INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18400364 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an information processing device that calculates the delivery company burden for each combination of target parcels and a mobile object, based on various types of information such as mobile object information, parcel information, pickup delivery information, map information, weather information, and traffic information. The device then determines the optimum combination out of multiple combinations and outputs it.
- Acquisition unit acquires mobile object information, parcel information, pickup delivery information, map information, weather information, and traffic information.
- Calculation control unit calculates the delivery company burden for each combination of target parcels and a mobile object.
- Determination unit determines the optimum combination based on the delivery company burden calculated for each combination.
- Output unit outputs the optimum combination.
