1. An information processing device comprising:
- a global map acquiring unit that acquires at least a part of a global map representing positions of one or more objects in a real space where a plurality of users are in activity, wherein the global map includes secondary information associated with the one or more objects located in the real space;
a local map generating unit that generates a local map representing positions of the one or more objects detectable by a device of one user among the plurality of users;
an updating unit that updates the global map based on position data of the one or more objects included in the local map, wherein the objects may be either nearby to the one user among the plurality of users, or in an area remote from the one user;
a calculating unit thatcounts a number of the one or more objects included in the local map;
calculates a relative position of the local map to the global map based on the number of the one or more objects and position data of the one or more objects included in the global map and position data of the one or more objects included in the local map; and
determines, based on the relative position of the local map and the secondary information associated with the one or more objects, an object status associated with each of the at least one unique objects; and
a display control unit that at least partially visualizes the position of one or more objects and the secondary information associated with the one or more objects in the global map onto a screen in response to an instruction from the one user among the plurality of users, wherein the objects may be either nearby to the one user or in an area remote from the one user.

Abstract
There is provided an information processing device including: a global map acquiring unit that acquires at least a part of a global map representing positions of objects in a real space where a plurality of users are in activity; a local map generating unit that generates a local map representing positions of nearby objects detectable by a device of one user among the plurality of users; and an updating unit that updates the global map based on position data of objects included in the local map.

14. An information processing method, the method being executed via at least one processor, and comprising:
-
acquiring at least a part of a global map representing positions of one or more objects in a real space where a plurality of users are in activity, wherein the global map includes secondary information associated with the one or more objects located in the real space; generating a local map representing positions of the one or more objects detectable by a device of one user among the plurality of users; updating the global map based on position data of the one or more objects included in the local map, wherein the objects may be either nearby to the one user among the plurality of users, or in an area remote from the one user; counting a number of the one or more objects included in the local map; calculating a relative position of the local map to the global map based on the number of the one or more objects and position data of the one or more objects included in the global map and position data of the one or more objects included in the local map; determining, based on the relative position of the local map and the secondary information associated with the one or more objects, an object status associated with each of the at least one unique objects; and at least partially visualizing the position of one or more objects and the secondary information associated with the one or more objects in the global map onto a screen in response to an instruction from the one user among the plurality of users, wherein the objects may be either nearby to the one user or in an area remote from the one user. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16)

17. An information processing device comprising:
-
means for acquiring at least a part of a global map representing positions of one or more objects in a real space where a plurality of users are in activity, wherein the global map includes secondary information associated with the one or more objects located in the real space; means for generating a local map representing positions of the one or more objects detectable by a device of one user among the plurality of users; means for updating the global map based on position data of the one or more objects included in the local map, wherein the objects may be either nearby to the one user among the plurality of users, or in an area remote from the one user; means for counting a number of the one or more objects included in the local map; means for calculating a relative position of the local map to the global map based on the number of the one or more objects and position data of the one or more objects included in the global map and position data of the one or more objects included in the local map; means for determining, based on the relative position of the local map and the secondary information associated with the one or more objects, an object status associated with each of the at least one unique objects; and means for at least partially visualizing the position of one or more objects and the secondary information associated with the one or more objects in the global map onto a screen in response to an instruction from the one user among the plurality of users, wherein the objects may be either nearby to the one user or in an area remote from the one user. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
