[0010] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a schematic configuration of a system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. [Diagram 2] FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the system shown in FIG. [Diagram 3] FIG. 2 is a sequence diagram showing the operation of the system shown in FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0011] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0012] (System Configuration) 1, the system 1 includes an information processing device 10, vehicles 20A and 20B, and a terminal device 30. Hereinafter, when there is no particular distinction between the vehicles 20A and 20B, these are also collectively referred to as "vehicles 20."

[0013] The information processing device 10, the vehicle 20, and the terminal device 30 are capable of communicating with each other via a network 2. The network 2 may be any network including a mobile communication network, the Internet, and the like.

[0014] The information processing device 10 provides a health checkup service using a vehicle 20. When a user is detected in the health checkup to be in a worsening physical condition or suspected to be ill, the information processing device 10 determines a hospital to which the user should be transported. The information processing device 10 is, for example, a dedicated computer configured to function as a server, a general-purpose personal computer, a cloud computing system, or the like.

[0015] A medical checkup can be carried out inside the vehicle 20. The vehicle 20 in which the medical checkup is carried out is equipped with medical equipment used in the medical checkup. The medical equipment includes, for example, at least one of a blood pressure monitor, a blood test device, an electrocardiograph, an X-ray imaging diagnostic device, an ultrasonic examination device, a CT (Computed Tomography) device, and an MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) device. The vehicle 20 travels around the area where the users who will undergo the medical checkup live.

[0016] In this embodiment, the medical examination is carried out in the vehicle 20A. The vehicle 20A is equipped with medical equipment. The vehicle 20B waits at the location where the medical examination is carried out. If a user whose physical condition has deteriorated or who is suspected of being ill is detected during the medical examination carried out in the vehicle 20A, the vehicle 20B transports the user to a hospital. The vehicle 20B may or may not be equipped with medical equipment.

[0017] The vehicle 20 may be any automobile. The vehicle 20 may be, for example, a gasoline-powered automobile, an electric automobile (BEV: Battery Electric Vehicle), a hybrid automobile (HEV: Hybrid Electric Vehicle), a plug-in hybrid automobile (PHEV: Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle), or a fuel cell automobile (FCEV: Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle). In this embodiment, the vehicle 20 is an AV (Autonomous Vehicle). However, the vehicle 20 may be driven by a driver. Alternatively, a part of the driving of the vehicle 20 may be automated at any level. The level of automation is, for example, any one of levels 1 to 5 in the level classification of the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). The vehicle 20 may be a vehicle dedicated to MaaS (Mobility as a Service).

[0018] The terminal device 30 is mounted on the vehicle 20A where the medical examination is performed. The terminal device 30 is used by medical staff. The medical staff is a nurse, a medical technician, or the like who performs the medical examination. In other words, the user of the terminal device 30 is the medical staff. The terminal device 30 is, for example, a tablet or a personal computer (PC: Personal Computer), etc.

[0019] In the system 1, the vehicle 20 can be used to carry out a medical checkup at a location other than a hospital. When carrying out a medical checkup at a location other than a hospital, there is a high possibility that there is no doctor at the location where the medical checkup is carried out. When there is no doctor at the location where the medical checkup is carried out and a user whose physical condition has deteriorated or who is suspected of being ill is detected during the medical checkup, there is no doctor to diagnose the user, and therefore the user is required to be transported to a hospital. In this embodiment, when a user whose physical condition has deteriorated or who is suspected of being ill is detected during the medical checkup, the information processing device 10 determines a hospital to which the user should be transported. With this configuration, a technology for promptly transporting a user to a hospital during a medical checkup can be provided.

[0020] <Configuration of information processing device> As shown in FIG. 2, the information processing device 10 includes a communication unit 11, a storage unit 12, and a control unit 13.

[0021] The communication unit 11 includes at least one communication module that can be connected to the network 2. The communication module is, for example, a communication module that is compatible with standards such as a wired LAN (Local Area Network) or a wireless LAN. However, the communication module is not limited to this. The communication module may be compatible with any communication standard.

