2. The server apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to

based on determining that the second specified location is identical or close to the first specified location, transmit, via the communication interface to the second terminal apparatus, a notification prompting the second user to change the second specified location, and

based on receiving, via the communication interface from the second terminal apparatus, information specifying a third specified location different from the first and second specified locations, generate a second dispatch plan to instruct a second mobile object of the at least one object to move to the third specified location by the second specified time, and transmit the second dispatch plan via the communication interface to the second mobile object.

3. The server apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to

monitor availability of the changing room of each of the at least one mobile object, and

transmit information regarding availability of each of the at least one mobile object to each of a plurality of terminal apparatuses including the first terminal apparatus and the second terminal apparatus.

4. The server apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to identify, from among the at least one mobile object, a mobile object whose current position is closest to the first specified location, as the first mobile object.

5. The server apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first specified time is determined based on a first starting time of work or a first ending time of work at a first work location of the first user; and

the second specified time is determined based on a second starting time of work or a second ending time of work at a second work location of the second user.

6. The server apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to, based on receiving, via the communication interface from the second terminal apparatus, the information accepting the first dispatch plan, execute a process to charge the first user of and the second user who share the changing room a lower fee than other users of other terminal apparatuses who do not share the changing room.

7. The server apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to, based on receiving, via the communication interface from the second terminal apparatus, the information accepting the first dispatch plan, transmit, via the communication interface to the first terminal apparatus and the second terminal apparatus, information for opening and closing a locker provided in the first mobile object.

8. A system comprising a server apparatus and at least one mobile object configured to communicate with the server apparatus and having a changing room, wherein

the server apparatus is configured to

receive a first dispatch request from a first terminal apparatus used by a first user, the first dispatch request indicating a first specified time and a first specified location which are specified by the first user,

generate, based on the first dispatch request, a first dispatch plan to instruct a first mobile object of the at least one object to move to the first specified location by the first specified time,

receive a second dispatch request from a second terminal apparatus used by a second user, the second dispatch request indicating a second specified time and a second specified location which are specified by the second user,

based on determining that there is space in the changing room of the first mobile object when the second dispatch request is received, transmit the first dispatch plan to the second terminal apparatus to prompt the second user to share the changing room of the first mobile object with the first user, and

based on receiving, from the second terminal apparatus, information accepting the first dispatch plan, transmit the first dispatch plan via the communication interface to the first mobile object, and

the first mobile object is configured to move, based on the first dispatch plan.

9. The system according to claim 8 , wherein the first specified time is determined based on a first starting time of work or a first ending time of work at a first work location of the first user, and

the second specified time is determined based on a second starting time of work or a second ending time of work at a second work location of the second user.

10. The system according to claim 8 , wherein the server apparatus is further configured to, based on receiving, from the second terminal apparatus, the information accepting the first dispatch plan, execute a process to charge the first user and the second user who share the changing room a lower fee than other users of other terminal apparatuses who do not share the changing room.

11. The system according to claim 8 , wherein the server apparatus is further configured to, based on receiving, from the second terminal apparatus, the information accepting the first dispatch plan, transmit, to the first terminal apparatus and the second terminal apparatus, information for opening and closing a locker provided in the first mobile object.

12. An operating method of a server apparatus configured to communicate with at least one mobile object that has a changing room, the operating method comprising:

receiving a first dispatch request from a first terminal apparatus used by a first user, the first dispatch request indicating a first specified time and a first specified location which are specified by the first user;

generating, based on the first dispatch request, a first dispatch plan to instruct a first mobile object of the at least one object to move to the first specified location by the first specified time;

receiving a second dispatch request from a second terminal apparatus used by a second user, the second dispatch request indicating a second specified time and a second specified location which are specified by the second user;

based on determining that there is space in the changing room of the first mobile object when the second dispatch request is received, transmitting the first dispatch plan to the second terminal apparatus to prompt the second user to share the changing room of the first mobile object with the first user; and

based on receiving, from the second terminal apparatus, information accepting the first dispatch plan, transmitting the first dispatch plan to the first mobile object.

13. The operating method according to claim 12 , wherein the first specified time is determined based on a first starting time of work or a first ending time of work at a first work location of the first user, and

the second specified time is determined based on a second starting time of work or a second ending time of work at a second work location of the second user.

14. The operating method according to claim 12 , further comprising:

based on receiving, from the second terminal apparatus, the information accepting the first dispatch plan, executing a process to charge the first user and the second user who share the changing room a lower fee than other users of other terminal apparatuses who do not share the changing room.

15. The operating method according to claim 12 , further comprising:

based on receiving, from the second terminal apparatus, the information accepting the first dispatch plan, transmitting, to the first terminal apparatus and the second terminal apparatus, information for opening and closing a locker provided in the first mobile object.
