Geographic space management

1. A method comprising:

managing, using a first subsystem of a plurality of subsystems, a first region of a plurality of regions, wherein the plurality of regions divide geographic space, and wherein managing the first region comprises managing a first mobile object;

managing, using a second subsystem of the plurality of subsystems, a second region of the plurality of regions, wherein managing the second region comprises managing a second mobile object, and wherein the first region and the second region share a common boundary;

changing the common boundary between the first region and the second region based on a data processing load of the first subsystem.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein managing the first region of the plurality of regions includes:

beginning data processing relating to a third moving object that has become a new management target based on changing the common boundary.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein

the beginning of data processing includes changing the common boundary according to at least one of a number of moving objects positioned respectively in the plurality of regions and a data processing load relating to the moving objects positioned respectively in the plurality of regions.

4. The method according to claim 2 , wherein

the beginning of data processing includes changing the common boundary in a manner to decrease an amount of traffic crossing the common boundary.

5. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

changing the common boundary to reduce at least one of a number of moving objects positioned within a partial range from the boundary and a data processing load relating to the moving objects positioned within the partial range from the boundary.

6. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

managing at least one event occurring in a management target region; and

changing the common boundary according to at least one of a plurality of numbers of events occurring respectively in the plurality of regions and a data processing load relating to the events.

7. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

changing the common boundary in a manner to decrease an amount of traffic crossing the boundary of the at least one region.

8. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

changing the common boundary when the boundary of the at least one region is positioned within a route portion where the traffic amount exceeds a reference traffic amount, to include the entirety of the route portion.

9. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

calculating a complexity of a route network in each of the plurality of regions; and changing the common boundary according to the complexity.

10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein calculating the complexity of the route network is based on a history of processing loads of route searches performed in each of the plurality of regions.

11. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of subsystems is realized respectively by a plurality of servers and a region manager is realized by at least one of the plurality of servers.

12. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

transferring communication between the plurality of subsystems and a plurality of moving objects;

determining the region in which each of the moving objects is positioned based on position information received from each of the moving objects in response to a request from a gateway apparatus;

determining a subsystem that is to manage a map of each region from among the plurality of subsystems; and

transferring information received from each of the moving objects to the corresponding determined subsystems.
