Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing techniques for managing the operation plans of mobile bodies such as drones and self-driving vehicles are inefficient and do not adequately consider societal situations.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus and method that includes a request information receiving unit, attribute information acquisition unit, and determination unit to evaluate operation qualifications and plans, determining whether to accept or reject requests based on acquired attribute information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If existing techniques are used to manage operation plans of mobile bodies, then basic operation management is achieved, but management efficiency is insufficient and societal situations are not adequately considered
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the operation plan management system into distinct functional modules: a receiving unit that collects operation plans and qualification information, an acquisition unit that gathers attribute information including societal situation data, and a determination unit that evaluates compatibility. This segmentation enables systematic processing of multiple information types to improve management efficiency while incorporating societal context.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary action by acquiring attribute information and performing compatibility determination before the mobile body actually operates. The system pre-assesses whether the operator's qualifications and the operation plan are compatible with societal situations and environmental conditions, allowing proactive adjustments to be made before operations commence, thereby improving overall management efficiency.
2Measurement precision
If comprehensive attribute information is acquired for evaluation, then determination accuracy improves, but information processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The determination unit is designed as a multi-functional component that simultaneously performs multiple evaluation tasks: assessing operator qualifications, evaluating operation plan feasibility, checking compatibility with societal situations, and determining environmental suitability. By consolidating these diverse functions into a single unified determination mechanism, the system achieves comprehensive evaluation accuracy without proportionally increasing overall system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary attribute information acquisition unit that serves as a mediator between the information receiving unit and the determination unit. This intermediary component standardizes and structures the diverse attribute information before presenting it to the determination unit, thereby simplifying the processing burden on the determination logic while maintaining comprehensive evaluation accuracy.
3Reliability
If operation plans are evaluated based on societal situations and qualifications, then operational safety improves, but request processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs compatibility determination as a preliminary action before mobile body operations commence. By pre-evaluating operator qualifications, operation plans, and societal situation compatibility in advance, the system ensures operational safety is verified beforehand, preventing unsafe operations while enabling faster execution once approval is granted.
Solution Approach 2:
The attribute information acquisition unit operates autonomously to gather necessary qualification and societal situation data without requiring manual intervention for each evaluation. The determination unit independently assesses compatibility based on pre-established criteria, enabling automated safety verification that reduces processing time compared to manual review processes.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus includes at least one memory storing instructions, and at least one processor. The at least one processor is configured to execute instructions to receive request information including qualification information regarding an operation qualification for operating a mobile body and plan information regarding an operation plan for operating the mobile body, acquire attribute information of the qualification information, determine whether or not to accept a request associated with the request information based on the attribute information, and output a result of the determination regarding the request as a response to the request.
