Information processing method, information processing device, and non-transitory computer readable recording medium storing information processing program

An information processing method comprising, by a computer:

• acquiring a waiting place of a passenger, a destination place of the passenger, and environmental information indicating environment of the waiting place;
• calculating an environmental nonconformity value indicating an index of a discomfort level of environment at the waiting place for the passenger based on the environmental information of the waiting place, the environmental nonconformity value increasing as the discomfort level increases;
• acquiring information of at least one recommended waiting place within a predetermined distance from the waiting place;
• acquiring environmental information of the at least one recommended waiting place;
• calculating an environmental nonconformity value of the at least one recommended waiting place based on the environmental information of the at least one recommended waiting place;
• calculating at least one environmental nonconformity improvement value improved by moving from the waiting place to the at least one recommended waiting place based on the environmental nonconformity value of the waiting place, the environmental nonconformity value of the at least one recommended waiting place, and a moving time from the waiting place to the at least one recommended waiting place;
• specifying a recommended waiting place corresponding to an environmental nonconformity improvement value that is equal to or more than a threshold and is maximum among environmental nonconformity improvement values;
• transmitting presentation information for prompting the passenger to move to the specified recommended waiting place;
• creating the transportation route to minimize a sum of the waiting time of the passenger at the specified recommended waiting place, the waiting time being multiplied by the environmental nonconformity value of the specified recommended waiting place, and a moving time of the passenger to move from the specified recommended waiting place at which the passenger rides on the mobile body to the destination place, when response information indicating acceptance of the movement to the specified recommended waiting place is received in response to the presentation information, wherein the transportation route comprises a route from the specified recommended waiting place to the destination place, the route being generated by a server to account for the moving time, the waiting time, and environmental conditions at the specified recommended waiting place;
• outputting information indicating the transportation route;
• and
• controlling the mobile body to follow the transportation route calculated by the server, wherein the server transmits information indicating the transportation route to the mobile body, and the mobile body moves according to the received transportation route.

An information processing device comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory operatively connected to the processor, the memory storing computer readable instructions, when executed, cause the processor to:
• acquire a waiting place of a passenger, a destination place of the passenger, and environmental information indicating environment of the waiting place;
• calculate an environmental nonconformity value indicating an index of a discomfort level of environment at the waiting place for the passenger based on the environmental information of the waiting place, the environmental nonconformity value increasing as the discomfort level increases;
• create a transportation route of a mobile body on which the passenger rides wherein the transportation route comprises a route from the passenger's waiting place to the destination place, the route being generated by a server to account for a moving time, a waiting time, and environmental conditions at the waiting place thereby minimizing a sum of the waiting time of the passenger at the waiting place, the waiting time being multiplied by the environmental nonconformity value, and the moving time of the passenger to move from the waiting place at which the passenger rides on the mobile body to the destination place;
• output information indicating the transportation route;
• and
• control the mobile body to follow the transportation route calculated by the server, wherein the server transmits information indicating the transportation route to the mobile body, and the mobile body moves according to the received transportation route.

A non-transitory computer readable recording medium storing an information processing program causing a computer to execute processing of:

• acquiring a waiting place of a passenger, a destination place of the passenger, and environmental information indicating environment of the waiting place;
• calculating an environmental nonconformity value indicating an index of a discomfort level of environment at the waiting place for the passenger based on the environmental information of the waiting place, the environmental nonconformity value increasing as the discomfort level increases;
• creating a transportation route of a mobile body on which the passenger rides wherein the transportation route comprises a route from the passenger's waiting place to the destination place, the route being generated by a server to account for a moving time, a waiting time, and environmental conditions at the waiting place thereby minimizing a sum of the waiting time of the passenger at the waiting place, the waiting time being multiplied by the environmental nonconformity value, and the moving time of the passenger to move from the waiting place at which the passenger rides on the mobile body to the destination place;
• outputting information indicating the transportation route;
• and
• controlling the mobile body to follow the transportation route calculated by the server, wherein the server transmits information indicating the transportation route to the mobile body, and the mobile body moves according to the received transportation route.
