 to the flying object 50 will be described. Note that in this embodiment, for simplicity of explanation, explanations that overlap with other embodiments will be omitted as appropriate.

[0206] The information processing device 400 may be provided in the information processing system S2, for example, instead of the information processing device 200. As shown in Fig. 15 , the information processing device 400 includes a power supply position designation unit 410, a proximity information acquisition unit 420, an evacuation instruction unit 430, a power supply distance estimation unit 440, and a power supply control instruction unit 450 in addition to the components provided in the information processing device 200 described in the second embodiment.

[0207] When the flying object 50 is supplied with power from the power supply facility 71, the power supply position designation unit 410 generates a power receiving instruction for designating a power receiving position, which is a position where the flying object 50 is to be supplied with power.

[0208] The proximity information acquisition unit 420 acquires vehicle information of an approaching vehicle approaching the power supply equipment 71 while the power supply equipment 71 is supplying power to the flying object 50.

[0209] The evacuation instruction unit 430 generates an evacuation instruction for evacuating the flying object 50 currently receiving power from the power supply facility 71 based on the vehicle information of the approaching vehicle.

[0210] The power supply distance estimation unit 440 estimates at least one of the distance and direction between the power supply equipment 71 currently supplying power and the flying object 50 while the power supply equipment 71 is supplying power to the flying object 50 .

[0211] The power supply control instruction unit 450 outputs a power supply control instruction to the power supply equipment 71 currently supplying power, for controlling the characteristics of the power supplied from the power supply equipment 71, in accordance with the estimated distance.

[0212] The information processing device 400 executes information processing as shown in Fig. 16. The information processing illustrated in the figure is another example of processing for supplying power from the power supply facility 71 to a power supply target. An information processing system including the information processing device 400 may execute the processing of steps S121 to S127 described with reference to Fig. 9. Fig. 16 shows an example of processing executed by the information processing device 400 between step S121 and step S126.

[0213] When the flying object 50 is to be supplied with power from the power supply facility 71, the power supply position designation unit 410 generates a power receiving instruction including a power receiving position for the flying object 50 to receive the supply of power (step S421).

[0214] The power receiving position may include latitude and longitude, and may also include height from the ground (the road surface of road R). For example, the power supply position designation unit 410 may generate a power receiving instruction that includes, as the power receiving position, a height corresponding to road R, based on the usage status of road R on which power supply equipment 71 that supplies power to the flying object 50 is installed.

[0215] For example, road R includes roads with a heavy traffic volume of tall vehicles 60 such as trucks, and roads with a light traffic volume of tall vehicles 60 such as trucks. Therefore, the power supply position designation unit 410 may predict the traffic volume of tall vehicles 60 on road R on which, for example, power supply equipment 71 that supplies power to the air vehicle 50 is installed, based on past or current usage conditions. Then, based on the result of the prediction, the power supply position designation unit 410 may generate a power receiving instruction that includes a height corresponding to the road R in the power receiving position. For example, when it is predicted that a predetermined number or more of tall vehicles 60 will pass, the power receiving instruction may be generated that includes a higher power receiving position than when the number of tall vehicles 60 passing is less than the predetermined number.

[0216] The power supply position designation unit 410 outputs the power receiving instruction generated in step S421 (step S422).

[0217] For example, the power supply position designation unit 410 may output a power receiving instruction to an aircraft management device that manages the aircraft 50 to which power is supplied from the power supply facility 71. The power supply position designation unit 410 may output a power receiving instruction to the aircraft 50 to which power is supplied from the power supply facility 71. This allows the aircraft 50 to be charged at the power receiving position in accordance with the power receiving instruction obtained via the aircraft management device or directly.

[0218] The proximity information acquisition unit 420 acquires vehicle information of an approaching vehicle approaching the power supply equipment 71 while the power supply equipment 71 is supplying power to the flying object 50 (step S423).

[0219] For example, the proximity information acquisition unit 420 may detect an approaching vehicle by communicating with an external device (not shown) that provides traffic information. Then, when an approaching vehicle is detected, the proximity information acquisition unit 420 may acquire vehicle information of the approaching vehicle from the external device. Note that the method of acquiring vehicle information is not limited to the example given here.

[0220] The vehicle information may include at least one of the vehicle type and vehicle size (width, height, etc.).

[0221] The evacuation instruction unit 430 generates an evacuation instruction for evacuating the flying object 50 currently receiving power from the power supply facility 71, based on the vehicle information of the approaching vehicle acquired in step S423 (step S424).

[0222] For example, when there is a possibility that the flying object 50 will come into contact with or collide with an approaching vehicle at the power receiving position according to the power receiving instruction, the evacuation instruction unit 430 may generate an evacuation instruction. In detail, for example, when the vehicle height of the approaching vehicle is higher than the height according to the power receiving instruction, the evacuation instruction unit 430 may generate an evacuation instruction to evacuate the flying object 50 to a position higher than the vehicle height of the approaching vehicle.

