[Object] To provide an information processing system and a control method which are capable of generating more optimal guidance information in view of a relationship of a plurality of users.

[Solution] Provided is an information processing system, including: a user specifying unit configured to specify a plurality of users who are performing an action together; an estimating unit configured to estimate a relationship of the plurality of specified users; and a generating unit configured to generate guidance information for the plurality of users in accordance with the estimated relationship of the plurality of users.

A method for creating precision agriculture data maps utlilizing one or more hand-carried or vehicle transported mobile sensors that feed various types of agriculture-related soil and plant measurements into a mobile processing device that has software that automatically plots the data geospatially and contours the data readings in color-coded or shaded gradients that can be displayed in layers and that can be saved and compared over time.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for identifying a paddle region. One of these method includes generating a map of a paddle region for a paddler of an aquatic device based on weather, nautical conditions, experience level of the paddler, and the duration of the trip; and presenting the map to the user on a computer device.

A management device includes a ticket issuance unit that issues a ticket indicating work related to a construction site, a position information acquisition unit that acquires position information of a communication terminal acquiring the ticket, and an output unit that outputs the position information of the communication terminal selecting the ticket regarding the same construction site among the position information acquired by the position information acquisition unit.

The systems, methods, and apparatuses described herein provide integrated weather forecast products designed to assist operations managers with operational decision-making related to a designated event or set of events. The present disclosure provides a way to process weather data from various sources and in diverse data formats containing varying spatial resolutions and temporal resolutions, in order to generate an integrated and cohesive weather projection product such that the weather projection product is continuous in both spatial and temporal domains, subject to data availability, relative to a designated event or set of events.

A navigation device includes a route searching unit for searching for a route leading to an arbitrary point on the basis of map data acquired by a map data acquiring unit, an HOV lane determining unit for determining whether or not an HOV lane is included in the route which the route searching unit has searched for, a predicted arrival time calculating unit for, when the HOV lane determining unit determines that an HOV lane is included in the route, calculating a predicted arrival time required to arrive at the arbitrary point by way of the route which is shorter than a time required to arrive at the arbitrary point by way of a route in which no HOV lane is included, and a display processing unit for displaying the predicted arrival time calculated by the predicted arrival time calculating unit.

Near real-time imagery of a given location may be provided to user upon request. Most popularly viewed geographic locations are determined, and a 360 degree image capture device is positioned at one or more of the determined locations. The image capture device may continually provide image information, which is processed, for example, to remove personal information and filter spam. Such image information may then be provided to users upon request. The image capture device continually captures multiple views of the given location, and the requesting user can select which perspective to view.

A system includes a scouting vehicle. The scouting vehicle includes a spatial location system configured to derive a geographic position of the scouting vehicle. The scouting vehicle further includes a computing device communicatively coupled to the spatial location system and to a communication system, the computing device comprising a processor configured to create a shape on a map based on a drive of the scouting vehicle. The scouting vehicle also includes the communication system configured to transmit the geographic position, a recording of the drive, the shape, or a combination thereof, to a base station.

A method, system, and computer program product for displaying a map to guide a user in a venue is provided. The method comprises generating a first view comprising a map of at least one floor of the venue with one or more cartographic elements representing positions of one or more floor connectors in the at least one floor. The method further comprises causing display of the first view on a display unit of a user device. The method further comprises receiving a user selection of one of the one or more cartographic elements via the display unit. The method further comprises generating a second view comprising at least one graphic element to indicate one or more possible directions of movement via the floor connector. The method further comprises causing display of the second view on the display unit of the user device.

A tile map service (TMS) device and method are provided. The TMS device includes a storage configured to store map layers that have different map types, map data of an image tile form having a level of detail (LOD) structure of each of the map layers, and a tile map in which image tile maps of a plurality of map layers are merged; a communicator configured to receive map request information including two or more map types, an LOD level, and arbitrary map coordinates from a client; and a provider configured to provide a tile map corresponding to the map request information to the client.
