An information processing device includes a control unit configured to: acquire information on a destination of a user who uses a resting unit including equipment on which the user is able to sleep, information on an arrival time at the destination, and information on a place in which the user uses the resting unit; transmit a command to a traveling unit configured to be coupled to the resting unit and carry the resting unit such that the traveling unit is coupled to the resting unit and arrives at the destination at the arrival time; and transmit a command to a stimulation device configured to stimulate the user who is using the resting unit such that the stimulation device is activated before the traveling unit is coupled to the resting unit or before the traveling unit departs for the destination after being coupled to the resting unit.

A navigation apparatus and a method for providing an individualization map service of the navigation apparatus are provided. The navigation apparatus includes a detector configured to sense a vehicle state and a travelling environment during travelling, and a processor configured to recognize a drive context based on the vehicle state and the travelling environment, and to make an individualization map to be serviced based on the recognized drive context.

A controller of an information processing apparatus determines whether a vehicle having a battery for driving is to enter a target area; acquires or estimates an arrival time of the vehicle at the target area and a departure time of the vehicle from the target area, in a case in which it is determined that the vehicle is to enter the target area; and adds a required charge amount of the battery to a demand for electrical energy during a target time period in the target area, in a case in which a charge time period of the battery in the target area is included in the target time period.

A server device includes a communication unit and a control unit that communicates via the communication unit. The control unit receives, from a plurality of terminal devices, requests to receive a service from one vehicle, each of the requests specifying a provision period and a provision section of the service. Of a plurality of such moving processes that the vehicle is located in the provision section during the provision period of each of one or more services, the control unit sends, to the vehicle, information instructing the vehicle to perform a moving process with a higher total score assigned to a service included in the moving process than a remainder of the moving processes.

According to one embodiment, an information processing device includes: a first memory; a first receiver; a first determination section; and a first transmitter. The first memory is configured to store first image data of interior of a vehicle at a first point in time. The first receiver is configured to receive second image data of the interior of the vehicle at a second point of time from the vehicle. The first determination section is configured to determine whether a change has been caused in the interior of the vehicle between the first point in time and the second point in time. The first transmitter is configured to transmit first data based on the determination result.

Road information of surroundings of an own vehicle is kept as latest version as possible, and road information of distant areas are updated efficiently. A map providing device according to the present invention searches for an update target portion included in a planned travel route, and also searches for an update target portion with an end point of the planned travel route being a starting point.

A server device includes a communication unit and a control unit that send and receives information to and from another device via the communication unit. The control unit receives, from a plurality of terminal devices, information indicating a boarding point at which a user of each of the terminal devices desires to board a vehicle, sends, to the vehicle, information for causing the vehicle to travel along a route via a nearby region of each of a plurality of the boarding points while satisfying a predetermined condition, and notifies the terminal devices of the route.

A system including a processor and memory may provide for automatically activating or deactivating a feature of a fleet vehicle. For example, one or more fleet vehicles may include one or more of a global-positioning system, a speed governor, electronically-controlled brakes, an electronically-controlled accelerator, a speed limiter, or an on-board computer with a processor and memory. One or more features may be activated by a local or remote computing device or system. For example, a system may determine one or more recommended routes between two or more locations. The system may track a fleet vehicle's progress along a route, and activate a feature of the fleet vehicle based on the fleet vehicle following or not following the recommended route. For example, the system may cause activation of a speed limiter on the fleet vehicle, disable the fleet vehicle, and/or activate or deactivate autonomous features of the fleet vehicle.

The described technology is generally directed towards digital map truth maintenance. Map inputs shared among multiple users of a shared overlay map service can have a range of credibility, from not credible to highly credible. The disclosed digital map truth maintenance technologies can be used to enhance credibility of shared map inputs. Credibility values can be calculated for map inputs, based on any of multiple factors. Map inputs having sufficiently high credibility, such as a credibility value determined to be above a threshold value, can be shared among multiple mobile devices.

The above measurement device acquires output data from a sensor unit for detecting surrounding feature, and extracts, from the output data, data corresponding to detection result in a predetermined range in a predetermined positional relation with an own position. The predetermined range is determined in accordance with accuracy of the own position. Then, the measurement device executes predetermined processing based on the extracted data.
