wherein the controller

determines whether the vehicle is stopped at a location other than the destination point,

maintains the stopped state of the vehicle in a case of determining that the cargo information has been updated and the vehicle is stopped at a location other than the destination point, and

the notifying unit notifies a fourth alert.

12 . The cargo compartment monitoring device according to claim 11 , wherein the fourth alert indicates that the cargo has moved.

13 . A cargo compartment monitoring device comprising an acquiring unit, a controller, and a notifying unit,

wherein the acquiring unit is configured to acquire cargo information including at least information indicating, as coordinates, a position of a cargo loaded in a cargo compartment of a vehicle in the cargo compartment,

wherein the controller is configured to:

record the cargo information related to the cargo newly loaded on the vehicle in association with a user when the new user boards the vehicle;

determine whether the cargo information has been updated;

determine whether the vehicle has arrived at a destination point of the user;

wherein the notifying unit is configured to notify a first alert in a case of determining that the cargo information has not been updated and the vehicle has arrived at the destination point,

wherein the controller is configured to:

determine whether the vehicle is stopped at a location other than the destination point; and

maintain the stopped state of the vehicle in a case of determining that the cargo information has been updated and the vehicle is stopped at a location other than the destination point,

wherein the notifying unit is configured to notify a fourth alert,

wherein the acquiring unit is configured to acquire a return information indicating that the cargo has returned to the vehicle, and

wherein the controller is configured to cancel the stopped state of the vehicle based on the return information.

14 . The cargo compartment monitoring device according to claim 1 , wherein the acquiring unit

includes a plurality of load detecting sensors arranged on a floor of the cargo compartment, and

acquires information, as coordinates, indicating the position based on a load distribution on the floor acquired by the load detecting sensors.

15 . The cargo compartment monitoring device according to claim 1 , wherein the acquiring unit

includes a camera configured to capture an image of an inside of the cargo compartment and to generate a captured image,

acquires information, as coordinates, indicating the position by image analysis based on the captured image.

16 . The cargo compartment monitoring device according to claim 15 , wherein the controller records the captured image in association with the cargo information and the user.

17 . A cargo compartment monitoring method for controlling a controller connected to an acquiring unit and a notifying unit, the method comprising: by the controller,

acquiring cargo information including at least information, as coordinates, indicating a position of a cargo loaded in a cargo compartment of a vehicle in the cargo compartment, via the acquiring unit;

recording the cargo information related to the cargo newly loaded on the vehicle in association with a user when the new user boards the vehicle;

determining whether the cargo information has been updated;

determining whether the vehicle has arrived at a destination point of the user;
