Information processing device, information processing system, area division method, and storage medium

An information processing device comprising:

• a processor configured to execute a process including dividing, into a plurality of sub-areas, a work area where work is planned to be performed by at least one work machine, wherein
• the processor is further configured to:
• acquire area information related to the work area;
• calculate a target area for each of the sub-areas based on an overall area of the work area;
• and
• determine a range of each of the sub-areas in the work area based on the area information and the target area, and
• when determining the range of each of the sub-areas,
• the processor calculates an area defined by a part of an outer shape of the work area and a virtual straight line, and repeatedly moves the virtual straight line by a working width or an integer multiple of the working width in a direction perpendicular to the virtual straight line until the calculated area reaches the target area, and
• the processor sets the virtual straight line as a boundary of the sub-areas based on a comparison of the calculated area with the target area of the sub-area.

An information processing system comprising:

• at least one work machine;
• and
• an information processing device configured to communicate with the work machine, wherein
• the information processing system is configured to:
• execute a process including dividing, into a plurality of sub-areas, a work area where work is planned to be performed by the work machine;
• acquire position information of a point group that defines an outer shape of the work area;
• calculate a target area for each of the sub-areas based on an overall area of the work area;
• and
• determine a range of each of the sub-areas in the work area based on the position information of the point group and the target area.

An area division method for executing by a processor a process including dividing, into a plurality of sub-areas, a work area where work is planned to be performed by at least one work machine, the area division method comprising;

• acquiring position information of a point group that defines an outer shape of the work area;
• calculating a target area for each of the sub-areas based on an overall area of the work area;
• and
• determining a range of each of the sub-areas in the work area based on the position information of the point group and the target area.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute a process including dividing, into a plurality of sub-areas, a work area where work is planned to be performed by at least one work machine, the process comprising:

• acquiring position information of a point group that defines an outer shape of the work area;
• calculating a target area for each of the sub-areas based on an overall area of the work area;
• and
• determining a range of each of the sub-areas in the work area based on the position information of the point group and the target area.
