`MANAGEMENT OF MOBILE OBJECTS AND
`SERVICE PLATFORM FOR MOBILE
`OBJECTS
`
`BACKGROUND
`
`The present invention relates to management of tnobile
`objects and a service platform for mobile objects.
`A high-speed driving support and automobile system is
`known that receives infomtation from a plurality of auto-
`mobiles. acquires information concerning accidents or
`obstructions on the road and maps this information onto a
`map along with the position of an automobile. and refer-
`ences automobile position information, automobile charac-
`teristic information, and driver characteristic inihnnation to
`transmit suitable event information to each automobile.
`However. such a system has a problem that as the geo-
`graphic space being handled expands. the number of auto-
`mobiles and the number of roads increases. thereby increas-
`ing the amount of information being sent and received to a
`level that surpasses the processing capability of the server.
`In addition to event information in the geographic space.
`such a system is desired to be able to provide different
`information and services or the like in real time for each
`automobile or each driver: Furthermore, a function is desired
`that enables a serv‘ice provider other than the designer.
`manager. andx’or proprietor of this system to provide infor-
`mation. services. and the like.
`
`SUMMARY
`
`invention.
`According to a first aspect of the present
`provided is a system comprising a mobile object server
`operable to receive information from each ofa plurality of
`mobile objects within a geographic space and perform a
`process associated with each mobile object; and a registra-
`tion server operable to register a first additional process that
`is to be perfomted in addition to a first basic process
`common to the plurality of mobile objects, in association
`with one mobile object among the plurality of mobile
`objects. Also provided are a method and program product.

`tion will be described. The example embodiments shall not
`limit the invention according to the claims. and the combi—
`nations of the features described in the embodiments are not
`necessarily essential to the invention.
`FIG. 1 shows a system 10!] and a map area corresponding
`to a geographic space managed by the system 100. according
`to an embodiment of the present invention. The system 100
`manages a geographic space that includes routes on which a
`mobile object 10 moves. The system 100 is operable to
`divide the geographic space into a plurality of regions and
`manage these regions. A mobile object 10 may move on
`routes including land routes, sea routes. andfor air routes. for
`example. The geographic space may be land. sea. or air
`space that includes the routes on which the mobile object
`travels. 'IIie mobile objects 10 may be mannedfunnwnned
`automobiles, motorbikes. bicycles. humans having a digital
`device. airplanes. vessels. drones. or the like.
`FIG. 1 shows an automobile as an example of the mobile
`object 10, which moves along roads as examples of land
`routes. The system 100 includes a plurality of subsystems
`200 that respectively manage the plurality of regions. FIG.
`I shows an example in which the map area is divided into
`six regions from region A to region F. and six subsystems
`200 respectively manage these six regions.
`System 100 comprises a plurality of event servers 210. a
`plurality of mobile object servers 220. a plurality of object
`servers 230, and a plurality of passenger servers 240.

`
`the event server 210 is the same as the region assigned to the
`mobile object server 220. However. in other embodiments.
`these regions may be dilferent.
`In the embodiment of FIG. 2. the region A. which is the
`region assigned to the event server 210.
`is divided into 16
`areas and 16 areas are assigned to each of the event agents
`EAl—EAlfi. The event server 210 executes each of the event
`
`the location ofthe mobile objects 10. The passenger server
`240 manages information of at least one passenger riding on
`the mobile objects 10.
`Each of the subsystems 200 may be implemented on one
`or more servers. In one embodiment. each event server 210
`and mobile object server 229 may be implemented on one
`server. In one embodiment. a set of an event server 210 and
`
`a mobile object server 22!} in a subsystem 200 may be
`implemented by one server. Portions of the system 100 other
`than the subsystems 200 may also be implemented on one or
`more servers. In one embodiment. each object server 230
`and passenger server 24!} may be implemented on one
`server. In another embodiment, a set of object servers 230
`and a set of passenger servers 240 may be each implemented
`by one server. In yet another embodiment. all of the object
`servers 23D and the passenger servers 240 may be imple-
`mented on one server. These servers may exist at any point
`on a network including the lnternet. a subscriber network. a
`cellular network. or a desired combination of networks. The
`servers may be computers or other types of data processors.
