Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Provided is a system including: a first vehicle equipped with a land mobile station for mobile communication; and a second vehicle that transports the first vehicle and a user holding a terminal for mobile communication. The system further includes a control unit configured to acquire radio wave intensity of the mobile communication at a current location of the second vehicle, and generate, when the acquired radio wave intensity is less than a predetermined intensity, a command to unload the first vehicle from the second vehicle; and generating a command to relay the mobile communication by the land mobile station of the first vehicle.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A system comprising: a first vehicle equipped with a land mobile station for mobile communication; and a second vehicle configured to transport the first vehicle and a user holding a terminal for the mobile communication, wherein the system further comprises a control unit configured to: acquire radio wave intensity of the mobile communication at a current location of the second vehicle, generate, when the acquired radio wave intensity is less than a predetermined intensity, a command to unload the first vehicle from the second vehicle; and generate a command to relay the mobile communication by the land mobile station of the first vehicle; acquire the radio wave intensity of the mobile communication at a current location of the first vehicle after the first vehicle is unloaded from the second vehicle; and generate, when the acquired radio wave intensity of the mobile communication at the current location of the first vehicle is less than a lower limit intensity that is less than the predetermined intensity, a command to move the first vehicle to an area where the radio wave intensity of the mobile communication is equal to or higher than the lower limit intensity. 2. The system according to claim 1 , wherein: the second vehicle is configured to transport a plurality of first vehicles; the control unit is configured to, each time the radio wave intensity at the current location of the second vehicle is less than the predetermined intensity: generate the command to unload the first vehicle from the second vehicle; and generate the command to relay the mobile communication by the land mobile station of the first vehicle. 3. An information processing apparatus comprising: a control unit configured to control a second vehicle, the second vehicle transporting a first vehicle that is equipped with a land mobile station for mobile communication and relays the mobile communication, and a user that holds a terminal for the mobile communication, wherein the control unit is configured to: acquire radio wave intensity of the mobile communication at a current location of the second vehicle, generate, when the acquired radio wave intensity is less than a predetermined intensity, a command to unload the first vehicle from the second vehicle, acquire the radio wave intensity of the mobile communication at a current location of the first vehicle after the first vehicle is unloaded from the second vehicle, and generate, when the acquired radio wave intensity of the mobile communication at the current location of the first vehicle is less than a lower limit intensity that is less than the predetermined intensity, a command to move the first vehicle to an area where the radio wave intensity of the mobile communication is equal to or higher than the lower limit intensity. 4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein: the second vehicle is configured to transport a plurality of first vehicles; the control unit is configured to, each time the radio wave intensity at the current location of the second vehicle is less than the predetermined intensity: generate the command to unload the first vehicle from the second vehicle; and generate the command to relay the mobile communication by the land mobile station of the first vehicle. 5. An information processing method that controls a second vehicle and is executed by a computer, the second vehicle transporting a first vehicle that is equipped with a land mobile station for mobile communication and relays the mobile communication and a user that holds a terminal for the mobile communication, the information processing method comprising: acquiring radio wave intensity of the mobile communication at a current location of the second vehicle, and generating, when the acquired radio wave intensity is less than a predetermined intensity, a command to unload the first vehicle from the second vehicle, acquiring the radio wave intensity of the mobile communication at a current location of the first vehicle after the first vehicle is unloaded from the second vehicle; and generating, when the acquired radio wave intensity of the mobile communication at the current location of the first vehicle is less than a lower limit intensity that is less than the predetermined intensity, a command to move the first vehicle to an area where the radio wave intensity of the mobile communication is equal to or higher than the lower limit intensity. 6. The information processing method according to claim 5 , wherein the second vehicle is configured to transport a plurality of first vehicles; and the information processing method further comprises, each time the radio wave intensity at the current location of the second vehicle is less than the predetermined intensity: generating the command to unload the first vehicle from the second vehicle, and generating the command to relay the mobile communication by the land mobile station of the first vehicle.
