[0038] FIG. 3 is a sequence diagram for explaining a first example of an information processing method executed by the information processing system 1 of FIG. 1. With reference to FIG. 3, a first example of the information processing method executed by the information processing system 1 of FIG. 1 will be mainly described. The sequence diagram shown in FIG. 3 shows the basic processing flow of the information processing method executed by the information processing system 1 before a predetermined time elapses after the vehicle 20 places and distributes the load at the first position. In the present disclosure, the "predetermined time" is, for example, the time when the vehicle 20 starts moving toward the next destination from the placement location, and includes the time elapsed since the vehicle 20 placed and distributed the load at the first position.

[0039] In step S100, the control unit 26 of the vehicle 20 drives the vehicle 20 so that the vehicle 20 autonomously delivers the load and places the load at an arbitrary first position at the recipient's receiving address as the placement location.

[0040] In step S101, the control unit 26 of the vehicle 20 captures a first image when the vehicle 20 places the load at the first position, using the imaging unit 24.

[0041] In step S102, the control unit 26 of the vehicle 20 transmits the first image captured using the imaging unit 24 in step S101 to the user. More specifically, the control unit 26 first transmits the first image to the information processing device 10 via the network 40 using the communication unit 21. As a result, the control unit 13 of the information processing device 10 receives the first image from the vehicle 20 via the network 40 and the communication unit 11.

[0042] In step S103, the control unit 13 of the information processing apparatus 10 transmits the first image received in step S102 to the terminal device 30 via the communication unit 11 and the network 40. As a result, the control unit 35 of the terminal device 30 receives, from the information processing apparatus 10, the first image when the vehicle 20 places and distributes the luggage at the first position via the network 40 and the communication unit 31.

[0043] In step S104, the control unit 35 of the terminal device 30 uses the output unit 34 to display the first image acquired in step S103, and allows the user to confirm the first image. The control unit 35 receives, using the input unit 33, correction information from the user who has confirmed the first image and that is for driving the vehicle 20 to correct the placement location from the first position to the second position.

[0044] For example, the control unit 35 receives correction information when the user selects the position corresponding to the second position in the first image while using the input unit 33 of the terminal device 30. In the present disclosure, the "selection operation" includes, for example, an operation using a physical key, an operation using a capacitance key, a touch operation on a touch screen provided integrally with the display of the output unit 34, and a voice operation using a microphone that receives voice input.

[0045] In step S105, the control unit 35 of the terminal device 30 transmits the correction information received in step S104 to the vehicle 20. More specifically, the control unit 35 first transmits the correction information to the information processing apparatus 10 via the network 40 using the communication unit 31. As a result, the control unit 13 of the information processing apparatus 10 receives the correction information from the terminal device 30 via the network 40 and the communication unit 11.

[0046] In step S106, the control unit 13 of the information processing apparatus 10 transmits the correction information received in step S105 to the vehicle 20 via the communication unit 11 and the network 40. As a result, the control unit 26 of the vehicle 20 receives, via the network 40 and the communication unit 21, the correction information from the information processing apparatus 10, which is the correction information from the user who has confirmed the first image and is for correcting the placement location. For example, when the user selects an operation on the terminal device 30 to select a position corresponding to the second position in the first image, the control unit 26 receives the correction information from the information processing apparatus 10 via the network 40 and the communication unit 21.

[0047] In step S107, the control unit 26 of the vehicle 20 drives the vehicle 20 to correct the placement location from the first position to the second position based on the correction information acquired in step S106. That is, the control unit 26 drives the vehicle 20 to place the luggage at the second position designated by the user. For example, when the control unit 26 receives the correction information before a predetermined time elapses after the vehicle 20 places the luggage at the first position in step S100, the control unit 26 drives the vehicle 20 to correct the placement location from the first position to the second position based on the correction information.

[0048] In step S108, the control unit 26 of the vehicle 20 captures a second image when the vehicle 20 places the luggage at the second position due to the correction of the placement location, using the imaging unit 24.

[0049] In step S109, the control unit 26 of the vehicle 20 transmits the second image captured using the imaging unit 24 in step S108 to the user. More specifically, the control unit 26 first transmits the second image to the information processing apparatus 10 via the network 40 using the communication unit 21. As a result, the control unit 13 of the information processing apparatus 10 receives the second image from the vehicle 20 via the network 40 and the communication unit 11.

