Abstract

A vehicle control device is a vehicle control device mounted in a vehicle and includes an information provider configured to transmit information on a route from a parking position to a boarding position of the vehicle to a terminal device.

Claims (26)

1. A vehicle control device mounted in a vehicle, the vehicle control device comprising a processor configured to execute a program to:

acquire an automated exit request for the vehicle;

determine a route from a parking position of the vehicle to a boarding position in response to the acquired automated exit request; and

transmit information on the determined route to a terminal device of an occupant of the vehicle;

wherein the processor is configured to execute the program to transmit outside-vehicle information of the vehicle to the terminal device in a case where information on a delay of the vehicle during an automated exit process of the vehicle based on the automated exit request has been acquired.

2. The vehicle control device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to execute the program to transmit outside-vehicle information of the vehicle to the terminal device in a case where the vehicle has stopped during a predetermined time or more in the automated exit process of the vehicle based on the automated exit request.

3. The vehicle control device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to execute the program to transmit outside-vehicle information of the vehicle to the terminal device in a case where the vehicle has traveled during a predetermined time or more and at a predetermined speed or less in the automated exit process of the vehicle based on the automated exit request.

4. The vehicle control device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to execute the program to transmit information on a position at which the outside-vehicle information of the vehicle has been acquired, together with the outside-vehicle information of the vehicle, to the terminal device.

5. The vehicle control device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to execute the program to acquire the automated exit request transmitted from the terminal device.

6. The vehicle control device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to execute the program to:

further acquire a request for acquisition of

outside-vehicle information of the vehicle transmitted from the terminal device; and

transmit the outside-vehicle information of the vehicle to the terminal device in a case where the request for acquisition of the outside-vehicle information has been acquired.

7. The vehicle control device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to execute the program to transmit outside-vehicle image information of the vehicle to the terminal device.

8. The vehicle control device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to execute the program to transmit, to the terminal device, information on change in a route to the boarding position.

9. The vehicle control device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to execute the program to transmit, to the terminal device, information on a required time required for movement from a position of the vehicle to the boarding position.

10. A vehicle control method comprising:

acquiring, by a computer of a vehicle control device mounted in a vehicle, an automated exit request for the vehicle;

determining, by the computer, a route from a parking position of the vehicle to a boarding position in response to the acquired automated exit request; and

transmitting, by the computer, information on the determined route to a terminal device of an occupant of the vehicle;

transmitting outside-vehicle information of the vehicle to the terminal device in a case where information on a delay of the vehicle during an automated exit process of the vehicle based on the automated exit request has been acquired.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program, the program causing a computer of a vehicle control device mounted in a vehicle to:

acquire an automated exit request for the vehicle;

determine a route from a parking position of the vehicle to a boarding position in response to the acquired automated exit request; and

transmit information on the determined route to a terminal device of an occupant of the vehicle;

transmit outside-vehicle information of the vehicle to the terminal device in a case where information on a delay of the vehicle during an automated exit process of the vehicle based on the automated exit request has been acquired.
