Mobile Mapping System Usage Fee Calculation via Self-Monitoring
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a lack of methods for accurately calculating the usage amount of software that automatically extracts and plots features from measurement information acquired in Mobile Mapping Systems (MMS), making it difficult to charge users based on actual usage.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device with a fee calculation system that calculates the usage amount by processing measurement information, including distance, time, and data amount, to determine the appropriate usage fee for map information generation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If software automatically extracts and plots features from measurement information, then productivity is improved, but accurate usage amount detection becomes more difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback by having the information processing device report usage information (processing start/end times, data amounts) back to the fee calculation system. This feedback mechanism enables accurate usage amount detection while maintaining automated feature extraction productivity, as the device self-monitors and communicates its resource consumption to the billing system.
2Loss of energy
If usage fee is calculated based on actual usage amount, then loss of energy is reduced, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The information processing device performs self-service by automatically measuring and reporting its own usage information (processing time, data amount) to the fee calculation system. This self-monitoring capability enables usage-based billing without requiring complex external monitoring infrastructure, thus improving resource utilization efficiency while minimizing the increase in overall system complexity.

AI summary
An information processing device (100) includes a map information generation unit (11) and a usage amount calculation unit (12). The map information generation unit (11) generates map information by using measurement information including a plurality of types of information measured by a measurement device (300) which measures information on features and is mounted on a measurement vehicle (310). The usage amount calculation unit (12) calculates a usage amount of the map information generation unit (11) used for generating the map information by using at least one of the plurality of types of information included in measurement information.
