Abstract

The control unit of the information processing device acquires first information related to one or more first facilities located in the vicinity of the scheduled traveling route of the vehicle. The control unit identifies, based on the first information, a second facility, which is a facility located in the traveling direction of the vehicle, among the first facilities. The control unit identifies, based on the first information, a third facility that is a facility including a vehicle facility among the second facilities. The control unit identifies, from among the third facilities, a fourth facility that does not correspond to a predetermined exclusion target. The control unit outputs second information regarding the fourth facility.

Claims (25)

1 . An information processing device comprising a control unit configured to execute

acquiring first information about one or more first facilities located around a scheduled travel route of a vehicle,

specifying, according to the first information, second facilities that are facilities located on a traveling direction side of the vehicle along the scheduled travel route, from among the first facilities,

specifying, according to information corresponding to the second facilities included in the first information, third facilities that are facilities provided with a vehicle facility having a drive-through, from among the second facilities,

specifying, according to information corresponding to the third facilities included in the first information, fourth facilities that are facilities not presented to a user in a predetermined period in the past, from among the third facilities,

detecting that the vehicle is stopped by a red signal,

acquiring a remaining time length of the red signal,

determining whether the remaining time length is equal to or longer than a first predetermined time length,

outputting second information corresponding to one of the fourth facilities located at a position closest to a current position of the vehicle in a state where the remaining time length is equal to or longer than the first predetermined time length,

changing an amount of the second information to be output according to the remaining time length, and

receiving, after outputting the second information, an operation of making a telephone reservation of the one of the fourth facilities and making a call to the one of the fourth facility in response to receiving the operation.

2 . The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the first predetermined time length is from 15 to 30 seconds.

3 . The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit is further configured to execute outputting the second information with a name, a photograph, and a price of a product sold at the one of the fourth facilities in a state where the remaining time length is equal to or longer than the first predetermined time length and shorter than a second predetermined time length, and

the second predetermined time length is longer than the first predetermined time length.

4 . The information processing device according to claim 2 , wherein the control unit is further configured to execute outputting the second information with a name, a photograph, and a price of a product sold at the one of the fourth facilities in a state where the remaining time length is equal to or longer than the first predetermined time length and shorter than a second predetermined time length, and

the second predetermined time length is longer than the first predetermined time length.

5 . The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit is further configured to execute outputting the second information with a name, a photograph, a price, and a description of a product sold at the one of the fourth facilities in a state where the remaining time length is equal to or longer a second predetermined time length, and

the second predetermined time length is longer than the first predetermined time length.

6 . The information processing device according to claim 2 , wherein the control unit is further configured to execute outputting the second information with a name, a photograph, a price, and a description of a product sold at the one of the fourth facilities in a state where the remaining time length is equal to or longer a second predetermined time length, and

the second predetermined time length is longer than the first predetermined time length.

7 . The information processing device according to claim 3 , wherein the second predetermined time length is from 30 to 60 seconds.

8 . The information processing device according to claim 4 , wherein the second predetermined time length is from 30 to 60 seconds.

9 . The information processing device according to claim 5 , wherein the second predetermined time length is from 30 to 60 seconds.

10 . The information processing device according to claim 6 , wherein the second predetermined time length is from 30 to 60 seconds.

11 . The information processing device according to claim 2 , in a case where there is no fourth facility associated with the first facilities, the control unit is further configured to execute determining a presentation candidate for the second information from among the first facilities located along a road within a predetermined distance from the scheduled traveling route.
