identifying the entertainment site associated with the entertainment ticket; generating an instruction for causing the movable body to move for transporting the user to the identified entertainment site; receiving picture data transmitted from the identified entertainment site; and providing a picture obtained by decoding the picture data to the user on board the movable body. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An information processing apparatus, comprising: a controller that executes: electronically reading an entertainment ticket held by a user; identifying an entertainment site associated with the entertainment ticket; generating an instruction for causing a movable body to transport the user to an/or from the identified entertainment site; receiving picture data transmitted from the identified entertainment site; and providing a picture obtained by decoding the picture data to the user on board the movable body. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the picture data includes a plurality of pictures, on channels, captured by respective cameras installed at different areas in the entertainment site; and the controller identifies an area, in the entertainment site, designated by the entertainment ticket, and extracts a picture on a channel corresponding to the identified area from the picture data. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein when the user returns from the entertainment site, the controller acquires a time from user's leaving a seat to user's getting in the movable body, and provides the picture to the user with a delay of the time. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising: a storage that stores a plurality of addresses of servers that distribute the picture data, wherein the controller connects to a server corresponding to the identified entertainment site. ### Claim 5 An information processing method, comprising: electronically reading, with a controller of an information processing apparatus, an entertainment ticket held by a user; identifying, with the controller of the information processing apparatus, an entertainment site associated with the entertainment ticket; generating, with the controller of the information processing apparatus, an instruction for causing a movable body to transport the user to an/or from the identified entertainment site; receiving, with the controller of the information processing apparatus, picture data transmitted from the identified entertainment site; and providing, with the controller of the information processing apparatus, a picture obtained by decoding the picture data to the user on board the movable body. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The information processing method according to claim 5, wherein the picture data includes a plurality of pictures, on channels, captured by respective cameras installed at different areas in the entertainment site; and the method further comprises identifying an area, in the entertainment site, designated by the entertainment ticket, and extracting a picture on a channel corresponding to the identified area from the picture data. ### Claim 7 (depends on 5) The information processing method according to claim 5, further comprising, when the user returns from the entertainment site, acquiring a time from user's leaving a seat to user's getting in the movable body, and providing the picture to the user with a delay of the time. ### Claim 8 (depends on 5) The information processing method according to claim 5, further comprising: storing, in a storage, a plurality of addresses of servers that distribute the picture data; and causing the controller to connect to a server corresponding to the identified entertainment site. ### Claim 9 A non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with computer-readable instructions that, when executed by a controller of an information processing apparatus, cause the controller to perform an information processing method, comprising: electronically reading an entertainment ticket held by a user; identifying an entertainment site associated with the entertainment ticket; generating an instruction for causing a movable body to transport the user to an/or from the identified entertainment site; receiving picture data transmitted from the identified entertainment site; and providing a picture obtained by decoding the picture data to the user on board the movable body. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 9, wherein the picture data includes a plurality of pictures, on channels, captured by respective cameras installed at different areas in the entertainment site; and the method further comprises identifying an area, in the entertainment site, designated by the entertainment ticket, and extracting a picture on a channel corresponding to the identified area from the picture data. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 9, further comprising, when the user returns from the entertainment site, acquiring a time from user's leaving a seat to user's getting in the movable body, and providing the picture to the user with a delay of the time. ### Claim 12 (depends on 9) The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 9, further comprising: storing, in a storage, a plurality of addresses of servers that distribute the picture data; and causing the controller to connect to a server corresponding to the identified entertainment site.
