INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE: abstract simplified (18190110)

• This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18190110 Titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an information processing system that consists of a server and an electronic device. The electronic device has various components such as a communication unit, a position detector, and an information acquiring unit. The information acquiring unit collects position information and error information from other electronic devices. The determining unit analyzes this information to determine if the electronic device is surrounded by other devices and in a specific state. If it meets these criteria, the transmission control unit sends correction information to the server. The server then uses this information to correct the position of the electronic device.

Original Abstract Submitted

The information processing system includes a server and an electronic device. The electronic device includes a communicating unit; a position detector detecting a position; an information acquiring unit acquiring position information for each of a plurality of other electronic devices and error information that indicates an error in the position information; a determining unit determining whether the electronic device is surrounded by the plurality of other electronic devices, and determining whether the electronic device is in a specific state; and a transmission control unit transmitting correction information that includes the position and the position information to the server when the electronic device is determined to be surrounded by the plurality of other electronic devices and to be in the specific state. The server corrects the position of the electronic device based on the correction information.
