Abstract

A processing device includes a control unit configured to execute identifying a first training device that is of one or more training devices equipped in a movable object for providing a training opportunity to a passenger and that is used by the passenger, and at least one process of controlling a traveling state of the movable object depending on a content of a training using the first training device and restricting use states of the one or more training devices depending on the traveling state of the movable object.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A processing device comprising:
circuitry configured to:
identify a first training device that is of one or more training devices equipped in a movable object for providing a training opportunity to a passenger and that is used by the passenger, and
at least one of control a traveling state of the movable object depending on use information of the first training device and restrict use states of the one or more training devices depending on the traveling state of the movable object,
wherein the one or more training devices do not control the traveling state of the moveable object.

2. The processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is configured to prohibit use of a second training device of the one or more training devices based on information about a route through which the movable object plans to travel.

3. The processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is configured to change a traveling route through which the movable object travels based on the use information of the first training device.

4. The processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the use information includes at least one of a power supply status, a use status, a menu item selected, and a current load amount.

5. The processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is configured to actuate a lock mechanism of the first training device that is being used by the passenger, when the circuitry determines that the circuitry is unable to control the traveling state of the movable object.

6. The processing device according to claim 5 , wherein the circuitry is configured to actuate a safety device that secures a body of the passenger that uses the first training device.

7. The processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is configured to restrict use of the first training device depending on the traveling state of the movable object.

8. The processing device according to claim 7 , wherein the circuitry is configured to present a menu item for a training allowing securement of safety to the passenger that uses the first training device.

9. A processing method comprising:
identifying a first training device that is of one or more training devices equipped in a movable object for providing a training opportunity to a passenger and that is used by the passenger, and
at least one of controlling a traveling state of the movable object depending on use information of the first training device and restricting use states of the one or more training devices depending on the traveling state of the movable object,
wherein the one or more training devices do not control the traveling state of the moveable object.

10. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program that causes a computer to execute:
identifying a first training device that is of one or more training devices equipped in a movable object for providing a training opportunity to a passenger and that is used by the passenger, and
at least one of controlling a traveling state of the movable object depending on use information of the first training device and restricting use states of the one or more training devices depending on the traveling state of the movable object,
wherein the one or more training devices do not control the traveling state of the movable object.
