Abstract
A distributed information system includes a communicating section, a control section and a management section. The communication section is to be mounted in a first mobile unit such as a vehicle, to receive an agent program which is an autonomous program to collect information, from a second mobile unit. The control section to be mounted in the first mobile unit performs a control action in response to a request of the agent program sent from the second mobile unit. The management section to be mounted in the first mobile unit is configured to allow delivery of information on a result of the control action to the second mobile unit.
Claims15
A distributed information system comprising
- a communication section to be mounted in a first mobile unit, configured to receive an agent program which is an autonomous program to collect information, from a second mobile unit;
- a control section to be mounted in the first mobile unit, configured to perform a control action in response to a request of the agent program sent form the second mobile unit;
- a management section to be mounted in the first mobile unit, configured to allow delivery of information based on a result of the control action to the second mobile unit;
- a server-side communicating section configured to accept agent programs from a plurality of mobile units;
- and
- a server-side mediating section configured to provide a virtual space to allow interaction among the agent programs which are autonomous programs;
- wherein the server-side mediating section comprises a transfer section to enable an agent program to move from the virtual space to another mobile unit.
A distributed information collecting and delivering system comprising:
- a server-side communicating section accepting agent programs which are autonomous programs, from a plurality of mobile units;
- and
- a server-side mediating section providing a virtual space on which the agent programs interact with each other;
- wherein the server-side mediating section includes map data for providing the virtual space representing a two-dimensional space, and places each of the agents programs on the virtual space in accordance with information on a position of each agent program.