The processing program causes a computer to execute the operations of the information processing device 10, thereby causing the computer to function as the information processing device 10. That is, the computer functions as the information processing device 10 by executing the operations of the information processing device 10 in accordance with the processing program.

[0025] A part or all of the functions of the information processing device 10 may be realized by a dedicated circuit equivalent to the control unit 13. In other words, a part or all of the functions of the information processing device 10 may be realized by hardware.

[0026] The control unit 13 receives a dispatch schedule of the multiple vehicles 20 from an external server via the network 2 through the communication unit 11. The control unit 13 may determine the dispatch schedule of the multiple vehicles 20 based on information of users who are scheduled to undergo health checkups. The dispatch schedule includes information such as the dispatch location and dispatch time of the vehicles 20. The dispatch location of the vehicles 20 may be the location where the health checkup is carried out.

[0027] When the health check is started, the control unit 13 receives the result of the user's health check and the user's identification information from the terminal device 30 via the network 2 by the communication unit 11. The result of the user's health check is, for example, an X-ray image of the user. The user's identification information may be any information that can uniquely identify the user in the system 1. The control unit 13 may receive the result of the user's health check and the user's identification information from medical equipment mounted on the vehicle 20 via the network 2 by the communication unit 11. The control unit 13 stores the received result of the user's health check in the memory unit 12 in association with the user's identification information.

[0028] <Terminal device configuration> As shown in FIG. 2, the terminal device 30 includes a communication unit 31, an input unit 32, an output unit 33, a storage unit , and a control unit .

[0029] The communication unit 31 is configured to include at least one communication module that can be connected to the network 2. The communication module is, for example, a communication module compatible with a mobile communication standard such as LTE (Long Term Evolution), 4G (4th Generation), or 5G (5th Generation). However, the communication module is not limited to this. The communication module may be compatible with any communication standard.

[0030] The communication unit 31 is configured to include at least one communication module capable of communicating with medical equipment mounted on the vehicle 20. The communication module is, for example, a communication module compatible with a standard such as a wired LAN or a wireless LAN. However, the communication module is not limited to this. The communication module may be compatible with any communication standard.

[0031] The input unit 32 can receive input from a user. The input unit 32 includes at least one input interface capable of receiving input from a user. The input interface is, for example, a physical key, a capacitive key, a pointing device, a touch screen or a microphone that is integral with a display. However, the input interface is not limited to these.

[0032] The output unit 33 is capable of outputting data. The output unit 33 is configured to include at least one output interface capable of outputting data. The output interface is, for example, a display or a speaker. The display is, for example, an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) or an organic EL (Electro Luminescence) display. However, the output interface is not limited to this.

[0033] The storage unit 34 includes at least one semiconductor memory, at least one magnetic memory, at least one optical memory, or a combination of at least two of these. The semiconductor memory is, for example, a RAM or a ROM. The RAM is, for example, an SRAM or a DRAM. The ROM is, for example, an EEPROM. The storage unit 34 may function as a main storage device, an auxiliary storage device, or a cache memory. The storage unit 34 stores data used in the operation of the terminal device 30 and data obtained by the operation of the terminal device 30.

[0034] The control unit 35 includes at least one processor, at least one dedicated circuit, or a combination of these. The processor is, for example, a general-purpose processor such as a CPU or a GPU, or a dedicated processor specialized for a specific process. The dedicated circuit is, for example, an FPGA or an ASIC. The control unit 35 executes processes related to the operation of the terminal device 30 while controlling each part of the terminal device 30.

[0035] The functions of the terminal device 30 are realized by executing a terminal program according to this embodiment on a processor corresponding to the control unit 35. That is, the functions of the terminal device 30 are realized by software. The terminal program causes a computer to execute the operations of the terminal device 30, thereby causing the computer to function as the terminal device 30. That is, the computer functions as the terminal device 30 by executing the operations of the terminal device 30 in accordance with the terminal program.

[0036] A part or all of the functions of the terminal device 30 may be realized by a dedicated circuit equivalent to the control unit 35. In other words, a part or all of the functions of the terminal device 30 may be realized by hardware.

