Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the invention The present disclosure relates to a parking information provision procedure. 2. Description of the related prior art A technology for analyzing the content of business negotiations is conventionally known. For example, the unexamined Japanese patent application disclosure no. 2019-28910 ( JP 2019 - 28910 A ) a dialogue analysis system that checks whether a sales representative in business negotiations with a customer communicates things that should be communicated and does not mention things that should not be mentioned. BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Information gathered during business negotiations can be analyzed using machine learning and similar technologies. When business negotiations or similar transactions are conducted concerning a vehicle, information about whether the customer can park the vehicle at the location where they intend to use it (hereinafter referred to as parking information) is crucial. However, the relevant prior art does not address the provision of parking information. That is to say, the technology for providing parking information is in need of improvement. In view of the above circumstances, one objective of the present disclosure is to improve the parking information provision technology. A parking information provision method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is a parking information provision procedure performed by an information processing unit, wherein the procedure comprises Obtaining information about a vehicle model requested by a customer and information about a planned parking location; Determine whether the vehicle model requested by the customer can be parked at the planned parking location, based on information about the vehicle model, information about the planned parking location, and a database containing vehicle model and parking location information; and Presenting the results of the determination. According to the embodiment described in the present disclosure, the parking information provision technology is improved. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Features, advantages and technical and industrial significance of embodiments of the invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which the same symbols denote the same elements and in which: 1 a block diagram that represents a schematic configuration of a system according to an exemplary embodiment; and 2 A flowchart is a diagram that shows the operations of an information processing facility. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EXECUTION EXAMPLES An embodiment of the present disclosure is described below. A sketch and a configuration of a system 1 according to the present embodiment are provided with reference to 1 described. System 1 according to the present embodiment comprises an information processing unit 10 and an end-device unit 20. The information processing unit 10 is, for example, a server unit installed in a data center or the like. The end-device unit 20 is any unit used by a user. These units are interconnected via a network 30, such as the internet or similar. It should be noted that 1 Although each represents an information processing unit 10 and a terminal device 20, the system 1 can comprise a large number of such units. First, the present embodiment is described in broad outline, and details are explained later. A parking information provision method according to the present embodiment is executed by the information processing unit 10. The information processing unit 10 obtains information about a vehicle model requested by a customer and information about a planned parking location. Based on the vehicle model information, the information about the planned parking location, and a database containing vehicle model and parking location information, the information processing unit 10 also determines whether the vehicle model requested by the customer can be parked at the planned parking location. Section 10 then presents the results of the determination. According to the present embodiment, the information processing unit 10 determines, based on the vehicle model information, the information about the planned parking location, and the database containing vehicle model and parking location information, whether the vehicle model requested by the customer can be parked at the planned parking location, and presents the results of this determination. This improves the parking information provision technology in that it can provide information about whether the vehicle can be parked at the planned location, which is important in business negotiations concerning vehicles. The following section describes in detail each configuration of the information processing unit 10 and the terminal equipment 20. As in 1 As shown, the information processing unit 10 comprises a control unit 11, a storage unit 12, an input unit 13, an output unit 14, and a communication unit 15. The control unit 11 comprises at least one
