Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0012] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0013] <First Embodiment> The outline of the management device of the present disclosure will be described.

[0014] FIG. 1 is a diagram schematically showing an example of a configuration including a management device 100. As shown in FIG. 1, the management device 100 is communicably connected to mobile bodies 200-1, 200-2, ···, 200-n (n is a natural number of 1 or more) via a wireless or wired network. Here, when not distinguishing each of the mobile bodies 200-1, 200-2, ···, 200-n, the mobile bodies 200-1, 200-2, ···, 200-n are referred to as the mobile body 200.

[0015] The mobile body is a manned or unmanned aircraft. The mobile body is, for example, an airplane, a helicopter, a dirigible, and a multicopter (also called a multi-rotor helicopter or a multi-rotor, etc.). The unmanned aircraft may be called a UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle), a small unmanned aircraft, or a drone. The mobile body is not limited to this example. The mobile body may be any device capable of flying in a corridor.

[0016] Next, the corridor in the present disclosure will be described. A corridor is an area formed in the air, indicating a specific airspace through which a moving object passes. Here, the corridor may include a dedicated airspace for the passage of a moving object where a service that allows the moving object to pass safely is provided. Such a dedicated airspace, particularly an airspace specialized for drones, may also be called a drone highway. FIG. 2 is a conceptual diagram showing an example of a corridor. In the example of FIG. 2, the area through which the moving object passes is indicated by virtual blocks. Also in this example, the corridor is formed over a river. Areas C1 to C6 indicate the corridor. The moving object 200 enters the corridor, for example, by moving from area E1 to area C6. The moving object 200 moves, for example, in the order of area C6, area C5, area C4, area C3. Then, the moving object 200 exits the corridor by moving from area C3 to area O1. Each area may be indicated, for example, by latitude, longitude, and altitude. Note that, in the example of FIG. 2, an example where a corridor is formed over a river is shown, but the location where the corridor is formed is not limited to this example. For example, the corridor may be formed over a place with a lower population density than residential areas, such as the sea, mountains, and forests. Also, the corridor may be formed over a railway line, under an elevated structure, etc.

[0017] Further, for example, the observation device 300 may be arranged around the corridor. The observation device 300 is a device capable of communicating with the moving body 200. The observation device 300 and the moving body 200 communicate with each other by a communication method such as Bluetooth (registered trademark). The communication method is not limited to this example and may be a known method. The observation device 300 receives transmission information transmitted from the moving body 200 passing through the corridor and the area around the corridor (for example, areas E1, O1, O2). The transmission information includes the position information and identification information of the moving body 200. The moving body 200 may acquire its own position information by a positioning signal receiving device mounted on the moving body 200. The positioning signal receiving device receives, for example, a signal transmitted from a positioning satellite of GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) such as a GPS (Global Positioning System) satellite, and acquires position information indicating its own position based on the received signal. Note that the position information may include information indicating the altitude of the own vehicle. The altitude is acquired, for example, by an altimeter mounted on the moving body 200. The transmission information may be transmitted, for example, by a Remote Identification device mounted on the moving body. The observation device 300 transmits the transmission information to the management device 100. In this way, the management device 100 can acquire the information transmitted from the moving body 200. Note that the management device 100 may be an integrated device with the observation device 300.

[0018] FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of the management device 100 according to the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 3, the management device 100 includes an acquisition unit 110, a specifying unit 120, and a calculation unit 130.

[0019] The acquisition unit 110 acquires the position information of the moving body 200. For example, the acquisition unit 110 acquires the position information of the moving body by acquiring the transmission information transmitted from the moving body 200. Further, the acquisition unit 110 acquires corridor information. The corridor information includes information regarding the tolls defined for the corridor. The information regarding the tolls may be, for example, information indicating a toll corresponding to the area of the corridor. For example, in the case of the corridor information shown in the example of FIG. 2, information indicating the toll when passing through the section from area C3 to area C6 and the toll when passing through the section from area C1 to area C6 is included. The corridor information may be stored in an external device (not shown) that can communicate with the management device 100, or may be stored in a storage device (not shown) of the management device 100. The acquisition unit 110 acquires the corridor information from such an external device or storage device, for example. Note that the timing at which the acquisition unit 110 acquires the position information and the timing at which the acquisition unit 110 acquires the corridor information may be different.

[0020] In this way, the acquisition unit 110 acquires the position information of the flying moving body and the corridor information including information regarding the tolls defined for the corridor, which is a specific airspace. The acquisition unit 110 is an example of an acquisition means.

[0021] The specifying unit 120 specifies the area of the corridor through which the moving body 200 has passed based on the position information acquired by the acquisition unit 110. For example, the specifying unit 120 specifies that the moving body 200 has passed through areas E1, C6, C5, C4, C3, and O1 in this order from the position information. In this case, the specifying unit 120 specifies the area of the corridor through which the moving body 200 has passed as areas C6, C5, C4, and C3. Thereby, it becomes possible to recognize which part of the corridor the moving body 200 has used. Here, in the present disclosure, among the corridors, the area through which the moving body 200 has passed is also referred to as a passage area. In this example, the passage area is the section from area C6 to area C3.

