Abstract

In a display system, each of a plurality of sensor terminals estimates first information based on accumulated first measurement data and transmits the first information to a display device. The display device synchronizes a received plurality of kinds of the first information at time and classifies the plurality of kinds of first information into a plurality of first information groups, estimates, based on position information of the plurality of sensor terminals and the first information included in each of the first information groups, updates the first information group, generates, for each of the updated plurality of first information groups, based on map information including a region where a structure is located, image information including a distribution of values of the first information on a map, and displays an image based on the image information.
