INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18519304 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an information processing apparatus that acquires images from multiple image capturing units in passenger waiting regions to generate car allocation information for taxis.
- Image acquisition unit acquires images from image capturing units in passenger waiting regions.
- Generation unit processes images to generate car allocation information for taxis.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in taxi dispatch systems to efficiently allocate taxis to passengers waiting in different regions.
Problems Solved
1. Efficient allocation of taxis to passengers in various waiting regions. 2. Streamlining the taxi dispatch process based on real-time image data.
Benefits
1. Improved taxi service for passengers. 2. Optimization of taxi fleet utilization. 3. Enhanced efficiency in taxi dispatch operations.
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing taxi dispatch services for ride-sharing companies. SEO Optimized Title: "Commercial Applications of Image-Based Taxi Allocation System"
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of GPS data to allocate taxis to passengers in different regions. However, the use of image processing for car allocation in specific waiting areas may be a novel approach.
Unanswered Questions
The patent application does not provide details on how privacy concerns related to image capturing in public areas are addressed.
What is the scalability of this technology in large urban areas with high taxi demand?
The patent application does not discuss the scalability of the system in handling high volumes of taxi requests in densely populated areas.
Original Abstract Submitted
An information processing apparatus includes an image acquisition unit that acquires an image from each of a plurality of image capturing units being provided for each of a plurality of passenger waiting regions where a person waiting for a taxi exists, the plurality of image capturing units each having an image capturing range, and the image capturing ranges of the plurality of image capturing units including the plurality of passenger waiting regions in an image capturing range, respectively, and a generation unit that by processing the image, generates car allocation information of a taxi for the plurality of passenger waiting regions.
