INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18398157 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD
The abstract of the patent application describes an information processing apparatus that can generate a route based on weather information and altitude data to avoid potential flooding in the event of a water disaster.
- The processor acquires weather information and altitude data for a specific area.
- Based on this information, the processor calculates a route that avoids areas prone to flooding.
- The processor can generate multiple routes for different future time points from the departure time.
Potential Applications: - Navigation systems for vehicles and drones - Emergency response planning for natural disasters - Outdoor recreational activities such as hiking and biking
Problems Solved: - Avoiding potential flooding during water disasters - Enhancing safety and efficiency of travel routes - Providing real-time weather and altitude data for route planning
Benefits: - Minimizing the risk of accidents and damage during water disasters - Optimizing travel routes for safety and convenience - Improving overall navigation and route planning capabilities
Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Route Planning System for Disaster Avoidance" This technology can be used in GPS navigation systems for vehicles, drones, and emergency response vehicles. It can also be integrated into outdoor adventure apps for hikers and bikers to ensure safe and efficient route planning.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the processor acquire and process weather information and altitude data? - The processor uses sensors or data feeds to gather real-time weather information and altitude data for the specified area. 2. Can the system adapt to changing weather conditions in real-time? - The system can continuously update the route based on changing weather patterns and altitude data to ensure safety and efficiency.
Original Abstract Submitted
An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to acquire, for a first area including a range from a departure point to a destination, first information related to weather and second information related to a point having lower altitude above sea level than a surrounding area, and acquire, based on the first information and the second information on the first area, a first route that is a route from the departure point to the destination and that avoids a point that may be flooded in the event of a water disaster, and output the first route. The processor acquires the first route for each of the one or more future time points from the departure time.