[0022] In this way, based on the position information, the specifying unit 120 specifies a passage area, which is an area of the corridor through which the moving body has passed, among the corridors. The specifying unit 120 is an example of a specifying means.

[0023] The calculating unit 130 calculates a toll for the moving body 200. For example, the calculating unit 130 specifies, from the corridor information, the toll corresponding to the passage area specified by the specifying unit 120. Then, for example, the calculating unit 130 calculates the specified toll as the toll for the moving body 200.

[0024] In this way, the calculating unit 130 calculates a toll corresponding to the passage area based on the corridor information. The calculating unit 130 is an example of a calculating means.

[0025] Next, an example of the operation of the management device 100 will be described with reference to FIG. 4. In the present disclosure, each step of the flowchart is represented using the number assigned to each step, such as "S1".

[0026] FIG. 4 is a flowchart for explaining an example of the operation of the management device 100. The acquisition unit 110 acquires the position information of the flying moving body and the corridor information including information regarding the toll defined for a corridor, which is a specific airspace (S1). The specifying unit 120 specifies a passage area, which is an area of the corridor through which the moving body has passed, based on the position information (S2). The calculating unit 130 calculates a toll corresponding to the passage area based on the corridor information (S3).

[0027] As described above, the management device 100 of the first embodiment acquires the position information of the flying moving body and the corridor information including information regarding the toll, which is defined for a specific airspace corridor. Then, based on the position information, the management device 100 identifies the passage area, which is the area of the corridor through which the moving body has passed, and based on the corridor information, calculates the toll corresponding to the passage area. Thereby, the management device 100 can calculate a toll according to the use of the corridor. For example, even when the toll changes according to the usage status of the corridor, the management device 100 can calculate an appropriate toll. That is, the management device 100 of the first embodiment can appropriately calculate the toll required for passing through the corridor.

[0028] <Second Embodiment> Next, the management device of the second embodiment will be described. In the second embodiment, the management device 100 described in the first embodiment will be described in more detail. Note that descriptions of content overlapping with that described in the first embodiment will be partially omitted.

[0029] [Details of Management Device 100] FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of the management device 100 of the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 5, the management device 100 includes an acquisition unit 110, an identification unit 120, and a calculation unit 130. The management device 100 also has a storage device 190. Note that the storage device 190 may be an external device capable of communicating with the management device 100. The storage device 190 is an example of storage means.

[0030] The acquisition unit 110 acquires transmission information and corridor information. The transmission information includes the position information and identification information of the mobile body 200. The transmission information may further include information on the time when the mobile body 200 transmits the transmission information. The acquisition unit 110 may acquire the transmission information periodically. For example, assume that the mobile body 200 transmits the transmission information once per second. In this case, the management device 100 may acquire the transmission information via the observation device 300 every time the mobile body 200 transmits. The acquisition unit 110 may store the acquired transmission information in the storage device 190 for each identification information.

[0031] The corridor information is stored in the storage device 190. That is, the acquisition unit 110 acquires the corridor information from the storage device 190. FIG. 6 is an example of the corridor information. In the example of FIG. 6, it is information regarding the toll determined for the corridor shown in the example of FIG. 2. For example, in the record of the first row, a toll of 2000 yen is determined for the section from area C3 to area C6. This indicates that when passing through the section from area C3 to area C6, the owner of the mobile body 200 needs to pay 2000 yen. Thus, the corridor information includes, for example, information indicating the toll determined for each section of the corridor. Further, the corridor information may include information indicating the entire area of the corridor.

[0032] The specific unit 120 includes an owner identification unit 1201, a detection unit 1202, and a passage area identification unit 1203. The owner identification unit 1201 identifies the owner of the moving body 200. The transmitted information acquired by the acquisition unit 110 includes identification information. The specific unit 120 identifies information associated with the identification information included in the transmitted information based on the owner information. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of the owner information. The owner information is information regarding the owner of the moving body 200. For example, assume that the acquired transmitted information includes the identification information "001". In this case, the specific unit 120 identifies information indicating the owner name "X" and the billing destination "abc" associated with the identification information "001". Here, the billing destination indicates the billing destination for the toll. The billing destination may be, for example, information indicating the owner's bank account or information indicating the owner's credit card. The owner information may further include the owner's contact information, address, etc. The contact information may be, for example, the owner's email address or the owner's account in a web service. The contact information may be any information indicating a place where the owner can view it.