[0037] The control unit 35 receives the result of the user's health check and the user's identification information from the medical equipment mounted on the vehicle 20A via the communication unit 31. The control unit 35 transmits the result of the user's health check and the user's identification information to the information processing device 10 via the network 2 via the communication unit 31. The control unit 35 may transmit the result of the user's health check and the user's identification information to the information processing device 10 every time it receives the result of the user's health check and the user's identification information from the medical equipment.

[0038] (System processing) The processing of the system 1 will now be described.

[0039] <Hospital decision-making process> In the terminal device 30, the control unit 35 may detect a user whose physical condition has deteriorated during the medical checkup. The control unit 35 may detect a user whose physical condition has deteriorated during the medical checkup by receiving a first input and user identification information from a medical staff member through the input unit 32. The first input is an input indicating that a user whose physical condition has deteriorated during the medical checkup has been detected. For example, when the user's physical condition deteriorates during blood collection, the medical staff inputs the first input and the user's identification information from the input unit 32. When the control unit 35 detects a user whose physical condition has deteriorated during the medical checkup, the control unit 35 transmits a first signal and the user's identification information to the information processing device 10 via the network 2. The first signal is a signal indicating that a user whose physical condition has deteriorated during the medical checkup has been detected.

[0040] In the terminal device 30, the control unit 35 may detect a user suspected of having a disease in a medical checkup. The control unit 35 may detect a user suspected of having a disease in a medical checkup by receiving a second input and the user's identification information from a medical staff member through the input unit 32. The second input is an input indicating that a user suspected of having a disease has been detected in a medical checkup. For example, when a medical staff member sees an X-ray image of a user and suspects that the user has a disease, the medical staff member inputs the second input and the user's identification information through the input unit 32. The control unit 35 may detect a user suspected of having a disease by analyzing the results of the user's medical checkup received from the medical equipment. When the control unit 35 detects a user suspected of having a disease in a medical checkup, the control unit 35 transmits a second signal and the user's identification information to the information processing device 10 via the network 2. The second signal is an input indicating that a user suspected of having a disease has been detected in a medical checkup.

[0041] In the information processing device 10, the control unit 13 receives the first signal or the second signal and the user's identification information from the terminal device 30 via the network 2 by the communication unit 11. When the control unit 13 receives the first signal or the second signal, that is, when a user whose physical condition has deteriorated or who is suspected of being ill is detected in the health checkup, the control unit 13 determines a hospital to which the user should be transported.

[0042] The control unit 13 determines a hospital to which the user is to be transported from among a plurality of hospitals located within a predetermined range from the location where the health checkup is to be performed. The predetermined range may be set based on the time required for the vehicle 20 to transport the user. The control unit 13 may specify the location where the health checkup is to be performed based on the dispatch schedule of the plurality of vehicles 20.

[0043] [Example 1] The control unit 13 may determine a hospital to which the user is to be transported from among the multiple hospitals based on information about multiple hospitals located within a predetermined range from the location where the health check is performed. The information about the multiple hospitals may include any information about the multiple hospitals. The information about the multiple hospitals may include information about at least one affiliated hospital affiliated with the operator who operates the system 1 or the information processing device 10. The control unit 13 may acquire information about the multiple hospitals by receiving information about the multiple hospitals from an external server via the network 2 using the communication unit 11. The control unit 13 may acquire information about the multiple hospitals by receiving information about each hospital from a terminal device or the like of each hospital via the network 2 using the communication unit 11. The control unit 13 may acquire information about any multiple hospitals in advance. In this case, when determining a hospital to which the user is to be transported, the control unit 13 may acquire information about the multiple hospitals located within a predetermined range from the location where the health check is performed from information about any multiple hospitals acquired in advance. Alternatively, when determining a hospital to which the user is to be transported, the control unit 13 may acquire information about the multiple hospitals by receiving it from an external server or a terminal device or the like of each hospital.

