To provide a technique that can shorten time required in delivering a printed matter by a flight moving body.SOLUTION: Image forming devices 101 that can collaborate with a flight moving body comprise a communication part 406, a printing part 401, a memorizing part 409 that memorizes position information on a plurality of seats, position information on the plurality of image forming devices 101 and movement speed of the flight moving body, and a control part 404. The control part 404 acquires information on a delivery destination from a received printing job, receives position information from the flight moving body 102, reads out the position information on a seat of the delivery destination and the position information on the plurality of image forming devices 101 from the memorizing part 409, calculates movement time of the flight moving body 102 on the basis of the position information on the seat of the delivery destination, the position information on the plurality of image forming devices 101 and the movement speed of and position information on the flight moving body 102, transfers the printing job to the other image forming device 101 so that time of delivering by the flight moving body 102 becomes minimum, on the basis of the calculated result, and transmits information concerning the other image forming device 101 to the flight moving body 102.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
【課題】飛行移動体による印刷物の配達時間を短縮する技術を提供する。【解決手段】飛行移動体と連携可能な画像形成装置101は、通信部406と、印刷部401と、複数の座席の位置情報、複数の画像形成装置101の位置情報及び飛行移動体の移動速度を記憶する記憶部409と、制御部404とを備える。制御部404は、受信した印刷ジョブから配達先情報を取得し、飛行移動体102から位置情報を受信し、記憶部409から配達先の座席の位置情報と、複数の画像形成装置101の位置情報とを読み出し、配達先の座席の位置情報と、複数の画像形成装置101の位置情報と、飛行移動体102の移動速度及び位置情報とに基づいて、飛行移動体102の移動時間を算出し、算出結果に基づいて、飛行移動体102の配達時間が最小となるように他の画像形成装置101に印刷ジョブを転送し、飛行移動体102に他の画像形成装置101に関する情報を送信する。【選択図】図1