[0033] The detection unit 1202 detects whether the moving body 200 has entered the corridor or exited the corridor. For example, the detection unit 1202 identifies the area where the moving body is located from the position information of the moving body 200. When the area where the moving body is located changes from outside the corridor area to inside the corridor area, the detection unit 1202 detects that the moving body 200 has entered the corridor. Also, when the area where the moving body is located changes from inside the corridor area to outside the corridor area, the detection unit 1202 detects that the moving body has exited the corridor. In the example of FIG. 2, when the moving body 200 moves from area E1 to area C6, the detection unit 1202 detects that the moving body 200 has entered the corridor. Also, for example, when the moving body 200 moves from area C1 to area 2, the detection unit 1202 detects that the moving body 200 has exited the corridor. In this way, the detection unit 1202 detects the entry and exit of the moving body 200 to and from the corridor based on the position information.

[0034] The passage area specifying unit 1203 specifies the passage area, which is the area within the corridor that the moving body 200 has passed through. For example, assume that the detection unit 1202 detects that the moving body 200 has left the corridor. At this time, the passage area specifying unit 1203 specifies the passage area of the moving body 200 that has left the corridor. For example, assume that the moving body 200 enters from area E1 to area C6 and exits from area C3 to area O1. In this case, the passage area specifying unit 1203 specifies, for example, the section from area C6 to area C3 as the passage area of the moving body 200. The passage area specifying unit 1203 may store the specified passage area in the storage device 190 in association with the identification information of the moving body 200. In this way, the passage area specifying unit 1203 specifies, for example, the section of the corridor that the moving body has passed through as the passage area.

[0035] The calculation unit 130 includes a toll calculation unit 1301 and a toll billing unit 1302. The toll calculation unit 1301 calculates the toll for the moving body 200 that has passed through the corridor. Specifically, the toll calculation unit 1301 calculates the toll corresponding to the passage area specified by the passage area specifying unit 1203. For example, assume that the passage area indicates the section from area C6 to area C3. And assume that the corridor information shown in FIG. 6 is acquired by the acquisition unit 110. In this case, the toll calculation unit 1301 calculates "2000 yen", which is the toll corresponding to the section from area C6 to area C3, as the toll. In this way, the toll calculation unit 1301 calculates the toll corresponding to the section indicated in the passage area as the toll.

[0036] The charge claim section 1302 claims the charges. Specifically, the charge claim section 1302 claims the toll calculated by the toll calculation section 1301 to the owner identified by the owner identification section 1201. For example, assuming that a toll of 2000 yen is calculated for the moving body with the identification information "001". The charge claim section 1302 claims 2000 yen to the billing destination "abc" associated with the identification information "001" based on the owner information shown in FIG. 7. When the billing destination is a bank account, the charge claim section 1302 withdraws the toll from the bank account shown in the billing destination. When the billing destination is a credit card, the charge claim section 1302 settles the toll amount with the credit card shown in the billing destination.

[0037] [Operation example of the management device 100] Next, an example of the operation of the management device 100 will be described with reference to FIG. 8. In this operation example, the acquisition section 110 acquires the transmission information at any time.

[0038] FIG. 8 is a flowchart for explaining an example of the operation of the management device 100. The processing of this operation example may be advanced after the moving body 200 is located in the area near the corridor (for example, area E1). In this case, the detection section 1202 may detect that the moving body 200 is located in the area near the corridor.

[0039] First, the owner identification unit 1201 identifies the owner based on the transmission information (S101). For example, the owner is identified from the owner information based on the identification information included in the transmission information. The detection unit 1202 detects the entry of the mobile body 200 into the corridor (S102). For example, when the position information of the mobile body 200 moves from an area outside the corridor to an area inside the corridor, the detection unit 1202 detects the entry of the mobile body 200 into the corridor. Then, the detection unit 1202 detects the exit of the mobile body 200 from the corridor (S103). For example, when the position information of the mobile body 200 moves from an area inside the corridor to an area outside the corridor, the detection unit 1202 detects the exit of the mobile body 200 from the corridor. The acquisition unit 110 acquires corridor information (S104). The passage area identification unit 1203 identifies the area of the corridor through which the mobile body 200 has passed as the passage area (S105). The toll calculation unit 1301 calculates the toll to be charged to the owner of the mobile body 200 based on the passage area (S106). Then, the toll billing unit 1302 bills the calculated toll to the billing destination of the identified owner (S107).

[0040] In this way, the management device 100 of the second embodiment acquires the position information of the flying mobile body and the corridor information including information regarding the toll defined for a specific airspace, the corridor. Then, the management device 100 identifies, based on the position information, the passage area which is the area of the corridor through which the mobile body has passed, and calculates the toll corresponding to the passage area based on the corridor information. Thereby, the management device 100 can calculate a toll according to the use of the corridor. For example, even when the toll changes according to the use status of the corridor, the management device 100 can calculate an appropriate toll. That is, the management device 100 of the first embodiment can appropriately calculate the toll required for passing through the corridor.

