Further, the UI unit 14 may include a sound collection unit such as a microphone and a sound generation unit such as a speaker. In this case, information may be input to the action guidance providing device 10 by voice, or information may be emitted as voice.

  The storage unit 16 is a storage device such as a hard disk or a memory (for example, an SSD or the like). The storage unit 16 stores, for example, reference information, various types of data, various types of programs (for example, an operating system (OS), various types of application programs (application software), and the like). Of course, they may be stored in separate storage devices, or may be stored in one storage device.

  The reference information is information provided to the user to measure the degree of interest of the user. The reference information is, for example, information related to an image, a character string, a sound, a smell (smell), an environment (a temperature, humidity, an air volume, a wind direction, a direction or intensity of a sunny, etc.).

  The providing unit 18 has a function of providing the reference information to the user. When the reference information is image data, the providing unit 18 causes the display unit of the UI unit 14 to display the image. The image may be a still image, a moving image, an image actually captured (an image representing a real object, etc.), or a VR (Virtual Reality) image. It may be an AR (Augmented Reality) image. When the reference information is a character string, the providing unit 18 displays the character string on the display unit or outputs the character string as audio information. When the reference information is the scent information, the providing unit 18 causes the scent generating device to generate the scent indicated by the scent information. The scent generating device may be included in the behavior guidance providing device or may be used as an external device other than the behavior guidance providing device 10. When the reference information is environmental information, the providing unit 18 controls each device so that the environment indicated by the environmental information is realized. For example, the providing unit 18 controls the air conditioner such that the air temperature, the humidity, the air volume, the wind direction, and the like indicated by the environment information are realized. Also, the providing unit 18 controls the lighting device such that the intensity and direction of the day indicated by the environment information are realized. Note that the air conditioner or the lighting device may be included in the behavior guidance providing device, or may be used as an external device other than the behavior guidance providing device 10. For example, when the action guidance providing device 10 is constructed by a booth, the providing unit 18 may realize the scent or the environment by controlling the scent generating device, the air conditioner, and the lighting device installed in the booth. Good. The reference information may be stored in an external device such as a server. In this case, the providing unit 18 acquires reference information from the external device using a communication path such as the Internet and provides the reference information to the user. When the reference information is stored in the external device, the reference information may not be stored in the storage unit 16.

  The detection unit 20 has a function of detecting physical information of the user and measuring (calculating) the degree of interest of the user based on the detection result. The physical information is, for example, the user's expression, eyes, heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, voice, physical movement, and the like. The detection unit 20 may measure the degree of interest based on one piece of physical information (for example, only an expression or the like) or may measure the degree of interest based on a combination of a plurality of pieces of physical information. The detection unit 20 detects physical information using, for example, a device such as a camera, a microphone, a pulse measurement device, a sphygmomanometer, or a thermometer. Of course, other devices may be used to detect physical information. Those devices may be included in the behavior guidance providing device 10 or may be an external device other than the behavior guidance providing device 10. The providing unit 18 provides the reference information to the user, and the detecting unit 20 detects the physical information of the user at that time to measure the degree of interest. In this way, reference information that is presumed to be of interest to the user is identified.

  The action guidance creating unit 22 has a function of creating an action guidance based on the degree of interest of the user. For example, the action guidance creation unit 22 creates action guidance on the basis of reference information assumed to be of interest to the user. Specifically, the action guidance creation unit 22 creates the action guidance based on reference information in which the degree of interest is equal to or higher than a predetermined threshold or reference information having a higher degree of interest than other reference information. The action guide is a guide of an action presumed to be of interest to the user or a guide of an action to be performed by the user. The action guidance is, for example, travel guidance (tourism guidance), real estate guidance, construction site guidance, medical guidance, Internet advertisement guidance, and the like. Of course, the action guide may be a guide for actions other than these.

  The control unit 24 has a function of controlling the operation of each unit of the behavior guidance providing device 10. For example, the control unit 24 executes various programs, controls communication by the communication unit 12, controls notification of information using the UI unit 14 (for example, displays information, outputs voice, etc.), and inputs using the UI unit 14 Accept the received information, etc. Also, the control unit 24 notifies the user of information indicating action guidance (hereinafter, referred to as “action guidance information”) using the UI unit 14. The control unit 24 may display the action guidance information on the display unit of the UI unit 14 or may output the action guidance information as voice information. The action guidance information may be printed by a printer or may be recorded on a recording medium.

