Further, for example, when the level of automation of the vehicle 20 is equal to or lower than the level 3, the mobile body control device 100 provides route information to a monitoring device (not shown) for monitoring the vehicle 20 and controlling it. By doing so, the vehicle 20 may be controlled to move along the route determined by the monitoring device. Note that the above is an example, and the mobile control device 100 may control the vehicle 20 in any way as long as the user can be transported from the departure place to the destination by the determined route.

  First, the map information MP11 shown in FIG. 1 will be briefly described. The map information MP11 shown in FIG. 1 is a diagram schematically showing the vehicle 20, a point of interest (POI), a route, and the like. In the example of FIG. 1, in response to a vehicle allocation request (request) from the terminal device 10 used by a user identified by the user ID “U1” (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as “user U1”), the mobile control device A case where 100 determines a route and proposes a route to the terminal device 10 is shown. In the example of FIG. 1, the user U1 makes a request for dispatch, but does not designate a specific destination (destination) or the like.

  First, the mobile control device 100 acquires a request for an incoming vehicle by the vehicle 20 from the terminal device 10 used by the user U1 (step S11). For example, the mobile control device 100 acquires a request (request) to dispatch the vehicle 20 from the terminal device 10 used by the user U1 located at home (position LC11). In the example of FIG. 1, the mobile control device 100 acquires a request RQ11 that does not include a specific destination (destination) designation from the user U1. For example, the user U1 transmits a request to the mobile control device 100 by making a predetermined input to an application related to the transportation service of the transportation company installed in the terminal device 10 (hereinafter also referred to as “transportation service application”). To do.

  In the example of FIG. 1, it is assumed that the mobile control device 100 acquires a request RQ11 specifying the position LC11 of the home of the user U1 as the departure place from the user U1. In addition, the mobile body control apparatus 100 may acquire not only the input in a transport service application but various information of the user U1 from the terminal device 10, and may perform a route determination, a proposal, etc. based on the information. For example, the mobile control device 100 may acquire various types of information such as user utterances and schedules from the terminal device 10, and may determine a route, make a proposal, and the like based on the information. .

  The mobile control device 100 that has acquired the request from the user U1 acquires information on the hobby / intention of the user U1 (hereinafter also referred to as “hobby / intention information”) (step S12). In the example of FIG. 1, the mobile control device 100 acquires the hobby preference information of the user U1 from the user information storage unit 124.

  “User ID” shown in the user information storage unit 124 in FIG. 1 indicates identification information for identifying a user. For example, the user identified by the user ID “U1” corresponds to the user U1 shown in FIG. Further, “age” shown in the user information storage unit 124 in FIG. 1 indicates the age of the user identified by the user ID. “Gender” shown in the user information storage unit 124 in FIG. 1 indicates the gender of the user identified by the user ID.

  “Home” shown in the user information storage unit 124 in FIG. 1 indicates location information of the user's home identified by the user ID. Hereinafter, the position information may be described as “position LC11” or the like. “Work location” shown in the user information storage unit 124 in FIG. 1 indicates the location information of the user's work location identified by the user ID. The “interest” shown in the user information storage unit 124 in FIG. 1 indicates the interest of the user identified by the user ID. That is, “interest” indicates an object that is highly interested by the user identified by the user ID, that is, the user's hobbies and preferences. In the example illustrated in FIG. 1, for the sake of simplicity, one “interest” is illustrated for each user, but may be plural.

  For example, in the example of FIG. 1, the age of the user U <b> 1 is “20s”, and the gender is “male”. For example, the user U1 indicates that the home is “LC11”. Further, for example, the user U1 indicates that the work location is “LC12”. Further, for example, the user U1 indicates that he / she is interested in “movie”.

  And the mobile body control apparatus 100 determines the destination (step S13). For example, the mobile control device 100 determines a destination to be proposed to the user U1 based on the user's U1 hobbies and preferences. In the example of FIG. 1, the mobile control device 100 determines a destination from the POI stored in the POI information storage unit 122.

  “POI_ID” shown in the POI information storage unit 122 in FIG. 1 indicates information for identifying various POIs. “POI” shown in the POI information storage unit 122 in FIG. 1 indicates a specific name or the like of the POI. Further, “position information” shown in the POI information storage unit 122 in FIG. 1 indicates the position of the corresponding POI. “Average expenditure (yen)” shown in the POI information storage unit 122 in FIG. 1 indicates the average amount of money spent by the user in the corresponding POI.

  For example, in the example illustrated in FIG. 1, the POI identified by the POI_ID “FC1” is “A movie theater” and indicates that the POI is located at the position LC101. The A movie theater indicates that the average expenditure of the user is 2000 yen. For example, in the example illustrated in FIG. 1, the POI identified by the POI_ID “FC2” is “B movie theater” and indicates that the POI is located at the position LC102. The movie theater B indicates that the average user expenditure is 2500 yen.

  For example, in the example illustrated in FIG. 1, the POI identified by the POI_ID “FC25” is “P hot spring”, which indicates that the POI is located at the position LC502. Moreover, P hot spring shows that an average expenditure of a user is 10,000 yen. For example, in the example illustrated in FIG. 1, the POI identified by the POI_ID “FC55” is “Z Mall” and is located at the position LC902. The Z mall indicates that the average user spending is 5000 yen.

  The mobile control device 100 determines a destination from various POIs stored in the POI information storage unit 122. Here, in the example of FIG. 1, since the interest indicating the hobby preference of the user U1 is “movie”, the mobile control device 100 determines the destination as a movie theater. Specifically, the mobile control device 100 determines the POI “A movie theater” identified by the POI_ID “FC1” and the POI “B movie theater” identified by the POI_ID “FC2” as destinations. In the example of FIG. 1, the case where the POI corresponding to the user's interest is determined as the destination is shown for the sake of simplicity. However, the mobile control device 100 uses various information as appropriate to determine the destination. decide. For example, the mobile control device 100 determines a destination from a POI within a predetermined range from the departure point. For example, the mobile control device 100 determines a destination from a POI that takes a required time within 30 minutes or within one hour from the departure point. In the example of FIG. 1, for example, the mobile control device 100 determines the destination from the POI that takes a required time from the position LC11 as the departure point within one hour.

