Abstract

An information processing apparatus in accordance with the present disclosure includes processing circuitry configured to detect an occurrence of an event; receive, via a base station to which a communication apparatus loaded onto a moving body belongs, information related to the moving body from the communication apparatus; and determine whether or not to recognize the moving body as an execution subject of an operation appropriate to the event, on a basis of the information related to the moving body and information indicating the event.

Claims (36)

1. An information processing apparatus, comprising:

processing circuitry configured to

receive, from a sensor, a detection signal indicating detection of an occurrence of an event;

receive, via a base station to which a communication apparatus loaded onto a moving body belongs, first information related to the moving body from the communication apparatus; and

determine whether or not to recognize the moving body as an execution subject of an operation appropriate to the event, based on the first information and second information indicating the event, the second information being derived from the detection signal.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the moving body is a vehicle.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein in a case in which the processing circuitry determines to recognize the moving body as the execution subject of the operation, the processing circuitry transmits, to the base station, third information for the communication apparatus to transmit a signal indicating that the moving body recognized as the execution subject is the execution subject that is valid of the operation.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

one or more other communication apparatus different from the communication apparatus belong to the base station, and

in a case in which the processing circuitry determines to recognize the moving body as the execution subject of the operation, the processing circuitry transmits, to the base station, third information for the base station to transmit a signal indicating that the moving body recognized as the execution subject is the execution subject that is valid of the operation to the one or more other communication apparatus.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein in a case in which the processing circuitry determines to recognize the moving body as the execution subject of the operation, the processing circuitry transmits, to the communication apparatus, third information for the communication apparatus to transmit a signal indicating that the moving body recognized as the execution subject is the execution subject that is valid of the operation.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein in case in which the event ends after the processing circuitry determines to recognize the moving body as the execution subject of the operation, the processing circuitry transmits, to the base station, fourth information for ending the transmission of the signal indicating that the moving body recognized as the execution subject is the valid execution subject of the operation.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein after the processing circuitry determines to recognize the moving body as the execution subject of the operation, in accordance with information input by a driver of the moving body, the processing circuitry transmits, to the base station, fourth information for ending the transmission of the signal indicating that the moving body recognized as the execution subject is the valid execution subject of the operation.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein in a case in which the occurrence of the event is detected, the processing circuitry transmits occurrence information indicating the occurrence of the event.

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein a destination of the transmission of the occurrence information indicating the occurrence of the event is set in accordance with the event.

10. The information processing apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein a destination of the transmission of the occurrence information indicating the occurrence of the event is set in accordance with a position where the event occurred.

11. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the processing circuitry receives, from the communication apparatus via the base station, third information indicating an intention of a driver of the moving body with respect to the moving body being recognized as the execution subject of the operation, and

the processing circuit determines whether or not to recognize the moving body as the execution subject of the operation appropriate to the event based on the third information indicating the intention of the driver.

12. A communication apparatus loaded onto a moving body and the moving body bellowing to a base station, the communication apparatus comprising:

first processing circuitry, wherein

an information processing apparatus includes second processing circuitry configured to

receive, from a sensor, a detection signal indicating detection of an occurrence of an event,

receive, via the base station to which the communication apparatus loaded onto the moving body belongs, first information related to the moving body from the communication apparatus, and

determine whether or not to recognize the moving body as an execution subject of an operation appropriate to the event, based on the first information and second information indicating the event, the second information being derived from the detection signal, and

the first processing circuit is configured to

receive information indicating to transmit a signal that indicates that the moving body recognized as the execution subject is the execution subject that is valid of the operation, and

transmit the signal indicating that the moving body is the valid execution subject of the operation.

13. An information processing method, comprising:

receiving, by an information processing apparatus from a sensor, a detection signal indicating detection of an occurrence of an event;

receiving, via a base station to which a communication apparatus loaded onto a moving body belongs, first information related to the moving body from the communication apparatus; and

determining, by information processing apparatus, whether or not to recognize the moving body as an execution subject of an operation appropriate to the event, based on the first information and second information indicating the event, the second information being derived from the detection signal.

14. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer executable instructions which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:

receive, from a sensor, a detection signal indicating detection of an occurrence of an event;

receive, via a base station to which a communication apparatus loaded onto a moving body belongs, first information related to the moving body from the communication apparatus; and

determine whether or not to recognize the moving body as an execution subject of an operation appropriate to the event, based on the first information and second information indicating the event, the second information being derived from the detection signal.