  Hereinafter, the action guidance providing apparatus 10 will be described in more detail. In the following description, travel guidance (tourist guidance) will be described as an example of action guidance. The action guidance providing device 10 may be installed, for example, as a PC or the like in a travel agent, may be installed in a booth provided in the store, or may be a PC or the like owned by a user. It may be installed at stations, airports, travel information centers, ryokans, hotels, etc.

  First, the control unit 24 causes the display unit of the UI unit 14 to display a menu screen at the start of use. An example of the menu screen is shown in FIG. The menu screen 26 displays, as an example, items such as a place name (map) item, a category (genre, category) item, and the like.

  The place name item is an item for the user to designate a travel destination by the place name. The place name item may be an item for the user to specify a travel destination on the map. When the user specifies a place name, a rough travel destination to which the user is interested is specified. A place name is a country name or a district name (for example, a prefecture name, a state name, a city name, a town name, a village name, etc.).

  The classification item is an item for the user to specify a travel destination by classification. For example, classifications of landmarks, world heritage sites, ruins, food, sea, mountains, religious places, etc. are predetermined. When the user designates classification, the classification in which the user is interested is designated.

  For example, when the user designates a place name item using the UI unit 14, the control unit 24 causes the display unit to display a place name menu screen 28, as shown in FIG. The names of the regions of the world are displayed on the place name menu screen 28. On the place name menu screen 28, the user can designate a rough travel destination from among the regions of the world. When a local name is designated by the user on the geographical name menu screen 28, the control unit 24 causes the display unit to display the names of countries included in the locality. For example, when Asia is specified by the user, the control unit 24 causes the display unit to display the names of countries included in the Asian region.

  When the country name is designated by the user, the control unit 24 causes the display unit to display a place name menu screen 30 indicating each region of the country as shown in FIG. 4. Here, Japan is designated by the user, and on the place name menu screen 30, the names of each region of Japan are displayed. On the place name menu screen 30, the user can designate a rough travel destination from all over Japan.

  Hereinafter, provision of the reference information by the providing unit 18 is disclosed. For example, when Kyoto is designated by the user, Kyoto is designated as a rough travel destination, and the providing unit 18 provides the user with reference information on Kyoto.

  Of course, provision of reference information may be started when the country or region is not designated by the user. For example, when the user gives an instruction to start provision of reference information while the place name menu screen 28 shown in FIG. 3 is displayed on the display unit (for example, the user presses the provision start button) (If an instruction is given by voice), the providing unit 18 may start providing the reference information. In this case, the providing unit 18 provides the user with reference information on each country. Further, when a region (for example, an Asia region) is designated by the user on the place name menu screen 28 shown in FIG. 3 and an instruction to start provision of reference information is given, the providing unit 18 determines whether the reference information is provided. You may start offering. In this case, the providing unit 18 provides the user with reference information on a region (for example, an Asian region) designated by the user. Also, when a country name (for example, Japan) is designated by the user and an instruction to start provision of reference information is given, the providing unit 18 starts provision of reference information for a country (for example, Japan) designated by the user. May be

  The control unit 24 may display a world map on the display unit, and the user may designate a rough travel destination (for example, a country, a region, etc.) on the world map.

  When a rough travel destination is designated, the providing unit 18 provides the user with reference information on the travel destination.

  In the following, it is assumed that "Japan" is designated as a travel destination by the user. In this case, the providing unit 18 provides the user with reference information on Japan. For example, the providing unit 18 may be an image representing a tourist attraction, an event, a facility, etc. in each region of Japan, a sentence indicating an explanation of each region, music related to each region (for example, a folk song etc.) , Provide each user's local environment as reference information. The providing unit 18 may provide the user with reference information on typical tourist attractions, events, facilities, etc. in each region. In addition, the reference information may be information in which actual conditions such as season, climate, and congestion are reflected.