[0044] The information on the plurality of hospitals may include location information of each of the plurality of hospitals. The control unit 13 may determine a hospital close to the location where the health check is performed as a hospital to which a user whose physical condition has deteriorated or who is suspected of being ill in the health check is transported, with priority given to a hospital close to the location where the health check is performed. With this configuration, the user can be transported quickly to the hospital. When the control unit 13 receives the first signal, that is, when a user whose physical condition has deteriorated in the health check is detected, the control unit 13 may determine a hospital close to the location where the health check is performed as a hospital to which the user whose physical condition has deteriorated or who is suspected of being ill in the health check is transported. With this configuration, the user whose physical condition has deteriorated can be transported quickly to the hospital, and the user's physical condition can be quickly restored. The control unit 13 may determine a hospital close to the location where the health check is performed as a hospital to which a user whose physical condition has deteriorated or who is suspected of being ill in the health check is transported.

[0045] The information on the plurality of hospitals may include information on hospitals that can accept emergency patients. When the control unit 13 receives the first signal, that is, when a user whose physical condition has deteriorated is detected in the medical examination, the control unit 13 may determine a hospital that can accept emergency patients as a hospital to which the user is to be transported. With this configuration, the user whose physical condition has deteriorated can be transported to a hospital that can accept emergency patients. A hospital that can accept emergency patients is highly likely to immediately examine the transported user. Thus, the user's physical condition can be quickly restored. Note that, when there are a plurality of hospitals that can accept emergency patients, the control unit 13 may preferentially determine a hospital that is close to the location where the medical examination is performed among the plurality of hospitals as a hospital to which the user is to be transported. For example, the control unit 13 determines a hospital that is close to the location where the medical examination is performed among a plurality of hospitals that can accept emergency patients as a hospital to which the user is to be transported.

[0046] [Example 2] The control unit 13 may determine, from among a plurality of hospitals, a hospital to which a user whose physical condition has deteriorated or who is suspected of being ill in a medical checkup should be transported, based on the result of the user's medical checkup and information on a plurality of hospitals located within a predetermined range from the location where the medical checkup is performed. By determining a hospital based on the result of the user's medical checkup, etc., it is possible to determine an appropriate hospital according to the user's health condition as the hospital to which the user should be transported.

[0047] The information on the hospitals may include information on illnesses that each of the hospitals can treat. In this case, the control unit 13 may estimate an illness suspected of the user from the results of the user's health check. When the control unit 13 receives the second signal, that is, when a user suspected of having an illness is detected, the control unit 13 may estimate an illness suspected of the user from the results of the user's health check. Each time the control unit 13 receives the results of the user's health check from the terminal device 30, the control unit 13 may estimate an illness suspected of the user from the results of the user's health check. The control unit 13 may determine a hospital that can treat the estimated illness suspected of the user among a plurality of hospitals located within a predetermined range from the place where the health check is performed as a hospital to which the user is to be transported. With this configuration, the user can be transported to a hospital that can treat the estimated illness suspected of the user. In addition, when there are a plurality of hospitals that can treat the estimated illness suspected of the user, the control unit 13 may preferentially determine a hospital that is close to the place where the health check is performed among the plurality of hospitals as a hospital to which the user is to be transported. For example, the control unit 13 determines a hospital that is closest to the place where the health check is performed among a plurality of hospitals that can treat the illness suspected of the user as a hospital to which the user is to be transported.

[0048] <Processing of decision notification> In the information processing device 10, when the control unit 13 determines the hospital to which the user will be transported, it generates a determination notification. The determination notification indicates that the hospital to which the user will be transported has been determined. The determination notification may indicate the name of the hospital to which the user will be transported. The control unit 13 transmits the determination notification to the terminal device 30 via the network 2 by the communication unit 11.

[0049] In the terminal device 30, the control unit 35 receives a decision notification from the information processing device 10 via the network 2 by the communication unit 31. The control unit 35 causes the output unit 33 to output the received decision notification. For example, the control unit 35 causes the output unit 33 to display the decision notification as an image on the display of the output unit 33, or to output the decision notification as sound from the speaker of the output unit 33. With this configuration, the medical staff can know that the hospital to which the user will be transported has been determined. The medical staff guides the user to the vehicle 20B or carries the user to the vehicle 20B.

