1. An information processing apparatus, comprising:
a vacant space information obtaining unit obtaining vacant space information of a parking lot; a vehicle information obtaining unit obtaining a position and a direction of a car in the parking lot based on one or more images obtained by one or more imaging devices installed in the parking lot; a vacant space determining unit determining one or more vacant spaces existing in a traveling direction of the car based on the obtained vacant space information, the obtained position and the direction of the car, and information related to position information of respective vacant spaces of a parking lot map stored in a storage device; a route determining unit determining one or more routes from the car to a vacant space in the parking lot based on the determined one or more vacant spaces, the obtained position and the direction of the car, and the parking lot map and selecting one of the determined one or more routes based on searching at least a portion of the parking lot that corresponds to a user preferred and specified parking destination; an image generating unit generating one or more virtual space images comprising one or more vacant space objects indicating the determined one or more vacant spaces and one or more guidance objects indicating the determined one or more routes and indicating a position of the vacant space; and a transmitting unit transmitting the generated one or more virtual space images to the car, wherein the vacant space information obtaining unit, the vehicle information obtaining unit, the vacant space determining unit, the route determining unit, the image generating unit, and the transmitting unit of the information processing apparatus are configured to constantly process dynamically obtained information until the car enters the parking lot and is parked in parking space, wherein the image generating unit generates, when a distance between the vacant space existing in the traveling direction of the car determined in the determining unit and the car is more than or equal to a predetermined distance, a virtual space image which includes a vacant space ratio object representing a ratio of vacant space in one of predetermined blocks dividing the parking lot and indicates a position of the one block, and generates, when the distance is less than the predetermined distance, a second virtual space image which includes a vacant space object representing the vacant space and indicates the position of the vacant space. |
