  • Patent number: 9520067
    Abstract: Provided is an air traffic control assistance system whereby it is possible to display the reliability of an avoidance recommendation over time in a manner which is easily understood by an air traffic controller. For each combination of link information of an aircraft of interest and link information of an aircraft in the vicinity thereof, a graphic identification unit identifies a graphic which represents a prescribed range which is defined by the aircraft in the vicinity thereof, in a plane which includes a three-dimensional vector which is represented by the link information of the aircraft of interest and which is perpendicular to the x-y plane.

  • Publication number: 20160301497
    Abstract: A communication unit (2020) performs directly wireless communicates with a portable terminal (3000). A collection information acquisition unit (2040) acquires collection information. A division transmission unit (2060) generates multiple pieces of partial collection information by dividing the collection information, and transmits pieces of partial collection information being different from each other to multiple portable terminals (3000). A redundancy transmission unit (2080) transmits the same collection information to the multiple portable terminals (3000). An index value acquisition unit (2100) acquires any one or two of a reliability index value and a capacity index value of the portable terminal (3000). Based on any one or two of the reliability index value and the capacity index value of each portable terminal (3000), a transmission control unit (2120) selects the division transmission unit (2060) or the redundancy transmission unit (2080) to perform the transmission.

  • Publication number: 20150127295
    Abstract: There is provided a moving-body-abnormal-nearing detection system capable of determining whether abnormal nearing between moving bodies will occur in a short processing time. A projection matrix calculation means 71 calculates a first projection matrix indicating mapping from a 3D space onto a 2D plane based on period information of a first moving body and period information of a second moving body. An abnormal nearing determination means 72 maps the period information of the first moving body to a line segment in the 2D plane by use of the first projection matrix. It then determines whether abnormal nearing between the first moving body and the second moving body will occur by determining how a circle whose center is a passage position of the second moving body and whose radius takes a threshold as a determination standard as to whether abnormal nearing will occur crosses with the line segment.

  • Publication number: 20150073690
    Abstract: There is provided a movement-measurement-processing system capable of quickly specifying a peripheral aircraft which can abnormally near to an aircraft of interest. A peripheral aircraft selection means 74 maps a region in a 3D space defined by a start point of period information of the aircraft of interest, a point having the coordinate values of passage position coordinates at an end point of the period information and a lower limit arrival time, and a point having the coordinate values of passage position coordinates at the end point of the period information and an upper limit arrival time onto a 2D plane by use of a first projection matrix. The peripheral aircraft selection means 74 then selects a peripheral aircraft which can abnormally near to the aircraft of interest by determining how the resultant region crosses with a circle whose center is a passage position of the peripheral aircraft and whose radius is a determination standard threshold as to whether abnormal nearing will occur.

  • Patent number: 7336274
    Abstract: A position related information presentation method, and corresponding system and recording medium storing a corresponding program are provided. The method includes a number of steps. With respect to a display of area information related to a position indicated by data of a three-dimensional map superimposed on the data of the three-dimensional map, information is detected on superimposing of one object on another in a predetermined angle range centered on the moving direction from the current position. Related area information is searched for from the area information using information on superimposing of one object on another. The area information is searched for based on input/output keywords. A path is searched for from the current position to the position specified by the searched area information, wherein a guide to the position specified by the area information is displayed based on this search result.

  • Publication number: 20060092155
    Abstract: To provide a position related information presentation system that allows a user to experience as if the user had actually walked round and collected information about an area. A 3D map/information superimposed displaying portion reads 3D map data from a 3D map storing portion and displays area information such as town information related to the area displayed on the 3D map superimposed on the 3D map to the user. When the user changes a display of the 3D map by using a display change inputting portion, a position information searching portion searches for information related to a new display position from an area information storing portion. About the display of the area information superimposed on the 3D map, the field of view determining portion detects superimposing of one object on another such as buildings when viewed from the current position of the user using the map of the map database.

  • Patent number: 5907829
    Abstract: A schedule management system is provided in which a requested task is not unconditionally accepted by the requesting schedule management system. The requested task may be accepted by the user's schedule management system by negotiating for the conditions under which the task will be completed so that the requested work can be allocated and accepted by mutual agreement between the schedule management systems of the requester and the requestee. The user's (requestee's) schedule management system negotiates for acceptable work conditions by evaluating the work load of the user based on the recorded personal schedule and calculating an acceptable completion day of the requested task. The requesting schedule management system then allocates the requested task to the user whose schedule management system is most likely to complete the task closest to the requested deadline based on the negotiation conditions transmitted from a plurality of user schedule management systems.
