  • Publication number: 20220230105
    Abstract: A control unit in an information processing apparatus acquires information on a congestion situation of a target facility, and acquires information on whether a user has a visit history to the target facility. Then, the control unit in the information processing apparatus determines, based on whose visit the target facility prioritizes between a visit of a first visitor and a visit of a second visitor, whether the user has the visit history to the target facility, and the information on the congestion situation of the target facility, a method of displaying the congestion situation of the target facility on a terminal. Here, the first visitor is a visitor who has not visited the target facility. Further, the second visitor is a visitor who has visited the facility. Further, the terminal is a terminal associated with the user.

  • Patent number: 10393536
    Abstract: A probe information storing unit is provided to store therein probe information items of a vehicle, and a voxel storing unit is provided to store therein voxels, which are defined and later described, in association with position information of the respective voxels. The voxels are defined in a three-dimensional space based on map data. The voxel storing unit and the probe information storing unit are referred to, and the probe information items are given, as votes, to the voxels that correspond to position information of the respective probe information items. A statistical process is executed to the probe information items given to each of the voxels, and the process results are associated with the respective voxels.