  The providing unit 18 may randomly provide the reference information to the user, or may provide the reference information to the user while changing the reference information according to the degree of interest of the user measured by the detection unit 20. For example, if the degree of interest in reference information for a particular region (for example, the Kanto region) is higher than the degree of interest for reference information for other regions, the providing unit 18 is more detailed for the particular region (for example, the Kanto region). Provide reference information to the user. Specifically, the providing unit 18 provides the user with detailed reference information (for example, detailed reference information regarding Tokyo, Kanagawa Prefecture, etc.) regarding the prefectures included in the specific region. Furthermore, when the degree of interest in reference information on a particular prefecture (for example, Tokyo) is higher than the degree of interest for reference information on other prefectures, the providing unit 18 relates to the particular prefecture (for example, Tokyo) Provide users with more detailed reference information. Specifically, the providing unit 18 provides the user with detailed reference information on tourist attractions, events, facilities, etc. in the particular prefecture (for example, Tokyo). Thus, the providing unit 18 may narrow down the reference information according to the degree of interest and provide the user with the reference information. This process is also performed when narrowing down a specific country among the countries of the world as a travel destination. For example, the providing unit 18 provides the user with reference information on countries in the world. If the degree of interest in reference information for a particular region (eg, Europe) is higher than the degree of interest in reference information for other regions, provider 18 may provide more detailed reference information for that particular region (eg, Europe). Provide to the user. Specifically, the providing unit 18 provides the user with detailed reference information (for example, detailed reference information regarding the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Germany, etc.) regarding each country included in the specific region. Furthermore, if the degree of interest in reference information for a particular country (e.g. France) is higher than the degree of interest for reference information in other countries, the provider 18 may provide more detailed reference information for that particular country (e.g. France). Provide to the user. Specifically, the providing unit 18 provides the user with detailed reference information on tourist attractions, events, facilities, and the like in the country (for example, France).

  5 to 9 show reference images as an example of the reference information.

  The reference image 32 shown in FIG. 5 is an image representing a tourist spot in a certain region of Japan. In the reference image 32, for example, images of the stores 34 and 36, an image 38 of a person, and the like are displayed. The reference image 32 may be an image representing an actual sightseeing spot generated by photographing the sightseeing spot, or may be a VR image. Also, the reference image 32 may be a still image, a moving image, a two-dimensional image, a three-dimensional image, or may be formed in space. May be a stereoscopic image. In addition, the reference image 32 may be displayed on a display unit arranged to surround the periphery of the user. That is, the reference image 32 may be an image displayed over an angle range of or near 360 degrees.

  Further, in the case where the schedule and the season in which the user travels are determined, the reference image 32 may be an image reflecting the schedule and the season. The schedule and the season are input by the user via the UI unit 14, for example. For example, if the season is spring or summer, the color of the leaves of the trees is green, and if the season is autumn, the color of the leaves of the trees is red or yellow (foliage), if the season is winter, It shows how the leaves of the trees fell. In addition, the reference image 32 may be an image reflecting the congestion status according to the schedule and the season. For example, when the schedule or season is included in a large holiday, the reference image 32 may be an image that reflects the congestion (for example, a situation with many people) during the large holiday. In addition, when the schedule and the season are included in the low season of the travel destination, the reference image 32 may be an image reflecting the situation (for example, a situation with few people). In addition, the reference image 32 may be an image representing the actual congestion of the stores 34 and 36 (for example, a state in which people are lined up). In addition, the reference image 32 may reflect the weather of the schedule and the season. For example, if the season is a rainy season, the reference image 32 is an image when it is raining. If the season is a sunny season, the reference image 32 is an image representing a sunny situation.

  Also, the providing unit 18 may provide other reference information to the user along with the reference image 32. For example, the providing unit 18 may output from the speaker a sound at a tourist spot (for example, an actual sound or a sound related to the tourist spot (for example, a sound such as an event)) represented in the reference image 32 And the smell related to the tourist resort (for example, the smell of flowers and plants related to the tourist resort, etc.) may be generated from the fragrance generator, or the air conditioner may reproduce the temperature and humidity of the tourist resort You may reproduce it with a lighting device. For example, the schedule, the sound in the season, the temperature, the humidity, the day, etc. of the user going to travel may be reproduced.

  In addition, information on a store (for example, a menu of meals, souvenir information, etc.) may be displayed. In addition, when the user operates the reference image 32 using the UI unit 14, reference images with different line of sight may be displayed according to the operation, and the reference image of the movement destination according to the operation is displayed It may be done.

  As described above, by providing the user with the reference image 32 in which the actual situation is reflected, it is possible to give the user a feeling of actually visiting the place. The same applies to each reference image shown in FIGS. 6 to 9.

