[0033] The operation of the information processing device 20 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 4. This operation corresponds to a method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0034] Step S1: The control unit 21 of the information processing device 20 accepts a reservation for a medical checkup made by a user.

[0035] Specifically, the control unit 31 of each terminal device 30 accepts an operation of inputting medical examination reservation information from an application for making a reservation for a medical examination via the Internet, which is operated on each terminal device 30, by each user via the input unit 34. Then, the control unit 31 of each terminal device 30 transmits the medical examination reservation information to the information processing device 20 via the communication unit 32. Then, the control unit 21 of the information processing device 20 receives the medical examination reservation information from each terminal device 30 via the communication unit 22. Then, the control unit 21 of the information processing device 20 stores the medical examination reservation information received from each terminal device 30 in the storage unit 23. Note that the medical examination reservation information may include, in addition to the desired date and time of the medical examination, identification information (identification ID, etc.) of each terminal device 30 and user information of each terminal device 30 (user's name, home location information, etc.), but is not limited thereto.

[0036] Step S2: The control unit 21 of the information processing device 20 presents to the user inquiry information inquiring whether or not a parking space for the vehicle 10 equipped with the equipment used for the health check can be provided.

[0037] Specifically, the control unit 21 of the information processing device 20 generates inquiry information (message, etc.) inquiring as to whether a parking space provided at the user's home can be provided as a parking space for the vehicle 10 equipped with equipment used for a health checkup. Then, the control unit 21 of the information processing device 20 transmits the inquiry information to each terminal device 30 via the communication unit 22. Then, the control unit 31 of each terminal device 30 receives the inquiry information from the information processing device 20 via the communication unit 32. Then, the control unit 31 of each terminal device 30 outputs the inquiry information to the user via the output unit 35 as a screen display or a voice. Note that the inquiry information may be presented to the user via an application that runs on the terminal device 30 and that makes a reservation for a health checkup via the Internet.

[0038] Step S3: The control unit 21 of the information processing device 20 accepts a user's response to the inquiry indicated by the inquiry information of step S2.

[0039] Specifically, the control unit 31 of each terminal device 30 accepts an operation of the user inputting a response to the inquiry indicated by the inquiry information of step S2 via the input unit 34. The input of the response may be performed by selecting one option from multiple options regarding the availability of a parking space displayed on the screen of each terminal device 30, for example by a touch operation, but is not limited to this. Then, the control unit 31 of each terminal device 30 transmits response information indicating the response to the information processing device 20 via the communication unit 32. Then, the control unit 21 of the information processing device 20 receives the response information from each terminal device 30 via the communication unit 22.

[0040] Step S4: Based on the response in step S3, the control unit 21 of the information processing device 20 determines the parking location of the vehicle 10 equipped with the equipment used for the medical examination.

[0041] Specifically, the control unit 21 of the information processing device 20 uses an arbitrary method to identify an answer indicating that a parking space for the vehicle 10 can be provided from among the answers indicated by the answer information received in step S3. Then, the control unit 21 of the information processing device 20 identifies the terminal device 30 that transmitted the answer information indicating the identified answer, the user who owns the terminal device 30, and the position information of the user's home by referring to the storage unit 23. Then, the control unit 21 of the information processing device 20 determines the position indicated by the identified position information of the home as the parking space for the vehicle 10.

[0042] Here, the control unit 21 of the information processing device 20 may determine, as the parking location of the vehicle 10, a parking space provided at a home or the like owned by a user who is capable of providing a power supply device for driving the vehicle 10 or the device used for the medical examination mounted on the vehicle 10, from among the users who have responded that a parking location for the vehicle 10 is available. In such a case, the control unit 21 of the information processing device 20 may present to the user in advance, in the same manner as in step S2, inquiry information including an inquiry as to whether or not a power supply device for driving the vehicle 10 or the device used for the medical examination mounted on the vehicle 10 is available, and may obtain an answer in the same manner as in step S3. Note that the power supply device may be a power source for a BEV or a PHEV, or may be a general-purpose power source, but is not limited thereto.

[0043] Step S5: The control unit 21 of the information processing device 20 notifies the user that the parking location determined in step S4 is the location where the health check will be performed.

[0044] Specifically, the control unit 21 of the information processing device 20 generates a message informing that the parking location determined in step S4 is the location where the health check will be conducted. Then, the control unit 21 of the information processing device 20 transmits the message to each terminal device 30 via the communication unit 22. Then, the control unit 31 of each terminal device 30 receives the message via the communication unit 32. Then, the control unit 31 of each terminal device 30 outputs the message to each user via the output unit 35 as a screen display or audio. This allows each user to know the location where the health check will be conducted.

[0045] Thereafter, on the day of the medical examination, the vehicle 10 equipped with the equipment used for the medical examination identifies the home of the examinee based on the location information of the home of the examinee obtained from the information processing device 20 via the network 40, picks up the examinee at his / her home, and transports the examinee to the location where the medical examination will be performed (i.e., the parking location determined in step S4). Note that for examinees who are, for example, younger people, the medical examination may be performed inside the vehicle 10 when the examinees are picked up.

[0046] As described above, when the control unit 21 of the information processing device 20 according to this embodiment accepts a reservation for a health check from a user, it presents to the user inquiry information inquiring whether a parking space for the vehicle 10 equipped with the equipment used for the health check is available. Then, the control unit 21 of the information processing device 20 determines a parking space based on the user's response to the inquiry indicated by the inquiry information.

[0047] According to this configuration, a parking space for the vehicle 10 equipped with the equipment used for the medical examination, which is the place where the medical examination is carried out, can be secured in advance. Therefore, the technology for improving the convenience of the medical examination can be improved.