  Then, the mobile control device 100 determines a route (hereinafter referred to as “candidate route”) as a route candidate for carrying the user (step S14). For example, the mobile control device 100 determines a plurality of candidate routes. In the example of FIG. 1, the mobile control device 100 determines a candidate route for each of the A movie theater and the B movie theater determined as the destination.

  The mobile control device 100 determines a route for moving from the home (position LC11) of the user U1 to the A movie theater (position LC101) based on road information and the like stored in the map information storage unit 121 (see FIG. 3). To do. For example, the mobile control device 100 determines a route for moving from the home (position LC11) of the user U1 to the B movie theater (position LC102) based on road information and the like stored in the map information storage unit 121.

  In the example of FIG. 1, the mobile control device 100 determines three routes RT11 to RT13 as candidate routes as shown in the route information storage unit 123. For example, the mobile control device 100 determines a plurality of routes according to the departure place and the destination. For example, the mobile control device 100 may determine a route that passes through each of the waypoints located between the departure point and the destination as the candidate route. For example, the mobile control device 100 uses the route point information stored in the storage unit 120 (see FIG. 3) as candidates for routes via each of the route points located between the departure point and the destination point. The route may be determined.

  For example, the mobile control device 100 may determine, as candidate routes, routes that pass through each POI located between the departure point and the destination among the POIs stored in the POI information storage unit 122. Note that the above is an example, and the mobile control device 100 may determine candidate routes using various conventional techniques. For example, the mobile control device 100 may determine candidate routes using route search logic in various navigation systems such as car navigation. For example, the mobile control device 100 may determine a candidate route corresponding to each combination by performing a search using a predetermined route search logic for each combination of the departure point and destination and each waypoint. Good.

  The “request ID” shown in the route information storage unit 123 in FIG. 1 indicates identification information for identifying a request (request) for using a transportation service by a vehicle that moves by automatic driving. The “route ID” shown in the route information storage unit 123 in FIG. 1 indicates identification information for identifying a route that is a candidate to be proposed for the corresponding request. “Departure location” shown in the route information storage unit 123 in FIG. 1 indicates the departure location of the route identified by the route ID. “Destination” shown in the route information storage unit 123 in FIG. 1 indicates the destination of the route identified by the route ID. The “route point” shown in the route information storage unit 123 in FIG. 1 indicates a route point identified by the route ID. The “transportation fee (yen)” shown in the route information storage unit 123 in FIG. 1 indicates a transportation fee paid by the user when receiving a transportation service by the route identified by the route ID. The “required time” shown in the route information storage unit 123 in FIG. 1 indicates the required time when the transportation service by the route identified by the route ID is received.

  In the example of FIG. 1, the request identified by the request ID “RQ11” (request RQ11) is identified by the route identified by the route ID “RT11” (route RT11) and the route ID “RT12”. This indicates that the route (route RT12), the route identified by the route ID “RT13” (route RT13), and the like are proposed candidates.

  The route RT11 indicates that the departure place is the position LC11 where the user U1 is home and the destination is the position LC101 of the A movie theater. A route RT11 indicates that the waypoint is the position LC111. The route RT11 indicates that the transportation fee paid by the user when receiving the transportation service is 1000 yen. The route RT11 indicates that the required time for receiving the transportation service is 30 minutes.

  A route RT12 indicates that the departure point is the position LC11 where the user U1 is home and the destination is the position LC101 of the A movie theater. The route RT12 indicates that the waypoint is the position LC121. The route RT12 indicates that the transportation fee paid by the user when receiving the transportation service is 1000 yen. The route RT12 indicates that the time required for receiving the transportation service is 45 minutes.

  The route RT13 indicates that the departure place is the position LC11 where the user U1 is home and the destination is the position LC102 of the B movie theater. The route RT13 indicates that the waypoint is the position LC112. The route RT13 indicates that the transportation fee paid by the user when receiving the transportation service is 2000 yen. The route RT13 indicates that the time required for receiving the transportation service is 1 hour.

  The mobile control device 100 may acquire candidate route information from a route information providing device (not shown) that is an external device that provides a route search service or the like. In this case, the mobile control device 100 may acquire information on the candidate route from the route information providing device by providing the route information providing device with information such as a departure point, a destination, and a waypoint. For example, the mobile control device 100 provides route information providing information indicating the home (position LC11) of the user U1 as the departure place and the A movie theater (position LC101) and B movie theater (position LC102) as the destination. Information on candidate routes may be acquired. For example, the mobile control device 100 may acquire information on the three routes RT11 to RT13 as shown in the route information storage unit 123 from the route information providing device. In addition, the mobile control device 100 may store the information on the routes RT11 to RT13 acquired from the route information providing device in the route information storage unit 123 in association with the request RQ11. In this case, the mobile body control system 1 may include a route information providing device.

  And the mobile body control apparatus 100 calculates the score of each candidate route (step S15). In the example of FIG. 1, the mobile control device 100 calculates the scores of the routes RT11 to RT13 that are candidate routes.

  For example, the mobile control device 100 calculates the score of each candidate route so that the route becomes closer to the user's hobby preference. For example, when the user is a user who places importance on effective use of time, the mobile control device 100 calculates the score of the route so that the route has a higher score as the route takes a shorter time.

  For example, when the destination type is different, the mobile control device 100 may calculate the route score so that the route score becomes higher as the route destination type is closer to the user's hobbies and preferences. . For example, the mobile control device 100 provides information to a user who is interested in a movie when there is a route (A route) having a destination A movie theater or a route (B route) having a destination Z mall. May calculate a high score for the A route. In addition, for example, the mobile control device 100 provides information to users who are interested in shopping when there is a route (A route) having the destination A movie theater or a route (B route) having the destination Z mall. If so, the B route score may be calculated high. For example, the mobile control device 100 may calculate the route score so that the route score for a movie theater where a movie of a content that a man in his twenties is likely to enjoy is being shown is high. .

