<<Publication Purpose and Content Introduction>>

Services utilizing location information obtained from mobile communication devices such as smartphones have evolved significantly with the realization of high-precision positioning since the launch of the quasi-zenith satellite "Michibiki". Currently, fusion with AI and robotics, as well as the utilization of human flow data, have begun, and the use of location information is expanding across all industrial sectors.

As AI and communication infrastructure continue to evolve further, location information is increasingly important as the foundational data for cyber-physical systems that visualize the movement of people, goods, and cities, leading to the resolution of social issues.

This book is a complete revision of the long-selling "Location Information Big Data" published in 2014. In addition to the latest trends in technologies, services, products, and systems, it includes interviews with key persons leading the industry, depicting the current state and future vision from multiple perspectives.

It provides essential knowledge to overlook the entire picture of a digital society evolving around location information and to envision next-generation IT businesses.
