Operation of Information Processing System

Operation of the information processing system 1 illustrated in FIG. 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2, 3, etc.


When the vehicle 30 before delivery purchased by the user is transported, the control unit 15 of the information processing device 10 acquires a travel video capturing a scene outside the vehicle 30 before delivery when the vehicle 30 is transported.


When the vehicle 30 is traveling autonomously to be transported, the scene outside the vehicle 30 before delivery being transported may be a travel video captured by an imaging device mounted on the vehicle 30. The imaging device mounted on the vehicle 30 may be a drive recorder, for example.


The travel video may be a movie, or may be a time-lapse video prepared using a plurality of still images captured sequentially.


When a travel video is captured while the vehicle 30 is transported, the vehicle 30 transmits the captured travel video to the information processing device 10. The vehicle 30 may transmit identification information for identifying the vehicle 30, position information on the vehicle 30, and vehicle information on the vehicle 30 together with the travel video. The vehicle information on the vehicle 30 may include information such as the travel speed of the vehicle 30, for example.


The control unit 15 of the information processing device 10 acquires the travel video transmitted by the vehicle 30 being transported via the communication unit 11. The control unit 15 may also acquire the identification information on the vehicle 30, the position information on the vehicle 30, and the vehicle information on the vehicle 30, transmitted by the vehicle 30 being transported, via the communication unit 11.


The control unit 15 may determine whether the vehicle 30 is traveling autonomously to be transported, based on the vehicle information on the vehicle 30. For example, the control unit 15 may determine that the vehicle 30 is traveling autonomously to be transported when the travel speed of the vehicle 30 included in the vehicle information on the vehicle 30 is equal to or more than a predetermined speed.


When the identification information on the vehicle 30 is acquired from the vehicle 30 being transported, the control unit 15 specifies the user that has purchased the vehicle 30 and the terminal device 20 owned by the user. Data in which the identification information on the vehicle 30, information on the user that has purchased the vehicle 30, and the terminal device 20 owned by the user are associated with each other may be stored in the storage unit 12. When the identification information on the vehicle 30 is acquired, the control unit 15 specifies the user that has purchased the vehicle 30 and the terminal device 20 owned by the user with reference to the data stored in the storage unit 12.


When the user that has purchased the vehicle 30 being transported is specified, the control unit 15 transmits the travel video acquired from the vehicle 30 to the terminal device 20 of the user via the communication unit 11. When the vehicle 30 is traveling autonomously to be transported, the travel video transmitted to the terminal device 20 by the control unit 15 is a travel video captured by the imaging device mounted on the vehicle 30.


The control unit 25 of the terminal device 20 acquires the travel video transmitted by the control unit 15 of the information processing device 10 via the communication unit 21.


The control unit 25 causes the output unit 24 to display the acquired travel video. This allows the user that has purchased the vehicle 30 to view the travel video capturing a scene outside the vehicle 30 before delivery when the vehicle 30 is transported. Consequently, the information processing device 10 can increase the expectation of the user, waiting for the delivery of the vehicle 30 that has been purchased, about the delivery of the vehicle 30.


The control unit 15 of the information processing device 10 may transmit a travel video to the terminal device 20 when the delivery schedule of the vehicle 30 is delayed. This allows the user that has purchased the vehicle 30 to wait with the expectation about the delivery increased by watching the travel video of a scene outside the vehicle 30 before delivery when the vehicle 30 is transported, while the delivery schedule of the vehicle 30 is delayed.


Alternatively, the control unit 15 may transmit a travel video to the terminal device 20 when a request to transmit a travel video is acquired from the terminal device 20. This makes it possible to transmit a travel video of a scene outside the vehicle 30 before delivery being transported to the terminal device 20 at the timing when the user that has purchased the vehicle 30 desires to see a travel video.


Alternatively, the control unit 15 may regularly transmit a travel video to the terminal device 20. The control unit 15 may regularly transmit a travel video to the terminal device 20 at a frequency of once an hour, for example. This allows the user that has purchased the vehicle 30 to regularly view a travel video of a scene outside the vehicle 30 before delivery being transported.


The user that has purchases the vehicle 30 may designate in advance an area through which the user desires the vehicle 30 before delivery to pass. For example, the user may designate such a desirable area by operating the input unit 23 of the terminal device 20.


