Processing device, communication device, communication system, control circuit, storage medium, and information sharing method

A communication device operated by a same first telecommunications company as a processing device connected to a base station capable of communicating with a vehicle in a service area, the communication device being capable of communicating with the processing device, the communication device comprising:

• transfer determination circuitry to determine to transfer a first request to another communication device operated by a second telecommunications company, the first request being a request sent from the processing device and including location information and a range from the location information specifying a region in which information sharing is requested, and an identifier from which a demander that requests the information sharing is identifiable;
• request analysis circuitry to analyze a second request that is an information sharing demand from a processing device operated by the second telecommunications company, and determine whether a region specified by the second request is included in a service area of the first telecommunications company;
• and
• response determination circuitry to generate a response to the second request.

A control circuit for controlling a processing device connected to a base station capable of communicating with a vehicle in a service area, the control circuit causing the processing device to execute:

• generating a first request that is a request including location information and a range from the location information specifying a region in which information sharing is requested, and an identifier from which a demander that requests the information sharing is identifiable;
• holding a second request that is a request based on an information sharing demand from another processing device in a case where shared information regarding the region is sendable in response to the second request;
• and
• generating the shared information in a case where location information indicating a point of occurrence of a cognitive event acquired from the vehicle via the base station is included in a region specified by the second request, the shared information including the cognitive event and an identifier held.

• analyzing a second request that is an information sharing demand from another processing device operated by the second telecommunications company, and determining whether a region specified by the second request is included in a service area of the first telecommunications company;
• and
• generating a response to the second request on the basis of an analysis result.

A non-transitory storage medium storing a program for controlling a processing device connected to a base station capable of communicating with a vehicle in a service area, the program causing the processing device to execute:

• generating a first request that is a request including location information and a range from the location information specifying a region in which information sharing is requested, and an identifier from which a demander that requests the information sharing is identifiable;
• holding a second request that is a request based on an information sharing demand from another processing device in a case where shared information regarding the region is sendable in response to the second request;

An information sharing method for a processing device connected to a base station capable of communicating with a vehicle in a service area, the information sharing method comprising:

• a request generation, by request generation circuitry, of generating a first request that is a request including location information and a range from the location information specifying a region in which information sharing is requested, and an identifier from which a demander that requests the information sharing is identifiable;
• an accepted request holding, by accepted request holding circuitry, of holding a second request that is a request based on an information sharing demand from another processing device in a case where shared information regarding the region is sendable in response to the second request;
• and
• a request inquiry, by request inquiry circuitry, of generating the shared information in a case where location information indicating a point of occurrence of a cognitive event acquired from the vehicle via the base station is included in a region specified by the second request, the shared information including the cognitive event and an identifier held in the accepted request holding circuitry.

An information sharing method for a communication device operated by a same first telecommunications company as a processing device connected to a base station capable of communicating with a vehicle in a service area, the communication device being capable of communicating with the processing device, the information sharing method comprising:

• a transfer determination, by transfer determination circuitry, of determining to transfer a first request to another communication device operated by a second telecommunications company, the first request being a request sent from the processing device and including location information and a range from the location information specifying a region in which information sharing is requested, and an identifier from which a demander that requests the information sharing is identifiable;
• a request analysis, by request analysis circuitry, of analyzing a second request that is an information sharing demand from another processing device operated by the second telecommunications company, and determining whether a region specified by the second request is included in a service area of the first telecommunications company;
• and
• a response determination, by response determination circuitry, of generating a response to the second request on the basis of an analysis result of the request analysis circuitry.
