With the above configuration, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to achieve both traveling efficiency up to the destination and ensuring safety in consideration of human sense of distance for a mobile device that can be boarded.

[Second Embodiment]
An information processing system 200 according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.
In the present embodiment, a virtual shell (from) is set at a position separated by a predetermined distance from personal mobility as a mobile device, and the shell is guided so as not to collide with other personal mobility. The size of the shell can be freely set by the passenger. In the present embodiment, an example in which personal mobility is provided with the information processing system 200 will be described. However, a part or the whole of the information processing system may be provided outside the personal mobility to centrally manage a plurality of personal mobility.

<Configuration of Information Processing System of Second Embodiment>
FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of the information processing system 200 according to the second embodiment. In the information processing system 200 of FIG. 2, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 210 is a processor for arithmetic control, and implements each function of this embodiment by executing a program. A ROM (Read Only Memory) 220 stores fixed data and programs such as initial data and programs. The communication control unit 230 communicates with an external device via a network. When each personal mobility includes the information processing system 200, the external device is another personal mobility. On the other hand, when a part or the whole of the information processing system 200 is provided outside the personal mobility, for example, the external device is an external mobility management device.

A RAM (Random Access Memory) 240 is a storage device that the CPU 210 uses as a temporary storage work area. The RAM 240 has an area for storing sense detection data 241 from various sensors in which personal mobility is installed. In addition, an area for storing video data 242 taken by a camera in which personal mobility is installed is prepared. An area for storing transmission data 243 transmitted via the communication control unit 230 is prepared. The transmission data 243 may include a travel route and current location of the personal mobility of the user, or a minimum distance from the other occupants allowed by the occupant, so-called “personal space”. In addition, an area for storing reception data 244 received via the communication control unit 230 is prepared. The received data 244 may include information on the travel path and current location of other personal mobility or personal space of other passengers. Furthermore, a program load area for loading a program executed by the CPU 210 is provided.

The storage 250 stores data such as a database and rally course information as a creation result, and application programs executed by the CPU 210 in a nonvolatile manner. The storage 250 stores the following data or programs necessary for realizing the present embodiment. The movement control parameter 251 is a parameter related to the movement control of the personal mobility, for example, the collected information is converted into data used for movement control, or the generated control information is adapted to device control such as a motor. Stores parameters to be converted to data. The personal mobility database 252 stores information related to each personal mobility shown in a specific example in FIG. The occupant information database 253 stores information related to each occupant, in this example, information including a personal space. Next, as a program, a movement control program 254 that causes the CPU 210 to execute movement control processing of the personal mobility is stored. An example is shown in FIG. In the movement control program 254, the information collection program 255 collects information necessary for generating the control information of the personal mobility. In addition, the control information generation program 256 generates the control information of the personal mobility using the collected information.

The input interface 260 transmits information input from occupant information collection and instructions, or from various sensors and cameras. In this example, the following devices are connected to the input interface 260. For example, a position sensor 261 for detecting the current location of the personal mobility, a speed sensor 262 and a direction sensor 263 for detecting the movement state of the personal mobility are connected. Also, a personal mobility outside camera 264 for observing the outside of the personal mobility and a personal mobility internal camera 265 for observing the inside of the personal personal mobility, in particular, the facial expression of the occupant are connected. In addition, a voice detection sensor 266 that detects voice inside and outside the personal mobility, a destination input unit 267 for a passenger to input a destination, a card key carried by the passenger, and crew information for reading an identifier (ID) and personal space A reading unit 268 is connected. Note that the destination input unit 267 is not limited to a device such as a keyboard that is operated by an occupant, and can be input by voice input or the like. On the other hand, the output interface 270 is an interface for outputting data to the outside. For example, in the case of a vehicle for moving personal mobility, for example, a drive control unit 271 that controls a drive system such as a motor, a handle, and a brake is connected. A display unit 272 and a sound generation unit 273 are connected and used for information transmission and instruction to the occupant, or for notifying the occupant's state to the outside. In addition, an alarm output unit 274 that outputs a warning in the case of an occupant abnormality, personal mobility abnormality, a situation in which a personal space is likely to be invaded, or an invasion is connected. The alarm output unit 274 may include a configuration that expands and expands the front of the personal mobility to a size that indicates a passenger's personal space.

