Abstract

A server device configured to communicate with a communication device mounted in a vehicle, the server device includes a controller configured to execute acquiring a position of an emergency vehicle, specifying a non-emergency vehicle at a predetermined distance from the position of the emergency vehicle, and transmitting, to a communication device mounted in the non-emergency vehicle, a communication stop request as information for prompting an occupant of the non-emergency vehicle to stop use of wireless communication.

Claims (31)

1. A server device configured to communicate with a communication device mounted in a vehicle, the server device comprising a controller configured to execute

acquiring a position of an emergency vehicle,

specifying a non-emergency vehicle at a predetermined distance from the position of the emergency vehicle, and

transmitting, to a communication device mounted in the non-emergency vehicle, a communication stop request as information for prompting an occupant of the non-emergency vehicle to stop use of wireless communication.

2. The server device according to claim 1 , wherein the communication stop request includes information indicating a communication stop time as a time during which the use of the wireless communication is stopped.

3. The server device according to claim 2 , wherein the controller is configured to calculate the communication stop time based on at least one of a traveling speed of the emergency vehicle and congestion information of a route along which the emergency vehicle is traveling.

4. The server device according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured not to transmit the communication stop request to the communication device of the non-emergency vehicle in a case where the position of the emergency vehicle is within an area where a predetermined communication system is usable.

5. The server device according to claim 2 , wherein the controller is configured not to transmit the communication stop request to the communication device of the non-emergency vehicle in a case where the position of the emergency vehicle is within an area where a predetermined communication system is usable.

6. The server device according to claim 3 , wherein the controller is configured not to transmit the communication stop request to the communication device of the non-emergency vehicle in a case where the position of the emergency vehicle is within an area where a predetermined communication system is usable.

7. An in-vehicle device mounted in an emergency vehicle and configured to communicate with a device outside the emergency vehicle, the in-vehicle device comprising a controller configured to execute transmitting, to a communication device mounted in a non-emergency vehicle, a communication stop request as information for prompting an occupant of the non-emergency vehicle at a predetermined distance from a position of the emergency vehicle to stop use of wireless communication while the emergency vehicle is traveling for an emergency.

8. An in-vehicle device mounted in a non-emergency vehicle and configured to communicate with a device outside the non-emergency vehicle, the in-vehicle device comprising a controller configured to execute

receiving a communication stop request as information for prompting an occupant of the non-emergency vehicle to stop use of wireless communication, and

prompting the occupant of the non-emergency vehicle to stop the use of the wireless communication when receiving the communication stop request.

9. An information processing method comprising:

acquiring, by a computer, a position of an emergency vehicle,

specifying, by the computer, a non-emergency vehicle at a predetermined distance from the position of the emergency vehicle, and

transmitting, by the computer, a communication stop request as information for prompting an occupant of the non-emergency vehicle to stop use of wireless communication to a communication device mounted in the non-emergency vehicle.

10. The information processing method according to claim 9 , wherein the communication stop request includes information indicating a communication stop time as a time during which the use of the wireless communication is stopped.

11. The information processing method according to claim 10 , further comprising calculating, by the computer, the communication stop time based on at least one of a traveling speed of the emergency vehicle and congestion information of a route along which the emergency vehicle is traveling.

12. The information processing method according to claim 9 , wherein the computer is configured not to transmit the communication stop request to the communication device of the non-emergency vehicle in a case where the position of the emergency vehicle is within an area where a predetermined communication system is usable.

13. The information processing method according to claim 10 , wherein the computer is configured not to transmit the communication stop request to the communication device of the non-emergency vehicle in a case where the position of the emergency vehicle is within an area where a predetermined communication system is usable.

14. The information processing method according to claim 11 , wherein the computer is configured not to transmit the communication stop request to the communication device of the non-emergency vehicle in a case where the position of the emergency vehicle is within an area where a predetermined communication system is usable.

15. A non-transitory storage medium storing instructions that are executable by one or more processors and that cause the one or more processors to perform functions comprising:

acquiring a position of an emergency vehicle;

specifying a non-emergency vehicle at a predetermined distance from the position of the emergency vehicle; and

transmitting a communication stop request as information for prompting an occupant of the non-emergency vehicle to stop use of wireless communication to a communication device mounted in the non-emergency vehicle.

16. The storage medium according to claim 15 , wherein the communication stop request includes information indicating a communication stop time as a time during which the use of the wireless communication is stopped.

17. The storage medium according to claim 16 , wherein the functions is further comprising calculating the communication stop time based on at least one of a traveling speed of the emergency vehicle and congestion information of a route along which the emergency vehicle is traveling.

18. The storage medium according to claim 15 , wherein the one or more processors is configured not to transmit the communication stop request to the communication device of the non-emergency vehicle in a case where the position of the emergency vehicle is within an area where a predetermined communication system is usable.

19. The storage medium according to claim 16 , wherein the one or more processors is configured not to transmit the communication stop request to the communication device of the non-emergency vehicle in a case where the position of the emergency vehicle is within an area where a predetermined communication system is usable.

20. The storage medium according to claim 17 , wherein the one or more processors is configured not to transmit the communication stop request to the communication device of the non-emergency vehicle in a case where the position of the emergency vehicle is within an area where a predetermined communication system is usable.