[0050] In step S110, the control unit 13 of the information processing apparatus 10 transmits the second image received in step S109 to the terminal device 30 via the communication unit 11 and the network 40. As a result, the control unit 35 of the terminal device 30 receives, via the network 40 and the communication unit 31, the second image when the vehicle 20 places the luggage at the second position by modifying the placement location.

[0051] In step S111, the control unit 35 of the terminal device 30 displays the second image acquired in step S110 using the output unit 34, allowing the user to view the second image. The control unit 35 receives, using the input unit 33, approval information from the user who has viewed the second image and approves that the placement location is the second position.

[0052] In step S112, the control unit 35 of the terminal device 30 transmits the approval information received in step S111 to the vehicle 20. More specifically, the control unit 35 first transmits the approval information to the information processing apparatus 10 via the network 40 using the communication unit 31. As a result, the control unit 13 of the information processing apparatus 10 receives the approval information from the terminal device 30 via the network 40 and the communication unit 11.

[0053] In step S113, the control unit 13 of the information processing apparatus 10 transmits the approval information received in step S112 to the vehicle 20 via the communication unit 11 and the network 40. As a result, the control unit 26 of the vehicle 20 receives, via the network 40 and the communication unit 21, approval information from the user who has viewed the second image and approves that the placement location is the second position.

[0054] In step S114, based on the approval information received in step S113, the control unit 26 of the vehicle 20 drives the vehicle 20 so that it moves from the placement location towards the next destination. The control unit 26 executes such processing even before a predetermined time has elapsed since the vehicle 20 placed the luggage at the first position in step S100.

[0055] Figure 4 is a sequence diagram for explaining a second example of the information processing method executed by the information processing system 1 of FIG. 1. With reference to FIG. 4, a second example of the information processing method executed by the information processing system 1 of FIG. 1 will be mainly described. The sequence diagram shown in FIG. 4 shows the processing flow of the information processing method executed by the information processing system 1 before a predetermined time elapses after the vehicle 20 places and distributes the luggage at the first position.

[0056] In step S200, the control unit 26 of the vehicle 20 drives the vehicle 20 so that the vehicle 20 autonomously delivers the luggage and places and distributes the luggage at an arbitrary first position at the recipient's receiving address as the placement location.

[0057] In step S201, the control unit 26 of the vehicle 20 captures a first image when the vehicle 20 places and distributes the luggage at the first position, using the imaging unit 24.

[0058] In step S202, the control unit 26 of the vehicle 20 transmits the first image captured using the imaging unit 24 in step S201 to the user. More specifically, the control unit 26 first transmits the first image to the information processing device 10 via the network 40 using the communication unit 21. As a result, the control unit 13 of the information processing device 10 receives the first image from the vehicle 20 via the network 40 and the communication unit 11.

[0059] In step S203, the control unit 13 of the information processing device 10 transmits the first image received in step S202 to the terminal device 30 via the communication unit 11 and the network 40. As a result, the control unit 35 of the terminal device 30 receives the first image when the vehicle 20 places and distributes the luggage at the first position from the information processing device 10 via the network 40 and the communication unit 31.

[0060] In step S204, the control unit 35 of the terminal device 30 displays the first image acquired in step S203 using the output unit 34, allowing the user to view the first image. The control unit 35 receives, from the user who has viewed the first image, collection information for the vehicle 20 to temporarily collect the parcels that have been placed and distributed, using the input unit 33. For example, when the user selects the "Collection" item displayed on the output unit 34 while using the input unit 33 of the terminal device 30, the control unit 35 receives the collection information.

[0061] In step S205, the control unit 35 of the terminal device 30 transmits the collection information received in step S204 to the vehicle 20. More specifically, the control unit 35 first transmits the collection information to the information processing device 10 via the network 40 using the communication unit 31. As a result, the control unit 13 of the information processing device 10 receives the collection information from the terminal device 30 via the network 40 and the communication unit 11.

