INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE AND SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240160432 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE AND SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The information processing device described in the patent application is designed to construct a traffic digital twin that mirrors real-world traffic conditions in a virtual space. This is achieved by receiving data from multiple devices and updating the digital twin based on information acquired from an application.

  • The acquisition unit gathers information on service provision from an application.
  • The setting unit establishes an update cycle for refreshing the traffic digital twin using the acquired information.
  • The communication unit receives data from various devices according to the update cycle set by the setting unit.

Potential Applications

The technology could be applied in urban planning, transportation management, and smart city initiatives to improve traffic flow and optimize infrastructure.

Problems Solved

This innovation addresses the challenge of accurately modeling and simulating real-time traffic conditions in a virtual environment, allowing for better decision-making and resource allocation.

Benefits

- Enhanced traffic management and control - Improved urban planning and infrastructure development - Increased efficiency in transportation systems

Potential Commercial Applications

"Optimizing Traffic Flow in Smart Cities: Commercial Applications of Traffic Digital Twin Technology"

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to traffic simulation software, urban planning tools, and smart city technologies that aim to improve traffic management and infrastructure planning.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology handle data privacy and security concerns?

The patent abstract does not mention how the information processing device ensures the privacy and security of the data received from multiple devices.

What is the scalability of this technology for large urban areas?

It is unclear from the abstract how well this technology can scale to handle the complexities of traffic management in densely populated urban areas.


Original Abstract Submitted
