INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240230352 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an information processing apparatus that can generate a route avoiding flooded areas based on weather and altitude information.

  • Acquires weather and altitude information for a specific area.
  • Calculates a route that avoids potential flooding based on the acquired data.
  • Provides the calculated route for each future time point from the departure time.

Key Features and Innovation

  • Utilizes weather and altitude data to determine a safe route.
  • Helps avoid potential flooding in the event of a water disaster.
  • Provides routes for multiple future time points from the departure time.

Potential Applications

This technology could be used in navigation systems for vehicles, emergency response planning, and disaster management systems.

Problems Solved

  • Helps prevent accidents and damage caused by flooding.
  • Improves safety and efficiency in route planning.

Benefits

  • Enhances safety for travelers.
  • Reduces the risk of getting stranded in flooded areas.
  • Optimizes route planning for various scenarios.

Commercial Applications

  • Navigation systems for vehicles.
  • Emergency response and disaster management systems.
  • Weather forecasting and monitoring applications.

Questions about the Technology

1. How does the technology acquire and process weather and altitude information to calculate safe routes? 2. What are the potential limitations or challenges of using this technology in real-world scenarios?

Frequently Updated Research

There may be ongoing research in the fields of weather forecasting, disaster management, and route optimization that could impact the development and application of this technology.


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.
