Abstract

The system includes an examination controller that performs control relating to medical examination of a client user in the mobile object, a controller configured to, decide whether or not to transport the client user to a medical facility, and create an operation command so as to cause the mobile object to pick up the client user at a first destination, which is a location based on information sent from a client user's terminal used by the client user, and when the controller decides to transport the client user to the medical facility after the mobile object moves to the first destination, to transport the client user aboard the mobile object to the medical facility as a second destination.

Claims (29)

1. An autonomous driving system comprising:

a mobile object that moves autonomously on the basis of an operation command comprising an examination controller configured to perform control relating to a medical examination of a client user in said mobile object; and

a controller configured to:

decide whether or not to transport said client user to a medical facility on the basis of a result of the medical examination of said client user;

transmit to the mobile object a first operation command instructing the mobile object to pick up said client user at a first destination, which is a location based on information sent from a client user's terminal used by said client user; and

transmit to the mobile object a second operation command instructing the mobile object to transport said client user aboard the mobile object to said medical facility as a second destination in response to deciding to transport said client user to said medical facility after said mobile object moves to said first destination,

wherein in cases where there are a plurality of medical facilities, said controller is further configured to select a medical facility as said second destination according to the result of the medical examination of said client user.

2. An autonomous driving system according to claim 1 , further comprising an examiner user's terminal used by an examiner user who conducts a medical examination of said client user and communicating with said client user's terminal, wherein said examiner user's terminal is configured to create the result of the medical examination of said client user.

3. An autonomous driving system according to claim 1 , wherein said examination controller is further configured to create the result of the medical examination of said client user in said mobile object.

4. An autonomous driving system according to claim 1 , wherein in cases where there are a plurality of medical facilities, said controller is further configured to select a medical facility as said second destination taking account of waiting time taken until said client user receives treatment.

5. An autonomous driving system according to claim 1 , wherein said controller is further configured to;

decide whether or not to transport said client user to said medical facility by an ambulance,

request dispatch of an ambulance to said first destination if said controller decides to transport said client user to said medical facility by an ambulance, and

transmit to said mobile object a third operation command instructing said mobile object to stay at said first destination with said client user aboard until an ambulance arrives at said first destination, when said controller decides to transport said client user to said medical facility by an ambulance.

6. An autonomous driving system according to claim 1 , wherein said mobile object comprises:

a storage medium used to store the result of the medical examination of said client user; and

a display that outputs the result of the medical examination of said client user stored in said storage medium.

7. A mobile object that moves autonomously comprising:

a controller configured to:

perform control for moving said mobile object autonomously;

perform control relating to medical examination of a client user who is aboard said mobile object; and

perform control for transporting said client user to a destination determined on the basis of a result of the medical examination of said client user after said client user gets on said mobile object,

wherein in cases where there are a plurality of medical facilities, said controller is further configured to select a medical facility as said destination on the basis of the result of the medical examination of said client user.

8. A server comprising:

a controller configured to:

decide whether or not to transport a client user to a medical facility on the basis of a result of medical examination of said client user,

transmit to a mobile object moving autonomously a first operation command instructing said mobile object to pick up said client user at a first destination, which is a location based on information sent from a client user's terminal used by said client user; and

transmit to the mobile object a second operation command instructing the mobile object to transport said client user aboard the mobile object to said medical facility as a second destination in response to deciding to transport said client user to said medical facility after said mobile object moves to said first destination,

wherein in cases where there are a plurality of medical facilities, said controller is further configured to select a medical facility as said second destination according to the result of the medical examination of said client user.