  The reference image 40 shown in FIG. 6 is an image representing a mountain 42 (for example, Mt. Fuji) in Japan. Similar to the reference image 32, the reference image 40 may be an image in which the schedule and the season in which the user travels are reflected. For example, if the season is winter, the reference image 40 is an image representing a state in which snow is piled on the mountain 42, and if the season is a summer, the reference image 40 is an image representing a state in which the mountain 42 is free of snow .

  A reference image 44 shown in FIG. 7 is an image representing a building 46 as a tourist attraction in a certain region. Further, a reference image 48 shown in FIG. 8 is an image representing a bamboo forest 50 as a tourist attraction in a certain region. Further, a reference image 52 shown in FIG. 9 is an image representing a roller coaster 54 installed at an amusement park in a certain region. Similar to the reference image 32, congestion, weather, etc. may be reflected in the reference images 44, 48, 52 as well. The reference images shown in FIGS. 5 to 9 are merely examples, and other reference images may be provided. For example, an image representing the scenery in front of the station, an image representing a sightseeing spot such as a temple or a shrine, etc. may be displayed as a reference image.

  Each reference image is associated with additional information related to a place, an event or a scene represented in the reference image. The incidental information includes, for example, names of places, events, and scenes, position information, information on tourist attractions, and the like.

  The providing unit 18 provides each reference image and other reference information to the user according to a predetermined order, an order determined by a manager (for example, a clerk of a travel agent, or the like) or a random order.

  The detection unit 20 detects physical information of the user for whom each reference information is provided, and measures (calculates) the degree of interest of the user based on one or more physical information. That is, the detection unit 20 detects the reaction of the user when each reference information is provided, and calculates the degree of interest based on the reaction. The degree of interest is expressed numerically according to, for example, physical information (response).

  For example, when a facial expression presumed to appear when the degree of interest is high is detected as a user's facial expression, such as a smiling facial expression, a laughing facial expression, a gentle facial expression, etc. It is assumed that the user has a high interest in the provided reference image and other reference information. The detection unit 20 associates a high degree of interest with respect to a place represented in such a reference image. On the other hand, when a user's expression such as an indifference expression or an expression that seems to be offensive is detected when the expression is presumed to appear when the degree of interest is low, it is provided when the expression is detected. It is assumed that the user is not interested in the reference image or other reference information, or the user's interest level is low. The detection unit 20 associates a low degree of interest with respect to a place represented in such a reference image.

  The detection unit 20 may link the graded interest degree to a place according to the user's expression. For example, when a facial expression estimated to have a higher degree of interest is detected, the detection unit 20 is more interested in the place represented in the reference image provided when the facial expression was detected. The degree may be linked.

  The detection unit 20 may also calculate the degree of interest based on the user's eyes. For example, when the user's line of sight is directed to a reference image (eg, when the user is staring at a reference image), the user has a high interest in the reference image and other reference information. It is guessed that The detection unit 20 associates a high degree of interest with respect to a place where such a reference image is displayed. On the other hand, if the user's line of sight deviates from the reference image, it is inferred that the user is not interested in the reference image or other reference information. The detection unit 20 associates a low degree of interest with respect to a place represented in such a reference image.

  The detection unit 20 may also calculate the degree of interest based on the heart rate of the user. For example, as the user's heart rate is higher, it is inferred that the user is more interested in the reference image and other reference information provided when the heart rate is detected. The detection unit 20 associates a high degree of interest with respect to a place represented in such a reference image. For example, when the user's heart rate becomes equal to or higher than a predetermined threshold, the detection unit 20 links a high degree of interest to the place. On the other hand, as the user's heart rate is lower, the user is not interested in the reference image or other reference information provided when the heart rate is detected, or the user's interest level is It is presumed to be low. The detection unit 20 associates a low degree of interest with respect to a place represented in such a reference image. For example, if the user's heart rate falls below the threshold, the detection unit 20 associates a low degree of interest with the place.

  The detection unit 20 may associate graded interest degrees with places according to the user's heart rate. For example, the detection unit 20 may associate a higher degree of interest to a place where a higher heart rate is detected.

