Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a first acquisition unit that acquires first sensing data from a first sensor that performs sensing of an object outside a vehicle, a presentation control unit that generates presentation information based on the first sensing data and causes a presentation device present in the vehicle to present the presentation information, a second acquisition unit that acquires input data for presentation of the presentation information via an input device present in the vehicle, and a boarding control unit that controls boarding of a person on the vehicle according to the input data acquired by the second acquisition unit.

Claims (44)

1. An information processing apparatus which is configured to:

acquire first sensing data from a first sensor that performs sensing of an object outside a vehicle;

generate presentation information based on the first sensing data and cause a presentation device present in the vehicle to present the presentation information;

acquire input data for presentation of the presentation information via an input device present in the vehicle; and

control boarding of a person on the vehicle according to the input data.

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

the presentation information includes an image,

the input data includes operation data indicating operation on an operation image, and

the information processing apparatus is configured to generate the operation image.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein

the operation image includes an image for operating an entrance door of the vehicle, and

the information processing apparatus is configured to control the entrance door according to operation indicated by the operation data.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein

the operation image includes an image for selecting whether or not there is a person who is trying to get on the vehicle, and

the information processing apparatus is configured to control an entrance door of the vehicle according to operation indicated by the operation data.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein

the presentation information includes an image that emphasizes a person shown in an image.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein

the presentation information includes an image that shows movement of a person shown in an image.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the information processing apparatus is configured to acquire second sensing data from a second sensor that is attached to the vehicle and perform sensing of the inside of the vehicle,

the information processing apparatus is further configured to identify a person in the vehicle using the second sensing data, wherein

the information processing apparatus is configured to cause the presentation device to present the presentation information to the identified person.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein

the information processing apparatus is configured to identify a person by using a history of the input data.

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the information processing apparatus is configured to acquire second sensing data from a second sensor that is attached to the vehicle and perform sensing of the inside of the vehicle,

the information processing apparatus is further-configured to determine whether or not there is a person in the vehicle using the second sensing data, wherein

the information processing apparatus is configured to cause the presentation device to present the presentation information in a case where the information processing apparatus is configured to determine that there is the person in the vehicle.

10. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , the information processing apparatus is further configured to:

identify a person who has made an input to the input device; and

provide an incentive to the identified person.

11. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the input device includes a communication terminal which is carried by a person in the vehicle and communicates with the information processing apparatus, and

the information processing apparatus is configured to acquire the input data from the communication terminal through communication.

12. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the presentation device includes a communication terminal which is carried by a person in the vehicle and communicates with the information processing apparatus,

the information processing apparatus is configured to transmit the presentation information to the communication terminal, and

the communication terminal presents the presentation information transmitted.

13. An information processing method by executing a computer, comprising:

acquiring first sensing data from a first sensor that performs sensing of an object outside vehicle;

generating presentation information based on the first sensing data and causing a presentation device present in the vehicle to present the presentation information;

acquiring input data for presentation of the presentation information via an input device present in the vehicle; and

outputting control information for controlling boarding of a person on the vehicle according to the input data.
