INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18483527 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The information processing method described in the abstract involves using an information processing apparatus to determine a first vehicle, which is either a battery electric vehicle under energy charging or a fuel cell electric vehicle under energy fueling, as a delivery center. The method then commands a second vehicle to pick up a package from the first vehicle and deliver it.
- The method involves determining a delivery center vehicle and instructing another vehicle to pick up and deliver a package.
- The first vehicle can be either a battery electric vehicle or a fuel cell electric vehicle.
- The second vehicle is commanded to pick up the package from the first vehicle and deliver it.
