An information processing apparatus capable of communicating with a vehicle includes a control unit and a communication unit. The control unit is configured to acquire, from the vehicle via the communication unit, vehicle information including at least one of open-close information of a door of the vehicle and location information of the vehicle, and determine a personality of a driver of the vehicle based on the vehicle information.

Information processing apparatus, program, and information processing method

An information processing apparatus communicable with a vehicle includes a controller. The controller is configured to store behavior information of a user in the vehicle in association with a date and time, acquire an image via an imaging unit of the vehicle when a difference between behavior information at a specific time and behavior information at a time later than the specific time is detected, an store the image in association with the date and time and the behavior information.

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

An image projection device which is mounted on a vehicle or worn by a driver of the vehicle includes a control unit and a projection unit. The control unit accepts a selection for specifying a particular user, detects a current location, acquires an image showing at least a part of an appearance of the particular user, which is captured when the particular user has previously driven a particular user's vehicle at a location which is the same as or near to the current location, and projects the image onto a driver's seat of the vehicle by the projection unit.

Image projection device, medium, and image projection method

An information processing system comprises a sensor configured to sense a first posture that a user is taking; a storage configured to store posture data about a posture of a person; and a controller configured to create advice for the user regarding a negative influence on a body of the user, based on sensor data acquired from the sensor and the posture data.

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

An information processing apparatus controls a road surface marking apparatus configured to form any road surface marking by changing light emission patterns of a plurality of light emitters provided on a road surface. In the information processing apparatus, a control unit detects, when switching from a second traffic lane through which a pedestrian is allowed to pass to a first traffic lane through which a pedestrian is prohibited from passing is executed, a user who is a pedestrian remaining in the first traffic lane after the switching. Then, the control unit causes the road surface marking apparatus to form an urging marking used for urging the user to withdraw from the first traffic lane after the switching.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and road surface marking system

An information processing apparatus includes a controller. The controller is configured to execute operations including: identifying a user; acquiring attribute information for the user, the attribute information being stored in association with the user; estimating, from the attribute information, a power consumption amount for an environment preferred by the user; determining whether the power consumption amount is equal to or greater than a predetermined value; upon determining that the power consumption amount is equal to or greater than the predetermined value, guiding the user to a first space; and upon determining that the power consumption amount is less than the predetermined value, guiding the user to a second space, wherein a power consumption amount for the first space is greater than a power consumption amount for the second space.

Information processing apparatus, non-transitory computer readable medium, and information processing method

An information processing device includes a processor. The processor is configured to decide a deletion deadline of a second environment based on a predetermined condition relating to an application having a first environment that is a production environment and the second environment that is a staging environment, and delete the second environment when the decided deletion deadline arrives.

Determining a deletion deadline for a staging environment

A delivery system includes a vehicle and a management server configured to communicate with the vehicle. The vehicle is configured to perform unmanned driving and used to deliver a baggage to a designated delivery destination. When an arrival time of a user, who moves to the delivery destination without riding on the vehicle, to the delivery destination is set, the management server is configured to transmit, to the vehicle, an instruction for moving the vehicle in accordance with a delivery route searched to allow the vehicle to reach the delivery destination at the set arrival time. The vehicle moves to the delivery destination in accordance with the instruction.

Delivery system, server, movable body, and baggage delivery method

Each vehicle includes a detection device configured to detect a situation outside the vehicle. When a server receives from a depleted EV a help signal requesting power supply from another vehicle to the depleted EV, the server selects, from among the other vehicles, a rescue EV to supply electric power to the depleted EV. The rescue EV moves to the depleted EV, stops behind the depleted EV detected by the detection device, and supplies power to the depleted EV while being stopped behind the depleted EV.

Movable body rescue system and movable body rescue method

Each vehicle includes a detection device configured to detect a situation outside the vehicle. When a server receives from a depleted EV a help signal requesting power supply from another vehicle to the depleted EV, the server selects, from among the other vehicles, a rescue EV to supply electric power to the depleted EV. The rescue EV moves to the depleted EV, determines a stopping position of the rescue EV from a situation around the depleted EV detected by the detection device, and performs power supply to the depleted EV at the stopping position.

A depleted EV transmits first information including a current location of the depleted EV to a server. Each of the other vehicles transmits second information including a current location of the vehicle to the server. When the server receives from the depleted EV a help signal requesting power supply from another vehicle to the depleted EV, the server selects, from among the other vehicles, a rescue EV to supply electric power to the depleted EV, using the first information and the second information.

Movable body rescue system, server, and movable body rescue method

A movable body utilization system includes: a vehicle configured to perform automated driving; and a server configured to communicate with the vehicle. The server selects the vehicle conforming to a demand of a user who is not an owner of the vehicle when the server receives a utilization application for utilizing the vehicle for a predetermined purpose by the user, the demand including the vehicle utilizable for the predetermined purpose and a utilization fee of the vehicle. Then, the server transmits, to the selected vehicle, an instruction for allowing the user to utilize the vehicle. In accordance with the instruction, the vehicle is configured to move to the user who has made the utilization application.

Movable body utilization system, server, and method for utilizing movable body

A vehicle is a movable body capable of traveling in a driver-operated mode and traveling in a driverless mode, and includes an advertisement display device and a controller. The advertisement display device is configured to switch between a first state to provide an advertisement outside of the vehicle and a second state to provide no advertisement outside of the vehicle. The controller is configured to control the advertisement display device to enter the first state during traveling in the driverless mode.
