A data collection device collects data in a predetermined target area by using a plurality of mobile bodies that is able to move within the target area and acquire data. The data collection device includes: an information acquisition unit that acquires area information regarding the target area; and a mobile body management unit that changes a collection location of the data based on the area information and that dispatches at least one mobile body among the mobile bodies to a specific location in the target area associated with the area information.

Data collection device, data collection method, and data collection system

A server includes a processor configured to: acquire user schedule information indicating an action schedule of a user and other person schedule information indicating an action schedule of another person associated with the user; estimate, based on the user schedule information, a power amount for a moving object that the user is allowed to use, the moving object including a rechargeable secondary battery; and control a charging device to charge the moving object based on the power amount and the other person schedule information.

Server, charging system, and computer readable recording medium

A serverincludes a control unit, and the control unitacquires respective planned use positions of plural users, respective destinations of the plural users, and remaining battery levels of rechargeable batteries of moving bodies which the plural users are scheduled to use, estimates, for each of the moving bodies, a required power amount of the battery based on the planned use position and the destination, determines, for each of the moving bodies, whether the remaining battery level is equal to or greater than the required power amount, and dispatches the moving body whose remaining battery level is equal to or greater than the required power amount to the planned use position.

System for estimating required battery power for moving bodies

A server includes a processor configured to: acquire schedule information on each of a plurality of users; set a charging priority at a time of charging each of a plurality of moving objects based on the schedule information on each of the plurality of users, each of the plurality of moving objects being preliminarily associated with each of the plurality of users, and including a rechargeable secondary battery; and charge each of the plurality of moving objects based on the charging priority.

In an information collecting system, an information collecting device managed by the designated institution sets information acquisition spaces where acquisition of personal information of residents in the region is allowed and information acquisition prohibited spaces where acquisition of personal information of residents is prohibited, the information collecting device transmits space information corresponding to spaces in which information acquisition terminals are located, for information acquisition terminals which are located in information acquisition spaces and information acquisition prohibited spaces and which allow acquisition of personal information of residents, and the information acquisition terminal determines that personal information acquired by an information acquisition terminal is not to be transmitted to an information collecting device when the information acquisition terminal is located in an information acquisition prohibited space, based on the received space information.

Information collecting system and information collecting method

A server includes a processor configured to: acquire a starting position where a user starts to use a moving object including a rechargeable secondary battery, and a destination of the user; estimate a power amount for the moving object to move from the starting position to the destination; determine whether or not power of the secondary battery is consumed at the destination; increase the power amount when the power of the secondary battery is consumed at the destination; and charge the moving object to the power amount.

A server includes a processor to acquire a current position of a moving body used by a user, a remaining battery level of a rechargeable battery of the moving body used by the user, and a first destination of the user, and in a case where a new second destination different from the first destination is input, set, for the moving body, a charging travelling route passing a charging path capable of charging the battery on a way from the current position to the second destination based on the remaining battery level.

Determining charging traveling route for battery-powered moving body

A server includes a processor configured to: acquire a starting time representing a time when a user starts to use a moving object including a rechargeable secondary battery; estimate a charging completion time by which a required amount of power is charged to the moving object; determine whether or not charging of the moving object is completed by the starting time based on the starting time and the charging completion time; and switch a charging mode of charging the moving object performed by a charging device from a usual charging mode to a rapid charging mode in a case where the charging of the moving object is not completed by the starting time.

A server includes a processor configured to acquire a user's destination, estimate a user's staying time at the destination based on the destination, determine whether to move a moving body used by the user based on the staying time, and control driving of the moving body.
