INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, COMPUTER READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM, AND MAP DATA UPDATING SYSTEM
First Claim
1. An information processing device, comprising:
- a difference registration unit that associates (A) difference information indicating a difference between (a) a position of a moving object measured based on a satellite signal transmitted from a positioning satellite and (b) a travelling position of the moving object on map data identified based on (i) at least one of the position of the moving object or external environment information indicating an environment of surroundings of the moving object and (ii) the map data, with (B) position information indicating at least one of the position of the moving object or the travelling position, and stores the associated information in a difference database; and
an update information setting unit that, for each item of the position information, sets information indicating whether or not the map data, which is associated with the item of position information, is to be updated, based on the difference information associated with the position information stored in the difference database.

Abstract
A position measurement section of an on-board device measures a position of a vehicle. A travelling position identification section identifies a travelling position of the vehicle on map data based on the measured position of the vehicle and the map data. Then, a position error measurement section computes error information indicating the difference between the measured position of the vehicle and travelling position. Then, a communications section transmits the error information and the position information to a server. A communication section of the server receives the transmitted error information and position information. An error registration section stores the error information in an error database in association with the received position information. Then, for each respective item of position information, a priority level setting section sets a priority level corresponding to the position information based on the error information stored in the error database.
