Route Planning Unit for Drone Charging Port Selection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing route planning systems for moving objects, such as drones, require significant user effort and time to determine which charging station to use, making the planning process inefficient.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus with a route planning unit that selects a viaport (charging port) for a moving object based on priority information, optimizing the route planning process by considering factors like cost, time, and availability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the user manually determines which charging station to use, then the system can provide charging options, but it takes time and effort for route planning
Solution Approach 1:
The route planning unit automatically performs route planning by selecting charging ports based on priority information without requiring manual user determination. The system serves itself by autonomously processing the route planning task that would otherwise require significant user effort and time.
Solution Approach 2:
The system pre-processes route planning by selecting optimal charging ports in advance based on priority information before the actual movement occurs. This preliminary action eliminates the need for manual determination during the execution phase, saving time and effort.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple charging ports are available, then charging options increase, but the complexity of determining the optimal port increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system manages multiple charging ports by changing the parameter of priority information. Instead of requiring complex manual evaluation of multiple ports, the user can specify priority criteria (such as distance, cost, or availability), and the route planning unit automatically processes these parameters to select the optimal port, simplifying the decision-making process.

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, a program, and an information processing system capable of more easily realizing route planning.A route planning unit selects, on the basis of priority information regarding setting of the moving route, a viaport where a moving object stops over from among a plurality of charging ports that charges the moving object, and sets a moving route of a moving object from a departure point to a destination. The technology according to the present disclosure can be applied to, for example, an information processing apparatus that performs automatic piloting of a drone.
