Abstract

A user can receive an article even when the user of a delivery destination is absent. An information processing device includes: a storage unit configured to store article identification information, article name information, delivery destination user identification information, delivery destination information, and arrival date and time information in association with each other; a notification unit configured to notify a delivery destination information terminal used by the delivery destination user of an arrival date and time before the moving body starts to move to deliver the delivery target article to the delivery destination; and an information receiving unit configured to store housing place identification information in the storage unit when the housing place identification information and information are received, in which the notification unit notifies the delivery destination information terminal of the article name of the delivery target article and the housing place.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An information processing device comprising:
at least one memory configured to store instructions; and
at least one processor configured to execute the instructions, wherein
the at least one memory is configured to store article identification information used for identifying a delivery target article that is a target to be delivered, article name information representing an article name of the delivery target article, delivery destination user identification information used for identifying a delivery destination user of the delivery target article, delivery destination information representing a delivery destination of the delivery target article, arrival date and time information representing a date and time at which a moving body delivering the delivery target article arrives at the delivery destination, and moving body identification information used for identifying the moving body in association with each other,
the at least one processor is configured to execute the instructions to:
notify a delivery destination information terminal used by the delivery destination user represented by the delivery destination user identification information of an arrival date and time represented by the arrival date and time information before the moving body starts to move to deliver the delivery target article represented by the article identification information to the delivery destination represented by the delivery destination information;
store housing place identification information in the at least one memory in association with the article identification information when the housing place identification information used to identify a housing place of the delivery target article delivered to the delivery destination and information used for specifying the delivery target article are received;
transmit, to the moving body, an instruction which controls the moving body to deliver the delivery target article represented by the article identification information to the delivery destination represented by the delivery destination information in the housing place identified by the housing place identification information based on the arrival date and time represented by the arrival date and time information; and
notify, when movement stop information representing cessation of movement of the moving body corresponding to the moving body identification information is stored in the at least one memory, the delivery destination information terminal of information used for accepting an instruction of selection of a delivery means using a moving body of a different type from the moving body.

2. The information processing device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the at least one memory is configured to store moving body identification information used for identifying the moving body in association with the article identification information, and
wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute the instructions to notify, when movement stop information representing cessation of movement of the moving body corresponding to the moving body identification information is stored in the at least one memory, the delivery destination information terminal used by the delivery destination user corresponding to the delivery destination user identification information associated with the moving body identification information of a change of a delivery schedule of the delivery target article.

3. The information processing device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute the instructions to notify, when movement stop information representing cessation of movement of the moving body corresponding to the moving body identification information is stored in the at least one memory, the delivery destination information terminal of information used for accepting a delivery stop instruction.

4. The information processing device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the at least one memory is configured to store delivery source identification information used for identifying a delivery source user of the delivery target article in association with the article identification information,
wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute the instructions to:
receive unlock date and time information representing a date and time at which the housing place corresponding to the housing place identification information is unlocked; and
notify a delivery source information terminal used by the delivery source user corresponding to the delivery source identification information of the unlock date and time information.

5. The information processing device according to claim 4 , wherein, in a case in which the unlock date and time information is not received until a predetermined period elapses after the arrival date and time represented by the arrival date and time information, the at least one processor is configured to execute the instructions to notify at least one of the delivery source information terminal and the delivery destination information terminal of time-over information representing that the delivery target article has not been taken out of the housing place.

6. The information processing device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute the instructions to receive delivery instruction information representing an instruction for delivery of the delivery target article to a place designated by the delivery destination user, and
wherein, in a case in which the delivery instruction information is received, the at least one processor is configured to execute the instructions to notify an information terminal used by a person delivering the delivery target article from the housing place to the place designated by the delivery destination user of unlock information used for unlocking the housing place.

7. The information processing device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute the instructions to:
receive change information representing that an arrival date and time of the moving body has been changed; and
notify, when the change information is received, a delivery source information terminal used by a delivery source user and the delivery destination information terminal of a changed arrival date and time represented by the change information.

8. The information processing device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute the instructions to:
cause, when the delivery destination user identification information, the article identification information, and return notification information representing return of the delivery target article corresponding to the article identification information are received, the at least one memory to store the delivery destination user identification information, the article identification information, and the return notification information that have been received, and
notify a delivery source information terminal used by a delivery source user of return of the delivery target article corresponding to the article identification information from the delivery destination user represented by the delivery destination user identification information.

9. The information processing device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the at least one memory is configured to store at least one of weather information of a delivery source and weather information of the delivery destination of the delivery target article, or availability information representing availability of taking-off at the delivery source or availability of landing at the delivery destination in association with the article identification information, and
wherein the at least on
