(Operation of the embodiment)
Hereinafter, the operation of the information output apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the flowcharts of FIG.

  First, the operation of the control system of the information output apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment shown in FIG. 4 will be described with reference to the basic operation flowchart of FIG.

  According to FIG. 4, the control unit 101 of the apparatus main body 100 first acquires information specific to the information terminal and information specific to the user from the portable information terminal 2 being used by the user (steps S11 and S12). ).

  Here, the information unique to the information terminal is information related to the functions and specifications of the portable information terminal 2 (hereinafter collectively referred to as “functions”). For example, if the portable information terminal 2 is a smartphone, the distributor , Installed OS, storage capacity, user interface specifications, presence / absence of one-segment or full-segment functions, types of installed application programs, resolution, lens performance, waterproof performance, weight, thinness, etc. The user-specific information is the usage history information of the function or specification, the type and number of installed application programs, the usage frequency and usage time of a specific application program or function, the charging frequency of the battery used, the call Time, call frequency, memory usage, camera usage frequency, etc.

  As described above, the portable information terminal 2 is installed with an application program for collecting usage trend information based on the usage history of the functions of the portable information terminal 2 of the user. For this reason, the control part 101 performs the usage tendency estimation process of the portable information terminal 2 based on the function usage history from the function information acquired from the portable information terminal 2 and the user usage history information acquired from the portable information terminal 2. (Step S13).

  Next, the user selects a newly released model desired to be purchased from among a large number of portable information terminals 3 arranged in the store, and is installed corresponding to the portable information terminal 3 or the portable information terminal 3. The NFC card 4 is taken out and held over the NFC panel 30 of the information output apparatus 1. For this reason, the information output device 1 performs short-range wireless communication based on the NFC standard via the short-range wireless communication unit 106 with the portable information terminal 3 selected by the user, and is recorded in the portable information terminal 3 or the NFC card 4. The function information that is information unique to the portable information terminal 3 can be acquired (step S14).

  Subsequently, the control unit 101 compares the function of the portable information terminal 2 being used by the user with the function of the portable information terminal 3 that is a new model that is planned to be purchased, and outputs information on the difference and the like. The contents to be performed are determined (step S15). Then, the control unit 101 generates image information and audio information based on the determined contents, the image information is output to the projection unit 27 via the I / F 105, and the audio information is output from the speaker via the audio output unit 107. It outputs to 40 and announces (information output) (step S16).

  An example of a specific procedure of the trend estimation process (step S13) based on the user usage history is shown in FIG. 5, and an example of a specific procedure of the information output content determination process (step S15) is shown in FIG. . First, a trend estimation process based on a user's usage history will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the control unit 101 measures the usage history (time) of the game application in accordance with the application program for history collection and trend estimation processing installed in advance (step S131), and sets the threshold value prepared in advance. Are compared (step S132). If it is determined that the threshold value is exceeded (“YES” in step S132), the control unit 101 increases the direction in the + direction according to the degree that the assigned monitor importance level is exceeded in order to estimate the user's usage tendency. The degree of importance is also updated in the + direction for updating and the ease of waiting for the shape (step S133). Here, the amount to be updated in the + direction is, for example, compared with a threshold and based on the difference. For example, when the usage time is n times the threshold value, it is updated in the direction of n minutes +.

  After updating the importance level in step S133 or when it is determined that the threshold is less than the threshold value in step S132 (step S132 “NO”), the control unit 101 measures the frequency of use of the camera built in the portable information terminal 2. (Step S134), a threshold value prepared in advance is compared (Step S135). If it is determined that the threshold value is exceeded (“YES” in step S135), the control unit 101 updates the camera pixel importance level related to the resolution in the + direction according to the degree of exceeding the threshold value. Similarly, the importance of the image quality is updated in the + direction according to the degree of exceeding the threshold (step S136).

  After updating the importance level in step S136, or when it is determined that it is less than the threshold value in step S135 (step S135 “NO”), the control unit 101 measures the one-segment viewing time (step S137) and prepares it in advance. The threshold value is compared (step S138). If it is determined that the threshold value is exceeded (“YES” in step S138), the control unit 101 updates the monitor importance level in the + direction according to the degree of exceeding the threshold value (step S139).

  After updating the importance level in step S139, or when it is determined in step S138 that it is less than the threshold value (step S138 “NO”), the control unit 101 determines the charging time of the battery built in the portable information terminal 2. Measure (step S140) and compare with a prepared threshold value (step S141). If it is determined that the threshold value is exceeded (“YES” in step S141), the control unit 101 updates the battery importance level in the + direction according to the degree of exceeding the threshold value (step S142).

  After updating the importance level in step S142 or if it is determined in step S141 that it is less than the threshold value (step S141 “NO”), the control unit 101 uses the memory of the storage unit 104 such as an HDD (Hard Disc Drive). The amount is measured (step S143) and compared with a threshold value prepared in advance (step S144). If it is determined that the threshold value is exceeded (“YES” in step S144), the control unit 101 updates the importance level in the + direction according to the usage target (capacity) (step S145).

  After updating the importance level in step S145, or if it is determined in step S144 that the importance level is less than the threshold value (step S144 “NO”), the control unit 101 sets each importance level at the time of standard use prepared for each. The usage tendency information of the user is determined according to the magnitude of the importance (step S146).