When the input unit 23 receives an input of the desirable area, the control unit 25 transmits information on the desirable area to the information processing device 10 via the communication unit 21.


The control unit 15 of the information processing device 10 acquires the information on the desirable area transmitted by the terminal device 20 via the communication unit 11. The control unit 15 stores the information on the desirable area in the storage unit 12.


When it is determined that the travel video acquired from the vehicle 30 is a travel video captured when passing through the area designated in advance by the user, the control unit 15 transmits the travel video captured when passing through the designated area to the terminal device 20 via the communication unit 11. The control unit 15 may determine whether the travel video acquired from the vehicle 30 is a travel video captured when passing through the area designated in advance by the user based on the position information on the vehicle 30 acquired from the vehicle 30.


This allows the user that has purchased the vehicle 30 to view the travel video captured when the vehicle being transported passes through the area designated in advance.


Travel in Tandem


FIG. 4 illustrates how the vehicle 30 purchased by the user is transported while traveling autonomously in tandem with other vehicles 30. While FIG. 4 illustrates three vehicles 30-1 to 30-3 traveling in tandem with each other, this is exemplary. Any number of vehicles 30, the number being two or more, may travel in tandem with each other.


Hereinafter, it is assumed that the vehicle 30 purchased by the user is the vehicle 30-3 traveling at the tail end. It is also assumed that the vehicle 30-1 traveling at the leading end and the vehicle 30-2 traveling in the second place are the other vehicles 30 being transported while traveling in tandem with the vehicle 30 purchased by the user.


The vehicles 30-1 to 30-3 each capture a travel video while being transported. The vehicles 30-1 to 30-3 each transmit the captured travel video to the information processing device 10. The vehicles 30-1 to 30-3 may each capture a travel video using an imaging device mounted on the vehicles 30-1 to 30-3. The imaging device mounted on the vehicles 30-1 to 30-3 may be a drive recorder, for example. The vehicles 30-1 to 30-3 also transmit identification information for identifying the vehicles 30-1 to 30-3, position information on the vehicles 30-1 to 30-3, and vehicle information on the vehicles 30-1 to 30-3 together with the travel video.


The control unit 15 of the information processing device 10 acquires the travel video transmitted by each of the vehicles 30-1 to 30-3 via the communication unit 11. The control unit 15 also acquires the identification information on the vehicles 30-1 to 30-3, the position information on the vehicles 30-1 to 30-3, and the vehicle information on the vehicles 30-1 to 30-3, transmitted by each of the vehicles 30-1 to 30-3, via the communication unit 11.


When it is determined based on the position information on the vehicles 30-1 to 30-3 that the vehicles 30-1 to 30-3 are traveling in close proximity to each other, the control unit 15 may determine that the vehicle 30-3 purchased by the user is transported while traveling in tandem with the other vehicles 30-1 and 30-2.


When the vehicle 30-3 purchased by the user is transported while traveling autonomously in tandem with the other vehicles 30-1 and 30-2, the control unit 15 may transmit a travel video of the highest quality, among the travel video captured by the imaging device mounted on the vehicle 30-3 purchased by the user and the travel video captured by the imaging device mounted on each of the other vehicles 30-1 and 30-2, to the terminal device 20 via the communication unit 11.


The control unit 15 may transmit the travel video captured by the imaging device mounted on the vehicle 30-1 traveling at the leading end, among the travel video captured by the imaging device mounted on the vehicle 30-3 purchased by the user and the travel videos captured by the imaging devices mounted on the other vehicles 30-1 and 30-2, as the travel video of the highest quality to the terminal device 20, for example.


The control unit 15 may determine that the vehicle 30-1 is traveling at the leading end, based on the position information on the vehicles 30-1 to 30-3.


In this manner, by the control unit 15 transmitting the travel video of the highest quality to the terminal device 20, the user that has purchased the vehicle 30 can view the travel video of the highest quality when the vehicle 30-3 before delivery is transported while traveling in tandem with the other vehicles 30-1 and 30-2.


Travel while Being Mounted on Carrier Car


FIG. 5 illustrates how the vehicle 30 purchased by the user is transported while being mounted on a carrier car 50.