[0223] The save instruction unit 430 outputs the save instruction generated in step S424 (step S425).

[0224] For example, the evacuation instruction unit 430 may output an evacuation instruction to an aircraft management device that manages the aircraft 50 to which power is supplied from the power supply facility 71. The evacuation instruction unit 430 may output an evacuation instruction to the aircraft 50 to which power is supplied from the power supply facility 71. This allows the aircraft 50 to evacuate from the approaching vehicle by moving in accordance with the evacuation instruction obtained via the aircraft management device or directly.

[0225] While power is being supplied from the power supply facility 71 to the flying object 50, the power supply distance estimation unit 440 estimates at least one of the distance and direction between the power supply facility 71 currently supplying power and the flying object 50 (step S426).

[0226] For example, the power supply distance estimation unit 440 may acquire the current position of the aircraft 50 in the same manner as the flight status acquisition unit 120. The power supply distance estimation unit 440 may, for example, store the position (e.g., latitude and longitude) of the power supply equipment 71 in advance. Then, based on the positions of the power supply equipment 71 currently supplying power and the aircraft 50, it may estimate at least one of the distance and direction between the power supply equipment 71 currently supplying power and the aircraft 50. Note that the method for estimating at least one of the distance and direction between the power supply equipment 71 currently supplying power and the aircraft 50 is not limited to the example given here.

[0227] The power supply control instruction unit 450 outputs a power supply control instruction to the power supply equipment 71 currently supplying power, for controlling the characteristics of the power supplied from the power supply equipment 71, in accordance with the distance estimated in step S426 (step S427).

[0228] For example, the power supply control instruction unit 450 may transmit a power supply control instruction to the power supply control unit 72 that controls the power supply equipment 71 currently supplying power. This allows the power supply equipment 71 currently supplying power to output power with characteristics in accordance with the power supply control instruction and supply the power to the flying object 50. The power characteristics may include at least one of the intensity, direction, etc. of the power, for example.

[0229] For example, due to the influence of wind or the like, the position of the flying object 50 being powered by the power supply facility 71 (i.e., power being supplied from the power supply facility 71) may deviate from the power receiving position according to the power receiving instruction. The power supply distance estimation unit 440 may output a power supply control instruction to the power supply facility 71 that is currently supplying power, in accordance with the real-time position of the flying object 50. This allows power to be supplied in a more efficient manner.

[0230] For example, when the flying object 50 receives power from the power supply facility 71 at a position where it has evacuated in accordance with an evacuation instruction (evacuation position), a power supply control instruction for receiving power from the power supply facility 71 at the evacuation position may be output to the power supply facility 71 that is currently supplying power. This allows power to be supplied to the evacuated flying object 50 as well.

[0231] For example, steps S423 to S427 may be repeatedly executed while power is being supplied from the power supply facility 71 to the flying object 50 until power supply history information is acquired in step S126.

[0232] (Actions and Effects) As described above, according to this embodiment, the information processing device 400 is provided with a power supply position designation unit 410 that generates a power receiving instruction including a power receiving position for the flying object 50 to receive power when the flying object 50 is powered by the power supply equipment 71.

[0233] This allows the flying object 50 to receive power from the power supply facility 71 at the power receiving position, so that the flying object 50 can receive an appropriate supply of power. Therefore, the flying object 50 and the vehicle 60 can appropriately share the power supply facility 71.

[0234] According to this embodiment, the information processing device 400 includes a proximity information acquisition unit 420 and an evacuation instruction unit 430. The proximity information acquisition unit 420 acquires vehicle information of an approaching vehicle approaching the power supply facility 71 while the power supply facility 71 is supplying power to the air vehicle 50. The evacuation instruction unit 430 generates an evacuation instruction to evacuate the air vehicle 50 that is being supplied with power from the power supply facility 71, based on the vehicle information of the approaching vehicle.

[0235] This allows the flying object 50 being powered to be evacuated from the power supply facility 71 as needed, reducing the risk of contact, collision, etc. Therefore, the power supply facility 71 can be appropriately shared between the flying object 50 and the vehicle 60.

[0236] According to this embodiment, the information processing device 400 includes a power supply distance estimation unit 440 and a power supply control instruction unit 450. While power is being supplied from the power supply equipment 71 to the flying object 50, the power supply distance estimation unit 440 estimates at least one of the distance and direction between the power supply equipment 71 currently supplying power and the flying object 50. The power supply control instruction unit 450 outputs a power supply control instruction to the power supply equipment 71 currently supplying power, for controlling the specification of power to be supplied from the power supply equipment 71 currently supplying power, in accordance with the estimated distance.

[0237] This allows the power supply facility 71 to continue to supply appropriate power to the flying object 50. Therefore, the flying object 50 and the vehicle 60 can share the power supply facility 71 appropriately.
