Functions such as acquiring the arrangement position information from the device and transmitting it to the moving body 108 are realized. The storage unit 12 includes storage means such as a semiconductor memory or a memory card. The storage unit 12 is connected to the processing unit 10 so as to be accessible, and stores a host program and information necessary for the processing. The input unit 14 includes means for inputting information. The input unit 14 includes, for example, a keyboard, a touch panel, buttons, etc. that receive an input from an administrator. The output unit 16 includes means for outputting a processing result in the host computer 102 such as a user interface screen (UI) for receiving input information from the administrator. The output unit 16 includes, for example, a display that presents an image to the administrator. The communication unit 18 includes an interface for communicating information with the user terminal 104 via the information communication network 106. The communication by the communication unit 18 may be wired or wireless.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the user terminal 104 includes a processing unit 20, a storage unit 22, an input unit 24, an output unit 26, and a communication unit 28. The processing unit 20 includes means for performing arithmetic processing such as a CPU. The processing unit 20 realizes the function of the user terminal 104 in the present embodiment by executing the client program stored in the storage unit 22. Further, it is preferable that the processing unit 20 includes a unit for specifying the position of the user terminal 104. For example, it is preferable that the processing unit 20 includes a position specifying unit using a global positioning system (GPS) or a base station of a wireless network. The storage unit 22 includes storage means such as a semiconductor memory or a memory card. The storage unit 22 is connected to the processing unit 20 so as to be accessible, and stores a client program and information necessary for the processing. The input unit 24 includes means for inputting information. The input unit 24 includes, for example, a keyboard, a touch panel, buttons and the like that receive an input from the user.

The communication unit 28 includes an interface for communicating information with the host computer 102 via the information communication network 106. The communication by the communication unit 28 may be wired or wireless.

  The moving body 108 has means for moving an area included in map information described later. The moving body 108 can be, for example, a vehicle traveling on a road. Specifically, for example, the moving body 108 can be a taxi or a luggage delivery vehicle.

  Hereinafter, with reference to the flowchart in FIG. 4, the moving object placement processing in the present embodiment will be described. The following processing is realized by executing the host program on the host computer 102 and executing the client program on the user terminal 104. In the present embodiment, a vehicle will be described as an example of moving body 108. Therefore, in the following description, the arrangement position of the moving body 108 will be described as the vehicle allocation position.

  In step S10, the user terminal 104 gives an instruction to start the moving object placement process. The user uses the input unit 24 of the user terminal 104 to give an instruction to start the process in the moving body placement system 100. For example, the start instruction of the moving object placement process is accepted by accessing the URL of the website that provides the moving object placement system 100. When the processing unit 20 of the user terminal 104 receives the instruction to start the moving body placement processing, the processing unit 20 transmits the disclosure instruction and the user terminal position information indicating the current position of the user terminal 104 to the host computer 102 via the communication unit 28. The user terminal position information can be acquired by a GPS function provided in the user terminal 104 or a position grasping technique using a wireless base station accessed by the user terminal 104. For example, the current position of the user terminal 104 may be the latitude and longitude of the user terminal 104. If the moving body 108 is a flying body that can move even in the air, the current position of the user terminal 104 may include latitude and longitude plus altitude. When the processing unit 10 of the host computer 102 receives the start instruction of the moving object placement process and the user terminal position information via the communication unit 18, the moving unit placement process is started.

  In step S12, the map information is transmitted from the host computer 102 to the user terminal 104. By the processing in this step, the host computer 102 functions as a map information transmitting unit and the user terminal 104 functions as a map information receiving unit. The map database 30 may be stored in the storage unit 12 in advance as shown in FIG. The processing unit 10 of the host computer 102 refers to the user terminal position information indicating the current position X of the user terminal 104 received in step S10 and refers to the map database registered in the storage unit 12 to determine a predetermined range around the current position X. The map information 32 indicating the map is extracted.

  FIG. 5 shows an example of extraction of the map information 32 when the current position X is 35 ° 42′11 ″ north latitude and 139 ° 34′46 ″ east longitude. In this example, a range of 400 m in the longitude direction and 300 m in the latitude direction with the current position X as the center position is extracted as the map information 32. However, the extraction range of the map information 32 is not limited to this, and may be specified by the user, or may be changed according to the configuration of the moving object placement system 100.

