INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240110803 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an information processing apparatus that prioritizes roads that are easy for a particular truck to travel on by avoiding difficult roads based on the travel history of one or more trucks.

  • The controller extracts difficult roads for a specific truck based on historical data.
  • The apparatus generates route guidance that avoids at least one of the extracted difficult roads.
  • The system prioritizes easy-to-travel roads for the particular truck.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in:

  • Trucking and logistics companies to optimize routes for specific vehicles.
  • Navigation systems for trucks to provide customized route guidance.

Problems Solved

This technology solves:

  • Inefficient routing for trucks that may encounter difficulties on certain roads.
  • Lack of personalized route guidance for specific types of vehicles.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include:

  • Improved efficiency and cost-effectiveness for trucking companies.
  • Enhanced safety by avoiding roads that are challenging for specific trucks.

Potential Commercial Applications

  • "Optimizing Truck Routes for Efficiency and Safety"

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be traditional navigation systems that provide route guidance based on general vehicle specifications rather than specific truck travel histories.

Unanswered Questions

How does the apparatus determine which roads are difficult for a particular truck?

The abstract does not provide details on the specific criteria or algorithms used to identify challenging roads for a specific truck based on its travel history.

What types of trucks or vehicles can benefit from this technology?

The abstract does not specify if the technology is tailored for a particular type of truck or if it can be applied to various types of vehicles with different capabilities and limitations.


Original Abstract Submitted

an information processing apparatus includes a controller configured to extract roads that are difficult for a particular truck to travel based on a travel history of one or more trucks and generate route guidance such that roads that are easy for the particular truck to travel are given priority by avoiding at least one road among the extracted roads.
