Abstract: Provided are a reservation information acquisition section of acquiring reservation information indicating a reservation condition for reservation of the first mobile object, an arrival determination section of determining whether the first mobile object can arrive at the position indicated by the reservation information by the time indicated by the reservation information, an arrangement section of determining to move the second mobile object different from the first mobile object to the position indicated by the reservation information in a case where it is determined that the first mobile object cannot arrive at the position indicated by the reservation information by the time indicated by the reservation information, and a consideration determination section of determining a condition regarding a consideration for the use of the second mobile object.

Abstract: In an information processing apparatus for managing or controlling a moving body used by a user based on a predetermined use condition, the moving body is configured to be switchable between an automatic driving mode and a manual driving mode, and the information processing apparatus comprises a use condition acquisition section for acquiring information related to the use condition of the moving body, a switch command acquisition section for acquiring a switch command for switching a driving mode of the moving body, and a switch judgment section for judging permission/prohibition of switching of the driving mode indicated by the switch command, based on the use condition of the moving body.

Abstract: An information processing system comprises: a first destination information acquisition section for acquiring a first destination information indicating a first destination which is a destination of a user; a physical information acquisition section for acquiring a physical information indicating a physical feature of the user; a candidate point determination section for determining a candidate point of a second destination which is a destination of a moving body for conveying the user, based on (i) a position of the first destination indicated by the first destination information, and (ii) a physical feature of the user indicated by the physical information. The first destination and the second destination are different from each other.

Abstract: A space management system for managing an environment of a shared space that is arranged inside a mobile body and can be used jointly by a first occupant and a second occupant comprises a control mode determining unit configured to determine a control mode serving as a control target of an adjusting unit configured to adjust the environment of the shared space. The control mode determining unit is configured to determine enabling or disabling of an independent control mode for independently adjusting an environment of a first subspace, which is a part of the shared space, where the first occupant is present and an environment of a second subspace, which is a part of the shared space, where the second occupant is present.

Abstract: A method and system for providing access to a vehicle and enabling data off-boarding that include associating a primary portable device to the vehicle and granting privileges to the primary portable device. The method and system also include associating at least one secondary portable device to the vehicle by granting privileges to the at least one secondary portable device through the primary portable device. The method and system additionally include providing terms and conditions related to data off-boarding to the primary portable device and providing terms and conditions related to data off-boarding to the at least one secondary portable device when the at least one secondary portable device is linked to the vehicle through the primary portable device. The method and system further include controlling off-boarding of vehicle data of a driver when the terms and conditions are accepted.

Abstract: A device for managing communications on a mobile communication device based upon behavior of a user has a controller. The controller reviews data stored within applications of the mobile communication device, identifies one or more key terms within applications stored on the mobile communication device, determines if the one or more key terms belongs to at least one of the plurality of pre-defined mood categories, generates one or more reminder task items associated with the data and the one or more key terms identified, identifies a genre of music being played on an audio source, and determines whether the genre of music belongs to at least one of a plurality of pre-defined mood categories. The controller generates a notification message associated with one of the reminder task items when the genre of music being played and the associated one or more reminder task items belong to the same pre-defined mood category.

Abstract: Provided is an information retrieval system for car navigation systems that allows a vehicle occupant to designate a destination both easily and quickly. Each address is given as a combination of a plurality of strings of characters, each string corresponding to one of a plurality of search hierarchy levels, and the character strings are stored in a storage unit. If a current hierarchy level does not include any candidate of data that corresponds to a character entered by a user on an interface unit, a character type data search unit retrieves candidates from a next lower hierarchy level. Thereby, even if the use does not know a part of an address, the vehicle operator is able to successfully reconstruct the full address and enter a destination in an unambiguous manner. Such a candidate or candidates may be displayed on the monitor in combination with the corresponding data of the next higher hierarchy level.
