Abstract
An information processing apparatus mounted on a vehicle is provided with a control unit configured to acquire information indicating an item that a user desires to check for a product, acquire manufacturing data of a sample of the product capable of checking the item desired to be checked by using the acquired information, and output the manufacturing data to a sample manufacturing apparatus in the vehicle.
Claims8
A system, comprising:
- an information processing apparatus mounted on a vehicle;
- and
- a manufacturing apparatus mounting on the vehicle, wherein
- the information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to:
- acquire information indicating an item that a user desires to check for a product, the item including a size of the product;
- determine that a sample pattern, from among a plurality of sample patterns relating to the product each having a different manufacturing time, has a completion time for manufacturing, predicted from the manufacturing time, that is earlier than an arrival time from when the vehicle travels to and arrives at a place where a sample is provided or a designated time specified by the user, the plurality of sample patterns relating to the product including a first sample pattern for manufacturing a sample having a same size as the size of the product and a same weight as a weight of the product and a second sample pattern for manufacturing a sample having the same size as the size of the product and a weight different from the weight of the product;
- extract the sample pattern based upon the item desired to be checked and the determination that the sample pattern has the completion time earlier than the arrival time or the designated time;
- acquire manufacturing data of a sample of the product with which the item desired to be checked is checkable corresponding to the extracted sample pattern, the manufacturing data of the sample including data for manufacturing the sample of the product to have the same size as the size of the product and to have the weight different from the weight of the product;
- and
- output the manufacturing data of the sample to the manufacturing apparatus,
- the manufacturing apparatus is configured to:
- receive the manufacturing data of the sample from the information processing apparatus;
- and
- manufacture the sample based upon the manufacturing data of the sample, and
- a manufacturing time of the second sample pattern is shorter than a manufacturing time of the first sample pattern.

- acquiring manufacturing data of a sample of the product with which the item desired to be checked is checkable corresponding to the extracted sample pattern, the manufacturing data of the sample including data for manufacturing the sample of the product to have the same size as the size of the product and to have the weight different from the weight of the product;
- outputting the manufacturing data of the sample to a manufacturing apparatus mounted in the vehicle;
- receiving, by the manufacturing apparatus, the manufacturing data of the sample;
- and
- manufacturing, by the manufacturing apparatus, the sample based upon the manufacturing data of the sample,
- wherein a manufacturing time of the second sample pattern is shorter than a manufacturing time of the first sample pattern.