[0050] <Control signal transmission processing> In the information processing device 10, the control unit 13, when determining the hospital to which the user is to be transported, identifies the vehicle 20B waiting at the location where the medical examination is to be performed, based on the dispatch schedule of the multiple vehicles 20. When the control unit 13 identifies the vehicle 20B, it generates a control signal. The control signal is a signal for causing the vehicle 20B to automatically drive and transport the user to the determined hospital. The control unit 13 transmits the generated control signal to the vehicle 20B via the network 2 by the communication unit 11. The vehicle 20B receives the control signal via the network 2. The vehicle 20B transports the user to the hospital in accordance with the control signal. Convenience can be improved by having the vehicle 20B transport the user to the hospital by automatic driving.

[0051] (System Operation) Fig. 3 is a sequence diagram showing the operation of the system 1 shown in Fig. 1. This operation corresponds to an example of the method according to the present embodiment. For example, when a medical checkup is started, the system 1 starts the process of step S1.

[0052] In the terminal device 30, the control unit 35 transmits the user's medical examination result and the user's identification information received from the medical equipment installed in the vehicle 20A to the information processing device 10 via the network 2 by the communication unit 31 (step S1). In the information processing device 10, the control unit 13 receives the user's medical examination result and the user's identification information from the terminal device 30 via the network 2 by the communication unit 11 (step S2).

[0053] In the terminal device 30, the control unit 35 detects a user whose physical condition has deteriorated or who is suspected of being ill during the health check (step S3). The control unit 35 transmits the first signal or the second signal and the user's identification information to the information processing device 10 via the network 2 through the communication unit 31 (step S4).

[0054] In the information processing device 10, the control unit 13 receives the first signal or the second signal and the user's identification information from the terminal device 30 via the network 2 by the communication unit 11 (step S5). The control unit 13 determines a hospital to which the user should be transported from among a plurality of hospitals located within a predetermined range from the location where the health checkup is to be performed (step S6).

[0055] In the information processing device 10, the control unit 13 transmits the decision notification to the terminal device 30 via the network 2 by the communication unit 11 (step S7). In the terminal device 30, the control unit 35 receives the decision notification from the information processing device 10 via the network 2 by the communication unit 31 (step S8).

[0056] In the information processing device 10, the control unit 13 transmits a control signal for automatically driving the vehicle 20B to transport the user to the determined hospital to the vehicle 20B via the network 2 by the communication unit 11 (step S9). The vehicle 20B receives the control signal via the network 2 (step S10).

[0057] In this way, in the information processing device 10, when a user whose physical condition has deteriorated or who is suspected of being ill is detected in the medical examination, the control unit 13 determines a hospital to which the user is to be transported from among a plurality of hospitals located within a predetermined range from the place where the medical examination is performed. Here, when the medical examination is performed at a place other than a hospital using the vehicle 20, there is a high possibility that there is no doctor at the place where the medical examination is performed. When a user whose physical condition has deteriorated or who is suspected of being ill is detected in the medical examination when there is no doctor at the place where the medical examination is performed, there is no doctor to diagnose the user, so the user is required to be transported to a hospital. In this embodiment, when a user whose physical condition has deteriorated or who is suspected of being ill is detected in the medical examination, the hospital to which the user is to be transported is determined, so that the user can be transported to the hospital quickly. Thus, according to this embodiment, a technology for quickly transporting a user to a hospital in a medical examination can be provided.

Therefore, it should be noted that these modifications and alterations are included in the scope of the present disclosure. For example, the functions included in each component or step can be rearranged so as not to be logically inconsistent, and multiple components or steps can be combined or divided into one.

[0059] For example, the terminal device 30 may execute the processing of the information processing device 10 according to the above-described embodiment. In other words, when the terminal device 30 detects a user whose physical condition has deteriorated or who is suspected of being ill during a health check, the terminal device 30 may determine a hospital to which the user should be transported from among a plurality of hospitals located within a predetermined range from the location where the health check is performed. In this case, the terminal device 30 functions as an information processing device.

[0060] For example, an embodiment is also possible in which a general-purpose computer functions as the information processing device 10 according to the above-described embodiment. Specifically, a program describing the processing contents for realizing each function of the information processing device 10 according to the above-described embodiment is stored in the memory of the general-purpose computer, and the program is read and executed by a processor.
