METHOD FOR OPERATING AUTONOMOUS MOBILE BODY

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method with which a vehicle allocation service can be properly carried out for a user who desires to use an autonomous mobile body.SOLUTION: A method for operating an autonomous mobile body includes: a first step (STEP 3) of moving an autonomous mobile body 1 so as to bring the autonomous mobile body 1 to be used close to a person who desires to use the autonomous mobile body 1 on the basis of information on the position of the person who desires to use the autonomous mobile body; a second step (STEP 3) of specifying the person who desires to use the autonomous mobile body from the periphery of the autonomous mobile body 1 to be used on the basis of identification information on the person who desires to use the autonomous mobile body; and a third step (STEPS 5, 6) of causing the autonomous mobile body 1 to be used to perform either one of operations of time-lapse change patterns different from each other depending on whether the identification of the person who desires to use the autonomous mobile body is successful or failed.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4 【課題】自律移動体の利用を希望する利用者への配車サービスを適切に行うことができる方法を提供する。【解決手段】自律移動体１の利用を希望する利用希望者の位置情報に基づいて、利用希望者に利用対象の自律移動体１を近づけるように自律移動体１の移動を行う第１ステップ（ＳＴＥＰ３）と、前記利用希望者の識別情報に基づいて、前記利用対象の自律移動体１の周辺から前記利用希望者を特定する第２ステップ（ＳＴＥＰ３）と、利用希望者を特定できた場合と、特定できなかった場合とで、利用対象の自律移動体１に互いに異なる経時変化パターンの動作を行わせる第３ステップ（ＳＴＥＰ５，６）とを備える。【選択図】図４
