Abstract
An unmanned aerial delivery vehicle acquires transfer position information indicating a position at time of package transfer of an unmanned ground delivery vehicle that receives a package in a case where a predetermined condition based on position information of the unmanned aerial delivery vehicle that transports a package is satisfied. A position of the unmanned ground delivery vehicle at the time of package transfer is identified by the unmanned aerial delivery vehicle. The unmanned ground delivery vehicle acquires delivery destination information of the package transported by the unmanned aerial delivery vehicle.
Claims19
A delivery method executed by a delivery system comprising an unmanned aerial delivery vehicle and an unmanned ground delivery vehicle, the delivery method including:
- acquiring, by the unmanned aerial delivery vehicle, transfer position information indicating a position at time of package transfer of the unmanned ground delivery vehicle that receives a package in a case where a predetermined condition based on position information of the unmanned aerial delivery vehicle that transports the package is satisfied;
- and
- acquiring, by the unmanned ground delivery vehicle, delivery destination information to deliver the package received by the unmanned ground delivery vehicle from the unmanned aerial delivery vehicle, in which the position of the unmanned ground delivery vehicle at the time of package transfer is identified by the unmanned aerial delivery vehicle.
An information processing device in a delivery system comprising an unmanned aerial delivery vehicle, an unmanned ground delivery vehicle, and the information processing device,
- the information processing device comprising:
- at least one memory configured to store program code;
- and at least one processor configured to access the program code and operate as instructed by the program code, the program code including:
- first transmission code configured to cause at least one of the at least one processor to transmit, to the unmanned aerial delivery vehicle, transfer position information indicating a position at time of package transfer of the unmanned ground delivery vehicle that receives a package in a case where a predetermined condition based on position information of the unmanned aerial delivery vehicle that transports the package is satisfied;
- and
- second transmission code configured to cause at least one of the at least one processor to transmit, to the unmanned ground delivery vehicle, delivery destination information received by the unmanned ground delivery vehicle from the unmanned aerial delivery vehicle to deliver the package, in which the position at the time of package transfer of the unmanned ground delivery vehicle is identified by the unmanned aerial delivery vehicle.
18-25. (canceled)
A delivery system comprising an unmanned aerial delivery vehicle, an unmanned ground delivery vehicle, and an information processing device, wherein
- the information processing device comprises a transmission unit configured to transmit, to the unmanned aerial delivery vehicle, transfer position information indicating a position at time of package transfer of the unmanned ground delivery vehicle that receives a package in a case where a predetermined condition based on position information of the unmanned aerial delivery vehicle that transports the package is satisfied,
- the unmanned aerial delivery vehicle comprises:
- a reception unit configured to receive the transfer position information transmitted from the information processing device;
- and
- an identification unit configured to identify, on the basis of the transfer position information, a position of the unmanned ground delivery vehicle at the time of package transfer, and
- the unmanned ground delivery vehicle includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire delivery destination information to deliver the package received from the unmanned aerial delivery vehicle.
