Information processing method, processing apparatus, and information processing system, and program

An information processing apparatus, comprising:

• processing circuitry configured to
• analyze a captured image captured by a camera mounted on a mobile body and identify an object type of a subject included in the captured image;
• analyze a sentence indicating a designated arrival position of the mobile body;
• collate a result of the sentence analysis with a result of the captured image analysis and select a subject corresponding to a word included in the sentence indicating the designated arrival position from the captured image;
• extract an area corresponding to the designated arrival position indicated by the sentence indicating the designated arrival position from the captured image based on a result of the collation, and determine the area extracted as a target arrival position of the mobile body;
• and
• autonomously navigate to and land at the target arrival position.

An information processing system, comprising:

• a mobile body,
• a user terminal, and
• a mobile body management server,
• wherein the user terminal transmits a sentence indicating a designated arrival position of the mobile body to the mobile body management server,
• the mobile body management server transfers the sentence indicating the designated arrival position received from the user terminal to the mobile body, and
• the mobile body including processing circuitry configured to
• analyze a captured image captured by a camera mounted on the mobile body and identifying an object type of a subject included in the captured image;
• analyze the sentence indicating the designated arrival position received from the mobile body management server;
• collate a result of the sentence analysis with a result of the captured image analysis and select a subject corresponding to a word included in the sentence indicating the designated arrival position from the captured image;
• extract an area corresponding to the designated arrival position indicated by the sentence indicating the designated arrival position from the captured image based on a result of the collation, and determine the area extracted as a target arrival position of the mobile body;
• and
• autonomously navigate to and land at the target arrival position.

An information processing system, comprising:

• a mobile body,
• a user terminal, and
• a drone management server,
• wherein the user terminal transmits a sentence indicating a designated arrival position of the mobile body to the drone management server,
• the mobile body transmits a captured image captured by a camera mounted on the mobile body to the drone management server, and
• the drone management server includes processing circuitry configured to
• analyze the captured image received from the mobile body and identify an object type of a subject included in the captured image;
• analyze the sentence indicating the designated arrival position received from the user terminal;
• collate a result of the sentence analysis with a result of the captured image analysis and select a subject corresponding to a word included in the sentence indicating the designated arrival position from the captured image;
• extract an area corresponding to the designated arrival position indicated by the sentence indicating the designated arrival position from the captured image based on a result of the collation, and determine the area extracted as a target arrival position of the mobile body;
• and
• transmit the determined target arrival position to the mobile body;
• and
• the mobile body autonomously navigates to and lands at the target arrival position.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer-readable instructions thereon which, when executed by an information processing apparatus, causes the information processing apparatus to perform a method, the method comprising:

• object identification processing of analyzing a captured image captured by a camera mounted on a mobile body and identifying an object type of a subject included in the captured image;
• sentence analysis processing of analyzing a sentence indicating a designated arrival position of the mobile body;
• word-corresponding subject selection processing of collating a result of the sentence analysis processing with a result of the object identification processing and selecting a subject corresponding to a word included in the sentence indicating the designated arrival position from the captured image;
• target arrival position determination processing of extracting an area corresponding to the designated arrival position indicated by the sentence indicating the designated arrival position from the captured image on a basis of a result of the word-corresponding subject selection processing, and determining the area extracted as a target arrival position of the mobile body;
• and
• autonomously navigating to and landing at the target arrival position.
