There is provided an information processing apparatus to reduce human burdens in setting work for a watch-over system, the information processing apparatus including: a determination unit that determines whether or not a position of a target is within a reference region, the reference region being a geographic region; an extraction unit that extracts a reference region candidate as a candidate for the reference region; and an output unit that outputs information related to the extracted reference region candidate in association with a reference condition.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and program

An advice target location at which a user had a predetermined emotion, for example, is determined based on location information, user biological information, and user transportation means information, which have been acquired by a terminal device () being used by the user. Advice information containing information indicating an advice presentation region set by a server device () is generated based on the advice target location. This advice information is supplied from the server device () to the terminal device (), so that the terminal device () presents advice. With this, advice as to locations pedestrians find dangerous can be presented to drivers, and advice as to locations drivers find dangerous can be presented to pedestrians. Accordingly, accidents and the like can be prevented.

There is provided an information processing apparatus including an acquisition unit configured to acquire activity information associated with a user situation; and a control unit configured to control a capture angle of an image based on the activity information associated with the user situation.

Information processing apparatus and control method

An information processing apparatus includes a three-dimensional map data storage unit for storing three-dimensional map data for use in projecting a three-dimensional space on a map onto a plane, a location information storage unit for storing location information including a type of geographical objects at points spaced at predetermined intervals on the map, a present position storage unit for storing a present position on the map, an operation input receiving unit for receiving an operation input, a collision determination unit for determining the possibility of occurrence of collision in a course from the present position to an end point, a correction unit for correcting the end point based on the determined possibility of occurrence of collision and shifting the present position to the corrected end point, and a drawing unit for drawing a three-dimensional image, the three-dimensional image produced by projecting onto the plane the three-dimensional space on the map.

System and apparatus for processing information, image display apparatus, control method and computer program

An information processing apparatus that includes a processor that controls a display to display map data; acquires first altitude data corresponding to a first point on the displayed map data and second altitude data corresponding to a second point on the displayed map data; and controls the display to scroll the map between the first point and the second point based on a difference between the first altitude data and the second altitude data.

An information processing apparatus including a position information allocation unit for allocating position information to plural spots on a deformed map; and an interpolation unit for interpolating position information of each spot on the deformed map on the basis of the position information allocated to the plural spots and locations of the plural spots on the deformed map.

Information processing apparatus, program, information processing method, and map data

An information processing apparatus that acquires estimated altitude data corresponding to a position based on detection information detected by a sensor at or near the position, and corrects altitude data associated with the position based on the estimated altitude data.

Altitude estimation apparatus, altitude estimation method, and program

An information processing device includes a range of activity information acquisition unit which acquires information of the range of activity that is an area that a user who contributes contribution information on a facility visits, and a reliability level evaluation unit which evaluates the level of reliability for the contribution information based on the information of the range of activity.

Information processing device, contribution information evaluation system, contribution information evaluation method, and program

A display route creation method includes: a route determination step in which a route determination section determines a route based on a departure point and a destination set on a map; a directional sign information extraction step in which a read section reads out directional sign information existing on the route from a map information storage section; and a route creation step in which a merging section merges a display image portion indicating the road direction included in the directional sign information and the route to create a display route in which the route and display image portion are integrated with each other.

Display route creation method, display route creation apparatus, and display route creation program

An information processing apparatus generating a three-dimensional map on the basis of three-dimensional map data includes rendering area acquiring means for acquiring a rendering area in which the three-dimensional map is generated with respect to a focal point; identifying means for identifying the three-dimensional map data in the rendering area, among the three-dimensional map data including rendering object data that concerns at least one rendering object and that is hierarchized into multiple groups in accordance with characteristics of the rendering object; rendering object data acquiring means for selecting a group on the basis of the distance from the focal point and acquiring the rendering object data in the selected group from the three-dimensional map data in the rendering area; and three-dimensional map generating means for rendering the rendering object on the basis of the rendering object data to generate the three-dimensional map.
