An information processing method is disclosed. In one embodiment, a game space of a positional information game is controlled, a plurality of user terminals executing the positional information game to access the game space based on locations of the user terminals in a real space. Information of human activities regarding regions in the real space is obtained, the regions including at least a first region and a second region neighboring the first region. Whether the first region is unsafe is determined based on the obtained information of human activities. Responsive to the first region being determined as unsafe, a game content accessible at a virtual location in the game space that is associated with the second region is recognized, and the game users are notified of presence of the game content in the virtual location in the game space that is associated with the second region.

Information processing system and information processing method

A mobile unit control unit causes a communication unit to transmit user setting information supplied from an input unit and control data for controlling a mobile unit. A display control unit generates display data corresponding to the human flow data in a human flow data DB, and outputs the generated display data to a display unit. The communication unit transmits control data, measurement area information, and landing area information to the mobile unit, and receives human flow data from the mobile unit and supplies the human flow data to a control unit. The input unit sets setting information relating to human flow data measurement, in response to a user operation. The display unit performs display corresponding to the display data generated by the display control unit. The present disclosure can be applied to a human flow measurement system including a mobile unit and a terminal, for example.