  For example, the mobile control device 100 calculates the score of each candidate route based on the amount requested from the user. For example, the mobile control device 100 may calculate the route score so that the route score with a low transportation charge is high. In the example of FIG. 1, the mobile control device 100 may calculate the scores of the routes RT11 and RT12 whose transportation fee is 1000 yen higher than the scores of the route RT13 whose transportation fee is 2000 yen.

  For example, the mobile control device 100 calculates the score of each of a plurality of candidate routes based on information related to the comprehensive fee. For example, the mobile control device 100 calculates the score of each of a plurality of candidate routes based on a charge (hereinafter also referred to as “total amount”) that is the sum of the transportation charge and the average POI expenditure as the destination. May be. The total amount is not limited to the transportation fee and the average POI spending at the destination, but includes any fee as long as the user pays when receiving the transportation service on that route. Good.

  For example, the total amount may include various fees paid by the user, such as an average expense at a waypoint or a fee paid when viewing content in the vehicle 20. For example, the total amount may be a cost (total cost) required for a whole series of actions including receiving a transportation service, moving to a destination, and performing a desired action at the destination. In the example of FIG. 1, in order to simplify the description, a case where the total amount is the sum of the transportation fee and the average expenditure of POI as the destination is shown.

  In the example of FIG. 1, the mobile control device 100 calculates the scores of routes RT11 and RT12 whose total amount is 3000 (1000 + 2000) yen higher than the route RT13 whose total amount is 4500 (2000 + 2500) yen. May be.

  In the example of FIG. 1, as shown in the score list SL11, the mobile control device 100 sets the score of the route RT11 to “SC11”, the score of the route RT12 to “SC12 (<SC11)”, and the score of the route RT13 to “SC13”. (<SC12) ". As described above, in the example of FIG. 1, the score of the route RT11 is the highest, the score of the route RT12 having a longer required time than the route RT11 is next higher than the route RT11, and the total amount is higher than the routes RT11 and RT12. The case where the score of root RT13 is the lowest is shown. The score in FIG. 1 is an example, and the moving body control device 100 may calculate any score as long as the score can determine the superiority or inferiority (ranking) of each candidate route.

  For example, the mobile control device 100 may calculate a partial score for each item such as a destination, a required time, and a total amount, and may calculate a value obtained by adding the calculated partial scores as a route score. For example, the mobile body control device 100 may set the partial score of the destination to “10” for the candidate route of the destination closest to the user's hobby preference among the destinations of each candidate route. Further, for example, the mobile body control device 100 may set the destination partial score to “5” for the candidate route of the second destination closest to the user's hobbies and preferences among the destinations of each candidate route. In the example of FIG. 1, since the routes RT11 to RT13 all match the interest “movie” of the user U1, the partial score of the destination may be “10”.

  For example, the mobile control device 100 may set the partial score of the required time to “10” for the candidate route having the shortest required time among the candidate routes. Further, for example, the mobile control device 100 may set the partial score of the required time to “5” for the candidate route having the second shortest required time among the candidate routes. In the example of FIG. 1, since the route RT11 has the shortest required time, the partial score of the required time of the route RT11 may be set to “10”. Also, since the route RT12 has the second shortest required time, the partial score of the required time for the route RT12 may be set to “5”.

  Further, for example, the mobile control device 100 may set the partial score of the total amount to “10” for the candidate route with the lowest total amount among the candidate routes. Further, for example, the mobile body control device 100 may set the partial score of the total amount to “5” for the candidate route having the second lowest total amount among the candidate routes. In the example of FIG. 1, the route RT11 and RT12 have the lowest total amount, so the partial score of the total amount of the routes RT11 and RT12 may be “10”. Further, since the route RT13 has the second lowest total amount, the partial score of the total amount of the route RT13 may be “5”.

  For example, the mobile control apparatus 100 may calculate the score of the route RT11 as “30 (= 10 + 10 + 10)” using the partial score as described above. For example, the mobile control device 100 may calculate the score of the route RT12 as “25 (= 10 + 5 + 10)” using the partial score as described above. For example, the mobile control device 100 may calculate the score of the route RT13 as “15 (= 10 + 0 + 5)” using the partial score as described above. As described above, the mobile control device 100 calculates the highest score “30” for the route RT11, calculates the second highest score “25” for the route RT12, and sets the lowest one “15” for the route RT13. May be calculated. Note that the above is an example, and the moving body control device 100 may calculate any score as long as the score can determine the superiority or inferiority (ranking) of each candidate route. For example, the mobile control device 100 may calculate the score by increasing the weight of a predetermined item among the items. For example, the mobile control device 100 may calculate the score by increasing the weight of the total amount among the items. For example, the mobile control device 100 may calculate the score by setting the partial score of the route with the lowest total amount as “20”.

  Then, the mobile control device 100 determines a route (suggested route) to be proposed to the requesting user (step S16). In the example of FIG. 1, the mobile control device 100 determines the route RT11 having the highest score among the routes RT11 to RT13, which are candidate routes in the score list SL11, as the proposed route to the user U1.

  Then, the mobile control device 100 provides the proposed route to the user who is the request source (step S17). In the example of FIG. 1, the mobile control device 100 provides information on the route RT11 to the terminal device 10 of the user U1.

  Then, the terminal device 10 to which the information on the route RT11 is provided from the mobile control device 100 displays the information on the route RT11 as shown on the page PG11. The user U1 confirming the information on the route RT11 displayed on the terminal device 10 determines whether or not to receive the transportation service on the route RT11.

  As shown on page PG11 in FIG. 1, the mobile control apparatus 100 has information indicating that the destination is the A movie theater located at the position LC101 and the required time is 30 minutes as information on the route RT11. Is provided to the terminal device 10 of the user U1. In addition, the mobile control device 100 provides the terminal device 10 of the user U1 with information indicating that the waypoint is the position LC111 and information indicating that the transportation fee is 1000 yen. As a result, the user U1 can accurately determine whether or not he / she wants to use the proposed transportation service on the route RT11. Note that the page PG11 is not limited to the above, and may include, for example, an average expenditure at the destination, a specific travel route (road information) to the destination, and the like.

