  • Patent number: 11250275
    Abstract: An information processing system is equipped with at least one vehicle and a server that can communicate with the at least one vehicle. The vehicle acquires an image obtained by imaging a landscape outside the vehicle, a humidity outside the vehicle, and an imaging position of the image. The vehicle or the server generates floating substance information on an atmospheric floating substance around the vehicle, based on the image and the humidity. The server stores at least one pair of the floating substance information and the imaging position corresponding thereto, and provides information to a client through the use of the at least one pair of the stored floating substance information and the stored imaging position corresponding thereto.
