Abstract

An information processing system includes a center server, a first moving object that performs communication with the center server, and a second moving object that performs communication with the center server. The first moving object includes a submission information acquisition unit that acquires submission information related to a travel guiding, and a submission information transmission unit that transmits the submission information to the center server. The center server includes a guiding information accumulation unit that accumulates guiding information which is based on the submission information. The second moving object includes a travel guiding execution unit that executes the travel guiding for the second moving object with respect to the traveling route to the preset destination. The travel guiding execution unit executes the travel guiding using the guiding information of the guiding information accumulation unit.

Claims

1. An information processing system comprising:

a center server;

a first moving object that performs communication with the center server; and

a second moving object that performs communication with the center server, wherein the first moving object includes a submission information acquisition unit that acquires submission information related to a travel guiding including information for navigating the first moving object through a particular path input by an occupant of the first moving object while moving through the particular path, and a submission information transmission unit that transmits the submission information to the center server, wherein the center server includes a guiding information accumulation unit that accumulates guiding information which is based on the submission information, wherein the second moving object includes a travel guiding execution unit that executes a travel guiding for the second moving object with respect to a traveling route to a preset destination, and wherein the travel guiding execution unit executes the travel guiding using the guiding information in the guiding information accumulation unit, wherein the center server further includes a guiding information extraction unit that extracts the guiding information from the guiding information accumulation unit based on path information of the second moving object, wherein the submission information transmission unit transmits travel trajectory information of the first moving object in association with the submission information to the center server, and wherein the guiding information extraction unit extracts the guiding information by comparing the path information of the second moving object with the travel trajectory information of the first moving object which is in association with the submission information.

2. The information processing system according to claim 1,

wherein the submission information is voice data from an occupant of the first moving object.

3. A center server that performs communications between a first moving object and a second moving object, comprising:

a submission information receiving unit that receives submission information related to a travel guiding from the first moving object and receives travel trajectory information of the first moving object in association with the submission information, the submission information related to the travel guiding including information for navigating the first moving object through a particular path input by an occupant of the first moving object while moving through the particular path;

a guiding information accumulation unit that accumulates guiding information which is based on the submission information;

a guiding information extraction unit that extracts the guiding information from the guiding information accumulation unit based on path information of the second moving object; and

a guiding information transmission unit that transmits the guiding information extracted from the guiding information extraction unit to the second moving object, wherein the guiding information extraction unit extracts the guiding information which corresponds to a predetermined guide point on a traveling route of the second moving object up to a preset destination, and wherein the guiding information extraction unit extracts the guiding information by comparing the path information of the second moving object with the travel trajectory information of the first moving object which is in association with the submission information.

4. An information processing device that is mounted on a moving object and performs communication with a center server, comprising:

a guiding information request unit that transmits information related to at least a destination and path information of the moving object to the center server, and makes a request for guiding information to the center server, and a travel guiding execution unit that executes a travel guiding for the moving object with respect to a traveling route to the destination, wherein the guiding information request unit requests the guiding information which is based on submission information submitted from another moving object and travel trajectory information of the other moving object in association with the submission information, the submission information including information for navigating the other moving object through a particular path input by an occupant of the other moving object while moving through the particular path, and wherein, in a case where the guiding information is acquired, which corresponds to a predetermined guide point on the traveling route and which is based on the submission information, the travel guiding execution unit executes the travel guiding using the guiding information, and wherein the guiding information is determined based upon comparing the path information of the moving object with the travel trajectory information of the other moving object which is in association with the submission information.

5. The information processing device according to claim 4,

wherein, in a case where the guiding information cannot be acquired, which corresponds to the predetermined guide point on the traveling route and which is based on the submission information, the travel guiding execution unit executes the travel guiding using the guiding information provided in the travel guiding execution unit as standard data.

6. An information processing device that is mounted on a moving object and performs communication with a center server, comprising:

a submission information acquisition unit that acquires submission information related to a travel guiding including information for navigating the moving object through a particular path input by an occupant of the moving object while moving through the particular path; and

a submission information transmission unit that transmits travel trajectory information of the moving object to the center server in association with the submission information, wherein the center server includes a guiding information extraction unit that extracts guiding information based on path information of another moving object by comparing the path information of the other moving object with the travel trajectory information of the moving object which is in association with the submission information.