  For example, when the user U1 determines to receive the transportation service on the route RT11, the user U1 touches the “OK” button in the page PG11. Thereby, the terminal device 10 transmits information indicating that the user U1 has specified the route RT11 to the mobile control device 100. Note that the terminal device 10 may accept not only the touch of the user U1 but also information indicating that the user U1 has specified the route RT11 by voice input such as “This route likes” or “Now”. .

  For example, when it is determined that the user U1 does not receive the transportation service on the route RT11, the user U1 touches the “next proposal” button in the page PG11. Thereby, the terminal device 10 transmits information indicating that the user U1 has not designated the route RT11 to the mobile control device 100. Note that the terminal device 10 may accept not only the touch of the user U1 but also information indicating that the user U1 has not designated the route RT11 by voice input such as “Imaichi” or “Another route is good”. Good.

  Thus, when the user U1 does not specify the route RT11 that is the proposed route, the mobile control device 100 provides another route to the terminal device 10 of the user U1 as the proposed route. For example, when the user U1 does not designate the route RT11, the mobile control device 100 provides the route RT12 having the next highest score to the terminal device 10 of the user U1 as the proposed route.

  Further, when the user U1 does not specify the route RT12 that is the proposed route, the mobile control device 100 provides another route to the terminal device 10 of the user U1 as the proposed route. For example, when the user U1 does not specify the route RT12, the mobile control device 100 provides the route RT13 having the next highest score to the terminal device 10 of the user U1 as the proposed route. And when the information which shows that the user U1 specified root | route RT13 is acquired, the mobile body control apparatus 100 provides the transportation service based on root | route RT13 to the user U1.

  In the example of FIG. 1, since the user U1 touches the “OK” button in the page PG11 with the finger F1, the terminal device 10 transmits information indicating that the user U1 has specified the route RT11 to the mobile control device 100. . Thereby, the mobile control device 100 acquires information indicating that the user U1 has specified the route RT11 from the terminal device 10 (step S18).

  Then, the moving body control device 100 determines a route designated by the user (designated route) as a route for carrying the user, and controls the moving body so as to move the determined route (step S19). In the example of FIG. 1, the mobile control device 100 controls the vehicle 20-1 so as to move to the home of the user U <b> 1 (position LC <b> 11) and move the route RT <b> 11 with the user U <b> 1 on it. For example, the mobile control device 100 provides (transmits) the vehicle 20-1 information on the route that travels from the current position of the vehicle 20-1 to the home of the user U1 (position LC11) and information on the route RT11. The vehicle 20-1 is controlled so that the user U1 is carried and the route RT11 is moved.

  As described above, the mobile control device 100 determines a route to be proposed to the user based on information such as the user's hobbies and preferences, and when the user designates the proposed route, the mobile device To control. As described above, the mobile body control device 100 can make the mobile body that operates by automatic driving moveable by an appropriate route by determining the destination and the route in consideration of the user's hobbies and preferences. Moreover, the mobile body control apparatus 100 can make the mobile body which operate | moves by an automatic driving | operation movable by an appropriate route by determining the destination and route which considered the total amount of money.

(1-1. Difference from the conventional one by automatic operation)
As described above, the mobile control device 100 that provides a transport service using a mobile body that automatically travels on a road is based on a value different from a service by a manned taxi or the like on which a driver rides. Can be provided. For example, when the vehicle 20 that has been automated such as level 4 or level 5 is a target, the driver does not get on the vehicle 20, so the mobile body control device 100 may cause fatigue of the driver due to long-distance movement or the like. It is possible to propose a route suitable for the user or to determine a route for carrying the user without considering the above.

  Therefore, the mobile control device 100 can determine a route that places importance on a destination or route that the user is likely to like, such as a user's hobbies and preferences, instead of determining a route based on the distance, as the transport route of the user. It becomes. In addition, the mobile control device 100 can determine, as a user's transportation route, a route that places importance on the total amount such as a transportation fee and expenditure at a destination, instead of determining a route based on distance. As described above, since the mobile control device 100 is a transportation service using a mobile body that automatically travels, the mobile body control device 100 proposes a route to the user or determines a route to transport the user based on the value important to the user. You can do it.

  In other words, the mobile body control device 100 does not need to use the criterion of difficulty of driving. Therefore, if the route has a high value for the user, the route having a long distance has priority over the route having a short distance. It will be decided on the proposed route and the operation route. For example, when the mobile body control device 100 can arrive at the destination without stress or passes through a route having a good scenery, even if the route has a long distance, the score becomes lower than the route having a short distance, Regardless of the length, there are cases where priority is given to the proposed route or operation route.

  Further, in the transportation service provided by the mobile control device 100, since the driver does not get on the vehicle 20, the user who uses the vehicle 20 can use the inside of the vehicle 20 as a personal space. Therefore, the moving body control device 100 can stay in the vehicle 20 during the route movement without the user being concerned about other people. Therefore, the mobile control device 100 may provide various services to a user who is relaxed in the vehicle 20. For example, the mobile control device 100 may provide a user who is in the vehicle 20 to view content that the user is likely to like or provide information about the destination.

(1-2. Transportation service)
In the example of FIG. 1, the case where the user U1 makes a request for dispatch without specifying a specific destination (destination) or the like is shown, but the user U1 specifies a specific destination (destination). If so, the mobile control device 100 transports the user U1 to the designated destination by the vehicle 20. In this case, for example, the moving body control device 100 may carry the user U1 to the designated destination by the vehicle 20 that is close to the user U1 and is not being boarded by another user. In the example of FIG. 1, the mobile control device 100 may be transported to the designated destination by the vehicle 20-1 that is close to the user U <b> 1 and other users are not on the vehicle.

(1-3. Determination of route)
In the example of FIG. 1, the case where the mobile control device 100 determines the destination from the information related to the user's hobbies and preferences stored in the user information storage unit 124 is shown. You may determine a destination and a route using information. For example, the mobile control device 100 may determine a destination or a route according to a search query input by the user. For example, the mobile control device 100 may estimate the user's intention or hobby preference from a search query input by the user, and may determine the destination or route based on the estimated intention or hobby preference.