[0062] In step S206, the control unit 13 of the information processing device 10 transmits the collection information received in step S205 to the vehicle 20 via the communication unit 11 and the network 40. As a result, the control unit 26 of the vehicle 20 receives, via the network 40 and the communication unit 21, the collection information from the user who has viewed the first image, which is for the vehicle 20 to temporarily collect the parcels that have been placed and distributed, from the information processing device 10.

[0063] In step S207, when the control unit 26 of the vehicle 20 receives the collection information from the user in step S206, it drives the vehicle 20 to return without leaving the parcels.

[0064] FIG. 5 is a sequence diagram for explaining a third example of the information processing method executed by the information processing system 1 in FIG. 1. While referring to FIG. 5, a third example of the information processing method executed by the information processing system 1 in FIG. 1 will be mainly described. The sequence diagram shown in FIG. 5 also includes the basic processing flow of the information processing method executed by the information processing system 1 after a predetermined time has elapsed since the vehicle 20 placed and distributed the luggage at the first position. In FIG. 5, the vehicle 20 includes a first vehicle 20a and a second vehicle 20b.

[0065] In step S300, the control unit 26 of the first vehicle 20a drives the first vehicle 20a so that the first vehicle 20a autonomously delivers the luggage and places the luggage at an arbitrary first position at the recipient's receiving address as the placement location.

[0066] In step S301, the control unit 26 of the first vehicle 20a captures a first image when the first vehicle 20a places the luggage at the first position using the imaging unit 24.

[0067] In step S302, the control unit 26 of the first vehicle 20a transmits the first image captured using the imaging unit 24 in step S301 to the user. More specifically, the control unit 26 first transmits the first image to the information processing device 10 via the network 40 using the communication unit 21. As a result, the control unit 13 of the information processing device 10 receives the first image from the first vehicle 20a via the network 40 and the communication unit 11.

[0068] In step S303, the control unit 13 of the information processing device 10 transmits the first image received in step S302 to the terminal device 30 via the communication unit 11 and the network 40. As a result, the control unit 35 of the terminal device 30 receives, from the information processing device 10, the first image when the first vehicle 20a places the luggage at the first position via the network 40 and the communication unit 31.

[0069] In step S304, when a predetermined time has elapsed since the first vehicle 20a placed and distributed the load at the first position in step S300, the control unit 26 of the first vehicle 20a drives the first vehicle 20a to move from the placement location toward the next destination.

[0070] In step S305, the control unit 35 of the terminal device 30 uses the output unit 34 to display the first image acquired in step S303, allowing the user to view the first image. The control unit 35 receives, using the input unit 33, correction information from the user who has viewed the first image and that is for driving the first vehicle 20a to correct the placement location from the first position to the second position. For example, the control unit 35 receives correction information when the user selects an operation on the position corresponding to the second position in the first image while using the input unit 33 of the terminal device 30.

[0071] In step S306, the control unit 35 of the terminal device 30 transmits the correction information received in step S305 to the first vehicle 20a. More specifically, the control unit 35 first transmits the correction information to the information processing device 10 via the network 40 using the communication unit 31. As a result, the control unit 13 of the information processing device 10 receives the correction information from the terminal device 30 via the network 40 and the communication unit 11.

[0072] In step S307, the control unit 13 of the information processing device 10 transmits the correction information received in step S306 to the first vehicle 20a via the communication unit 11 and the network 40. As a result, the control unit 26 of the first vehicle 20a receives, via the network 40 and the communication unit 21, correction information from the user who has viewed the first image and that is for correcting the placement location. For example, the control unit 26 receives correction information when the user selects an operation on the position corresponding to the second position in the first image while using the terminal device 30 via the network 40 and the communication unit 21 from the information processing device 10.

[0073] In step S308, when the control unit 26 of the first vehicle 20a receives the correction information after a predetermined time has elapsed since the first vehicle 20a placed and distributed the load at the first position in step S307, the control unit 26 transmits a first control command so that another second vehicle 20b located closest to the placement location corrects the placement location from the first position to the second position based on the correction information. More specifically, the control unit 26 first transmits the first control command to the information processing device 10 via the network 40 using the communication unit 21. As a result, the control unit 13 of the information processing device 10 receives the first control command from the first vehicle 20a via the network 40 and the communication unit 11.

