Claim 17:
18. An information processing method to be executed by a computer, the information processing method comprising:
receiving, from an autonomous moving body, a first processing result that is a result of first preprocessing and sensing data received by the autonomous moving body, the first preprocessing being preprocessing of travel control processing in autonomous movement processing of the autonomous moving body and executed by a first computer included in the autonomous moving body;
executing second preprocessing based on the sensing data to receive a second processing result, the second preprocessing being more advanced than the first preprocessing and executed by a second computer connected to the autonomous moving body via a network and having a processing power higher than a processing power of the first computer;
determining a difference between the first processing result and the second processing result;
outputting, to the autonomous moving body in accordance with the difference determined, a change request to change the first processing result to a third processing result, the third processing result being received based on at least one of the first processing result or the second processing result;
executing the second preprocessing to receive the second processing result, when a request to execute the second preprocessing is received from the autonomous moving body;
outputting, to the autonomous moving body, the change request as a response to the request;
determining whether the second preprocessing is to be executed, when the request is received; and
rejecting or ignoring the request, if it is determined not to execute the second preprocessing.