(1-3-1. Determination based on utterance)
For example, the mobile control device 100 may determine the destination from the user's utterance. For example, the mobile control device 100 may acquire information (utterance information) related to the user's utterance detected by the terminal device 10, and may determine a destination or route to be proposed to the user from the utterance information. For example, the mobile control device 100 acquires information (utterance information) related to the user's utterance detected by the terminal device 10 in which the transport service application is installed, and determines a destination and a route to be proposed to the user from the utterance information. Also good.

  For example, when the mobile control apparatus 100 acquires utterance information indicating that the user is interested in a predetermined POI (X facility), such as “Looking at X facility,” the mobile body control device 100 proposes the X facility to the user. It may be determined as the ground. For example, when the mobile control device 100 acquires utterance information indicating that the user is interested in a predetermined POI (X facility), such as “Looking at X facility”, the route with the X facility as the destination May be determined as a route proposed to the user.

(1-3-2. Determination based on schedule)
For example, the mobile control device 100 may determine the destination from schedule information such as a user's schedule. For example, the mobile control device 100 may acquire the user's schedule information from the terminal device 10 used by the user, and may determine a destination or route proposed to the user from the schedule information. For example, the mobile control device 100 may acquire the user's schedule information from a schedule management application or the like installed in the terminal device 10, and may determine a destination or route to be proposed to the user from the schedule information.

  For example, when the mobile control device 100 acquires schedule information indicating that a user plans to purchase a product such as “purchase” at a predetermined date and time (X month Y day), the mobile body control device 100 is super Or a facility such as a shopping mall may be determined as a destination to be proposed to the user. For example, when the mobile control device 100 acquires schedule information indicating that a user plans to purchase a product such as “purchase” at a predetermined date and time (X month Y day), the mobile control device 100 such as a supermarket or a shopping mall A route having the facility as the destination may be determined as a route to be proposed to the user, and may be proposed to the user on the X month and the Y day.

(1-4. Acquisition of information)
In addition, the mobile body control apparatus 100 may acquire the information regarding a user's utterance and a user's schedule not only with the terminal device 10 which a user utilizes but with various means. For example, the mobile control device 100 may acquire a user's utterance detected by a voice assist device such as a smart speaker disposed at the user's home or the like.

  In the example of FIG. 1, the mobile control device 100 may acquire an utterance of the user U1 or the family of the user U1 that is placed in the home of the user U1 and detected by the smart speaker. For example, the mobile control device 100 may determine a route or destination to be proposed to the user U1 based on the content of the conversation between the user U1 and the family that is placed in the user U1's home and detected by the smart speaker. Good. For example, the mobile body control device 100 acquires information indicating that the user (family) of the user U1 has made an utterance such as “I want to swim” or “I want to go to the pool” from the terminal device 10 or the smart speaker of the user U1. In this case, a route with the destination “pool” or “sea” may be proposed to the user U1.

(1-5. Determination based on charges only)
Note that the mobile control device 100 may determine a route based only on the amount paid by the user. For example, the mobile control device 100 may determine a route based only on the total amount. For example, the mobile control device 100 may determine the route with the lowest total amount as the route proposed to the user. For example, the mobile control device 100 calculates the transportation cost between the position of the user and the position of each POI, calculates the total amount by adding the average expenditure of each POI, and the route with the low total amount is high You may determine the ranking used as a ranking. Then, the mobile control device 100 may determine the route with the highest ranking as the route proposed to the user.

  For example, the mobile control device 100 calculates the transportation cost between the position of the user and the position of each POI, calculates the total amount by adding the average expenditure of each POI, and calculates the route with the lowest total amount. Alternatively, the destination may be determined as a destination proposed to the user. For example, the mobile control device 100 may determine the POI corresponding to the route having the lowest total amount as the destination among the POIs. For example, the mobile control device 100 may determine the POI corresponding to the route with the lowest total amount as the destination among the POI groups extracted based on information such as the user's utterance.

For example, the acquisition unit 131 may acquire information on the three routes RT11 to RT13 as shown in the route information storage unit 123 from an external device. The acquisition unit 131 may store the information on the routes RT11 to RT13 acquired from the external device in the route information storage unit 123 in association with the request RQ11.

(Calculation unit 132)
The calculation unit 132 calculates various information. For example, the calculation unit 132 calculates various types of information based on the various types of information acquired from the external device by the acquisition unit 131. For example, the calculation unit 132 calculates various types of information based on the various types of information acquired from the terminal device 10. For example, the calculation unit 132 calculates various information based on various information acquired from the vehicle 20. For example, the calculation unit 132 calculates various information based on the information stored in the storage unit 120. For example, the calculation unit 132 is based on information stored in the map information storage unit 121, the POI information storage unit 122, the route information storage unit 123, the user information storage unit 124, the mobile body information storage unit 125, or the like.

In addition, the calculation unit 132 calculates the score of each of the plurality of candidate routes based on the required time in each of the plurality of candidate routes. In addition, the calculation unit 132 calculates the score of each of the plurality of candidate routes based on the amount requested from the user in each of the plurality of candidate routes. In addition, the calculation unit 132 calculates the score of each of the plurality of candidate routes based on the amount that varies depending on the waypoints in each of the plurality of candidate routes.

  The calculation unit 132 calculates the score of each of a plurality of candidate routes based on information on the comprehensive fee. The calculation unit 132 calculates the score of each of the plurality of candidate routes based on the information about the comprehensive fee including the amount requested from the user in each of the plurality of candidate routes. The calculation unit 132 calculates the score of each of the plurality of candidate routes based on the information about the comprehensive fee including the amount that varies depending on the waypoints in each of the plurality of candidate routes.

  The calculation unit 132 calculates the score of each candidate route. In the example of FIG. 1, the calculation unit 132 calculates the scores of the routes RT11 to RT13 that are candidate routes.

  For example, the calculation unit 132 calculates the score of each candidate route so that the route becomes closer to the user's hobby preference. For example, when the user is a user who places emphasis on effective use of time, the calculation unit 132 calculates the score of the route so that the route has a higher score as the route takes shorter time.