[0041] Also, in the second embodiment, the corridor information may include information indicating a fee determined for each section of the corridor. Then, the management device 100 may specify the section of the corridor through which the moving body has passed as a passage area, and calculate the fee corresponding to the section indicated in the passage area as a passage fee. Thereby, even when the passage fee changes according to the section of the corridor through which the moving body passes among the corridors, the management device 100 can calculate an appropriate fee.

[0042] [Modification Example 1] In the above embodiment, an example in which the corridor information includes information indicating a fee determined for each section of the corridor as a passage fee according to the area of the corridor has been described. The example of the corridor information is not limited to this example.

[0043] For example, the corridor information may include information indicating a fee determined for each distance traveled through the corridor as a passage fee according to the area of the corridor. In this case, the corridor information includes, for example, information such as the fee per 10 km of the corridor is 2000 yen.

[0044] Then, the passage area specifying unit 1203 specifies the distance traveled by the moving body 200 through the corridor as the passage area. For example, it is assumed that the detection unit 1202 has detected that the moving body 200 has exited the corridor. At this time, the passage area specifying unit 1203 specifies the passage area of the moving body 200 that has exited the corridor. Based on the position information, the distance traveled by the moving body through the corridor is specified as the passage area. For example, it is assumed that the moving body 200 has entered from area E1 to area C6 and exited from area C3 to area O1. In this case, the passage area specifying unit 1203 specifies, for example, the distance from when the moving body 200 entered area C6 to when it exited area O1 as the passage area of the moving body 200.

[0045] The toll calculation unit 1301 calculates the toll corresponding to the distance indicated in the passing area as the passing toll. Specifically, the toll calculation unit 1301 calculates the toll corresponding to the passing area specified by the passing area specifying unit 1203. For example, assume that the passing area is 20 km. In this case, if the toll per 10 km of the corridor is 2000 yen, the toll calculation unit 1301 calculates 4000 yen as the passing toll.

[0046] In this way, the corridor information may include information indicating the toll determined for each distance traveled through the corridor. In this case, the management device 100 may specify, as the passing area, the distance traveled by the moving body in the corridor, and calculate the toll corresponding to the distance indicated in the passing area as the passing toll. Thereby, even when the passing toll changes according to the distance traveled by the moving body in the corridor, the management device 100 can calculate an appropriate toll.

[0047] [Modification Example 2] The position information may be acquired by a method that does not use GNSS. For example, a positioning signal receiving device mounted on the moving body 200 may receive a signal transmitted from a positioning device 400 installed on the ground and acquire position information indicating the position of its own device based on the received signal. FIG. 9 is a conceptual diagram showing an example when the area including the corridor is viewed from above. Specifically, FIG. 9 is a view of the various areas shown in FIG. 2 viewed from above. As shown in FIG. 9, a plurality of positioning devices 400 are installed so as to sandwich the area. For example, when the corridor is formed over a river, the positioning devices 400 may be installed on both banks of the river.

[0048] For example, when the moving body 200 is in area C5, signals are received from both of the positioning devices 400 installed on both banks of the river. Then, the positioning signal receiving device mounted on the moving body 200 may be configured to acquire its own position information using the principle of triangulation. In this case, the various areas included in the corridor information are represented in the same coordinate system as the position information acquired by this method.

[0049] <The Third Embodiment> Next, the management device according to the third embodiment will be described. In the third embodiment, an example of calculating a toll according to various situations when the moving body passes through the corridor will be described. Note that descriptions of content overlapping with that described in the first and second embodiments will be partially omitted.

[0050] FIG. 10 is a conceptual diagram showing an example of a corridor. In the example of FIG. 10, a corridor is also formed above the corridor in the example of FIG. 2. Regions C1 to C6 are referred to as corridor A, and regions C11 to C16 are referred to as corridor B. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, it is assumed that various regions including the corridor are formed.

[0051] [Details of Management Device 101] FIG. 11 is a block diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of the management device 101 according to the third embodiment. As shown in FIG. 11, the management device 101 includes an acquisition unit 111, a specification unit 121, and a calculation unit 131. The management device 101 also has a storage device 190.

[0052] In addition to the processing of the acquisition unit 110, the acquisition unit 111 may perform the following processing. The acquisition unit 111 may acquire charging record information indicating a record of the moving body 200 using the charging facility. The charging facility (not shown) is a facility for charging the moving body 200. For example, a moving body using the corridor and having a remaining battery level less than a predetermined value moves to the charging facility and is charged. The charging method may be a known method. At this time, the charging facility acquires transmission information from the moving body 200 and transmits the charging record information including the identification information of the moving body 200 to the management device 101 via the observation device 300. At this time, the charging record information includes, for example, information indicating the time when the moving body 200 was charged. Further, the charging record information may include information indicating the amount of electric power at the time of charging and the remaining battery level of the moving body 200. The charging facility is installed, for example, around the corridor. The acquisition unit 11 may store the charging record information in the storage device 190.

