An information processing method, an information processing system, an information processing device, and an information terminal of the present invention, accepts a destination for the vehicle, then searches for the travel route to the destination and sets as a first travel route, and sets a travel start time to start traveling on the first travel route. Then, vehicle information is acquired for the vehicle in advance of the travel start time by a prescribed time after the setting of the first travel route; and a travel route to the destination is searched again and a second travel route is set based on the vehicle information.

An information processing apparatus includes an accumulation unit that accumulates history information regarding a flight history of an aircraft. A specification unit, based on the history information accumulated by the accumulation unit, specifies a candidate to be an operation assistant who assists an operation planned by an assisted operator. An output unit outputs information regarding the candidate to be the operation assistant specified by the specification unit.

The present disclosure discloses a map display method performed at a terminal. The method includes: obtaining a real scene image of a current location and target navigation data of navigation from the current location to a destination; determining, according to the current location and the target navigation data, virtual navigation prompt information to be overlaid in the real scene image; determining, according to a device configuration parameter of a target device capturing the real scene image, a first location on which the virtual navigation prompt information is overlaid in the real scene image; performing verification detection on the current device configuration parameter; and overlaying the virtual navigation prompt information on the first location when the current device configuration parameter passes through the verification detection. According to the present disclosure, an AR technology is applied to the navigation field so that map display manners are more diverse and diversified.

[Object] To provide an information processing apparatus, a control method, and a program, which are capable of automatically sharing position information in accordance with schedule information on an appointment.

[Solution] An information processing apparatus including: an acquisition unit configured to acquire schedule information on an appointment between a plurality of users; and a controller configured to perform control in a manner that pieces of current position information of the plurality of users are shared a predetermined time period before an appointment time included in the schedule information.

A mapping system allows a user to interact with any location on a digital map and present the user with location related information associated with the selected location. The location related information may be in the form or a card, pop-up, image, or other graphic and may be displayed on the map at or near the selected location, around the map, etc. The displayed location related information may include predetermined or pre-stored data about the location or may include location related information collected and generated on the fly in response to the user interaction with the digital map. The displayed location related information may be displayed in the same graphical format on the digital map regardless of whether location related information is predetermined information about the location that already exists or information that is collected and generated on the fly in response to the user interaction.

A position estimation unit 25 estimates, for each movement in a predetermined section, a plurality of position candidates of a position estimation target on the basis of position information and sensor information. A position determination unit 26 evaluates, for each movement in the predetermined section, on the basis of the plurality of position candidates of the position estimation target obtained by the movement in the predetermined section, whether the position information used to estimate the position candidates has an error caused by any of a position of a GPS satellite, a position of a mobile body in a real space, or the mobile body or does not have any error caused thereby. The position determination unit 26 determines a final output value of the position of the position estimation target on the basis of a result obtained by removing, from the plurality of estimated position candidates of the position estimation target in the plurality of times of the movement in the predetermined section, a position candidate of the position estimation target estimated in the movement in the predetermined section that has been evaluated to have the error.

An information processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present technology includes a first acquisition section, a setting section, a storage, and a display controller. The first acquisition section acquires map information. On the basis of designation of a region that is performed by a user, the setting section sets a content region with which content data is associated. The storage stores therein the set content region and the map information in a state of being associated with each other. The display controller causes the content region to be superimposed on the map information to be displayed. This makes it possible to easily create content that uses position information.

An entry point and an exit point are specified in a non-lane section. A lane definition line is searched to be continuous in a longitudinal direction of the road from the entry point to the exit point. A virtual lane marking line is generated to connect between the lane marking line on an entry side and the lane marking line on an exit side, based on the lane definition line detected as a search result. A travelling track is generated as a trajectory on which a vehicle is scheduled to travel, based on the virtual lane marking line.

Provided are an environmental map management apparatus, an environmental map management method, and a program that can correct an environmental map to achieve an accurate association between the environmental map and a map indicated by given map data provided by a given map service. A common environmental map data storage unit (64) stores environmental map data that is generated based on sensing data acquired by a tracker and that indicates an environmental map. A pattern identification unit (68) identifies a predetermined pattern in the environmental map on the basis of the environmental map data. A corresponding element identification unit (70) identifies a linear element that appears in a map indicated by given map data provided by a given map service and that is associated with the predetermined pattern. A common environmental map data update unit (72) updates the environmental map data on the basis of a location of the linear element in the map indicated by the given map data.

A method and system for generating a location identifier using a location code and a grid coordinate. The location code corresponds to a defined geographical area, such as a postal code or an area code. A grid coordinate can be determined based on destination location information, such as an address, a GPS-determined position, or other reference to a specific physical location. The location identifier is combined with the location code to generate a location identifier, which can be encoded in a computer readable format and placed on items for use in a distribution network. The location identifier can be used to facilitate domestic or international distribution of items using a common format or addressing scheme. The domestic and foreign distribution networks read and interpret location identifiers in order to deliver items.
