1. A mobile device comprising:
a transceiver;
an information processing device, comprising:
a movement path creation circuit that:
creates a following path for following a second mobile device based on position information about the second mobile device, and
transmits the following path to a drive unit of an autonomous mobile object that is configured to follow the second mobile device,
wherein the movement path creation circuit:
sequentially receives first and second pieces of information about a path of the second mobile device as the second mobile device moves along the path, the first and second pieces of information about the path of the second mobile device comprising corresponding speed and direction information,
based on the sequentially received information, sets a first piece of following path position information a predetermined distance from the second mobile device, followed by setting a second piece of following path position information, the first and second pieces of following path position information comprising corresponding first and second pieces following path location and direction information,
connects the set first and second pieces of following path position information to create the following path.