The vehicle 30 and the carrier car 50 each capture a travel video when the vehicle 30 is transported. The vehicle 30 and the carrier car 50 each transmit the captured travel video to the information processing device 10. The carrier car 50 may capture a travel video using an imaging device mounted on the carrier car 50. The imaging device mounted on the carrier car 50 may be a drive recorder, for example. The vehicle 30 also transmits identification information for identifying the vehicle 30, position information on the vehicle 30, and vehicle information on the vehicle 30 together with the travel video. The carrier car 50 also transmits identification information for identifying the carrier car 50, position information on the carrier car 50, and vehicle information on the carrier car 50 together with the travel video.


The control unit 15 of the information processing device 10 acquires the travel videos transmitted by the vehicle 30 and the carrier car 50 via the communication unit 11. The control unit 15 also acquires the identification information on the vehicle 30, the position information on the vehicle 30, and the vehicle information on the vehicle 30 transmitted by the vehicle 30 via the communication unit 11. The control unit 15 also acquires the identification information on the carrier car 50, the position information on the carrier car 50, and the vehicle information on the carrier car 50 transmitted by the carrier car 50 via the communication unit 11.


The control unit 15 may determine that the vehicle 30 is transported as being mounted on the carrier car 50 based on the position information on the vehicle 30 and the carrier car 50 and the vehicle information on the vehicle 30. The control unit 15 may determine that the vehicle 30 is transported as being mounted on the carrier car 50 when the vehicle 30 and the carrier car 50 are at the same position and the travel speed of the vehicle 30 is zero, for example.


When the vehicle 30 purchased by the user is transported as being mounted on the carrier car 50, the control unit 15 transmits the travel video captured by the imaging device mounted on the carrier car 50 to the terminal device 20 via the communication unit 11.


In this manner, by the control unit 15 transmitting the travel video captured by the imaging device mounted on the carrier car 50 to the terminal device 20, the user that has purchased the vehicle 30 can view the travel video captured by the imaging device mounted on the carrier car 50, providing a better view than the travel video captured by the imaging device mounted on the vehicle 30, when the vehicle 30 before delivery is transported as being mounted on the carrier car 50.


Operation of the information processing device 10 will be described with reference to the flowchart illustrated in FIG. 6.


Step S101: The control unit 15 of the information processing device 10 acquires a travel video capturing a scene outside the vehicle 30 before delivery when the vehicle 30 is transported.


Step S102: The control unit 15 acquires identification information on the vehicle 30 being transported from the vehicle 30.


Step S103: When identification information on the vehicle 30 being transported is acquired from the vehicle 30, the control unit 15 specifies a user that has purchased the vehicle 30 and the terminal device 20 owned by the user.


Step S104: When a user that has purchased the vehicle 30 being transported is specified, the control unit 15 transmits a travel video capturing a scene outside the vehicle 30 before delivery when the vehicle 30 is transported to the terminal device 20 of the user.


In the information processing device 10 according to the present embodiment, as discussed above, the control unit 15 acquires a travel video capturing a scene outside the vehicle 30 before delivery when the vehicle 30 is transported, and transmits the acquired travel video to the terminal device 20 of a user that has purchased the vehicle 30. This allows the user that has purchased the vehicle 30 to view a scene outside the vehicle 30 before delivery being transported. Thus, the information processing device 10 according to the present embodiment can increase the expectation of a user that has purchased a vehicle about the delivery of the vehicle while the user is waiting for the delivery of the vehicle.


The present disclosure is not limited to the embodiment discussed above. For example, a plurality of blocks illustrated in the block diagram may be integrated with each other, or a single block may be divided. A plurality of steps indicated in the flowchart may be executed in parallel, or in a different order, in accordance with the processing capability of the device that executes the steps, or as necessary, rather than being executed chronologically in accordance with the description. Other modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure.


For example, a part of the processing operation executed by the information processing device 10 in the embodiment discussed above may be executed by the terminal device 20. Meanwhile, a part of the processing operation executed by the terminal device 20 in the embodiment discussed above may be executed by the information processing device 10.


A general-purpose electronic device such as a smartphone or a computer may be configured to function as the information processing device 10 according to the embodiment discussed above, for example.
