Information Processing with Adaptive Moving Body Update Cycles
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems face high processing loads when replicating real-world traffic environments in virtual spaces due to frequent updates of moving body positions, which is inefficient and resource-intensive.
Innovation Solution
The system adjusts the update cycle for predictive moving body information based on the moving speed and location of each moving body, allowing longer update cycles for slower-moving bodies and aligning overlapping cycles to reduce processing load.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If the update cycle for moving body positions is minimized to accurately replicate real-world traffic environments, then the accuracy of the virtual space representation is improved, but the processing load on the updating device significantly increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by differentiating update cycles based on the movement characteristics of individual moving bodies. Fast-moving objects receive shorter update cycles for high accuracy, while slow-moving objects receive longer update cycles to reduce processing load. This localized differentiation resolves the contradiction by optimizing precision where needed without uniformly increasing processing load across all objects.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamics by making the update cycle adaptive rather than fixed. The update cycle is dynamically adjusted based on the detected movement speed of each moving body, allowing the system to automatically optimize between accuracy and processing load. This dynamic adaptation enables the system to maintain high accuracy for fast-moving objects while reducing updates for slow-moving objects.
2Device complexity
If a uniform update cycle is used for all moving bodies to simplify processing, then the device complexity is reduced, but the processing load cannot be optimized based on movement characteristics
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the static uniform update cycle into a dynamic adaptive cycle that automatically adjusts based on movement speed detection. This dynamic approach eliminates the need for complex manual configuration while enabling efficient resource utilization, resolving the contradiction between simplicity and optimization.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-service by automatically detecting movement speeds and autonomously determining appropriate update cycles without external intervention. This self-adjusting mechanism maintains simplicity in operation while achieving efficient processing resource allocation based on actual movement characteristics.

AI summary
An information processing system acquires moving body information that indicates a position of each of multiple moving bodies existing in the real world. The information processing system acquires, based on the moving body information, predictive moving body information at a prescribed cycle. The predictive moving body information indicates a predictive position of each of the multiple moving bodies after a point in time at which the moving body information is acquired. The information processing system is configured to set the cycle for acquiring the predictive moving body information in at least one zone among multiple zones in which the moving bodies are present to be longer than the cycle for acquiring the predictive moving body information in the other zones.
