INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18364038 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an information processing apparatus that determines a travel route for a vehicle in a facility based on operation information on disaster prevention equipment and first image information of the facility's passageways, along with vehicle position information.

  • The information processing apparatus uses operation information on disaster prevention equipment and first image information captured by an imaging apparatus to determine a travel route for a vehicle.
  • The apparatus also utilizes vehicle position information to accurately determine the vehicle's position within the facility.
  • A communication interface is used to transmit the travel route information to the vehicle, ensuring the vehicle follows the designated route.
      1. Potential Applications
  • This technology can be applied in automated guided vehicles (AGVs) within manufacturing facilities to optimize travel routes and ensure safety.
  • It can also be used in autonomous vehicles in indoor environments such as hospitals or warehouses.
      1. Problems Solved
  • Ensures efficient and safe navigation of vehicles within facilities by utilizing disaster prevention equipment information and real-time imaging data.
  • Helps prevent collisions and accidents by providing accurate travel route information to vehicles.
      1. Benefits
  • Increases efficiency in facility operations by optimizing travel routes for vehicles.
  • Enhances safety for both vehicles and personnel within the facility by utilizing disaster prevention equipment information.
  • Enables real-time adjustments to travel routes based on changing conditions within the facility.


Original Abstract Submitted

An information processing apparatus configured to determine a travel route for a vehicle traveling in a facility, the information processing apparatus includes a controller configured to determine the travel route for the vehicle based on operation information on disaster prevention equipment installed in the facility and/or first image information including an image of a passageway in the facility, the image being captured by an imaging apparatus installed in the facility, and vehicle position information indicating a position of the vehicle, and a communication interface configured to transmit, to the vehicle, travel route information indicating the travel route.
