CONTROL DEVICE, CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18318856 titled 'CONTROL DEVICE, CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a control device that can be mounted on a movable apparatus. Here are the key points:
- The control device includes a position information acquisition unit that collects position information of the movable apparatus.
- A position information notification unit informs an information processing device about the acquired position information.
- A distribution connection area acquisition unit obtains distribution connection area information from the information processing device, which corresponds to the notified position information.
- A transmission unit sends a subscription registration or cancellation request to the information processing device based on the distribution connection area and the position information.
- A reception unit receives published messages from the information processing device in response to the transmitted request.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Tracking and monitoring the position of movable apparatus such as vehicles, drones, or robots.
- Enabling communication and data exchange between the control device and an information processing device.
- Facilitating remote control and management of the movable apparatus.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Provides a means to acquire and share accurate position information of a movable apparatus.
- Enables efficient communication and coordination between the control device and an information processing device.
- Simplifies the process of subscribing or unsubscribing to specific areas of interest.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved tracking and monitoring capabilities for movable apparatus.
- Enhanced communication and data exchange between devices.
- Streamlined management and control of movable apparatus.
Original Abstract Submitted
A control device mountable on a movable apparatus includes a position information acquisition unit configured to acquire position information of the movable apparatus, a position information notification unit configured to notify an information processing device of the position information acquired by the position information acquisition unit, a distribution connection area acquisition unit configured to acquire, from the information processing device, distribution connection area information corresponding to the position information notified by the position information notification unit, a transmission unit configured to transmit any one of a subscription registration request and a subscription cancellation request to the information processing device on the basis of an area indicated by the distribution connection area information acquired by the distribution connection area acquisition unit and a position indicated by the position information acquired by the position information acquisition unit, and a reception unit configured to receive a published message transmitted from the information processing device in response to the request transmitted by the transmission unit.
