INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18302363 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an information processing apparatus that can accurately integrate maps while maintaining the freedom of movement in creating the map.
- The apparatus acquires map data based on the movement of a movable apparatus.
- It also acquires characteristic information that identifies a specific region of the movement route.
- The characteristic information is recorded along with the map data.
- The apparatus compares the characteristic information at a specific point in time with previously recorded characteristic information to recognize common regions.
- Based on the recognized common regions, the apparatus integrates multiple pieces of map data.
Original Abstract Submitted
An information processing apparatus capable of integrating maps with high accuracy while maintaining the degree of freedom of the movement route in map creation, acquires map data generated in accordance with movement of a movable apparatus, acquires characteristic information for identifying a partial region of a movement route of the movable apparatus, records the characteristic information in association with the map data, recognizes a common region by comparing the characteristic information recorded in association with the map data at a predetermined point in time with a plurality of pieces of the characteristic information recorded in association with the map data prior to the predetermined point in time, and integrates a plurality of pieces of the map data on the basis of the recognized common region.