  In addition, the processing unit 10 extracts placement information relating to factors that affect the placement of the moving body in association with the position on the map. In this embodiment, since the moving body is a vehicle, the arrangement information is road conditions related to the vehicle. As a specific example, the placement information is information indicating an intrusion prohibited position (vehicle entry prohibited position) where the moving body cannot enter and a stop prohibiting position (vehicle parking / stopping prohibited position) where the moving body cannot be stopped. However, the arrangement information is not limited to this, and other examples will be described later.

  The arrangement information is stored in the storage unit 12 in association with the map information. For example, the layout information is registered in association with each other on each coordinate on the map or each area on the map. The coordinates on the map can be latitude and longitude if the mobile body moves on the ground surface like a vehicle. Further, the altitude may be included in addition to the latitude and longitude as long as the mobile body can move in the air like a flying body. Further, the area on the map can be a road area, a division area, a flight area, or the like.

  In the present embodiment, since the moving body is a vehicle, an example in which the arrangement information is registered in association with the road area on the map will be described. When the placement information is set to the intrusion prohibited position (vehicle entry prohibited position) where the moving body cannot enter, as shown in FIG. 6, a road area (in the figure, where the moving body (vehicle) can enter in association with the road area in the map information. Information (arrangement information 34) indicating a road area (indicated by a thick broken line in the drawing) in which a moving body (vehicle) cannot enter is stored in the storage unit 12. Further, when the arrangement information is a stop prohibition position (vehicle parking stop prohibition position) where the moving body cannot be stopped, as shown in FIG. 7, a road area where the moving body (vehicle) can stop in association with the road area in the map information. Information (arrangement information 36) indicating a road area (indicated by a thick solid line in the figure) and a road area (indicated by a thick broken line in the figure) in which the moving body (vehicle) cannot stop is stored in the storage unit 12.

  The processing unit 10 refers to the arrangement information stored in the storage unit 12 and extracts the arrangement information 34, 36 within the range of the map information 32 extracted based on the current position X of the user terminal 104. The processing unit 10 transmits the map information 32 and the arrangement information 34, 36 extracted via the communication unit 18 to the user terminal 104. The user terminal 104 receives the map information 32 and the arrangement information 34, 36 via the communication unit 28.

  In step S14, the map is displayed on the user terminal 104. The user terminal 104 functions as a map information display unit by the processing in this step. As shown in FIG. 8, the processing unit 20 of the user terminal 104 causes the output unit 26 to display a map based on the map information 32 received in step S12.

  In step S16, a process of accepting the input of the position on the map information from the user terminal 104 is performed. The user terminal 104 functions as a position information acquisition unit by the processing in this step. The user uses the input unit 24 of the user terminal 104 to input a position on the map displayed on the output unit 26 in step S14, which is a reference position for arranging the moving body. For example, when the input unit 24 is a touch panel, the reference position is input by touching the map displayed on the output unit 26 with a finger. Further, for example, when the input unit 24 is a pointing device such as a mouse, the reference position is input by moving and clicking the cursor on the map displayed on the output unit 26. The processing unit 20 receives the input of the reference position.

  In the present embodiment, the process of accepting the designation of the reference position from the user is described, but the process is not limited to this. For example, the current position X of the user terminal 104 may be the reference position.

  In step S18, a process of referring to the placement information 34 and 36 and determining a placement candidate position that is a candidate for placing the moving body based on the input reference position is performed. By the processing in this step, the user terminal 104 functions as a placement candidate position determining means. The processing unit 20 refers to the placement information 34 and 36 received in step S12 and determines a placement candidate position for the moving body based on the reference position input in step S16.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 9, a region within a predetermined range 40 (for example, within a radius R) from the reference position Y where the moving body can enter and the moving body can stop is located at the placement candidate position 38 (thick solid line in the figure). ). However, the process of determining the placement candidate position is not limited to this. For example, by referring only to the placement information 34, a region within the predetermined range from the reference position Y into which the mobile body can enter may be determined as the placement candidate position. Further, only the placement information 36 may be referred to, and an area within the predetermined range from the reference position Y where the moving body can stop may be determined as the placement candidate position.

