  • Publication number: 20240399577
    Abstract: To provide a delivery system or the like adapted to request a person to remove an obstacle in a given area in front of a storage cabinet. A delivery system includes: a storage cabinet; a delivery robot capable of traveling to the storage cabinet and delivering an article; at least one detection unit configured to detect an obstacle present in the vicinity of the storage cabinet; and a control unit configured to control an operation of the delivery system, including the delivery robot. When the detection unit detects that there is an obstacle within a given area in the vicinity of the storage cabinet, and when the control unit determines that the delivery robot cannot deliver the article to the storage cabinet due to the presence of the obstacle, the control unit sends a notification requesting that the detected obstacle be removed from the given area.

  • Patent number: 11915588
    Abstract: An information processing system includes a terminal worn by a user riding on a vehicle or a terminal on the vehicle, and an information processing apparatus. The terminal acquires position information. The information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to acquire the position information acquired by the terminal as position information of the vehicle, and identify a first parking slot in which the vehicle is parked from the position information of a plurality of parking slots included in a parking lot and the position information of the vehicle. The terminal worn by the user or the terminal on the vehicle acquires the position information by using a first signal from a first satellite and a second signal from a second satellite.
