Information processing apparatus, information processing method, information processing program, and storage medium

An information processing apparatus comprising:

• an acquisition unit that acquires current location information on a moving body, route information representing a planned travel route of the moving body, and an outside image of surroundings of the moving body shot by an image capturing unit disposed in the moving body while the moving body is traveling;
• a transmission unit that performs a transmission process of transmitting the outside image acquired by the acquisition unit and a route image based on the route information acquired by the acquisition unit;
• and
• a voice call unit that performs a voice call process in which a passenger of the moving body and a user of a terminal device perform a voice call simultaneously with the transmission process.

An information processing method executed by an information processing apparatus that moves together with a moving body, the information processing method comprising:

• an acquiring step of acquiring current location information on the moving body and an outside image of surroundings of the moving body shot by an image capturing unit disposed in the moving body while the moving body is traveling;
• a transmitting step of performing a transmission process of transmitting a traveling image to a terminal device, the traveling image including the outside image acquired by the acquiring step and a map image based on the current location information superimposed on the outside image;
• and
• a voice call step of performing a voice call process in which a passenger of the moving body and a user of the terminal device perform a voice call simultaneously with the transmission process.

An information processing program embodied on a non-transitory computer readable medium for causing an information processing apparatus that moves together with a moving body to execute:

• an acquiring step of acquiring current location information on the moving body and an outside image of surroundings of the moving body shot by an image capturing unit disposed in the moving body while the moving body is traveling;
• a transmitting step of performing a transmission process of transmitting a traveling image to a terminal device, the traveling image including the outside image acquired by the acquiring step and a map image based on the current location information superimposed on the outside image;
• and
• a voice call step of performing a voice call process in which a passenger of the moving body and a user of the terminal device perform a voice call simultaneously with the transmission process.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores an information processing program for causing an information processing apparatus that moves together with a moving body to execute:

• an acquiring step of acquiring current location information on the moving body and an outside image of surroundings of the moving body shot by an image capturing unit disposed in the moving body while the moving body is traveling;
• a transmitting step of performing a transmission process of transmitting a traveling image to a terminal device, the traveling image including the outside image acquired by the acquiring step and a map image based on the current location information superimposed on the outside image;
• and
• a voice call step of performing a voice call process in which a passenger of the moving body and a user of the terminal device perform a voice call simultaneously with the transmission process.