  Further, the predetermined range from the reference position Y is not limited to the range of the radius R. For example, the predetermined range may be a rectangular area centered on the reference position Y and having a predetermined distance in the latitude direction and a predetermined distance in the longitude direction. In addition, when the moving body moves in space like a flying body, a predetermined range may be set including the range of altitude in addition to latitude and longitude. Further, the predetermined range with respect to the reference position Y may be set by an input from the user.

  In step S20, a process of displaying the placement candidate position on the user terminal 104 is performed. By the processing in this step, the user terminal 104 functions as an arrangement candidate position display means. The processing unit 20 causes the output unit 26 to display the placement candidate position obtained in step S18. At this time, as shown in FIG. 10, it is preferable to display the placement candidate positions by superimposing them on the map displayed on the output unit 26 in step S14.

  Note that the user may change the designation of the reference position Y on the map and simultaneously extract and display the placement candidate positions 38 in real time. Specifically, by repeating the processing from steps S16 to S20, every time the reference position Y is changed, the placement candidate position 38 corresponding to the changed reference position Y may be obtained and displayed.

  In step S22, a process of accepting the designation of the placement position of the moving body 108 from the user terminal 104 is performed. By the processing in this step, the user terminal 104 functions as an arrangement position information acquisition unit. Using the input unit 24, the processing unit 20 receives designation of a position (arrangement position) at which the user desires to arrange the moving body 108 from the arrangement candidate positions 38 on the map displayed on the output unit 26 in step S20. For example, when the input unit 24 and the output unit 26 are touch panels, the user taps the placement candidate position 38 on the map displayed as shown in FIG. It is accepted as the arrangement position Z of 108. The processing unit 20 transmits to the host computer 102 together with the user ID that identifies the user who has specified the arrangement position Z received via the communication unit 28. The host computer 102 receives the arrangement position Z and the user ID via the communication unit 18.

  In step S24, the host computer 102 transmits information on the arrangement position Z to the moving body 108. By the processing in this step, the host computer 102 functions as a moving body placement means. When the processing unit 10 of the host computer 102 receives the arrangement position Z transmitted from the user terminal 104 via the communication unit 18, as illustrated in FIG. 11, the user who specifies the reception time and the arrangement position Z specifies the user. The storage position Z is stored in the storage unit 12 in association with the ID. Further, the processing unit 10 transmits information indicating the arrangement position Z to the moving body 108 via the communication unit 18. As a result, the moving body 108 that has received the arrangement position Z can be moved to the arrangement position Z.

  For example, when the moving body 108 is a taxi, the current position of the taxi registered in the host computer 102 is collected, an empty taxi near the placement position Z is selected, and the placement position Z is transmitted to the taxi. You can do it. As for the current position of the moving body 108, a position grasping means such as GPS may be mounted on the moving body 108 and the current position may be transmitted to the host computer 102. Thus, the taxi driver who has received the arrangement position Z can move the vehicle to the arrangement position Z.

  Further, for example, when the moving body 108 is a delivery vehicle that delivers a package to a user who has designated the location Z, a delivery vehicle carrying the user's luggage is extracted, and the location Z is set to the extracted delivery vehicle. Just send it. Specifically, the delivery vehicle loaded with the luggage to be delivered to the user is registered in the storage unit 12 in association with the user ID for identifying the user, and the placement position Z received in step S22 by the processing unit 10 is registered. The home delivery vehicle associated with the user ID is extracted by referring to the user ID received together with the user ID. Then, the processing unit 10 transmits the arrangement position Z to the extracted home delivery vehicle. As a result, the driver who drives the delivery vehicle that has received the placement position Z can move the delivery vehicle to the placement position Z. Therefore, the user can receive the luggage at the arrangement position Z.

  Note that this embodiment can also be applied to the moving body 108 in automatic operation. In the case of the autonomously moving vehicle 108, the vehicle 108 that has received the placement position automatically moves to the placement position and stops by the automatic driving technique. Further, the moving body 108 is not limited to a vehicle, and may be any object that moves based on a map (including a nautical chart, an aerial chart, etc.). For example, the moving body 108 may be a flying body (for example, a drone or the like), a ship, or the like.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to specify the arrangement position based on the arrangement information regarding the arrangement of the moving body in the map information. As a result, for example, it becomes possible to specify the arrangement position of the moving body excluding the area where the moving body is prohibited from entering and the area where the moving body is stopped.