[0074] In step S309, the control unit 13 of the information processing device 10 transmits the first control command received in step S308 to the second vehicle 20b via the communication unit 11 and the network 40. As a result, the control unit 26 of the second vehicle 20b receives the first control command from the information processing device 10 via the network 40 and the communication unit 21.

[0075] In step S310, the control unit 26 of the second vehicle 20b drives the second vehicle 20b to correct the placement location from the first position to the second position based on the first control command acquired in step S309. That is, the control unit 26 drives the second vehicle 20b to place and distribute the load at the second position designated by the user instead of the first vehicle 20a.

[0076] In step S311, the control unit 26 of the second vehicle 20b captures a second image when the second vehicle 20b places and distributes the load at the second position due to the correction of the placement location, using the imaging unit 24.

[0077] In step S312, the control unit 26 of the second vehicle 20b transmits the second image captured using the imaging unit 24 in step S311 to the user. More specifically, the control unit 26 first transmits the second image to the information processing device 10 via the network 40 using the communication unit 21. As a result, the control unit 13 of the information processing device 10 receives the second image from the second vehicle 20b via the network 40 and the communication unit 11.

[0078] In step S313, the control unit 13 of the information processing apparatus 10 transmits the second image received in step S312 to the terminal device 30 via the communication unit 11 and the network 40. As a result, the control unit 35 of the terminal device 30 receives, via the network 40 and the communication unit 31, a second image when the second vehicle 20b places a load at the second position by modifying the placement location.

[0079] In step S314, the control unit 35 of the terminal device 30 displays the second image acquired in step S313 using the output unit 34, and causes the user to confirm the second image. The control unit 35 receives, using the input unit 33, approval information from the user who has confirmed the second image and who approves that the placement location is the second position.

[0080] In step S315, the control unit 35 of the terminal device 30 transmits the approval information received in step S314 to the second vehicle 20b. More specifically, the control unit 35 first transmits the approval information to the information processing apparatus 10 via the network 40 using the communication unit 31. As a result, the control unit 13 of the information processing apparatus 10 receives the approval information from the terminal device 30 via the network 40 and the communication unit 11.

[0081] In step S316, the control unit 13 of the information processing apparatus 10 transmits the approval information received in step S315 to the second vehicle 20b via the communication unit 11 and the network 40. As a result, the control unit 26 of the second vehicle 20b receives, via the network 40 and the communication unit 21, approval information from the user who has confirmed the second image and who approves that the placement location is the second position.

[0082] In step S317, the control unit 26 of the second vehicle 20b drives the second vehicle 20b so that the second vehicle 20b moves from the placement location toward the next destination based on the approval information received in step S316.

[0083] FIG. 6 is a sequence diagram for explaining a fourth example of the information processing method executed by the information processing system 1 of FIG. 1. While referring to FIG. 6, a fourth example of the information processing method executed by the information processing system 1 of FIG. 1 will be mainly described. The sequence diagram shown in FIG. 6 also includes the processing flow of the information processing method executed by the information processing system 1 after a predetermined time has elapsed since the vehicle 20 placed and distributed the luggage at the first position. In FIG. 6, the vehicle 20 includes a first vehicle 20a and a second vehicle 20b.

[0084] In step S400, the control unit 26 of the first vehicle 20a drives the first vehicle 20a so that the first vehicle 20a autonomously delivers the luggage and places the luggage at an arbitrary first position at the recipient's receiving address as the placement location.

[0085] In step S401, the control unit 26 of the first vehicle 20a captures a first image when the first vehicle 20a places the luggage at the first position using the imaging unit 24.

[0086] In step S402, the control unit 26 of the first vehicle 20a transmits the first image captured using the imaging unit 24 in step S401 to the user. More specifically, the control unit 26 first transmits the first image to the information processing device 10 via the network 40 using the communication unit 21. As a result, the control unit 13 of the information processing device 10 receives the first image from the first vehicle 20a via the network 40 and the communication unit 11.

[0087] In step S403, the control unit 13 of the information processing device 10 transmits the first image received in step S402 to the terminal device 30 via the communication unit 11 and the network 40. As a result, the control unit 35 of the terminal device 30 receives the first image when the first vehicle 20a places the luggage at the first position from the information processing device 10 via the network 40 and the communication unit 31.