[0053] In addition to the processing of the specific part 120, the specific part 121 may perform the processing described below. The specific part 121 includes an owner identification part 1211, a detection part 1212, and a passage area identification part 1213. The owner identification part 1211 identifies the owner of the mobile body 200 from the owner information. FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of the owner information. In the example of FIG. 12, information on the charging method and information on whether insurance is subscribed are added to the owner information shown in FIG. 7. The charging methods include, for example, per - usage charging and flat - rate charging. Per - usage charging is a method in which the owner of the mobile body 200 pays a toll for each use of the corridor. Flat - rate charging is a method in which the owner of the mobile body 200 can use the corridor for a certain period by paying a predetermined amount of fee in advance. That is, the information on the charging method indicates whether the owner is a per - usage charger or a flat - rate charger. In the example of FIG. 12, the owner with the identification information "001" is shown to be a per - usage charger. When the owner is a flat - rate charger, the calculation unit 131 may not calculate the fee. Thus, the owner identification part 1211 may identify whether the owner is a per - usage charger or a flat - rate charger from the storage means including information on the owner of the mobile body based on the identification information.

[0054] The information on whether insurance is subscribed indicates whether the owner is subscribed to insurance related to the mobile body 200. The insurance in this case may be, for example, insurance that guarantees an amount when the owner is liable for damages in the event that the mobile body 200 collides with an object or a person. Also, the insurance may be insurance that guarantees an amount when it breaks down. In the example of FIG. 12, the owner with the identification information "001" is shown to be subscribed to insurance. Thus, the owner identification part 1211 may identify whether the owner is subscribed to insurance from the storage means including information on the owner of the mobile body 200 based on the identification information.

[0055] The detection unit 1212 detects the entry into and exit from areas of corridors with different altitudes. The detection unit 1212 identifies the area where the moving body is located from the position information of the moving body 200. At this time, the position information includes information indicating the altitude of the moving body 200. By also using the information indicating the altitude, the detection unit 1212 detects whether the moving body 200 has entered, for example, from area E1 to area C6 or from area E1 to area C16. Similarly, when the moving body 200 exits area O1, the detection unit 1212 also uses the information indicating the altitude to detect whether the moving body 200 has exited from area C3 or from area C13.

[0056] Furthermore, the detection unit 1212 may detect the speed of the moving body 200. For example, the detection unit 1212 may detect the moving speed per unit time, such as the speed per hour, from the position information of the moving body 200 acquired at any time.

[0057] The passage area specifying unit 1213 specifies a passage area including information indicating the area corresponding to the altitude at which the moving body has passed in the corridor. For example, assume that the moving body 200 has entered from area E1 to area C6 and exited from area C3 to area O1. In this case, the passage area specifying unit 1213 specifies the section from area C6 to area C3, which is a section of corridor A, as the passage area of the moving body 200. Also, for example, assume that the moving body 200 has entered from area E1 to area C16 and exited from area C13 to area O1. In this case, the passage area specifying unit 1213 specifies the section from area C16 to area C13, which is a section of corridor B with a higher altitude than corridor A, as the passage area of the moving body 200.

[0058] In addition to the processing of the calculation unit 130, the calculation unit 131 may perform the processing described below. The calculation unit 131 includes a toll calculation unit 1311 and a toll billing unit 1312. The toll calculation unit 1311 calculates a toll based on the corridor information and the passing area. FIG. 13 is a diagram showing an example of corridor information. In the example of FIG. 13, the tolls corresponding to each section of Corridor A and the tolls corresponding to each section of Corridor B are determined. For example, when the passing area indicates the section from Area C6 to Area C3, the toll calculation unit 1311 calculates "2000 yen" as the toll. Also, for example, when the passing area indicates the section from Area C16 to Area C13, the toll calculation unit 1311 calculates "3000 yen" as the toll. In this way, the toll calculation unit 1311 may calculate the toll corresponding to the passing area according to the altitude.

[0059] As shown in FIG. 10, corridors with different altitudes may be formed. When the toll for passing through Corridor A is lower than that for passing through Corridor B, Corridor A is more likely to be congested than Corridor B. That is, since Corridor B is more likely to be empty than Corridor A, the moving body 200 can pass through smoothly. When the owner wants to make the moving body 200 move quickly towards the destination, for example, the owner controls the moving body 200 to pass through Corridor B. In this way, even when different tolls are set for a plurality of corridors with different altitudes, the toll calculation unit 1311 can appropriately calculate the toll.

