An information processing device includes a processor that: acquires history information indicating a history, about a first product, of storage in a repository or removal from the repository, the storage or the removal being detected by a sensor provided at the repository; acquires first information indicating a consumption pattern, for the first product, of a user associated with the repository, the first information being acquired based on the history information; and performs a process related to delivery of the first product to the user based on the first information.

Information processing device, information processing system, and information processing method

An information processing apparatus disclosed has a controller configured to execute the processing of accepting a request for retrieving a target vehicle body unit that is laid at a specific place, selecting a chassis unit for retrieval from among chassis units in the state separated from any vehicle body unit, the chassis unit for retrieval being a chassis unit to be used to retrieve the target vehicle body unit, and sending a retrieval command to the chassis unit for retrieval, the retrieval command being a command to retrieve the target vehicle body unit.

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

An information processing apparatus disclosed has a controller configured to execute the processing of, when a first vehicle body unit on which a first vending machine is mounted is laid at a specific place, determining a time for maintenance defined as a time to perform maintenance of the first vending machine, and sending a replacement command to a chassis unit that is configured in such a way as to be capable of travelling autonomously and being coupled to and separated from a vehicle body unit, as per the time for maintenance. The replacement command is a command to transport a second vehicle body unit on which a second vending machine is mounted to the specific place and retrieve the first vehicle body unit from the specific place.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and vehicle

A vehicle control device includes: a speech acquiring section that acquires speech data related to a speech of a speaker; a state acquiring section that acquires information indicating whether or not a driver attempting to start driving a vehicle is in an intoxicated state based on the speech data; and a control section configured to limit a start operation of the vehicle in a case in which the information indicates that the driver is in the intoxicated state, the start operation being an operation performed by the driver with respect to the vehicle to start driving the vehicle.

Vehicle control device, vehicle control method, and non-transitory computer readable medium storing vehicle control program

The present disclosure provides a technique that enables customization of a vehicle. In an information processing apparatus, a controller presents vehicle units extracted from among a plurality of types of under units each of which is provided with a driving mechanism configured to cause wheels to rotate and a plurality of types of upper units to be loaded on any of the under units to a user, the vehicle units being combinable as a vehicle. Furthermore, the controller executes: accepting selection by a user from among the presented vehicle units; and calculating a fee in the case of providing the selected vehicle units.

Information processing apparatus, information processing system and information processing method

A vehicle sound output device including: an acquiring section configured to acquire wakefulness level information that indicates a degree of a wakefulness state of a driver of a vehicle; and a control section configured to, in a case in which the degree of the wakefulness state indicates a decreased level of wakefulness, control a sound output section to output a sound based on at least one of a predetermined frequency, a predetermined tone, or a predetermined content that stimulates a sympathetic nerve of the driver.

Vehicle sound output device, sound output control method, and non-transitory computer readable medium storing sound output control program

A communication system includes a pair of speech recognition devices that are capable of communicating with each other, each of the speech recognition devices including a speech input section into which speech is input, a speech recognition section that recognizes speech input to the speech input section, and a speech output section that outputs speech. The communication system also includes an information generation section that generates notification information corresponding to speech recognized by the speech recognition section in one speech recognition device from out of the pair of speech recognition devices, and a speech output control section that performs control to output notification speech corresponding to the notification information at a specific timing from the speech output section of the other speech recognition device from out of the pair of speech recognition devices.

Communication system, communication method, and computer-readable storage medium

Each of plural dialogue devices generates proposition information that is an utterance indicating a proposition for passengers who are on board plural vehicles, based on an utterance submitted by a passenger and current destination information and past destination information. The dialogue device transmits the generated proposition information to other dialogue device.

Voice output system, voice output method, and program storage medium

A speech interaction device includes an ascertaining section and a control section. The ascertaining section ascertains a direction of a speech utterer by audio emitted by the speech utterer. The control section controls directionality of audio output through a speaker when outputting audio toward the speech utterer, such that directionality of audio in the direction ascertained by the ascertaining section is higher than directionality of audio in other directions.

Speech interaction device

A sound outputting device includes: a receiving section that receives driving information that supports driving of a moving body; a sound outputting section that outputs at least one of a musical piece currently playing or a voice that gives notice of the driving information; and an outputting section that, during playing of the musical piece, causes the sound outputting section to output the voice that gives notice of the driving information received by the receiving section so as to match at least one of a pitch or a tune of the musical piece that is currently playing.

Sound outputting device, sound outputting method, and sound outputting program storage medium

A server for controlling an output of a sound from a sound output device provided in a room of a destination of a moving user, the server including: an information acquiring section configured to acquire position information indicating a position of the user, the destination, and route information indicating a route of the user to the destination; and a control section configured to, in a case in which the user reaches a position within a predetermined range from the destination, control the sound output device to start the output of a sound that simulates a situation in which a person is present in the room based on the position of the user indicated by the position information and the route of the user indicated by the route information.
