A communication apparatus according to the present disclosure is a communication apparatus included in a first vehicle, the communication apparatus including a communication interface and a controller. The communication interface communicates with a server. The controller detects a second vehicle located in a vicinity of the first vehicle. The controller generates positional information for the second vehicle based on a position of the first vehicle when the second vehicle is detected. The controller transmits the positional information for the second vehicle to the server via the communication interface, when the communication interface can communicate with the server. The controller stores the positional information for the second vehicle as unsent information for the first vehicle, when the communication interface cannot communicate with the server, and transmits the unsent information for the first vehicle to the server via the communication interface, when the communication interface becomes able to communicate with the server.

Communication apparatus, vehicle, information processing system, non-transitory computer readable medium, and server

In an information providing device for providing information about a moving object which is used by a user by making an application for use thereof, the device includes a controller comprising at least one processor configured to execute: receiving a start and an end of the use of the moving object by the user through communication with a user device which is correlated with the user; and displaying information indicating that the moving object is available on a display unit which is provided by the moving object and which can be visually recognized from the outside of the moving object, in cases where the moving object is not being used.

Information providing device, information providing method, and non-transitory storage medium

A moving object includes: a holder configured to hold a mobile terminal provided with an image pick-up unit; and a controller comprising at least one processor configured to execute enabling the moving object to be used in cases where user authentication is succeeded by carrying out user authentication between the mobile terminal and the controller, instructing the mobile terminal to pick up an image in a repeated manner by using the image pick-up unit during use of the moving object, and transmitting the image obtained from the mobile terminal to an external server.

Moving object, control method, and non-transitory storage medium

An information processing apparatus is provided with a controller including at least one processor. The controller is configured to execute obtaining a consent to advertisement viewing from a user using a transportation system, presenting an advertisement within a period of time during which the user is using the transportation system, and providing a monetary merit to the user.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and non-transitory storage medium

An information processing apparatus is provided with a controller comprising at least one processor. The controller is configured to execute: displaying presentation information to be presented to a user of a vehicle at an inside or an outside of a window formed in a vehicle; switching over between displaying and non-displaying of the presentation information displayed at the inside of the window according to an instruction received from the user; and displaying the presentation information at the outside of the window in cases where the vehicle is located in a specific place.
