INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18514024 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for route setting using an environment map and selected waypoints.
- An information processing device acquires an environment map.
- The device selects a point as a waypoint on the map.
- Route setting coordinate points are determined based on the positional relationship between multiple coordinate points near the selected waypoint.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in:
- Navigation systems for vehicles or drones.
- Outdoor adventure apps for hiking or biking routes.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the following problems:
- Efficient route planning in complex environments.
- Simplifying the process of setting waypoints for navigation.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include:
- Improved accuracy in route setting.
- Time-saving in planning routes.
- Enhanced user experience in navigation apps.
Potential Commercial Applications
The technology could be commercially applied in:
- GPS navigation devices.
- Fitness tracking apps.
- Mapping software for outdoor activities.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be traditional GPS navigation systems that require manual input of waypoints for route planning.
Unanswered Questions
How does the technology handle real-time changes in the environment map?
The patent application does not specify how the system adapts to dynamic changes in the environment map during route setting.
What is the accuracy of the route setting coordinate points determined by the system?
The level of precision or margin of error in the coordinate points generated by the system is not detailed in the patent application.
Original Abstract Submitted
To perform route setting with a simple operation using an environment map, an information processing device acquires an environment map, acquires a selected point selected as a waypoint of a route on the environment map, and determines route setting coordinate points used for route setting on the basis of a positional relationship between a plurality of coordinate points in the vicinity of the selected point in the environment map.
