Abstract

A moving object control system includes a storage device configured to store instructions; and one or more processors, wherein the one or more processors executes the instructions stored in the storage device to determine whether or not an element selected on a basis of a priority based on the type of a specific location near the sidewalk among a plurality of elements satisfies a criterion defined for each element, and determine whether or not a sidewalk is to be included in a route of a moving object on a basis of a result of determination of whether or not the element satisfies the criterion.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A moving object control system, comprising:
a storage device configured to store instructions; and one or more processors, wherein the one or more processors executes the instructions stored in the storage device to: determine whether or not an element selected based on the type of a specific location among a plurality of elements satisfies a criterion defined for each element, and determine whether a stop position of the moving object is in a sidewalk region near the specific location or in another region different from the sidewalk region on the basis of the result of determination, wherein the plurality of elements include the sidewalk near the specific location or a congestion status near the sidewalk, and other elements different from the congestion status, wherein, in a case where the specific location is a highly public facility, determine whether or not the other elements satisfy the criterion, and wherein, in a case where the specific location is not a highly public facility, determine whether or not the congestion status satisfy the criterion.

2 . The moving object control system according to claim 1 ,
wherein the other elements include one or more elements of time, a day of the week, and weather.

3 . The moving object control system according to claim 1 ,
wherein the other elements is set on the basis of an attribute of a user of the moving object.

4 . The moving object control system according to claim 1 ,
wherein the highly public facility is a school, a cram school, or a station, and wherein the facility that is not highly public is a private house.

5 . A moving object equipped with the moving object control system according to claim 1 .

6 . A control method, comprising, by a computer:
determining whether or not an element selected based on the type of a specific location among a plurality of elements satisfies a criterion defined for each element, and determining whether a stop position of the moving object is in a sidewalk region near the specific location or in another region different from the sidewalk region on the basis of the result of determination, wherein the plurality of elements include the sidewalk near the specific location or a congestion status near the sidewalk, and other elements different from the congestion status, wherein, in a case where the specific location is a highly public facility, determining whether or not the other elements satisfy the criterion, and wherein, in a case where the specific location is not a highly public facility, determining whether or not the congestion status satisfy the criterion.

7 . A non-transitory computer storage medium storing a program causing a computer to execute:
determining whether or not an element selected based on the type of a specific location among a plurality of elements satisfies a criterion defined for each element, and determining whether a stop position of the moving object is in a sidewalk region near the specific location or in another region different from the sidewalk region on the basis of the result of determination, wherein the plurality of elements include the sidewalk near the specific location or a congestion status near the sidewalk, and other elements different from the congestion status, wherein, in a case where the specific location is a highly public facility, determining whether or not the other elements satisfy the criterion, and wherein, in a case where the specific location is not a highly public facility, determining whether or not the congestion status satisfy the criterion.