  For example, when the destination type is different, the calculation unit 132 may calculate the route score so that the route score is higher as the route destination type is closer to the user's hobby. For example, the calculation unit 132 may provide information to a user who is interested in a movie when there is a route (A route) having a destination of A movie theater or a route (B route) having a destination of Z mall. You may calculate the score of A route highly. In addition, for example, the calculation unit 132 provides information to a user who is interested in shopping when there is a route (A route) whose destination is A movie theater or a route (B route) whose destination is Z mall. May calculate the B route score high. For example, the calculating unit 132 may calculate the score of the route so that the score of the route having a movie theater in which a movie of a content that a man in his twenties seems to like is being shown is high.

  For example, the calculation unit 132 calculates the score of each candidate route based on the amount requested from the user. For example, the calculation unit 132 may calculate a route score so that a route score with a low transportation charge is high. In the example of FIG. 1, the calculation unit 132 may calculate the scores of the routes RT11 and RT12 whose transportation fee is 1000 yen higher than the scores of the route RT13 whose transportation fee is 2000 yen.

  For example, the calculation unit 132 calculates the score of each of a plurality of candidate routes based on information on the comprehensive fee. For example, the calculation unit 132 may calculate the score of each of a plurality of candidate routes based on the total amount. In the example of FIG. 1, the calculating unit 132 calculates the scores of the routes RT11 and RT12 whose total amount is 3000 (1000 + 2000) yen higher than the route RT13 whose total amount is 4500 (2000 + 2500) yen. Good.

  In the example of FIG. 1, as shown in the score list SL11, the calculation unit 132 sets the score of the route RT11 to “SC11”, the score of the route RT12 to “SC12 (<SC11)”, and the score of the route RT13 to “SC13 (< SC12) ". For example, the calculation unit 132 may calculate a partial score for each item such as a destination, a required time, and a total amount, and may calculate a value obtained by adding the calculated partial scores as a route score. For example, the calculation unit 132 may set the partial score of the destination to “10” for the candidate route of the destination closest to the user's hobby taste among the destinations of each candidate route. Further, for example, the calculation unit 132 may set the partial score of the destination to “5” for the candidate route of the destination that is second closest to the user's hobby preference among the destinations of each candidate route. In the example of FIG. 1, since the routes RT11 to RT13 all match the interest “movie” of the user U1, the partial score of the destination may be “10”.

  For example, the calculation unit 132 may set the partial score of the required time to “10” for the candidate route having the shortest required time among the candidate routes. For example, the calculation unit 132 may set the partial score of the required time to “5” for the candidate route having the second shortest required time among the candidate routes. In the example of FIG. 1, since the route RT11 has the shortest required time, the partial score of the required time of the route RT11 may be set to “10”. Also, since the route RT12 has the second shortest required time, the partial score of the required time for the route RT12 may be set to “5”.

  For example, the calculation unit 132 may set the partial score of the total amount to “10” for the candidate route with the lowest total amount among the candidate routes. For example, the calculation unit 132 may set the partial score of the total amount to “5” for the candidate route having the second lowest total amount among the candidate routes. In the example of FIG. 1, the route RT11 and RT12 have the lowest total amount, so the partial score of the total amount of the routes RT11 and RT12 may be “10”. Further, since the route RT13 has the second lowest total amount, the partial score of the total amount of the route RT13 may be “5”.

  For example, the calculation unit 132 may calculate the score of the route RT11 as “30 (= 10 + 10 + 10)” using the partial score as described above. For example, the calculation unit 132 may calculate the score of the route RT12 as “25 (= 10 + 5 + 10)” using the partial score as described above. For example, the calculation unit 132 may calculate the score of the route RT13 as “15 (= 10 + 0 + 5)” using the partial score as described above. In this way, the calculation unit 132 calculates the score of the route RT11 as the highest “30”, calculates the score of the route RT12 as the second highest “25”, and sets the score of the route RT13 as the lowest “15”. It may be calculated. Note that the above is an example, and the calculation unit 132 may calculate any score as long as it can determine the superiority or inferiority (ranking) of each candidate route. For example, the calculation unit 132 may calculate the score by increasing the weight of a predetermined item among the items. For example, the calculation unit 132 may calculate the score by increasing the weight of the total amount among the items. For example, the calculation unit 132 may calculate the score by setting the partial score of the route with the lowest total amount as “20”.

This point will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example of the moving object control process according to the embodiment. In FIG. 11, the description of the same points as in FIG. 1 will be omitted as appropriate.

  For example, the transportation fee by the vehicle 20 may be a value obtained by reducing an amount paid by an operator (advertiser) located at a transit point in the route (hereinafter also referred to as “advertiser burden”). For example, in the transportation service provided by the mobile control device 100, it is assumed that a point where the advertiser is located is determined as a route via point when the advertiser pays a predetermined amount. In the example of FIG. 11, it is assumed that the T convenience store is located at the route point LC111 of the route RT11 and the U convenience store is located at the route point LC121 of the route RT12 as shown in the map information MP11.

  The example of FIG. 11 shows a case where the user U1 makes a request for dispatch but does not specify a specific destination (destination) or the like. First, the mobile control device 100 acquires a request for an incoming vehicle by the vehicle 20 from the terminal device 10 used by the user U1 (step S21). For example, the mobile control device 100 acquires a request (request) to dispatch the vehicle 20 from the terminal device 10 used by the user U1 located at home (position LC11). In the example of FIG. 11, the mobile control device 100 acquires a request RQ11 that does not include designation of a specific destination (destination) from the user U1. In the example of FIG. 11, the mobile control device 100 is assumed to acquire a request RQ11 specifying the position LC11 of the user U1's home as the departure place from the user U1.

  The mobile control device 100 that has acquired the request from the user U1 acquires the hobby preference information of the user U1 (step S22). In the example of FIG. 11, the mobile control device 100 acquires the hobby preference information of the user U1 from the user information storage unit 124.

  Then, the moving body control device 100 determines a destination (step S23). For example, the mobile control device 100 determines a destination to be proposed to the user U1 based on the user's U1 hobbies and preferences. In the example of FIG. 11, the mobile control device 100 determines a destination from the POI stored in the POI information storage unit 122.