  With regard to heart rate, the criteria for the level of interest may be changed depending on the reference information provided. That is, since the state of the heart rate may differ for each place, event, or scene provided to the user, the detection unit 20 changes the determination criteria according to the place, event, or scene to determine the degree of interest. May be For example, since the reference image 48 shown in FIG. 8 is an image representing the bamboo forest 50, it is generally assumed that the user who looks at the reference image 48 has a calm feeling. In addition, when the sound of bamboo forest 50, temperature, humidity, wind, and the like are reproduced, it is assumed that the user's feeling becomes more calm. Thus, it is generally assumed that the heart rate of the user for whom the reference image 48 is provided will be low. On the other hand, since the reference image 52 shown in FIG. 9 is an image representing the roller coaster 54, it is generally assumed that the user who saw the reference image 52 will have an excited feeling. . Thus, it is generally assumed that the heart rate of the user for whom the reference image 52 is provided will be high.

  As described above, the influence on the user may be different depending on the place, the event or the scene. For example, it is assumed that the lower the user's heart rate, the higher the user's heart rate, the higher the user's heart rate, the higher the user's interest. It is guessed that Therefore, the detection unit 20 changes the determination reference for each place, event, or scene. For example, when the user's heart rate falls below the threshold when the reference image (for example, the reference image 48) representing a quiet place is provided to the user, the detection unit 20 links a high degree of interest to the place . When the user's heart rate is equal to or higher than the threshold when the reference image representing the quiet place is provided to the user, the detection unit 20 links the low degree of interest to the place. On the other hand, when the user's heart rate is equal to or higher than the threshold when the user is provided with a reference image representing a place where the user is expected to be excited, the detection unit 20 links a high degree of interest to the place. When the user's heart rate falls below the threshold when the user is provided with a reference image representing a place where the user is expected to be excited, the detection unit 20 links a low degree of interest to the place. By doing this, it is possible to calculate an appropriate degree of interest according to the place, event or scene.

  Also, a first threshold for quiet places or events or scenes, and a second threshold for excitation (a value higher than the first threshold) may be used. For example, when the reference image representing a quiet place is provided to the user, if the user's heart rate falls below the first threshold, the detection unit 20 associates a high degree of interest in the place. When the heart rate of the user becomes equal to or more than the first threshold, the detection unit 20 associates a low degree of interest in the place. On the other hand, when an image representing a place where the user is expected to be excited is provided to the user, if the user's heart rate becomes equal to or higher than the second threshold, the detection unit 20 links a high degree of interest to the place . If the heart rate of the user is less than the second threshold, the detection unit 20 associates a low degree of interest in the place.

  The detection unit 20 may also measure (calculate) the degree of interest based on the user's blood pressure. For example, as the user's blood pressure is higher, it is estimated that the user has a higher interest in the reference image and other reference information provided when the blood pressure is detected. The detection unit 20 associates a high degree of interest with respect to a place represented in such a reference image. For example, when the user's blood pressure becomes equal to or higher than a predetermined threshold value, the detection unit 20 links a high degree of interest to the place. On the other hand, if the user's blood pressure is lower, the user is not interested in the reference image or other reference information provided when the blood pressure is detected, or the user's interest is low. It is guessed. The detection unit 20 associates a low degree of interest with respect to a place represented in such a reference image. For example, when the user's blood pressure is lower than the threshold, the detection unit 20 links a low degree of interest to the place.

  The detection unit 20 may link the graded interest degree to a place according to the user's blood pressure. For example, the detection unit 20 links a higher degree of interest to a place where a higher blood pressure is detected.

  With regard to blood pressure as well as heart rate, criteria for determining the level of interest may be changed according to the provided reference information. That is, since the state of the blood pressure may differ for each place, event, or scene provided to the user, the detection unit 20 changes the determination criteria according to the place, event, or scene to measure the degree of interest (calculation May). For example, it is assumed that the heart rate of the user looking at the reference image 48 representing the bamboo forest 50 is generally low. On the other hand, it is assumed that the heart rate of the user who viewed the reference image 52 representing the roller coaster 54 is generally high.

