Abstract
A system includes a processor that is configured to acquire a current location of a user by using a GPS sensor, download required map information from a map database via the Internet, and generate a prompt for instructing a generative AI model to calculate an optimal route and input the prompt to the generative AI model.

A system comprising:
- circuitry configured to:
- receive, via a communication interface coupled to a packet-switched network, position information indicating a current position of a mobile body from a position detection device, and acquire map information including road information, obstacle information, and traffic information from a geographic information storage device via the communication interface;
- generate environment state data by integrating the position information, the map information, destination information, and constraint condition information received from a terminal device, and generate a prompt sentence based on the environment state data;
- operate a generative neural network model using the prompt sentence to generate route information comprising a plurality of route points and a recommended movement condition corresponding to each route point for movement of the mobile body to a destination;
- verify safety and feasibility of each route point in the route information against the map information and no-go-zone information stored in a storage device, correct the route information to remove or replace infeasible route points, and calculate an estimated arrival time based on the corrected route information;
- and
- transmit the corrected route information and the estimated arrival time to the mobile body and the terminal device via the communication interface, receive position information and state information periodically from the mobile body, calculate a deviation between the received position information and the corrected route information, and generate a re-planning prompt sentence based on the deviation to operate the generative neural network model to dynamically update the route information.