  The arrangement information is not limited to the above example. For example, the placement information can be road conditions. The road condition can be information about the traffic of the mobile body 108 (information about the number of lanes, one-way traffic, etc.) in addition to the position where the mobile body 108 cannot enter or the position where the mobile body 108 cannot stop.

  When the number of lanes of a road is used as the placement information as the information regarding the passage of the moving body 108, a road having more than a predetermined number of lanes or a road having a smaller number of lanes within a predetermined range from the reference position Y is determined as a placement candidate position. The information may be presented to the user. Further, when the information on the one-way road is used as the arrangement information as the information on the passage of the moving object 108, the road on which the vehicle can pass in the predetermined direction within the predetermined range from the reference position Y is determined as the arrangement candidate position. It may be presented to the user. For example, in Japan where the vehicle is driving on the left side, an area where the vehicle approaches the reference position Y from the left side may be presented as the placement candidate position.

  Further, the arrangement information may be information regarding the environment registered in association with the position information of the map. For example, the information about the environment may be information about the characteristics of the area (a residential area, a commercial area, an industrial area, an area related to education, etc.). For example, an area of a residential area within a predetermined range from the reference position Y is set as an allocation candidate position, and a commercial land or an industrial area is not determined as an allocation candidate position, or vice versa. do it. Thereby, it becomes easy to specify the arrangement position of the moving body 108 by specifying or excluding the area having a specific characteristic. Also, information about the environment and other placement information may be used in combination. For example, processing may be performed such that a position where the moving body 108 can enter, other than an area related to education (school and its vicinity, etc.), is determined as a placement candidate position and presented to the user. As a result, it becomes easy to specify the arrangement position of the moving body 108 except for the area related to education. Further, the information about the environment may be information about the sidewalk. For example, a road provided with a sidewalk within a predetermined range from the reference position Y may be determined as an arrangement candidate position and presented to the user. As a result, it becomes easy to specify the arrangement position of the moving body 108 such as a taxi only on a safe road having a sidewalk. Further, a road having no step on the sidewalk within a predetermined range from the reference position Y may be determined as the placement candidate position and presented to the user. As a result, it becomes easy to specify the location of the moving body 108 such as a home delivery vehicle only on a road having no step on the sidewalk.

  Further, the arrangement information may be information regarding traffic congestion. For example, information on a road that is congested may be collected via the communication unit 18 and used as the arrangement information. Specifically, a road that is within a predetermined range from the reference position Y and is not congested may be determined as a placement candidate position and presented to the user. Further, the information regarding traffic jam and other placement information may be used in combination. For example, a position that is within a predetermined range from the reference position Y, is a road that is not congested, and that allows the moving body 108 to enter may be determined as the placement candidate position and presented to the user.

  Further, the arrangement information may be information regarding weather. For example, the information about the weather at each point may be collected via the communication unit 18 and used as the arrangement information. Specifically, a position within a predetermined range from the reference position Y and a precipitation amount of which is equal to or less than a predetermined reference value may be determined as an arrangement candidate position and presented to the user. Further, the weather information and other placement information may be used in combination. For example, by using the information about the place where rain can be rained as the information about the environment as the arrangement information, the region where the rain falls can be selected as the area within the predetermined range from the reference position Y and the precipitation amount is equal to or more than the predetermined reference value. It may be determined as an arrangement candidate position and presented to the user.

  Further, the arrangement information may be changed according to the size of the moving body 108. For example, the arrangement information may be prepared for each size of the moving body 108, and the arrangement information may be switched and used according to the size of the moving body 108 to be arranged. For example, when the position where the moving body 108 cannot be stopped is used as the arrangement information, the moving body cannot be stopped for each size of the moving body 108 (motorcycle, small car, medium-sized car, small truck, medium-sized truck, large truck, etc.). The position may be registered in the storage unit 12 and the placement candidate position may be determined by selecting placement information according to the size of the moving object 108 to be placed. As a specific example, the vehicle allocation information is selected according to the size of the vehicle carrying the luggage to be delivered to the user or the size of the taxi the user desires to allocate, and the position where the vehicle of that size can be stopped is determined as the allocation candidate position. And present it to the user.