  As described above, the influence on the user may be different depending on the place, the event or the scene. For example, it is assumed that the lower the user's blood pressure, the higher the user's blood pressure, the higher the user's blood pressure, the higher the user's interest. It is guessed that Therefore, the detection unit 20 changes the determination reference for each place, event, or scene. For example, when the user's blood pressure falls below the threshold when the reference image (for example, the reference image 48) representing a quiet place is provided to the user, the detection unit 20 associates a high degree of interest in the place. When the user's blood pressure is equal to or higher than the threshold when the reference image representing the quiet place is provided to the user, the detection unit 20 links the low degree of interest to the place. On the other hand, when the user's blood pressure is equal to or higher than the threshold when the user is provided with a reference image representing a place where the user is expected to be excited, the detection unit 20 links a high degree of interest to the place. When the user's blood pressure becomes lower than the threshold when the user is provided with a reference image representing a place where the user is expected to be excited, the detection unit 20 links a low degree of interest to the place. By doing this, it is possible to calculate an appropriate degree of interest according to the place, event or scene.

  Also, a first threshold for quiet places or events or scenes, and a second threshold for excitation (a value higher than the first threshold) may be used. For example, when the reference image representing a quiet place is provided to the user, if the user's blood pressure falls below the first threshold, the detection unit 20 associates a high degree of interest in the place. When the user's blood pressure becomes equal to or higher than the first threshold, the detection unit 20 links a low degree of interest to the location. On the other hand, when the user's blood pressure is equal to or higher than the second threshold when an image representing a place where the user is assumed to be excited is provided to the user, the detection unit 20 links a high degree of interest to the place. If the user's blood pressure falls below the second threshold, the detection unit 20 links a low degree of interest to the location.

  The detection unit 20 may also calculate the degree of interest based on the user's voice. For example, when a voice that is presumed to appear when the degree of interest is detected as the voice of the user, such as a laughter, a voice representing pleasure, etc., a reference image provided when the voice is detected For other reference information, it is inferred that the user has a high interest. The detection unit 20 associates a high degree of interest with respect to a place where such a reference image is displayed. In addition, when the user makes a statement of content that the user likes the place, such as “good”, the detection unit 20 is displayed in the reference image provided when the statement was detected. A high degree of interest may be linked to a place. On the other hand, when a voice that is assumed to appear when the degree of interest is low is detected as the voice of the user, such as a sigh, a reference image provided when the voice is detected or other reference information In contrast, it is assumed that the user has no interest or the user's interest is low. The detection unit 20 associates a low degree of interest with respect to a place represented in such a reference image. In addition, when the user makes a remark such as "Imaichi" etc. that does not like the place, the detection unit 20 is displayed in the reference image provided when the remark is detected. A low degree of interest may be associated with the place where the user is.

  The detection unit 20 may link the graded interest degree to a place according to the voice of the user. For example, when a voice inferred to have a higher degree of interest is detected, the detection unit 20 is more interested in the place represented in the reference image provided when the voice was detected. The degree may be linked.

  In addition, the detection unit 20 may calculate the degree of interest based on the temperature of the user. For example, the detection unit 20 may associate a high degree of interest with respect to a place represented in the reference image provided when the temperature of the user rises. In this case as well as the heart rate and blood pressure, the user may have a high interest in places where the body temperature does not rise. Therefore, the detection unit 20 may change the determination criterion of the degree of interest according to the provided reference information, as with the heart rate and the like.

  The detection unit 20 may also calculate the degree of interest based on the movement of the user's body. For example, when a motion representing excitement is detected, the detection unit 20 links a high degree of interest to a place represented in the reference image provided when the motion was detected.

  Also, depending on the attributes of the user, things that the user is interested in may be different. For example, things that the user is interested in may differ depending on whether the user is an adult or a child. If the user is an adult, he may settle down in the bamboo grove, and if the user is a child, he may not rest in the bamboo grove. Also, depending on the gender of the user, things the user is interested in may be different. Therefore, the detection unit 20 may change the above-described judgment criteria (specifically, a threshold or a comparison criterion thereof) according to the attribute (age, gender, etc.) of the user.

  As described above, the detection unit 20 links the degree of interest to each place, event or scene represented in each reference image provided to the user. For example, a plurality of reference images are provided to the user over a predetermined time (for example, about 30 minutes to 1 hour), and the user's interest in each place, event or scene represented in each reference image is measured (operation ).

  The detection unit 20 may apply weighting processing to the degree of interest according to time. For example, when the user starts looking at the reference image, the user is not tired, but as time passes, the user may become tired and the user's reaction may become dull. Therefore, the detection unit 20 may apply weighting processing to the degree of interest by increasing the weighting factor as time passes. By doing this, it is possible to measure the degree of interest more appropriately even when the user's reaction becomes dull.

