Abstract
To provide an information processing apparatus that can easily find a target object on the basis of information detected in searching. Provided is an information processing apparatus including a provision unit that provides marker information obtained when a marker on a route to a destination has been read, and information regarding an image captured when the marker has been read and an acquisition unit that acquires information regarding a marker to be read next, the information being generated on the basis of the provided marker information.
Claims17
An information processing apparatus, comprising:
- an acquisition unit configured to acquire marker information of a first marker read on a route to a destination;
- an imaging unit configured to capture an image of an ambient environment corresponding to the first marker, wherein the image is captured based on the acquisition of the marker information of the first marker read on the route to the destination;
- and
- a provision unit configured to transmit the acquired marker information of the first marker read on the route to the destination and the captured image of the ambient environment corresponding to the first marker to a server, wherein
- the acquisition unit is further configured to acquire marker information of a second marker from the server, wherein
- the second marker is to be read next to the first marker read on the route to the destination, and
- the marker information of the second marker is generated based on the marker information of the first marker.
An information processing apparatus, comprising:
- an acquisition unit configured to acquire marker information of a first marker read on a route to a destination and a captured image of an ambient environment corresponding to the first marker read on the route;
- a processing unit configured to generate marker information of a second marker based on the acquired marker information of the first marker, wherein the second marker is to be read next to the first marker read on the route to the destination;
- and
- a provision unit configured to transmit the marker information of the second marker.
An information processing method, comprising:
- acquiring marker information of a first marker read on a route to a destination;
- capturing an image of an ambient environment corresponding to the first marker, wherein the image is captured based on acquiring the marker information of the first marker read on the route to the destination;
- transmitting, to a server, the acquired marker information of the first marker read on the route to the destination and the captured image of the ambient environment corresponding to the first marker;
- and
- acquiring marker information of a second marker from the server, wherein
- the second marker is to be read next to the first marker read on the route to the destination, and
- the marker information of the second marker is generated based on the marker information of the first marker.
An information processing method, comprising:
- acquiring marker information of a first marker read on a route to a destination, and a captured image of an ambient environment corresponding to the first marker read;
- generating marker information of a second marker based on the acquired marker information of the first marker, wherein the second marker is to be read next to the first marker read on the route to the destination;
- and
- transmitting the marker information of the second marker.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon, computer-executable instructions, which when executed by a computer, cause the computer to execute operations, the operations comprising:
- acquiring marker information of a first marker read on a route to a destination;
- capturing an image of an ambient environment corresponding to the first marker, wherein the image is captured based on acquiring the marker information of the first marker read on the route to the destination;
- transmitting, to a server, the acquired marker information of the first marker read on the route to the destination and the captured image of the ambient environment corresponding to the first marker;
- and
- acquiring marker information of a second marker from the server, wherein
- the second marker is to be read next to the first marker on the route to the destination, and
- the marker information of the second marker is generated based on the marker information of the first marker.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon, computer-executable instructions, which when executed by a computer, cause the computer to execute operations, the operations comprising:
- acquiring marker information of a first marker read on a route to a destination, and a captured image of an ambient environment corresponding to the first marker read;
- generating marker information of a second marker based on the acquired marker information of the first marker, wherein the second marker is to be read next to the first marker read on the route to the destination;
- and
- transmitting the marker information of the second marker.