`and may be dedicated servers. or may be shared servers that
`perform other operations.
`the system 100 acquires the positions of a mobile object
`10 front the mobile object 10. and the mobile object server
`220 managing the region that includes the acquired position
`of the mobile object ll} may manage the movement of this
`mobile object 10. The system 100 acquires information of
`events that have occurred to the mobile object 10 andfor on
`the road outside. and the event server 210 managing the
`region including the position where such an event has
`occurred may manage the state of the event.
`This event may include information about accidents.
`obstructions. closure. limitation. status. or construction on
`the road. or information about the weather.
`temperature.
`buildings. shops. or parking lots near the road. In response
`to a setting or a request front the mobile object 10.
`the
`subsystem 200 may provide notification about
`the event
`information to the mobile object 10 that made the request.
`For example. if the mobile object 10 is moving on a route in
`a geographical area corresponding to region A.
`then the
`mobile object sever 220 managing region A provides this
`mobile object 10 with the notification about
`the event
`relating to the route.
`Since the map area is divided into a plurality of regions.
`despite the mobile object It] simply moving on a route. the
`region corresponding to the position of the mobile object 10
`might change. FIG. 1 shows an example in whichthemobilc
`object 10 is driving on a road such that the position of the
`mobile object 10 moves from region A to region B on the
`regions.
`in this case. according to the movement of the
`mobile object 10. the system 100 may transfer the informa-
`tion concerning the mobile object 10 from the mobile object
`server 220 managing region A to the mobile object server
`220 managing region B. and may also transfer the manage-
`ment of the mobile object 10 to the mobile object server 220
`managing region B.
`FIG. 2 shows a subsystem 200 and a map area corre—
`sponding to a region A managed by the subsystem 200.
`according to an embodiment of the present invention. 'Ihe
`event server 210 manages at
`least one event agent. and
`executes each event agent to manage events on routes in a
`region assigned to the event server 210. An “agent“ may be
`a software entity having specific data. and may operable to
`receive a message (e.g. command). and return a result of the
`message. Each region of the plurality of regions of geo-
`graphic space includes at least a portion of one area of the
`plurality of areas. In this embodiment. the region assigned to
`
`1“
`
`3o
`
`35
`
`agents EAl—EAlfi to manage events occurring on routes of
`each area of region A. For example. the event agent EAZ
`may manage a “closure" event on an area corresponding to
`EA2 on the map. and the event agent EA4 may manage a
`“speed limit“ event on an area corresponding to FA-tl as
`shown in FIG. 2.
`The plurality of mobile object servers 220 may include at
`least one mobile object server 220 including one or more
`mobile object agents. each of which is assigned to each of
`the mobile objects 10. In the embodiment of FIG. 2. the
`mobile object server 220 includes three mobile object agents
`MOAs 1-3 assigned to three mobile objects It]
`in the
`' assigned region A. The mobile object server 220 executes
`each of the mobile object agents MOAl—MOA} to manage
`the mobile objects 10 traveling on the region A.
`FIG. 3 shows an exemplary configuration of the system
`100, according to an embodiment of the present invention.
`The system it") may be operable to communicate with each
`ol'a plurality of mobile objects 10 to send and receive the
`information used to manage the mobile objects 10. The
`system 100 may be operable to acquire map data andfor
`information exchanged with the mobile objects 10. through
`the Internet. a subscriber network. a cellular network. or any
`desired combination of networks. The system 100 includes
`an acquiring section (i.e.. module} 110. a dividing section
`130. a region manager 140. a receiving section 150. a
`transmitting section 152. a gateway apparatus 160. a plu-
`rality of subsystems 200, a plurality of object servers 230.
`and a plurality of passenger servers 240.
`The acquiring section 11!} may be operable to acquire map
`data corresponding to the geographical areas where a mobile
`object 10 is positioned. from an external database 30. for
`example. In response to the map being updated. the acquir-
`ing section 110 may acquire some or all of the updated map
`data. The acquiring section 110 may be operable to acquire
`the map data from the Internet. a subscriber network. a
`cellular network. or any desired combination of networks.
`The system 100 may be operable to store the map data in
`advance.
