Abstract

A movable body control system includes: a movable body on which a user is capable of riding; a support device that supports a body of the user in a lying posture; a body detection device that detects a state of the user supported by the support device; a periphery monitor device that monitors a periphery of the support device; and a determination part that determines whether or not the movable body is capable of approaching the support device based on a detection result of the periphery monitor device. In the movable body control system, in a case where the body detection device detects that the user is in a predetermined state and the determination part determines that the movable body is capable of approaching the support device, the movable body approaches the support device.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A movable body control system, comprising:
a movable body on which a user is capable of riding; a support device that supports a body of the user in a lying posture; a body detection device that detects a state of the user supported by the support device; a periphery monitor device that monitors a periphery of the support device; and a determination part that determines whether or not the movable body is capable of approaching the support device based on a detection result of the periphery monitor device, wherein in a case where the body detection device detects that the user is in a predetermined state and the determination part determines that the movable body is capable of approaching the support device, the movable body approaches the support device.

2 . The movable body control system according to claim 1 ,
wherein the movable body comprises: a seat part on which the user is seated; a lifting mechanism that raises and lowers the seat part; and a movable body control part that controls the lifting mechanism, wherein the movable body control part controls the lifting mechanism such that a height of a seating surface of the seat part is aligned with a height of a support surface that supports the user in the support device in a state where the movable body approaches the support device and stops.

3 . The movable body control system according to claim 2 ,
wherein the support device is deformed such that a portion of an edge part is recessed to be capable of receiving the seat part in plan view.

4 . The movable body control system according to claim 1 ,
wherein the support device includes a removable part which includes a support surface that supports the user and which is formed to be removable, and the removable part is supported by the movable body.

5 . The movable body control system according to claim 1 , further comprising
an operation part that receives an operation of the user, wherein the movable body approaches the support device in a case where the operation part is operated.

6 . The movable body control system according to claim 2 , further comprising
an operation part that receives an operation of the user, wherein the movable body approaches the support device in a case where the operation part is operated.

7 . The movable body control system according to claim 3 , further comprising
an operation part that receives an operation of the user, wherein the movable body approaches the support device in a case where the operation part is operated.

8 . The movable body control system according to claim 4 , further comprising
an operation part that receives an operation of the user, wherein the movable body approaches the support device in a case where the operation part is operated.