For example, the mobile control device 100 determines a route for moving from the home (position LC11) of the user U1 to the B movie theater (position LC102) based on road information and the like stored in the map information storage unit 121.

  In the example of FIG. 11, the mobile control device 100 determines three routes RT11 to RT13 as candidate routes as shown in the route information storage unit 123. Here, in the example of FIG. 11, when the advertiser is located at a transit point of each of the routes RT11 to RT13, the mobile control device 100 reduces the amount paid by the advertiser from the transportation fee.

  In the example of FIG. 11, as shown in the advertisement list AL11, the operator (T convenience store) identified by the advertiser ID “AC11” is located at the position LC111 in the route RT11, and the amount paid by the T convenience store is 100 yen. Indicates that Therefore, as shown in the route information storage unit 123 in FIG. 11, the mobile control device 100 reduces the transportation fee for the route RT11 by reducing the amount (100 yen) paid by the T convenience store from the normal transportation fee (1000 yen). Calculated as 900 yen.

  In the example of FIG. 11, when the user U1 designates the route RT11, the vehicle 20 carrying the user U1 stops at the T convenience store located at the position LC111 and heads for the destination A movie theater.

  In the example of FIG. 11, as shown in the advertisement list AL11, the operator (U convenience store) identified by the advertiser ID “AC12” is located at the position LC121 in the route RT12, and the amount paid by the U convenience store is Indicates that it is 500 yen. Therefore, as shown in the route information storage unit 123 in FIG. 11, the mobile control device 100 reduces the transportation fee for the route RT12 by reducing the amount (500 yen) paid by the U convenience store from the normal transportation fee (1000 yen). Calculated as 500 yen.

  In the example of FIG. 11, when the user U1 designates the route RT12, the vehicle 20 carrying the user U1 stops at the U convenience store located at the position LC121 and heads for the destination A movie theater.

  Then, the mobile control device 100 calculates a score for each candidate route (step S25). In the example of FIG. 11, the mobile control device 100 calculates the scores of the routes RT11 to RT13 that are candidate routes.

  For example, the mobile control device 100 calculates a route score so that a route with a lower total price has a higher score. In the example of FIG. 11, the mobile control device 100 calculates a score of the route RT12 whose total amount is 2500 (500 + 2000) yen higher than the route RT11 whose total amount is 2900 (900 + 2000) yen. Good.

  In the example of FIG. 11, as shown in the score list SL21, the mobile control device 100 sets the score of the route RT11 to “SC21 (<SC22)”, the score of the route RT12 to “SC22”, and the score of the route RT13 to “SC23”. (<SC21) ”. In this way, in the example of FIG. 11, the route RT12 has the highest score, the route RT11 having a higher total amount than the route RT12 has the second highest score after the route RT12, and the route RT13 has the higher total amount than the route RT11. The case of the lowest score is shown.

  Then, the mobile control device 100 determines a route (suggested route) to be proposed to the user who is the request source (step S26). In the example of FIG. 11, the mobile control device 100 determines the route RT12 having the highest score among the routes RT11 to RT13, which are candidate routes in the score list SL21, as the proposed route to the user U1.

  The mobile control device 100 provides the proposed route to the user who is the request source (step S27). In the example of FIG. 11, the mobile control device 100 provides information on the route RT12 to the terminal device 10 of the user U1.

  Then, the terminal device 10 to which the information on the route RT12 is provided from the mobile control device 100 displays the information on the route RT12 as shown on the page PG21. The user U1 who has confirmed the information on the route RT12 displayed on the terminal device 10 determines whether or not to receive the transportation service on the route RT12.

  As shown on page PG21 in FIG. 11, the mobile control apparatus 100 has information indicating that the destination is the A movie theater located at the position LC101 and the required time is 45 minutes as information on the route RT12. Is provided to the terminal device 10 of the user U1. In addition, the mobile control device 100 provides the terminal device 10 of the user U1 with information indicating that the user stops at the U convenience store located at the position LC121 as a waypoint and information indicating that the transportation fee is 500 yen.

  In the example of FIG. 11, since the user U1 touches the “OK” button in the page PG21 with the finger F1, the terminal device 10 transmits information indicating that the user U1 has specified the route RT12 to the mobile control device 100. . Thereby, the mobile control device 100 acquires information indicating that the user U1 has specified the route RT12 from the terminal device 10 (step S28).

  Then, the moving body control device 100 determines a route designated by the user (designated route) as a route for carrying the user, and controls the moving body to move the determined route (step S29). In the example of FIG. 11, the mobile control device 100 controls the vehicle 20-1 so as to move to the home of the user U <b> 1 (position LC <b> 11) and move the user RT on the route RT <b> 12. For example, the mobile control device 100 provides (transmits) the vehicle 20-1 with information on the route that travels from the current position of the vehicle 20-1 to the home of the user U1 (position LC11) and information on the route RT12. The vehicle 20-1 is controlled so as to move the route RT12 with the user U1.

  Thereby, the mobile control device 100 can reduce the financial burden on the user and can effectively promote the business operator (advertiser).

[4-1. (Designation of waypoints)
In addition, the mobile control device 100 is not limited to the above, and may determine whether to charge the advertiser according to various modes, or may determine the transportation fee charged to the user. For example, the mobile control device 100 may allow the user to specify whether to stop at a facility (for example, a convenience store) located at a waypoint.

  In this case, for example, when the mobile control device 100 designates the user to stop at the facility located at the waypoint, the mobile body control device 100 may stop at the facility located at the waypoint. And the mobile body control apparatus 100 may charge a cost to the facility which stopped. In the example of FIG. 11, when the user U1 specifies that the user U1 stops at the U convenience store, the mobile body control device 100 may stop at the U convenience store and charge the U convenience store for an amount of “500 yen”. In addition, the mobile control device 100 may reduce the amount paid by the U convenience store from the transportation fee of the user U1. The mobile control device 100 may determine the transportation fee by the route RT12 charged to the user U1 as “500 (= 1000−500) yen”.