(Configuration of personal mobility database 252)
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a configuration of the personal mobility database 252 in the information processing system 200 of FIG. Although FIG. 3 shows movement history information and current location information of each personal mobility used in the present embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this.

The personal mobility database 252 stores movement history information 302 and a current location 303 in association with a personal mobility ID 301 that identifies each personal mobility. The history information 302 stores the movement history of personal mobility so far in a column of position coordinates. The latest current location 303 is connected to the end of the history information 302. FIG. 3 shows data 310 related to personal mobility whose personal mobility ID 301 is “001” and data 320 related to personal mobility whose personal mobility ID 301 is “002”. The history information 302 may be of any amount as long as it can be used by the personal mobility when considering the next action.

(Crew Information Database 253)
FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a configuration of an occupant information database in the information processing system of FIG.

The occupant information database 253 stores a personal mobility ID 402 of the personal mobility on which the occupant is riding, a personal space 403 of the occupant, a priority 404 that the occupant has, and a destination 405 in association with the occupant ID 401 that identifies each occupant. Has been. The priority order 404 is assigned to each occupant without duplication. FIG. 4 shows an example of data 410 relating to an occupant whose occupant ID 401 is “101” and data 420 relating to an occupant whose occupant ID 401 is “102”. The personal space 403 is a numerical value of the re-approach distance with other personal mobility desired by the passenger. In addition to inputting numerically, the occupant can also input using an ambiguous expression or a distance from another personal mobility approaching again at that time. In addition, the setting that the range here is good can be made from here.

<Personal Mobility Control Procedure of Second Embodiment>
Next, personal mobility control with the above configuration will be described. FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a personal mobility control procedure according to the second embodiment. Such a flowchart is executed by the CPU 210.

In step S501, the occupant waits for personal mobility. When the occupant gets in, the process proceeds to step S503, and occupant information including the occupant's personal space is acquired. The acquisition of such occupant information is preferably read from an occupant ID card or ID key carried by the occupant. In step S505, the acquired occupant information is stored in association with each occupant in the occupant information database 253 shown in FIG. In step S507, the situation around the personal mobility is acquired from the various sensors and cameras shown in FIG. In step S509, the current status of other personal mobility is acquired via the communication control unit 230. Distribution of the current status of other personal mobility may be performed via a server, or may be performed by inter-vehicle communication. The current status of the other personal mobility includes the personal space and priority of the occupant as well as the current location and travel route of the other personal mobility. In step S511, the information acquired in steps S507 and S509 is stored in association with each personal mobility. Among these, the present location is accumulated as a movement history.

In step S513, a future travel route of other personal mobility is predicted using the acquired information and history information. In step S515, the movement route of own personal mobility is determined with reference to the predicted movement route of other personal mobility. In determining the travel route of the personal mobility, the travel route is determined so as not to invade each passenger's personal space. Note that steps S513 and S515 are described below as another embodiment as the movement prediction / determination step S500.

In step S517, movement control is executed based on the movement route determined in step S515. In step S519, it is determined whether the occupant has left the personal mobility, and steps S507 to S517 are repeated while the occupant does not leave.

[Third Embodiment]
An information processing system according to the third embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In this embodiment, an example in which each personal mobility is provided with an information processing system will be described. However, a part or the whole of this information processing system may be provided outside personal mobility to centrally manage a plurality of personal mobility. Note that the configuration of the information processing system of the present embodiment is the same as that of the second embodiment, and a description thereof will be omitted. The feature of this embodiment is that, in the movement prediction / determination step S500, the movement route is determined in order from personal mobility on which a passenger with high priority rides. Compared with the procedure of the second embodiment that determines the movement route of each personal mobility while predicting the movement of the entire personal mobility and further considering the personal space, this procedure is relatively easy and can be performed in a short time. The travel route can be determined.

<Move Prediction / Decision Step S500 of Third Embodiment>
FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a control procedure of personal mobility movement prediction / determination step S500 in the information processing system according to the third embodiment. The other steps are the same as in FIG.

