Abstract
An obstacle data providing system includes a data processing apparatus that includes an electronic data providing unit that refers to an obstacle data storage unit that stores obstacle data generated by synthesizing a plurality of obstacle factors each of which becomes an obstacle in travelling of a low-speed vehicle, and sends, upon receiving a request for an electronic map from a terminal device, the obstacle data to the terminal device with an electronic map via a network; and the terminal device that includes a receiving unit that receives the electronic map and the obstacle data, and a display unit that displays the obstacle data with the electronic map, received by the receiving unit, on a display.

An obstacle data providing system comprising:
- a data processing apparatus that includes an electronic data providing unit that
- refers to an obstacle data storage unit that stores obstacle data generated by synthesizing a plurality of obstacle factors each of which becomes an obstacle in travelling of a low-speed vehicle, said plurality of obstacle factors including at least two or more selected from a group including a step, a vertical inclination, a lateral inclination, a narrow road and an irregularity of a road surface, and
- sends, upon receiving a request for an electronic map from a terminal device, the obstacle data to the terminal device with an electronic map via a network;
- and
- the terminal device that includes
- a receiving unit that receives the electronic map and the obstacle data, and
- a display unit that displays the obstacle data with the electronic map, received by the receiving unit, on a display,
- wherein the obstacle data includes difficulty data in travelling of the low-speed vehicle calculated based on the plurality of obstacle factors, and
- wherein the display unit displays a notice indicating an existence of the obstacle data in a configuration corresponding to a size of the difficulty data in the electronic map.
A data processing apparatus comprising:
- an electronic data providing unit that
- refers to an obstacle data storage unit that stores obstacle data generated by synthesizing a plurality of obstacle factors each of which becomes an obstacle in travelling of a low-speed vehicle, said plurality of obstacle factors including at least two or more selected from a group including a step, a vertical inclination, a lateral inclination, a narrow road and an irregularity of a road surface, and
- sends, upon receiving a request for an electronic map from a terminal device, the obstacle data to the terminal device with an electronic map via a network,
- wherein the obstacle data includes difficulty data in travelling of the low-speed vehicle calculated based on the plurality of obstacle factors, and
- wherein the terminal device includes a display unit configured to display a notice indicating an existence of the obstacle data in a configuration corresponding to a size of the difficulty data in the electronic map.
A method of providing obstacle data performed by an obstacle data providing system including a terminal device and a data processing apparatus that provides an electronic map to the terminal device via a network, the method comprising:
- referring to an obstacle data storage unit that stores obstacle data generated by synthesizing a plurality of obstacle factors each of which becomes an obstacle in travelling of a low-speed vehicle, said plurality of obstacle factors including at least two or more selected from a group including a step, a vertical inclination, a lateral inclination, a narrow road and an irregularity of a road surface, and sending, upon receiving a request for an electronic map from the terminal device, the obstacle data to the terminal device with an electronic map via the network, performed by an electronic data providing unit of the data processing apparatus;
- receiving the electronic map and the obstacle data, performed by a receiving unit of the terminal device;
- and
- displaying the obstacle data with the electronic map, received by the receiving unit, on a display, performed by a display unit of the terminal device,
- wherein the obstacle data includes difficulty data in travelling of the low-speed vehicle calculated based on the plurality of obstacle factors, and
- wherein the method further comprises displaying, by the display unit, a notice indicating an existence of the obstacle data in a configuration corresponding to a size of the difficulty data in the electronic map.