  Note that the information on the importance level described above is updated based on the score in the standard use state indicated by the threshold value, and the control unit 101 determines whether the mobile information terminal 2 has each function (monitors in steps S133 and S139). This is realized by controlling the number of camera pixels in step S136, the battery in step S142, the memory usage in step S145), and the counter allocated by the program. It is used to determine the user's usage tendency depending on the degree. For example, in step S130, the importance indicating the one-seg viewing time is 2, and in step S146, the monitor importance indicating the usage time of the game application or one-seg is 3, for example, the importance indicating the battery charging time or the memory usage is, for example, 5 is assumed. In the above example, the battery charging time and the memory usage are the most important functions, and the function of the reference symbol a described later is used, the function of the reference symbol b is the monitor, and the function of the reference symbol c is the one segment.

  In FIG. 5, the items used for trend estimation are the flow of determining the importance as the usage time of the game application, the usage frequency of the camera, the one-segment viewing time, the battery charging time, and the internal memory usage such as HD. You are not limited to this item or order. For example, it is possible to determine the tendency of the user's preference, such as having a high preference for music by determining the usage frequency of the music playback application, or tending to make a long call at once by measuring the call time, The information output contents can be determined by setting a threshold value for the item and integrating items exceeding the threshold value.

  FIG. 6 shows a flow of information output content determination processing (step S15 in FIG. 4). The information output content here refers to, for example, outputting information comparing the camera function of the alternative model to a viewer who frequently uses the camera in the function comparison with the alternative model. For example, the number of pixels increases. Information such as the lens becoming bright or wide-angle. For viewers who frequently use the game, the information indicates that the OS processing speed has been improved and the operation has become lighter, the screen display has been improved, etc. This is information such as an increased battery capacity and a power saving function. The information output content determination process will be described in detail below with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  In FIG. 6, reference symbol A indicates a function recommended for an alternative model (portable information terminal 3), and reference symbol B indicates a result of functional comparison between the used model (portable information terminal 2) and the alternative model (portable information terminal 3). The function C improves, and the symbol C indicates a function whose performance is reduced or eliminated as a result of the same function comparison as described above. Symbols a, b, and c indicate functions ranked for information output (announcement) from user usage trend information, and the rank is assumed to decrease from symbols a to c.

  In determining the information output content, the control unit 101 first determines whether or not the ranked function a is equal to the function C whose performance is reduced or lost due to the model change to the alternative model (step S151). . Here, when it is determined that a = C (step S151 “YES”), the control unit 101 does not have the function indicated by a, and therefore generates image information and audio information for recommending other models, and the I / F 105. The image information is output to the projection unit 27 and the audio information is output to the speaker 40 via the audio output unit 107 (step S152).

  After the information is output in step S152, or if it is determined that a ≠ C in step S151 (step S151 “NO”), the control unit 101 subsequently reduces the performance due to the ranked function b and the model change. It is determined whether the function to be performed or the function C to be lost is equal (step S153). Here, when it is determined that b = C (step S153 “YES”), the control unit 101 does not have a function that decreases or disappears as indicated by b, and therefore image information that recommends another model as information output content. And audio information is generated and output to the projection unit 27 and the speaker 40 via the I / F 105 and the audio output unit 107, respectively (step S154).

  After the information is output in step S154 or when it is determined that b ≠ C in step S153 (step S153 “NO”), the control unit 101 subsequently deteriorates performance due to the ranked function c and the model change. It is determined whether the function to be performed or the function C to be lost is equal (step S155). Here, when it is determined that c = C (step S155 “YES”), the control unit 101 does not have the function indicated by c in the alternative model, and therefore the image information and the audio information recommending other models as information output contents. Generated and output to the projection unit 27 and the speaker 40 via the I / F 105 and the audio output unit 107, respectively (step S156).

  After information is output in step S156, or if c ≠ C is determined in step S155 (step S155 “NO”), the control unit 101 recommends the function a ranked at the top and the alternative model. It is determined whether or not the function A is equal to the function B that improves the performance as a result of comparison between the portable information terminal 2 being used and the portable information terminal 3 that is an alternative model (step S157). If it is determined that a = A and a = B (step S155 “YES”), the control unit 101 determines the function indicated by a as recommended information output content, and image information and audio for that purpose are output. Information is generated and output to the projection unit 27 and the speaker 40 via the I / F 105 and the audio output unit 107, respectively (step S158).

  After the information is output in step S158, or when it is determined in step S157 that a ≠ A and a ≠ B (step S157 “NO”), the control unit 101 continues with the ranked function b, It is determined whether or not the function A recommended by the alternative model is equal and the function B whose performance is improved as a result of comparison between the portable information terminal 2 being used and the portable information terminal 3 being the alternative model is equal (step) S159). Here, when it is determined that b = A and b = B (step S159 “YES”), the control unit 101 determines the information output content to be a function indicated by b, and sets the image information and audio information for that purpose. And output to the projection unit 27 and the speaker 40 via the I / F 105 and the audio output unit 107, respectively (step S160).

  After the information is output in step S160 or when it is determined in step S159 that b ≠ A and b ≠ B (step S159 “NO”), the control unit 101 replaces the function c ranked in the lower order with It is determined whether or not the function A recommended by the model is equal and the function B whose performance is improved as a result of comparison between the portable information terminal 2 being used and the portable information terminal 3 which is an alternative model is equal (step S161). ). Here, when it is determined that c = A and c = B (step S161 “YES”), the control unit 101 determines the information output content as a function indicated by c, and the image information and audio information for that purpose are determined. Generated and output to the projection unit 27 and the speaker 40 via the I / F 105 and the audio output unit 107, respectively (step S162).

  When it is determined in step S161 that c ≠ A and c ≠ B (step S161 “NO”), the control unit 101 announces information suggesting that all functions are downgraded. Image information and audio information for that purpose are generated and output to the projection unit 27 and the speaker 40 via the I / F 105 and the audio output unit 107, respectively (step S163).
