The display-processed map data is displayed by, for example, the display device 106. FIG. 4 shows an example of the display-processed map data. When the position information of the moving body is continuously acquired, for example, the display processing unit 13 may process the position of the moving body to be updated and displayed at any time. On the other hand, when the moving body position information is acquired at regular intervals, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, the display processing unit 13 indicates the traveling direction of the moving body on the map data using symbols such as arrows. It may be processed so as to be displayed in. The traveling direction can be analyzed from, for example, the moving body position information acquired at the n-1th time and the moving body position information acquired at the nth time (n is an integer of 1 or more).

The vehicle allocation management-related information acquisition unit 12 may further acquire usage status information indicating the usage status of the moving body from the vehicle allocation management device, for example. In this case, for example, the display processing unit 13 further performs a display process for displaying the usage status of the moving body, and also performs a display process for changing the display of the usage status by selecting the moving body by the selection unit 14. You may go. As shown in FIG. 4, the usage status includes, for example, "vacant", "boarding", "getting off", "selecting", "picking up" and the like. Further, the moving body "in boarding", "in disembarkation", and "in reception" may be able to display at least one of the boarding point and the disembarking point as the usage status, for example. The "selecting" is, for example, a moving body that is being selected by a specific user but has not been determined to be picked up. Specifically, for example, it may indicate the selection by the user himself / herself (hereinafter, also simply referred to as “user”), or may indicate the selection by another user. For example, when the user selects the taxi A shown in FIG. 4, the vehicle allocation management-related information acquisition unit 12 changes the usage status of the taxi A from "vacant" to "selecting".

The display processing unit 13 may perform display processing for displaying only the moving body in which the usage condition information is narrowed down under a predetermined condition, for example, via the input unit 16. The predetermined conditions are not particularly limited and can be set arbitrarily. For example, there are information on the company to which the mobile body belongs, the product and the like, the usage conditions, the usage status and the like. Thereby, for example, the user can display only the taxi belonging to a specific taxi company, and the selection by the selection unit 14 described later becomes easy.

Next, the selection unit 14 selects a plurality of the moving bodies from the displayed moving bodies by referring to the usage condition information via the input unit 16 (S14). The selection is made by assigning a vehicle allocation desired order to the plurality of selected moving bodies. The vehicle allocation desired order indicates, for example, the order of the moving bodies that the user desires to dispatch from the selected plurality of moving bodies. The criteria for the vehicle allocation desired order is arbitrary, and can be determined by, for example, the user. Specifically, for example, from each taxi shown in FIG. 4, the user selects taxis B to D that can be paid by credit card. Then, the user assigns the taxi dispatch desired order to the taxis B to D. The criteria for the desired vehicle allocation order are not particularly limited and can be arbitrarily determined by the user. Specifically, for example, based on the current position of the user, the taxi dispatch desired order is higher in the order closest to the user (taxi C, taxi D, taxi B). Further, based on the usage status, for example, the usage status is "vacant", "selected by another user", and "on board" (taxi B, taxi C, taxi D in that order). The vehicle allocation desired order becomes higher. Further, the criterion of the vehicle allocation desired order may be, for example, a large amount of the usage condition information suitable for the request of the user. As described above, the selection unit 14 can be arbitrarily selected regardless of the usage status.

Next, the output unit 15 provides the vehicle allocation management device with vehicle allocation request information indicating a vehicle allocation request by at least one of the selected moving objects and the self-position information via the communication unit 17.

In the device 10, for example, by designating the number of the moving bodies required by the user via the input unit 16, the vehicle is dispatched by two or more moving bodies among the plurality of selected moving bodies. Requests are possible.

Then, the vehicle allocation management-related information acquisition unit 12 further acquires the vehicle allocation request result information indicating the result of the vehicle allocation request from the vehicle allocation management device via the communication unit 17 (S16), and ends (END). The vehicle dispatch request result information includes, for example, the result of the vehicle dispatch request (OK / NG), the information of the mobile body that approved the vehicle dispatch request (mobile ID, license plate, management company, etc.), reservation ID, arrival time required, and estimation. Fares etc. are included.

The output unit 15 may further output user identification information indicating information about the user to the vehicle allocation management device via the communication unit 17, for example. The user identification information is not particularly limited, and includes, for example, a user ID (identification), a vehicle allocation request ID, a name, biometric information, and the like. The apparatus 10 may store the user identification information in advance, for example. Then, the vehicle allocation management-related information acquisition unit 12 may acquire the vehicle allocation request result information including the vehicle allocation request identification information different for each vehicle allocation request from the vehicle allocation management device, for example, via the communication unit 17. The vehicle allocation request identification information is not particularly limited, and is, for example, information including the user identification information. Thereby, for example, when the user uses the moving body (for example, getting on the vehicle), the device 10 can authenticate the person, and a person different from the user who requested the vehicle allocation can perform the personal authentication. It is possible to prevent spoofing such as using a moving body.

The device 10 may further include, for example, a boarding / alighting point designation unit. For example, before the step (S15), the boarding / alighting point designation unit designates at least one of the boarding point and the disembarking point (hereinafter, also referred to as a boarding point or the like) via the input unit 16. The designated format is not particularly limited, and may be specified by directly inputting an address, a name, or the like of the boarding point or the like via a keyboard (input unit 16), for example. Further, the designated format may be selected by, for example, using the touch panel (input unit 16) and tapping the boarding point or the like on the map. The boarding point and the like can be arbitrarily specified. Then, the output unit 15 further outputs the boarding / alighting point information indicating at least one of the boarding point and the disembarking point to the vehicle allocation management device.

In the present device 10, the vehicle allocation management-related information acquisition unit 12 may further acquire recommended boarding / alighting point information from the vehicle allocation management device via, for example, the communication unit 17. The recommended boarding / alighting point information will be described later. Then, the boarding / alighting point designation unit may designate at least one of the boarding point and the disembarking point from the acquired recommended boarding / alighting point information.

According to the vehicle allocation request device 10 of the present embodiment, by requesting a plurality of moving objects to allocate a vehicle by referring to the usage conditions, it is possible to allocate a moving body suitable for the user's request. Further, according to the present device 10, since the user can grasp the position of the moving body, the user grasps the time required for the moving body to arrive at the meeting place (self-position or the boarding point). be able to. With the prior art, it was not possible to know whether the terms of use were suitable for the user's request without boarding. However, according to the present device 10, for example, it is possible to determine whether or not it is suitable for the user's request before boarding. Further, according to the present device 10, for example, it is possible to request a plurality of taxi companies to dispatch a vehicle.