[0088] In step S404, when a predetermined time has elapsed since the first vehicle 20a placed and distributed the luggage at the first position in step S400, the control unit 26 of the first vehicle 20a drives the first vehicle 20a to move from the placement location toward the next destination.

[0089] In step S405, the control unit 35 of the terminal device 30 uses the output unit 34 to display the first image acquired in step S403, allowing the user to view the first image. The control unit 35 receives, from the user who has viewed the first image, collection information for the first vehicle 20a to temporarily collect the placed luggage. For example, when the user selects the "Collection" item displayed on the output unit 34 while using the input unit 33 of the terminal device 30, the control unit 35 receives the collection information.

[0090] In step S406, the control unit 35 of the terminal device 30 transmits the collection information received in step S405 to the first vehicle 20a. More specifically, the control unit 35 first transmits the collection information to the information processing device 10 via the network 40 using the communication unit 31. As a result, the control unit 13 of the information processing device 10 receives the collection information from the terminal device 30 via the network 40 and the communication unit 11.

[0091] In step S407, the control unit 13 of the information processing device 10 transmits the collection information received in step S406 to the first vehicle 20a via the communication unit 11 and the network 40. As a result, the control unit 26 of the first vehicle 20a receives, from the information processing device 10 via the network 40 and the communication unit 21, the collection information from the user who has viewed the first image and is for temporarily collecting the placed luggage.

[0092] In step S408, when the control unit 26 of the first vehicle 20a receives the collection information after a predetermined time has elapsed since the first vehicle 20a placed and distributed the luggage at the first position in step S407, it transmits a second control command so that another second vehicle 20b located closest to the placement location takes the luggage back without placing it. More specifically, the control unit 26 first transmits the second control command to the information processing device 10 via the network 40 using the communication unit 21. As a result, the control unit 13 of the information processing device 10 receives the second control command from the first vehicle 20a via the network 40 and the communication unit 11.

[0093] In step S409, the control unit 13 of the information processing device 10 transmits the second control command received in step S408 to the second vehicle 20b via the communication unit 11 and the network 40. As a result, the control unit 26 of the second vehicle 20b receives the second control command from the information processing device 10 via the network 40 and the communication unit 21.

[0094] In step S410, the control unit 26 of the second vehicle 20b drives the second vehicle 20b to take the luggage back without placing it based on the second control command acquired in step S409. That is, the control unit 26 drives the second vehicle 20b to take the luggage back without placing it instead of the first vehicle 20a.

[0095] FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram for explaining the processing content in the terminal device 30 of FIG. 1. With reference to FIG. 7, mainly an example of the processing content of step S104 in FIG. 3 will be described. FIG. 7 is a first image displayed on the output unit 34 of the user's terminal device 30, and schematically shows the first image when the placement location in front of the home entrance including the first position P1 and the second position P2 is imaged with the subject.

[0096] In an example of the processing content of step S104 in FIG. 3, the correction information includes information on a second position P2 specified by a selection operation of the user using the input unit 33 in a first image displayed on the output unit 34 of the user's terminal device 30. The first image displayed on the output unit 34 of the user's terminal device 30 is displayed by an application installed on the user's terminal device 30.

[0097] When the user corrects the placement location of the luggage from the first position P1 to the second position P2, the control unit 35 of the terminal device 30 displays a first image as shown in FIG. 7 to the user using the output unit 34. The control unit 35 receives, via the input unit 33, a selection operation of the user that designates the second position P2 on the first image displayed on the output unit 34. For example, the control unit 35 receives, via the input unit 33, a selection operation of the user who taps the second position P2 at the entrance of the home on the first image as shown in FIG. 7 displayed on the output unit 34. The control unit 35 generates the information on the second position P2 on the first image designated by the selection operation of the user as correction information.

[0098] According to the above-described embodiment, it is possible to suppress the situation where the luggage is placed at a location not desired by the user. For example, the vehicle 20 can accurately place the luggage at the placement location finally desired by the user for the delivery of the luggage by correcting the placement location to the second position designated by the user. For example, if the luggage is placed at a location other than the placement location at the second position designated by the user, the luggage may be damaged by contact with pedestrians and passing vehicles. In addition, there is also a possibility that the luggage itself may be stolen. According to one embodiment, these possibilities are reduced, and the luggage is delivered more safely in a manner desired by the user. Therefore, the reliability from the user for the luggage delivery service and the convenience of the user are improved.

