Claim 0:
1. A movement space information processing system comprising:
a plurality of moving bodies movable in a space; and
an information processing device configured to exchange information with each moving body to thereby create spatial information including information related to the space,
each moving body comprising:
a first communication unit configured to communicate with the information processing device to exchange a moving-body information item with the information processing device, the moving-body information item including position information regarding a position of the corresponding moving body in the space;
an image acquisition unit configured to acquire an image of the space; and
a control unit configured to:
extract, from the image, probe information related to the space in response to being set as at least one representative moving body by the information processing device; and
transmit, to the information processing device, the moving-body information item including the probe information,

the information processing device comprising:
a second communication unit configured to perform communications with each moving body;
a moving body determination unit configured to:
acquire the moving-body information items transmitted from the respective moving bodies using the communications via the second communication unit; and
analyze the position information included in each of the moving-body information items to thereby determine, from the moving bodies, one or more moving bodies that are movably located within a predetermined movement range in the space;

an identification unit configured to perform an identification task of identifying, from the determined one or more moving bodies, at least one moving body to accordingly perform a setting task of setting the identified at least one moving body as the at least one representative moving body; and
a development unit configured to:
receive the probe information transmitted from the at least one representative moving body; and
perform development of the spatial information based on the probe information,

the identification unit being configured to:
determine, based on a degree of the development of a content of the spatial information related to the movement range, a representative moving-body ratio of the number of the at least one moving body identified as the at least one representative moving body to a total number of the determined one or more moving bodies that are movably located within the predetermined movement range.
