The article a loaded on the article A placing apparatus 410 must be delivered to the user of the first terminal X and the article b placed on the B article placing apparatus 420 must be delivered to the user of the second terminal Y do. At this time, by comparing the bibliographic information of the article a with the bibliographic information of the article b, it is possible to determine a higher priority of the destination terminal corresponding to the heavier (or more expensive, or more expensive) article. As described above, the visiting order can be determined to be the second terminal Y visit corresponding to the light b article after the first terminal X corresponding to the heavy a article, and the flight path can be set as shown in (1), (2) . When the UAV 400 arrives within a predetermined distance d1 from the first terminal X, the unmanned airplane 400 delivers the article a to the user of the first terminal X through communication with the first terminal X, (D2) from the second terminal (Y) through the communication with the second terminal (Y). After the delivery, the UAV 400 can return to the initial position.

According to another embodiment, the priority may be determined based on position information of a plurality of terminals identified based on the identification information and positional information of a place where the battery of the UAV 400 can be charged.

For example, the location of the first terminal X may be close to the battery charging location (not shown) of the UAV 400 and the location of the second terminal Y may be remote from the battery charging location. That is, since visiting the second terminal Y after visiting the first terminal X is more advantageous for battery management, the priority order of the first terminal X is determined to be higher than that of the second terminal Y . As described above, the visiting order can be determined to be the visit to the second terminal Y after charging the battery after the visit of the first terminal X close to the battery charging place, and the flight path can be set as ①, ②, .
