Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium

An information processing method executed by an information processing apparatus, the information processing method comprising:

• acquiring, by a sensor, feature information about another vehicle in a parking lot;
• generating, by processing circuitry, a parking lot map including a vehicle icon corresponding to the another vehicle, wherein the vehicle icon indicates the feature information about the another vehicle, wherein the parking lot map is a virtual image of the parking lot viewed from above, and
• simultaneously displaying, by the processing circuitry, the parking lot map with the vehicle icon and a camera-captured image captured by a camera of a host vehicle,
• wherein in response to determining a target parking location at which the host vehicle is to be parked, displaying information on a parking travel route from a current location of the host vehicle to the target parking location on the parking lot map.

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

• acquiring feature information about another vehicle in a parking lot;
• generating a parking lot map including a vehicle icon corresponding to the another vehicle, wherein the vehicle icon indicates the feature information about the another vehicle, wherein the parking lot map is a virtual image of the parking lot viewed from above;
• and
• simultaneously displaying the parking lot map with the vehicle icon and a camera-captured image captured by a camera of a host vehicle,
• wherein in response to determining a target parking location at which the host vehicle is to be parked, displaying information on a parking travel route from a current location of the host vehicle to the target parking location on the parking lot map.
