Abstract

A server device stores on a storage unit an advanced map database which includes feature information associated with a feature. The server device receives, from vehicle mounted devices equipped with external sensors which measure features, difference information indicative of a difference between feature information and the actual feature corresponding to the feature information. In accordance with the degree of reliability which is calculated based on a plurality of the difference information, the server device sends to the vehicle mounted device a raw data request signal for requesting the transmission of raw data which is measurement data of the actual feature.

Claims (18)

1. A terminal device mounted on a moving body comprising:

a measurement unit configured to measure a position of an object existing in a vicinity of the moving body;

a storage unit configured to store measured data generated by the measurement unit;

a receiving unit configured to receive map information from an external device,

the external device including a storage unit configured to store feature information associated with a feature,

the map information including information on a request to transmit information associated with the feature;

a transmitting unit configured to transmit the measured data stored in the storage unit to the external device after a distance between the position of the moving body and a position specified by the request is equal to or smaller than a predetermined distance.

2. The terminal device according to claim 1 , wherein the information on the request to transmit information associated with the feature is information indicating that a degree of reliability of the feature is unknown.

3. The terminal device according to claim 1 , wherein the information on the request to transmit information associated with the feature is information indicating:

the position of the feature to be measured to generate the measurement data; or

a measurement position to measure the feature.

4. A control method executed by a measurement device mounted on a moving body, the control method including:

measuring a position of an object existing in a vicinity of the moving body;

storing measured data;

receiving map information, from an external device,

the external device including a storage unit configured to store feature information associated with a feature,

the map information including information on a request to transmit information associated with the feature; and

transmitting the measured data stored in the storage unit to the external device after a distance between the position of the moving body and a position specified by the request is equal to or smaller than a predetermined distance.