  The degree of interest of the user may change depending on the order in which the reference images are provided. For example, the reference images 40 and 48 are reference images giving a quiet impression, the reference image 52 etc are reference images giving a lively impression, and the reference image 52 etc. is a reference image giving an impression of excitement. is there. Providing a reference image giving a quiet impression, and then providing a reference image giving an impression of excitement and, contrary to that order, providing a reference image giving an impression of excitement, and then In the case of providing a reference image giving a quiet impression, the degree of interest of the user may change. Therefore, the providing unit 18 may provide the reference image to the user while changing the order of provision. For example, the providing unit 18 provides each reference image in the order of the reference image giving a quiet impression and the reference image giving an impression of excitement, and the detection unit 20 measures the degree of interest of the user at that time. Next, the providing unit 18 provides each reference image in the order of the reference image giving an impression of excitement and the reference image giving a quiet impression, and the detection unit 20 measures the degree of interest of the user at that time. By doing this, it can be understood how the interest level of the user changes according to the order of provision of the reference images. For example, it is possible to determine the order in which the user's interest level is the highest.

  When the degree of interest in a certain order is higher than the degree of interest in another order, the action guidance creation unit 22 may create action guidance in which the turn is reflected. For example, it is assumed that the providing unit 18 provides the user with reference information on Kyoto, reference information on Nagasaki, and reference information on Tokyo. In that case, the degree of interest when the respective reference information is provided according to the order (the order of Kyoto, Nagasaki, and Tokyo) (the total degree of interest of the user when each reference information is provided) is the other order (the order For example, if it is higher than the degree of interest (total of the degree of interest) when each reference information is provided according to the order of Nagasaki, Kyoto, Tokyo etc.), the action guidance creation unit 22 reflects the order (moving route) Create an action guide. That is, the action guidance creation unit 22 calculates movement routes for moving each region in the order of Kyoto, Nagasaki, and Tokyo, and creates action guidance including the movement routes. By doing this, a moving route reflecting the user's interest is provided to the user.

  The providing unit 18 may simultaneously provide the user with a plurality of reference images. The combination of the plurality of reference images may be predetermined or may be changed randomly.

  The action guidance creation unit 22 creates the action guidance based on the degree of interest calculated as described above. For example, the action guidance creation unit 22 performs an action based on reference information in which the degree of interest is equal to or higher than a predetermined threshold or reference information in which the degree of interest falls within a predetermined rank from the top. Create a guide. For example, the action guidance creation unit 22 creates action guidance including a movement route, a schedule, and the like.

  For example, when the reference image 32 shown in FIG. 5 and the reference image 48 shown in FIG. 8 are provided to the user, the degree of interest is higher than when the other reference images are provided to the user. If obtained, the action guidance creation unit 22 creates action guidance based on the reference images 32 and 48. For example, the action guidance creation unit 22 refers to the incidental information linked to each of the reference images 32 and 48 to guide the user of the locations represented in each of the reference images 32 and 48. Create a guide. Since the incidental information includes the position information, the action guidance creation unit 22 uses the position information to use the movement route, the schedule, the means of movement (transportation (train, bus, taxi), car, foot, bicycle) Etc.), action guidance (tourism guidance) including time required for movement, cost required for movement, etc.

  In addition, when the user has specified a travel schedule, the behavior guidance creation unit 22 creates behavior guidance in consideration of the schedule. That is, the action guidance creation unit 22 creates action guidance for guiding a place where the user is interested and who can travel while sightseeing in the schedule.

  Hereinafter, an example of the action guidance will be described with reference to FIG. An example of the action guidance image is shown in FIG. The action guidance image 56 is an example of action guidance information, and is an image representing the map 58, the moving route 60, and the like. The map 58 is a map representing a place determined based on the degree of interest described above (a place recommended to the user as a travel destination). The movement route 60 is a route when moving to a place assumed to be of interest to the user.

  In the example shown in FIG. 10, a schedule (for example, December 1st to 3rd) is designated by the user. Therefore, the action guidance creation unit 22 creates action guidance (moving route 60) for sightseeing a place where the user is interested in the schedule.

