Abstract
A server includes a processor configured to acquire a user's destination, estimate a user's staying time at the destination based on the destination, determine whether to move a moving body used by the user based on the staying time, and control driving of the moving body.
Claims14
A server comprising a processor configured to:
- acquire a user's destination;
- estimate a user's staying time at the destination based on the destination;
- and
- determine whether to move a moving body used by the user based on the staying time, after the moving body arrives at the destination by:
- determining whether the staying time is within a predetermined time;
- when the staying time is within the predetermined time, make the moving body wait at the destination after the moving body arrives at the destination;
- and
- when the staying time is not within the predetermined time,
- determine whether power of a rechargeable battery of the moving body is insufficient based on a remaining battery level and the required power, and
- determine whether the moving body is chargeable to the required power at the charging place within the staying time when the power of the rechargeable battery is insufficient, and
- control driving of the moving body by
- moving the moving body to a charging place to charge the rechargeable battery when the moving body is chargeable to the required power at the charging place within the staying time, and
- moving the moving body to the destination within the staying time and making the moving body wait at the destination.

A mobile system comprising:
- a moving body having a rechargeable secondary battery;
- and
- a server having a processor configured to:
- acquire a user's destination;
- estimate a user's staying time at the destination based on the destination;
- determine whether to move the moving body based on the staying time, after the moving body arrives at the destination by:
- determining whether the staying time is within a predetermined time;
- when the staying time is within the predetermined time, make the moving body wait at the destination after the moving body arrives at the destination;
- and
- when the staying time is not within the predetermined time,
- determine whether power of the rechargeable secondary battery is insufficient based on a remaining battery level and the required power, and
- determine whether the moving body is chargeable to the required power at the charging place within the staying time when the power of the rechargeable secondary battery is insufficient, and
- control driving of the moving body by
- moving the moving body to a charging place to charge the rechargeable secondary battery when the moving body is chargeable to the required power at the charging place within the staying time, and
- moving the moving body to the destination within the staying time and make the moving body wait at the destination.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a program for causing a processor to:
- acquire a user's destination;
- estimate a user's staying time at the destination based on the destination;
- determine whether to move a moving body used by the user based on the staying time, after the moving body arrives at the destination by:
- determining whether the staying time is within a predetermined time;
- when the staying time is within the predetermined time, make the moving body wait at the destination after the moving body arrives at the destination;
- and
- when the staying time is not within the predetermined time,
- determine whether power of a rechargeable battery of the moving body is insufficient based on the remaining battery level and the required power, and
- determine whether the moving body is chargeable to the required power at the charging place within the staying time when the power of the rechargeable battery is insufficient, and
- control driving of the moving body by
- moving the moving body to a charging place to charge the rechargeable battery when the moving body is chargeable to the required power at the charging place within the staying time, and
- move the moving body to the destination within the staying time and make the moving body wait at the destination.