In step S601, the priority is set to the highest priority of the occupant. In step S603, the current location of personal mobility on which the occupant having the set priority order rides is acquired from the personal mobility database, and the destination is acquired from the occupant information database. In step S605, the personal mobility travel route on which the occupant having the priority higher than the priority of the currently processed occupant rides, and the personal mobility travel route on which the occupant having the set priority is taken into consideration, in consideration of the personal space. Is generated. In the travel route generation, the travel route and personal space that have already been determined for personal mobility on which a passenger with high priority rides are regarded as obstacles at each time. Assuming the personal space of the set priority occupant as the size of personal mobility, a moving route can be generated using a known solution to the problem of finding the shortest route to reach the destination avoiding obstacles .

In step S607, it is determined whether or not a personal mobility travel route has been generated. A personal mobility movement route of interest may not be generated based on the already generated personal mobility movement route on which a passenger with higher priority rides. When the movement route for personal mobility cannot be generated in this way, the movement prediction / determination step S500 ends, and the personal mobility on which the passenger with the current priority rides waits without moving. If a personal mobility travel route has been generated, the process advances to step S609 to check whether the generated travel route is a travel route for the personal mobility. If it is the travel route of the own personal mobility, the process proceeds to step S611 to control the movement of the generated travel route to the next position. On the other hand, if it is not the travel route of the personal mobility, the process proceeds to step S613, the next priority is set, and the process returns to step S603. Thereafter, the personal mobility travel route is generated while lowering the priority of the passenger until it becomes difficult to generate the travel route in step S607.

[Fourth Embodiment]
An information processing system according to the fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In this embodiment, an example in which each personal mobility is provided with an information processing system will be described. However, a part or the whole of this information processing system may be provided outside the personal mobility to centrally manage a plurality of personal mobility. Note that the configuration of the information processing system of the present embodiment is the same as that of the second embodiment, and a description thereof will be omitted. The feature of the present embodiment is that, in the movement prediction / determination step S500, each personal mobility obtains the shortest route from the current location to the destination, and determines the movement on the movement route in order from the personal mobility on which the passenger with higher priority rides. There is to go. Compared with the third embodiment, in which a predetermined movement route can be determined relatively easily and in a short time, this procedure determines the movement routes for all personal mobility first, so that only the movement control is performed thereafter. The complexity of is eliminated.

<Move Prediction / Determination Step S500 of Fourth Embodiment>
FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a control procedure of personal mobility movement prediction / determination step S500 in the information processing system according to the fourth embodiment. The other steps are the same as in FIG.

In step S701, the shortest route from the current location of the personal mobility to the destination is generated. In the generation of travel routes, it is assumed that the personal space of the occupant riding on the personal mobility is the size of the personal mobility, and if a known solution to the problem of finding the shortest route arriving at the destination avoiding obstacles is used, A route can be generated. In step S <b> 703, the travel route generated by the personal mobility on which the passenger with higher priority than the passenger of the personal mobility rides is acquired via the communication control unit 230. In step S705, considering the acquired travel route, the passenger's personal space, and the personal space of the personal mobility, it is determined whether the personal mobility can move on the travel route generated in step S701.

If the personal mobility can move on the moving route, the process proceeds to step S709, and the moving speed is determined as an option. There are the following examples of determining the moving speed. Judge the possibility of movement of your personal mobility not only at the next time but also at a later time. If there is a high possibility of waiting at the previous time according to the judgment, slow the movement speed and increase the movement speed. If waiting can be avoided at the previous time, the moving speed is increased. In step S711, the personal personal mobility determines the movement on the movement route generated in step S701.

On the other hand, if it is impossible to move on the movement route generated by the personal mobility in step S705, it is predicted in step S713 whether waiting without moving will cause a collision. For example, when traveling in the opposite direction on the same travel route as other personal mobility, the possibility of collision is high. If the possibility of collision is small, the process proceeds to step S715, and waits until it becomes possible to move on the moving route generated by the personal mobility. If it is determined that the possibility of collision is high and collision avoidance is necessary, the process proceeds to step S717 to change the travel route of the personal mobility to another travel route as short as possible. Then, returning to step S703, it is determined again whether the personal mobility can move on the changed moving route.