[0099] When the control unit 26 of the vehicle 20 receives correction information before the elapse of a predetermined time, the information processing system 1 can correct the storage location by driving the vehicle 20 to correct the storage location based on the correction information, using the same vehicle 20. The information processing system 1 can perform fine correction of the storage location using only the vehicle 20 that is the same as the vehicle 20 that has delivered the luggage among the vehicles 20 included in the information processing system 1, without using other vehicles 20. Thereby, the information processing system 1 can efficiently execute the correction process of the storage location and can reduce the cost associated with the correction process.

[0100] When the control unit 26 of the vehicle 20 captures a second image when the vehicle 20 places and distributes luggage at the second position and transmits it to the user, the user can easily confirm whether the luggage has been accurately rearranged at the second position specified by the user. Thereby, the reliability from the user for the luggage delivery service and the convenience of the user are improved.

[0101] When the control unit 26 of the vehicle 20 receives correction information when a position corresponding to the second position is selected in the first image, the user can easily specify the second position while operating the application of the user's terminal device 30. The vehicle 20 can correct the storage location of the luggage to the second position specified by the user, and can place the luggage more accurately at the location desired by the user. As described above, the reliability from the user for the luggage delivery service and the convenience of the user are further improved.

[0102] When the control unit 26 of the vehicle 20 receives correction information after the elapse of a predetermined time, the information processing system 1 can correct the storage location by other vehicles 20 even after the vehicle 20 has left the storage location by transmitting a first control command to another vehicle 20 located closest to the storage location. Thereby, the reliability from the user for the luggage delivery service and the convenience of the user are further improved.

[0103] When the control unit 26 of the vehicle 20 receives the collection information before the elapse of a predetermined time, the information processing system 1 can collect the luggage by driving the vehicle 20 to take it back without leaving the luggage. The information processing system 1 can collect the luggage using only the same vehicle 20 as the vehicle 20 that delivered the luggage among the vehicles 20 included in the information processing system 1, without using other vehicles 20. Thereby, even when it is difficult for the user to receive the luggage placed due to reasons such as long-term absence, the information processing system 1 can collect the luggage safely and efficiently. Therefore, the information processing system 1 can reduce the cost associated with the collection process, and can further improve the reliability from the user for the luggage delivery service and the convenience of the user.

[0104] When the control unit 26 of the vehicle 20 receives the collection information after the elapse of a predetermined time, the information processing system 1 can collect the luggage by another vehicle 20 even after the vehicle 20 has left the placement location by sending a second control command to another vehicle 20 located closest to the placement location. Thereby, the reliability from the user for the luggage delivery service and the convenience of the user are further improved.

[0105] According to the above-described embodiment, it is possible to suppress the situation where the luggage is placed in a location not desired by the user. For example, the terminal device 30 can accurately place the luggage at the placement location finally desired by the user for the luggage delivery by receiving correction information for driving the vehicle 20 to correct the placement location from the first position to the second position. For example, if the luggage is placed in a location other than the placement location at the second position specified by the user, the luggage may be damaged by contact with pedestrians and passing vehicles. In addition, there is also a possibility that the luggage itself may be stolen. According to one embodiment, these possibilities are reduced, and the luggage is delivered more safely in a manner desired by the user. Therefore, the reliability from the user for the luggage delivery service and the convenience of the user are improved.

[0106] When the control unit 35 of the terminal device 30 receives the second image when the vehicle 20 places and distributes the luggage at the second position due to the modification of the placement location and displays it on the terminal device 30, the user can easily confirm whether the luggage has been accurately rearranged at the second position specified by the user. As a result, the reliability from the user for the luggage delivery service and the convenience of the user are improved.

[0107] When the control unit 35 of the terminal device 30 receives the approval information and transmits it to the vehicle 20, the user can convey to the vehicle 20 with the approval information reflecting the user's own intention that the vehicle 20 may complete the delivery of the luggage. The vehicle 20 can complete the delivery of the luggage according to the approval information that clearly reflects the user's intention.