  Note that the mobile control device 100 may not only stop at the facility at the waypoint but also reduce the transportation fee paid by the user when a predetermined condition is satisfied. In this case, the mobile control device 100 may notify the user of a condition for reducing the amount. For example, the mobile control device 100 may reduce the transportation fee paid by the user when purchasing a predetermined amount (for example, 500 yen or more) at a facility where the user has visited. For example, the mobile control device 100 may notify the user's terminal device 10 that the transportation fee paid by the user will be reduced if a product is purchased by a predetermined amount (for example, 500 yen or more).

  In the example of FIG. 11, the mobile control device 100 may reduce 500 yen from the transportation fee “1000 yen” paid by the user U1 when making a purchase of 500 yen or more at the U convenience store visited by the user. . For example, if the mobile control device 100 purchases a product at the U convenience store for 500 yen or more to the terminal device 10 of the user U1, the transportation fee paid by the user U1 is reduced to “500 (= 1000−500) yen”. You may notify that. Thereby, the mobile body control apparatus 100 can increase the possibility that the user will use money by purchasing a product or the like at the waypoint.

  Further, in this case, for example, when the mobile control device 100 specifies that the user does not stop at the facility located at the waypoint, the mobile body control device 100 may transport the user to the destination without stopping at the facility located at the waypoint. Good. In the example of FIG. 11, when the user U1 specifies that the user U1 does not stop at the U convenience store, the mobile body control device 100 transports the user U1 to the destination “A movie theater” without stopping at the U convenience store. Moreover, the mobile body control device 100 does not charge a cost to the facility at the waypoint. In the example of FIG. 11, the mobile control device 100 does not charge the amount “500 yen” to the U convenience store that the user U1 did not stop by.

[5. Example of route determination)
In addition, the mobile body control device 100 may determine a route based on various information without being limited to the calculated score. For example, the mobile control device 100 may determine a route based on the correspondence between the characteristics of each candidate route and the user's hobbies and preferences. This point will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating an example of route determination based on a user's hobbies and preferences. In FIG. 12, the description of the same points as in FIG. 1 will be omitted as appropriate.

  In the example of FIG. 12, the mobile control device 100 uses the various information such as information stored in the map information storage unit 121, the POI information storage unit 122, the route information storage unit 123, and the like to characterize each route. Extract (step S31). For example, the mobile control device 100 extracts information indicating characteristics of the routes RT11 to RT13 (hereinafter also referred to as “feature information”) as shown in the route list RL31 in FIG.

  In the example of FIG. 12, the total amount of the route RT11 is 3000 yen, the required time is 30 minutes, the destination is highly congested, and the route is a landscape at the time of travel (hereinafter referred to as “route landscape”). The feature information of the route RT11 indicating that is bad is extracted. The congestion degree of the destination may be information regarding the congestion status of the POI corresponding to the destination stored in the POI information storage unit 122. Further, the route landscape may be information indicating the quality of the scenery during route travel based on the map information stored in the map information storage unit 121.

  In the example of FIG. 12, for the route RT12, the total amount is 3000 yen, the required time is 45 minutes, the destination congestion is high, and the feature information of the route RT12 indicating that the route landscape is good is extracted. To do. In the example of FIG. 12, the route RT13 has a total amount of 4500 yen, a required time of 1 hour, a low degree of congestion at the destination, and the route RT13 characteristic information indicating that the route landscape is normal To extract.

  In the example of FIG. 12, the mobile control device 100 determines a route to be proposed to the user U1 based on the correspondence between the feature information of each of the routes RT11 to RT13 and the user U1's hobbies and preferences information. For example, the moving body control device 100 will be described with respect to a case where each of the hobby preferences TA31 to TA33 is estimated from the hobby preference information TL31 of the user U1 in the user information storage unit 124. In addition, the mobile body control device 100 may estimate the user's hobby preference information using various conventional techniques as appropriate. For example, the mobile control device 100 may estimate the user's hobbies and preferences according to the user's behavior information, the type of application installed by the user in the terminal device 10, and the like. In addition, the mobile control device 100 may acquire the user's hobbies and preferences information from an external device having the user's preferences and preferences information.

  For example, as shown in the hobby preference TA31, when the user U1 has an impatient taste preference (personality), the mobile control device 100 displays a route having a feature corresponding to the user U1's hobby preference “Essacchi”. To the proposed route (step S32-1). In the example of FIG. 12, the mobile control device 100 determines the route RT11 having the shortest required time “30 minutes” as the transport route of the user U1, as indicated by the corresponding route information TR31. For example, the mobile control device 100 may propose the route RT11 to the user U1 as the proposed route. For example, when the user U1 is a user who frequently browses content related to time reduction, the mobile control device 100 may estimate the user's U1 hobby preference “Sekachi”.

  For example, as shown in the hobby preference TA32, when the user U1 has a landscape preference, the mobile control device 100 sends a route having a feature corresponding to the user U1's preference “landscape preference” to the user U1. To the proposed route (step S32-2). In the example of FIG. 12, as shown in the corresponding route information TR32, the mobile control device 100 determines the route RT12 whose route landscape is “good” as the transportation route of the user U1. For example, the mobile control device 100 may propose the route RT12 to the user U1 as a proposed route. For example, when the interest of the user U1 is “art”, “art”, or the like, the mobile control device 100 may estimate that the user U1 has a hobby “landscape priority”.

  For example, as shown in the hobby preference TA33, when the user U1 has a hobby preference that does not like crowds, the mobile control device 100 sends a route having a feature corresponding to the user U1's hobby preference “I do not like crowds” to the user U1. The proposed route is determined (step S32-3). In the example of FIG. 12, the mobile control device 100 determines a route RT13 having a congestion level of “low” as the transport route of the user U1, as indicated by the corresponding route information TR33. For example, the mobile control device 100 may propose the route RT13 to the user U1 as a proposed route. For example, when the user U1 is a user who is frequently at home on a holiday or the like, the mobile control device 100 may estimate that the user U1 has a hobby “dislike crowd”.

  Thus, the mobile control device 100 may determine a route based on the correspondence between the characteristics of each candidate route and the user's hobbies and preferences. Thereby, the mobile body control device 100 can determine an appropriate route corresponding to the user's hobbies and preferences.