  Further, the arrangement information may be changed with the time. For example, a position where the moving body 108 cannot stop (such as a parking prohibition position or a stopping prohibition position) may change with time. Therefore, the position where the moving body 108 can be stopped is registered as placement information according to the time range. Every other time, the arrangement information corresponding to the time when the reference position Y is designated is selected, and the position where the moving body 108 can be stopped at the time within the predetermined range from the reference position Y is determined as the arrangement candidate position and presented to the user. do it. Also, information about roads that become dark at night and roads without street lights is registered as placement information, and placement candidate positions are determined regardless of the placement information from sunrise time to sunset time. The placement candidate positions may be determined except for roads that become darker at night and roads that do not have street lights.

  Further, the arrangement information may be information obtained from the arrangement position Z designated in the past. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 13, the processing unit 10 associates the arrangement position Z designated in the past for each user with the user ID and stores the arrangement position history information in the storage unit 12 as arrangement position history information. Then, the arrangement position history information is used as arrangement information. Specifically, the layout position Z designated last for each user is registered, and the information is used as layout information. Thereby, the layout position Z designated last for each user can be determined as the layout candidate position and presented to the user. Alternatively, the average position of the coordinates of the arrangement position Z designated in the past may be registered for each user, and the information may be used as the arrangement information. Thereby, the average position of the past arrangement position Z can be presented to the user as the arrangement candidate position for each user.

  Further, in addition to the arrangement position Z, the direction of the moving body 108 at the time of arrangement may be designated. For example, when the moving body 108 is a vehicle, it may have to travel along a predetermined side of the road, such as left-hand traffic or right-hand traffic. Therefore, it is preferable that the direction of the moving body 108 can be designated so that the moving body 108 can be arranged in consideration of the side where it is easy to get into the moving body 108 and the side where the luggage is easily taken out (the side where the luggage door of the moving body 108 is located). Therefore, as shown in FIG. 12, when designating the arrangement position Z, the icon 50 indicating the direction of the moving body 108 may be displayed on the map information. In this case, it is preferable that the user can specify the direction of the moving body 108. For example, the direction of the moving body 108 (indicated by the arrow of the icon 50 in FIG. 12) may be switched along the road each time the user double-tap the icon 50. The information on the orientation of the moving body 108 is transmitted from the user terminal 104 to the host computer 102. Further, it is transmitted from the host computer 102 to the mobile body 108. Accordingly, the moving body 108 can be moved to the arrangement position in the designated direction.

  Further, not only the reference position Y but also the arrangement candidate position may be determined based on the relationship with the destination of the moving body 108. In this case, the destination of the moving body 108 can be specified together with the reference position Y using the input unit 24. For example, when the moving body 108 is a taxi, the user may specify the destination position where the user will get on the taxi as the destination of the moving body 108. The processing unit 20 performs a route search from the reference position Y to the destination based on the relationship between the reference position Y and the destination, and finds the placement candidate positions within the predetermined range from the reference position Y and on the obtained route. It should be extracted. Further, based on the relationship between the reference position Y and the destination, a position where the route to the destination does not become a detour (for example, a position where the route to the destination has the shortest distance or a prediction to the destination). The position where the arrival time is shortest) may be determined as the placement candidate position.

  It should be noted that the examples of the arrangement information described above may be combined appropriately and used. When a plurality of pieces of arrangement information are used in combination, a position that satisfies all predetermined conditions for each piece of arrangement information may be determined as an arrangement candidate position. Alternatively, priority may be set for a plurality of pieces of arrangement information, arrangement information may be selected in descending order of priority, and a position that satisfies a predetermined condition for the selected arrangement information may be determined as an arrangement candidate position. In this case, if there is a position that satisfies a predetermined condition for the layout information with a higher priority, then that position is determined as a layout candidate position, and if there is no position that satisfies the condition, the next priority is given. It suffices to determine whether or not there is a position that satisfies a predetermined condition with respect to the placement information having a high value. By repeating such processing in order of priority, it is possible to determine the placement candidate position based on the plurality of placement information and present it to the user.

  Further, part or all of the processing described as being performed by the host computer 102 in the present embodiment may be performed by the user terminal 104, or part or all of the processing described as being performed by the user terminal 104 may be performed. It may be performed by the host computer 102.