[0108] When the control unit 35 of the terminal device 30 receives the correction information when a selection operation is performed on the position corresponding to the second position in the first image, the user can easily specify the second position while operating the application of the terminal device 30. The vehicle 20 can correct the placement location of the luggage to the second position specified by the user, and it becomes possible to place the luggage more accurately at the location desired by the user. As described above, the reliability from the user for the luggage delivery service and the convenience of the user are further improved.

[0109] When the control unit 35 of the terminal device 30 receives the collection information from the user and transmits it to the vehicle 20, the information processing system 1 can collect the luggage using the vehicle 20 based on the instruction from the user. As a result, the information processing system 1 can safely and efficiently collect the luggage even when it is difficult for the user to receive the luggage placed due to reasons such as long-term absence. Therefore, the information processing system 1 can further improve the reliability from the user for the luggage delivery service and the convenience of the user.

For example, functions included in each component or each step, etc., can be rearranged so as not to be logically contradictory, and a plurality of components or steps, etc., can be combined into one or divided.

[0111] For example, at least some of the processing operations executed in the vehicle 20 in the above-described embodiment may be executed in the information processing apparatus 10 or the terminal device 30. For example, instead of the vehicle 20, the information processing apparatus 10 itself may execute the above-described series of processing operations related to the vehicle 20. In this case, the information processing apparatus 10 executes each step in the above sequence diagrams while transmitting and receiving information necessary for the processing to and from the vehicle 20. At least some of the processing operations executed in the information processing apparatus 10 or the terminal device 30 may be executed in the vehicle 20.

[0112] For example, a configuration in which a general-purpose electronic device such as a smartphone or a computer functions as the vehicle 20 according to the above-described embodiment is also possible. Specifically, a program describing the processing content for realizing each function of the vehicle 20 according to the embodiment is stored in the memory of the electronic device, and the program is read out and executed by the processor of the electronic device. Therefore, the disclosure according to one embodiment can also be realized as a program executable by a processor.

[0113] Alternatively, the disclosure according to one embodiment can also be realized as a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program executable by one or more processors for causing each function to be executed in the vehicle 20 according to the embodiment. It should be understood that these are also included in the scope of the present disclosure.

[0114] For example, the information processing apparatus 10 described in the above-described embodiment may be mounted on the vehicle 20. At this time, the information processing apparatus 10 may directly perform information communication with the vehicle 20 without going through the network 40.

[0115] In the above embodiment, it has been described that the vehicle 20 indirectly transmits and receives information to and from the user's terminal device 30 via the information processing apparatus 10, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The vehicle 20 may directly transmit and receive information to and from the terminal device 30 without going through the information processing apparatus 10. That is, the information processing system 1 may be configured by the vehicle 20 and the terminal device 30 and may not include the information processing apparatus 10.

The control unit 35 of the terminal device 30 may directly transmit the approval information to the vehicle 20 using the communication unit 31.

[0121] In the above embodiment, it has been described that the first vehicle 20a indirectly transmits a control command to the second vehicle 20b via the information processing device 10, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The first vehicle 20a may directly transmit a control command to the second vehicle 20b without going through the information processing device 10.

[0122] For example, the control unit 26 of the first vehicle 20a may directly transmit the first control command to the second vehicle 20b using the communication unit 21. The control unit 26 of the second vehicle 20b may directly receive the first control command from the first vehicle 20a using the communication unit 21.

[0123] For example, the control unit 26 of the first vehicle 20a may directly transmit the second control command to the second vehicle 20b using the communication unit 21. The control unit 26 of the second vehicle 20b may directly receive the second control command from the first vehicle 20a using the communication unit 21.

[0124] In the above embodiment, it has been described that information is transmitted and received using the terminal device 30 of one user, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The information processing system 1 may include a first terminal device 30a of the recipient who receives the delivery of the package and a second terminal device 30b of the sender who sends the package.

[0125] For example, the control unit 26 of the vehicle 20 may directly or indirectly transmit the first image to both the first terminal device 30a and the second terminal device 30b using the communication unit 21. The control unit 35 of the first terminal device 30a may directly or indirectly receive the first image from the vehicle 20 using the communication unit 31. The control unit 35 of the second terminal device 30b may directly or indirectly receive the first image from the vehicle 20 using the communication unit 31.