[Fifth Embodiment]
An information processing system according to the fifth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In the second to fourth embodiments, the example in which each personal mobility includes the information processing system has been described. In the present embodiment, a system in which the entire information processing system is provided outside personal mobility and a mobility management device that centrally manages a plurality of personal mobilityes is shown. According to the processing of this embodiment, all feedback by information exchange between personal mobility is performed within the mobility management device. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the control load of each personal mobility, and it is possible to quickly determine a moving route that does not give priority to passengers as in the second embodiment. Note that the method for determining a movement route in the present embodiment may use the method of the second to fourth embodiments or other known optimal route search problem solution, and the configuration of the information processing system will be described below. The description of the processing procedure is omitted.

<Configuration of Information Processing System of Fifth Embodiment>
FIG. 8 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of an information processing system 800 according to the fifth embodiment. The information processing system 800 is a system for controlling the personal mobility 810 that the passenger 820 can ride. As shown in FIG. 8, the information processing system 800 includes a personal mobility 810 and a mobility management device 850 that centrally manages the movement of a plurality of personal mobility 810 while taking into account the personal space of an occupant riding each personal mobility 810. Is provided. Information transmission and movement control between the movement management device 850 and the personal mobility 810 are performed via the communication control unit 860.

The mobility management device 850 includes an occupant information registration unit 880 that registers occupant information acquired from the personal mobility 810 via the communication control unit 860, and a personal mobility information storage unit 870 that stores personal mobility information. The occupant information registration unit 880 corresponds to the personal mobility database 252 in FIG. 2, and the personal mobility information storage unit 870 corresponds to the occupant information database 253 in FIG.

The movement management device 850 includes a movement control information generation unit 890. The movement control information generation unit 890 uses the map 891 based on the passenger information registered in the passenger information registration unit 880 and the information stored in the personal mobility information storage unit 870. And move direction and speed. The generated momentary movement route or movement direction and movement speed are transmitted to each personal mobility via the communication control unit 860. Each personal mobility controls movement from the transmitted movement route every moment, or moves according to the movement direction and movement speed every moment.

[Other Embodiments]
In the above embodiment, control is performed on the assumption that a virtual shell exists around personal mobility, but a materialized shell may be attached to personal mobility. For example, a physical distance may be secured by attaching an air-type inflatable / shrinkable bumper 901 shown in FIG. In this way, it is possible to keep a distance from other personal mobility that is not automatically traveling.

Furthermore, it is also effective to secure a psychological distance by controlling the light transmittance of the glass portion 902 of personal mobility. By setting the light transmittance according to the passenger's preference using a known liquid crystal technology or the like, the passenger can move without stress. When the vehicle can sit in a direction different from the traveling direction of the vehicle, the vehicle may be controlled so as to block the sight of the occupant.

In addition, the setting value of the personal space may be changed according to the monitoring result of the passenger's facial expression. For example, if the passenger feels stressed, automatic control such as increasing the personal space can be considered. In addition, the setting value of the personal space may be changed according to the results of biological sensing such as buttons, voice, body pulsation, and sweating. In that case, a plurality of minimum distances may be registered for each occupant, and the selection from among them may be changed, or adjustment may be made by simply adjusting the set value of the personal space.

Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the distance in all directions with other personal mobility is controlled so as not to be less than a certain value, but only the distance in the front may be controlled so as not to be less than a certain value. Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, control is performed so that the distance from other personal mobility does not become a certain value or less, but control may be performed so that the distance from other personal mobility does not become a certain value or more. It is possible to deal with cases where it is safe for a passenger of personal mobility to have some other passenger nearby.

As described above, the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail. However, a system or an apparatus in which different features included in each embodiment are combined in any way is also included in the scope of the present invention.

Further, the present invention may be applied to a system composed of a plurality of devices, or may be applied to a single device. Furthermore, the present invention can also be applied to a case where an information processing program that implements the functions of the embodiments is supplied directly or remotely to a system or apparatus. Therefore, in order to realize the functions of the present invention on a computer, a program installed on the computer, a medium storing the program, and a WWW (World Wide Web) server that downloads the program are also included in the scope of the present invention. .
