Vehicle
A movable vehicle includes an access point functional unit that includes an antenna and functions as an access point by wirelessly communicating with a terminal device around the vehicle, and a notifier that notifies the surroundings that the vehicle is functioning as an access point.
1. A movable vehicle, comprising:
an access point functional unit including an antenna and configured to function as an access point by wirelessly communicating with a terminal device around the vehicle; and
a notifier configured to notify surroundings that the vehicle is functioning as an access point,
wherein the notifier includes a lamp body, and causes the lamp body to light when the vehicle is functioning as an access point.
2. The vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the lamp body includes at least one of a turn signal lamp, a position lamp, a headlight, a tail lamp, or an in-vehicle lamp.
3. The vehicle according to claim 2 , wherein the notifier includes the turn signal lamp, and causes the turn signal lamp to constantly light when the vehicle is functioning as an access point.
4. The vehicle according to claim 2 , wherein the notifier includes an in-vehicle lamp and causes the in-vehicle lamp to blink when the vehicle is functioning as an access point.
5. The vehicle according to claim 1 , further comprising:
an illuminance measurer configured to measure an illuminance around a vehicle body of the vehicle,
wherein the notifier decreases an amount of light emitted by the lamp body in a case in which the illuminance measured by the illuminance measurer is lower than a predetermined illuminance as compared with a case in which the illuminance measured by the illuminance measurer is equal to or higher than the predetermined illuminance.
6. The vehicle according to claim 1 ,
wherein the antenna has directivity,
the lamp body is disposed in a plurality of places of a vehicle body of the vehicle, and
the notifier makes an amount of light emitted by the lamp body attached to a first side to which the antenna is directed in the vehicle body larger than an amount of light emitted by the lamp body attached to a place other than the first side.
7. The vehicle according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a storage battery,
wherein the notifier makes an amount of light emitted by the lamp body in a case in which an amount of stored electricity of the storage battery is equal to or larger than a predetermined amount of stored electricity larger than that in a case in which the amount of stored electricity of the storage battery is smaller than the predetermined amount of stored electricity.
8. The vehicle according to claim 1 , further comprising:
an externally chargeable storage battery,
wherein the notifier makes an amount of light emitted by the lamp body in a case in which the storage battery is externally charged larger than that in a case in which the storage battery is not externally charged.
9. The vehicle according to claim 1 , further comprising:
an acquirer configured to acquire information on communication quality between a wireless base station and the access point functional unit,
wherein the notifier makes an amount of light emitted by the lamp body in a case in which the communication quality acquired by the acquirer is equal to or higher than predetermined quality different from that in a case in which the communication quality acquired by the acquirer is lower than the predetermined quality.
10. A movable vehicle, comprising:
an access point functional unit including an antenna and configured to function as an access point by wirelessly communicating with a terminal device around the vehicle; and
a notifier configured to notify surroundings that the vehicle is functioning as an access point,
wherein the notifier notifies the surroundings of the vehicle that a wireless connection has been established when the wireless connection has been established between the access point functional unit and the terminal device.
