Information processing device and control method

A control method performed by an information processing device, the control method comprising:

• acquiring delivery position information indicating a start point where a first mobile object is situated and a delivery destination point, map information, speed information indicating speed of the first mobile object and speed of a second mobile object different from the first mobile object in performance, and transshipment position information indicating a first transshipment position;
• calculating a delivery time as a direct delivery time based on the delivery position information, the map information and the speed of the first mobile object and calculating a transshipment delivery time, as a time for which delivery is performed by transshipping a parcel included in the first mobile object, based on the delivery position information, the map information, the speed of the first mobile object, the speed of the second mobile object, and the transshipment position information;
• and
• executing control when the direct delivery time is shorter than the transshipment delivery time so that the first mobile object delivers the parcel from the start point to the delivery destination point and executing control when the transshipment delivery time is shorter than the direct delivery time so that the first mobile object moves to the first transshipment position, the parcel is transshipped to the second mobile object and then the second mobile object moves to the delivery destination point.

An information processing device comprising:

• a processor to execute a program;
• and
• a memory to store the program which, when executed by the processor, performs processes of,
• acquiring delivery position information indicating a start point where a first mobile object is situated and a delivery destination point, map information, speed information indicating speed of the first mobile object and speed of a second mobile object different from the first mobile object in performance, and transshipment position information indicating a first transshipment position,
• calculating a delivery time as a direct delivery time based on the delivery position information, the map information and the speed of the first mobile object and calculating a transshipment delivery time, as a time for which delivery is performed by transshipping a parcel included in the first mobile object, based on the delivery position information, the map information, the speed of the first mobile object, the speed of the second mobile object, and the transshipment position information, and
• executing control when the direct delivery time is shorter than the transshipment delivery time so that the first mobile object delivers the parcel from the start point to the delivery destination point and executing control when the transshipment delivery time is shorter than the direct delivery time so that the first mobile object moves to the first transshipment position, the parcel is transshipped to the second mobile object and then the second mobile object moves to the delivery destination point.