[0060] Further, the toll calculation unit 1311 may further calculate a toll according to various usage situations. At this time, the toll calculation unit 1311 calculates the toll based on the option information included in the corridor information. FIG. 14 is a diagram showing an example of the option information. The option information is information indicating a toll to be added to or subtracted from the toll corresponding to the passage area. In the example of FIG. 14, the option information includes items such as "time zone discount", "excess speed toll", "charging facility usage fee", and "insurance discount". The time zone discount is information indicating a toll determined according to the time when the mobile body 200 passes through the corridor. For example, the time zone discount indicates information such as a 500 yen reduction when using the corridor between 22:00 and 6:00. For example, the toll calculation unit 1311 determines whether the mobile body 200 uses the corridor in a time zone where the time zone discount is applicable from the time information included in the transmission information. When the time zone discount is applicable, the toll calculation unit 1311 calculates, as the toll, the toll obtained by subtracting the toll corresponding to the time zone discount from the toll corresponding to the passage area. For example, when the toll corresponding to the passage area is 2000 yen, the toll calculation unit 1311 calculates 1500 yen obtained by subtracting 500 yen from 2000 yen as the toll. In this way, the corridor information may include information indicating a toll determined according to the time when the mobile body 200 passes through. And the toll calculation unit 1311 may calculate the toll according to the time when the mobile body 200 passes through.

[0061] Also, in the example of FIG. 14, the excess speed toll is information indicating a toll required when the mobile body 200 passes through the corridor at a speed exceeding a predetermined speed. In the example of FIG. 14, it shows that when the speed of the mobile body 200 detected by the detection unit 1212 exceeds the predetermined speed, a toll of 1000 yen is added. For example, when the toll corresponding to the passage area is 2000 yen, the toll calculation unit 1311 calculates 3000 yen obtained by adding 1000 yen to 2000 yen as the toll. In this way, the corridor information may include information indicating a toll determined according to the speed at which the mobile body passes through. And the toll calculation unit 1311 may calculate the toll according to the speed at which the mobile body 200 passes through.

[0062] Also, in the example of FIG. 14, the charging facility usage fee is information indicating the fee required when the mobile body 200 uses the charging facility. In the example of FIG. 14, it is shown that the fee required for using the charging facility is 100 yen per minute. The fee calculation unit 1311 calculates the charging facility usage fee for the mobile body 200 based on the charging record information acquired by the acquisition unit 111. For example, assume that the charging record information indicates that the charging facility has been used for 10 minutes. In this case, the fee calculation unit 1311 calculates 1000 yen as the charging facility usage fee. And, for example, when the fee corresponding to the passage area is 2000 yen, the fee calculation unit 1311 calculates 3000 yen, which is obtained by adding 1000 yen to 2000 yen, as the passage fee. The corridor information may include information indicating the fee required for using the charging facilities installed around the corridor. And the fee calculation unit 1311 may calculate, as the passage fee, the fee obtained by adding the fee required for using the charging facility indicated in the charging record information to the fee corresponding to the passage area.

[0063] Also, in the example of FIG. 14, the insurance discount is information indicating the fee determined according to whether the owner of the mobile body 200 has subscribed to insurance. In the example of FIG. 14, it is shown that when subscribed to insurance, the passage fee is reduced by 300 yen. Whether the owner of the mobile body 200 has subscribed to insurance is specified by the owner identification unit 1211. For example, when the fee corresponding to the passage area is 2000 yen and the owner has subscribed to insurance, the fee calculation unit 1311 calculates 1700 yen, which is obtained by subtracting 300 yen from 2000 yen, as the passage fee. In this way, the fee calculation unit 1311 may calculate different passage fees according to whether the owner has subscribed to insurance.

[0064] Note that each of the time - zone discount, the speed - exceeding fee, the charging facility usage fee, and the insurance discount can be applied in combination.

[0065] [Operation Example of Management Device 101] Next, an example of the operation of the management device 101 will be described with reference to FIG. 15. In this operation example, the acquisition unit 111 acquires, at any time, transmission information including the time when the mobile body 200 transmits the transmission information and information indicating the altitude of the mobile body 200.

[0066] FIG. 15 is a flowchart for explaining an example of the operation of the management device 100. The processing of this operation example may be advanced after the mobile body 200 is located in a region near the corridor (for example, region E1). In this case, the detection unit 1212 may detect that the mobile body 200 is located in a region near the corridor.