The control unit 35 of the first terminal device 30a may transmit the correction information directly or indirectly to the vehicle 20 using the communication unit 31. The control unit 35 of the second terminal device 30b may transmit the correction information directly or indirectly to the vehicle 20 using the communication unit 31.

[0127] The vehicle 20 may correct the storage location based on either the correction information from the first terminal device 30a or the second terminal device 30b, or based on both. For example, the vehicle 20 may define priorities for the recipient and the sender, and correct the storage location based on the correction information from the user with the higher priority, or correct the storage location each time correction information is acquired.

[0128] For example, the control unit 26 of the vehicle 20 may receive collection information directly or indirectly from at least one of the first terminal device 30a and the second terminal device 30b using the communication unit 21. The control unit 35 of the first terminal device 30a may transmit the collection information directly or indirectly to the vehicle 20 using the communication unit 31. The control unit 35 of the second terminal device 30b may transmit the collection information directly or indirectly to the vehicle 20 using the communication unit 31.

[0129] The vehicle 20 may pick up the luggage based on either the collection information from the first terminal device 30a or the second terminal device 30b, or based on both. For example, the vehicle 20 may define priorities for the recipient and the sender, and pick up the luggage based on the collection information from the user with the higher priority, or pick up the luggage by acquiring the collection information from both.

[0130] For example, the control unit 26 of the vehicle 20 may directly or indirectly transmit the second image to both the first terminal device 30a and the second terminal device 30b using the communication unit 21.

The control unit 35 of the second terminal device 30b may directly or indirectly transmit the approval information to the vehicle 20 using the communication unit 31.

[0132] The vehicle 20 may complete the delivery of the package based on either the approval information from the first terminal device 30a or the second terminal device 30b, or based on both. For example, the vehicle 20 may define priorities for the recipient and the sender, and may complete the delivery of the package based on the approval information from the user with the higher priority, or may complete the delivery of the package by obtaining the approval information from both.

[0133] In the above embodiment, it has been described that the control unit 26 of the vehicle 20 captures the second image and transmits it to the user, but it is not limited to this. The control unit 26 may not execute such processing. That is, the control unit 26 may not capture the second image, or even if the second image is captured, it may not be transmitted to the user.

[0134] In the above embodiment, it has been described that when the control unit 26 of the vehicle 20 receives the approval information from the user, it completes the delivery of the package, but it is not limited to this.

That is, the information processing system 1 may not be configured such that the user can input the approval information in the terminal device 30.

[0135] In the above embodiment, it has been described that when the control unit 26 of the vehicle 20 receives the collection information from the user, the vehicle 20 is driven to carry the luggage back without placing it. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The control unit 26 does not necessarily have to execute such processing. That is, the information processing system 1 does not necessarily have to be configured such that the user can input the collection information in the terminal device 30.

[0136] In the above embodiment, it has been described that when the control unit 26 of the first vehicle 20a receives the correction information after a predetermined time has elapsed, the placement location is corrected by transmitting a first control command to the second vehicle 20b, which is another vehicle 20. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Even after a predetermined time has elapsed, the control unit 26 of the first vehicle 20a may drive the first vehicle 20a so that the first vehicle 20a returns to the placement location again and corrects the placement location from the first position to the second position based on the received correction information.

[0137] In the above embodiment, it has been described that when the control unit 26 of the first vehicle 20a receives the collection information after a predetermined time has elapsed, the second vehicle 20b, which is another vehicle 20, is caused to carry the luggage back without placing it by transmitting a second control command.

Even after a predetermined time has elapsed, the control unit 26 of the first vehicle 20a may drive the first vehicle 20a so that the first vehicle 20a returns to the placement location again and carries the luggage back from the placement location based on the received collection information.

[0138] In the above embodiment, it has been described that the control unit 35 of the terminal device 30 receives the second image and displays it on the terminal device 30. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The control unit 35 does not necessarily have to execute such processing. That is, even if the control unit 35 receives the second image, it may only store it in the storage unit 32 and not display it on the output unit 34 of the terminal device 30.
