Abstract

A controller of a server device that is an information processing device according to the present disclosure executes setting a ratio between number of first parking spaces and number of second parking spaces, on the basis of a past actual utilization figure of a parking lot including the first parking spaces with a first time limit and the second parking spaces that allow parking for a longer time period than the first time limit, and controlling provision of the first parking spaces and the second parking spaces at the set ratio.

Claims (56)

1. An information processing device comprising

a controller including at least one processor configured to execute:

setting a ratio between number of first parking spaces and number of second parking spaces, on the basis of a past actual utilization figure of a parking lot including the first parking spaces with a first time limit and the second parking spaces that allow parking for a longer time period than the first time limit; and

controlling provision of the first parking spaces and the second parking spaces at the set ratio.

2. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein

the setting the ratio comprises changing the ratio in accordance with a period, on the basis of the actual utilization figure.

3. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein

the controller further executes

sending a notice prompting movement of a vehicle of a user to a device of the user of the vehicle whose parking is sensed, when the controller senses parking of the vehicle in the first parking space for not less than a first predetermined time period.

4. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein

the controller further executes

guiding an autonomous running vehicle to the second parking space or a different parking space that allows parking for an even longer time period, when the controller senses parking of the autonomous running vehicle in the first parking space for not less than a second predetermined time period.

5. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein

the controller further executes

collecting information on utilization of the parking lot at a predetermined timing, and

changing a predetermined number of ones of the second parking spaces to the first parking spaces, when an empty parking space in the parking lot does not meet a predetermined criterion.

6. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein

the controller further executes

supporting management of an amount of money to be borne by a first facility that bears at least a part of a parking fee for the first parking space and an amount of money to be borne by a second facility that bears at least a part of a parking fee for the second parking space.

7. The information processing device according to claim 6 , wherein

the supporting the management of the amounts of money to be borne comprises adjusting the amount of money to be borne by at least either one of the first facility and the second facility on the basis of changing of the ratio between the number of the first parking spaces and the number of the second parking spaces.

8. An information processing method, the method comprising:

setting a ratio between number of first parking spaces and number of second parking spaces, on the basis of a past actual utilization figure of a parking lot including the first parking spaces with a first time limit and the second parking spaces that allow parking for a longer time period than the first time limit; and

controlling provision of the first parking spaces and the second parking spaces at the set ratio.

9. The information processing method according to claim 8 , wherein

the setting the ratio comprises changing the ratio in accordance with a period, on the basis of the actual utilization figure.

10. The information processing method according to claim 8 , wherein

sending a notice prompting movement of a vehicle of a user to a device of the user of the vehicle whose parking is sensed, when sensing parking of the vehicle in the first parking space for not less than a first predetermined time period.

11. The information processing method according to claim 8 , wherein

guiding an autonomous running vehicle to the second parking space or a different parking space that allows parking for an even longer time period, when sensing parking of the autonomous running vehicle in the first parking space for not less than a second predetermined time period.

12. The information processing method according to claim 8 , wherein

collecting information on utilization of the parking lot at a predetermined timing, and

changing a predetermined number of ones of the second parking spaces to the first parking spaces, when an empty parking space in the parking lot does not meet a predetermined criterion.

13. The information processing method according to claim 8 , wherein

supporting management of an amount of money to be borne by a first facility that bears at least a part of a parking fee for the first parking space and an amount of money to be borne by a second facility that bears at least a part of a parking fee for the second parking space.

14. The information processing method according to claim 13 , wherein

the supporting the management of the amounts of money to be borne comprises adjusting the amount of money to be borne by at least either one of the first facility and the second facility on the basis of changing of the ratio between the number of the first parking spaces and the number of the second parking spaces.

15. A computer-readable storage medium non-transitorily storing a program for causing at least one computer to execute:

setting a ratio between number of first parking spaces and number of second parking spaces, on the basis of a past actual utilization figure of a parking lot including the first parking spaces with a first time limit and the second parking spaces that allow parking for a longer time period than the first time limit; and

controlling provision of the first parking spaces and the second parking spaces at the set ratio.

16. The computer-readable storage medium non-transitorily storing the program according to claim 15 , wherein

the setting the ratio comprises changing the ratio in accordance with a period, on the basis of the actual utilization figure.

17. The computer-readable storage medium non-transitorily storing the program according to claim 15 , wherein

the computer-readable storage medium causes the at least one computer to further execute

sending a notice prompting movement of a vehicle of a user to a device of the user of the vehicle whose parking is sensed, when the at least one computer senses parking of the vehicle in the first parking space for not less than a first predetermined time period.

18. The computer-readable storage medium non-transitorily storing the program according to claim 15 , wherein

the computer-readable storage medium causes the at least one computer to further execute

guiding an autonomous running vehicle to the second parking space or a different parking space that allows parking for an even longer time period, when the at least one computer senses parking of the autonomous running vehicle in the first parking space for not less than a second predetermined time period.

19. The computer-readable storage medium non-transitorily storing the program according to claim 15 , wherein

the computer-readable storage medium causes the at least one computer to further execute

collecting information on utilization of the parking lot at a predetermined timing, and

changing a predetermined number of ones of the second parking spaces to the first parking spaces, when an empty parking space in the parking lot does not meet a predetermined criterion.

20. The computer-readable storage medium non-transitorily storing the program according to claim 15 , wherein

the computer-readable storage medium causes the at least one computer to further execute

supporting management of an amount of money to be borne by a first facility that bears at least a part of a parking fee for the first parking space and an amount of money to be borne by a second facility that bears at least a part of a parking fee for the second parking space, and

the supporting the management of the amounts of money to be borne comprises adjusting the amount of money to be borne by at least either one of the first facility and the second facility on the basis of changing of the ratio between the number of the first parking spaces and the number of the second parking spaces.
