1. A pedestrian device carried by a pedestrian who is a user of a mobile body with autonomous movement capability, the device comprising:
a communication device configured to transmit and receive information to and from a terminal device mounted in the mobile body;
a short-range communication device configured to perform short-range communications with a wearable device; and
a controller configured to determine if there is a risk of collision between the mobile body and the pedestrian based on the information received from the terminal device, and when necessary, perform control so as to provide an alert to the pedestrian,
wherein the controller is configured to:
acquire position data of a sight focusing location at which the user looks with attention, as position data of a target location; and
cause the communication device to transmit the position data of the target location to the terminal device mounted in the mobile body used by the user, thereby causing the terminal device to perform control so as to move the mobile body to the target location;
wherein the wearable device is configured to be worn on the user's body and detect a sight focusing status of the user, and
wherein the controller acquires the position data of the sight focusing location from the wearable device.