[0067] The owner identification unit 1211 identifies the owner based on the transmission information (S201). At this time, the owner identification unit 1211 identifies, for example, whether the owner has subscribed to insurance and whether the owner is a metered-billing customer or a flat-rate-billing customer. If the owner is a flat-rate-billing customer (Yes in S202), the management device 101 does not need to perform the subsequent processes. If the owner is not a flat-rate-billing customer (No in S202), the detection unit 1212 detects the entry of the mobile body 200 into the corridor (S203). At this time, the detection unit 1212 detects, for example, from the altitude information included in the position information which corridor among a plurality of corridors the mobile body has entered. The acquisition unit 111 acquires charging record information from the charging facility (S204). Then, the detection unit 1212 detects the exit of the mobile body 200 from the corridor (S205). Also, the detection unit 1212 detects the speed of the mobile body 200 based on the position information (S206). The acquisition unit 111 acquires corridor information (S207). The passage area identification unit 1213 identifies the area of the corridor through which the mobile body 200 has passed as the passage area (S208). The toll calculation unit 1311 calculates the toll to be billed to the owner of the mobile body 200 (S209). At this time, the toll calculation unit 1311 calculates, for example, as the toll, a toll obtained by adding or subtracting at least any one of a toll corresponding to the passage area, a toll determined according to the time when the mobile body 200 passes, a toll determined according to the speed at which the mobile body passes, a toll required for using the charging facility, and a toll determined according to whether the owner of the mobile body 200 has subscribed to insurance. Then, the toll billing unit 1312 bills the calculated toll to the billing destination of the owner (S210).

[0068] Note that in this operation example, an example in which the processes after S203 are not performed when the owner is a flat-rate-billing customer has been described. On the other hand, the processes after S203 may be performed even if the owner is a flat-rate-billing customer. In this case, for example, in S209, the toll calculation unit 1311 may calculate only the toll based on the toll determined according to the speed at which the mobile body passes and the toll required for using the charging facility.

[0069] Thus, in the third embodiment, the position information may include information indicating the altitude of the moving body, and the corridor information may include information indicating a fee determined according to the altitude of the corridor. Then, the management device 101 may identify a passage area including information indicating an area corresponding to the altitude at which the moving body passed among the corridors, and calculate a passage fee corresponding to the passage area according to the altitude. For the corridors formed in the air, the passage fee may vary according to the altitude of the corridor. With the above configuration, the management device 101 can calculate an appropriate fee even when the passage fee varies according to the altitude of the corridor.

[0070] Also, in the third embodiment, the corridor information may include information indicating a fee required for using charging facilities installed around the corridor. Then, the management device 101 acquires charging record information indicating a record of the moving body using the charging facilities, and calculates, as the passage fee, a fee obtained by adding the fee required for using the charging facilities indicated in the charging record information to the fee corresponding to the passage area. Thereby, even when the moving body 200 uses the charging facilities when passing through the corridor, the management device 101 can calculate an appropriate fee.

[0071] Also, the corridor information may include information indicating a fee determined according to the time. Then, the management device 101 may calculate, as the passage fee, a fee obtained by reflecting the fee according to the time when the moving body passes on the fee corresponding to the passage area. Also, the corridor information may include information indicating a fee determined according to the speed. Then, the management device 101 may calculate, as the passage fee, a fee obtained by reflecting the fee according to the speed at which the moving body passes on the fee corresponding to the passage area. Thereby, when the fee is determined according to the speed or time when the moving body 200 passes through the corridor, the management device 101 can calculate an appropriate fee according to the speed and time.

[0072] Further, the management device 101 of the third embodiment may acquire transmission information including position information and identification information of the moving body, and based on the identification information, specify whether the owner of the moving body has insurance coverage from storage means including information regarding the owner of the moving body. Then, the management device 101 may calculate different tolls according to whether the owner has insurance coverage. Thereby, the management device 101 can calculate tolls according to whether the owner has insurance coverage for corridor use.

[0073] <Fourth Embodiment> Next, the management device of the fourth embodiment will be described. In the fourth embodiment, an example in which the management device acquires a flight plan of the moving body will be described. Note that descriptions of content overlapping with that described in the first, second, and third embodiments will be partially omitted. Also, in this embodiment, it is assumed that the corridor shown in the example of FIG. 10 is formed.

[0074] [Details of Management Device 102] FIG. 16 is a block diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of the management device 102 of the fourth embodiment. As shown in FIG. 16, the management device 102 includes an acquisition unit 111, a specification unit 121, a calculation unit 132, a flight plan acquisition unit 140, and a notification unit 150. Further, the management device 101 has a storage device 190.

[0075] The flight plan acquisition unit 140 acquires the flight plan of the mobile body 200. The flight plan includes information regarding the route along which the mobile body 200 flies. The flight plan is, for example, pre-filled by the owner of the mobile body 200 and received by the management device 102. The flight plan is stored in the storage device 190. FIG. 17 is a diagram showing an example of the flight plan. In the example of FIG. 17, the flight plan shows identification information, a corridor entry area, an entry time, a corridor exit area, an exit time, a flight route, and loading information. In this example, it is shown that the mobile body with identification information 001 enters area C6 at 0:20, passes through areas C5 to C3, exits area O1 at 0:50, and is loaded with 5 kg of food. Note that the example of the flight plan is not limited to this example. For example, the flight plan may show information on the location where the mobile body 200 departs and the location where the mobile body 200 arrives.

[0076] The notification unit 150 notifies the owner of the flight performance. The flight performance includes information regarding the route along which the mobile body 200 actually flies. FIG. 18 is a diagram showing an example of the flight performance. In the example of FIG. 18, the flight performance shows identification information, a corridor entry area, an entry time, a corridor exit area, an exit time, and a flight route. In this example, it is shown that the mobile body with identification information 001 enters area C16 at 0:20, passes through areas C15 to C13, and exits area O1 at 0:50. The notification unit 150 generates such flight performance and notifies the generated flight performance to the contact information of the owner. Here, the notification unit 150 may compare the flight plan with the flight performance. For example, assume that the flight plan shown in FIG. 17 is acquired and the flight performance shown in FIG. 18 is generated. At this time, it can be seen that the mobile body with identification information 001 has passed through a route different from the flight route shown in the flight plan. The notification unit 150 may notify the owner that the route along which the mobile body with identification information 001 actually flies is different from the flight plan. Here, the notification unit 150 may highlight the portions that are different from the flight plan in the flight performance notified to the owner. In the example of FIG. 18, underlines are drawn at the portions of the flight performance that are different from the flight plan.

[0077] In addition to the processing of the calculation unit 131, the calculation unit 132 may perform the following-described processing. The calculation unit 132 includes a toll calculation unit 1321 and a toll billing unit 1312. The toll calculation unit 1321 may calculate a toll based on the loading information of the mobile body 200. In this case, the corridor information includes information indicating a toll determined according to the loading amount, such as 100 yen per 1 kg. In this case, for example, when the mobile body 200 is loaded with 5 kg of food, the toll calculation unit 1321 calculates, as the toll, the toll corresponding to the passing area plus 500 yen. In this way, the toll calculation unit 1321 may calculate, as the toll, the toll corresponding to the passing area plus the toll according to the loading amount of the mobile body included in the flight plan.

[0078] Further, when the flight plan and the flight record are different, the toll calculation unit 1321 may add a predetermined amount of toll to the toll. For example, when the flight route shown in the flight plan is different from the flight route shown in the flight record, 500 yen may be added to the toll.

[0079] [Operation Example of Management Device 102] Next, an example of the operation of the management device 102 will be described with reference to FIG. 19. In this operation example, the acquisition unit 111 acquires the transmission information at any time.

[0080] The owner identification unit 1211 identifies the owner based on the transmission information (S301). Then, the flight plan acquisition unit 140 acquires the flight plan (S302). For example, the flight plan acquisition unit 140 acquires, from the storage device 190, the flight plan including the identification information based on the identification information included in the transmission information. Since the processing of S303 to S309 is the same as the processing of S202 to S208 in FIG. 15, the description thereof is omitted.

[0081] The notification unit 150 generates flight records. For example, the notification unit 150 generates flight records based on information regarding entry into and exit from the corridor detected by the detection unit 1212 and information on the passage area specified by the passage area specifying unit 1213. The toll calculation unit 1321 calculates the toll (S311). At this time, the toll calculation unit 1321 may reflect, for example, the loading information of the mobile body 200 and the toll based on the difference between the flight plan and the flight record in the toll. Then, the notification unit 150 notifies the owner of the flight record (S312). The toll billing unit 1312 bills the owner for the toll (S313).

[0082] In this way, the management device 102 of the fourth embodiment acquires the flight plan of the mobile body. When the information indicating the toll determined according to the loading amount is included in the corridor information, the management device 102 may calculate, as the toll, the toll obtained by adding the toll according to the loading amount of the mobile body included in the flight plan to the toll corresponding to the passage area. Thereby, when the toll is determined according to the loading amount of the mobile body when passing through the corridor, the management device 102 can calculate an appropriate toll according to the loading amount.

[0083] Further, the management device 102 may notify the owner of the mobile body of the flight record of the mobile body. At this time, when there is a difference between the flight plan and the flight record, the management device 102 may notify the owner that there is a difference. Thereby, the management device 102 can cause the owner of the mobile body to confirm whether the mobile body has moved as planned or not.

[0084] <Example of the hardware configuration of the management device> The hardware constituting the management devices of the above-described first, second, third, and fourth embodiments will be described.

Also, the program 98 may be recorded on a storage medium 80 and read using the drive device 97, or may be transmitted to the computer device 90 from an external device (not shown) via a network (not shown).

[0087] The input / output interface 95 exchanges data with peripheral devices (such as a keyboard, a mouse, and a display device) 99. The input / output interface 95 functions as means for acquiring or outputting data. The bus 96 connects each component.

[0088] Note that there are various modifications to the method of realizing the management device. For example, the management device can be realized as a dedicated device. Also, the management device can be realized based on a combination of a plurality of devices.

[0089] A processing method of recording a program for realizing each component in the functions of each embodiment on a storage medium, reading the program recorded on the storage medium as code, and executing it on a computer is also included in the scope of each embodiment. That is, a computer-readable storage medium is also included in the scope of each embodiment.