  For example, the travel route 60 includes a departure point 62, an end point 64 and relay points 66 and 68. The departure point 62 is, for example, a place represented by the reference image 32 shown in FIG. 5 or a place near the place. The end point 64 is the place shown in the reference image 48 shown in FIG. 8 or a place near the place. The action guidance creation unit 22 calculates a travel route 60 for traveling while sightseeing between December 1st and 3rd in a place including the departure point 62 and the end point 64. In the calculation, the action guidance creation unit 22 calculates the movement route 60 using the traveling time by the traveling means and the time required for sightseeing at the sightseeing spot (tourism time) as a consideration factor. For example, a general average value may be used as travel time or sightseeing time. Also, sightseeing time may be designated by the user.

  In addition, when there is a tourist spot between the departure point 62 and the end point 64, the action guidance creation unit 22 may include the tourist spot in the travel route 60. In the example shown in FIG. 10, relay points 66 and 68 are included in the travel route 60 as such tourist spots. Of course, if there is not enough schedule, the action guidance creation unit 22 may not include such a sightseeing spot in the travel route 60.

  In the example shown in FIG. 10, the departure point 62 is visited on December 1, and then, it is planned to move to the relay point 66 and stay at the relay point 66. It moves to relay point 68 on December 2 and is scheduled to stay at relay point 68. It is planned to move to the end point 64 on December 3. Of course, depending on the degree of interest of the user, the start point and the end point may coincide.

  In addition, in the action guidance image 56, information on sightseeing guidance may be displayed. As tourist information, for example, information indicating a location, information indicating a schedule, information indicating a means of transportation (for example, train, bus, taxi, walk, etc.), information indicating a travel fee, information indicating a total travel distance, tourist attractions Information to be displayed is displayed. In addition, on the map 58, information etc. regarding the tourist attraction at each point may be displayed.

  When the action guidance image 56 as described above is created, the control unit 24 causes the display unit of the UI unit 14 to display the action guidance image 56. The action guidance image 56 may be printed by a printer, or a recording medium (for example, a magnetic recording medium such as a hard disk drive, an optical disc such as a CD or DVD, or a memory such as a USB memory) May be recorded. Printed matter and recording media may be provided to the user. In addition, reference information (for example, reference images 32 and 48) having a high degree of interest may be provided to the user as printed or recorded on a recording medium.

  Further, in the action guidance image 56, the degree of interest (for example, a score according to the degree of interest) may be displayed in association with each point. For example, a score representing the degree of interest at the departure point 62 may be displayed in the vicinity of the departure point 62. In this way, the user can visually grasp how much interest the user himself is in.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the user is provided with guidance of an action that is presumed to be of interest to the user. In the above example, the user is provided with a travel destination assumed to be of interest to the user and a travel route at the travel destination. By doing this, individual action guidance (for example, a travel plan etc.) for each user is created and provided to the user.

  In addition, since various types of reference information are provided to the user, the user can enjoy behavior (for example, travel) in a pseudo manner.

  In addition, the action guidance creation unit 22 further provides action guidance according to the user's interest level based on the user's schedule, the action destination location, the action destination weather, and at least one element of the user's moving means. You may create For example, when the schedule of the user is determined (in the example shown in FIG. 10, December 1st to 3rd), the action guidance creation unit 22 uses the communication path such as the Internet, etc. Get information that shows the weather forecast for each place. When a rough travel destination (action destination) is designated, the action guidance creation unit 22 acquires information indicating the weather forecast of each part of the travel destination during the schedule. In the example shown in FIG. 4, since Japan is designated as a rough travel destination, the action guidance creation unit 22 acquires information indicating the weather forecast of each part of Japan on December 1st to 3rd. In addition, the action guidance creation unit 22 acquires information (for example, information indicating routes, travel times, usage charges, etc. of trains, buses, taxis, etc.) regarding travel means in various places in Japan.

  The action guidance creation unit 22 creates action guidance including a place where the user is interested and the weather condition and the condition of the moving means meet the predetermined condition. The predetermined conditions are, for example, conditions desired by the user, conditions assumed to be optimal, and the like.

  For example, suitable weather conditions (weather conditions assumed to be optimum) may be defined for each location. In this case, the action guidance creation unit 22 may create action guidance including a place where a weather condition (optimum weather condition) matching the weather forecast in the schedule is linked. To give a specific example, it is assumed that Mt. Fuji is specified as a place where the user is interested, and a clear day is defined as an optimal weather condition as a day to see Mt. Fuji. In this case, the action guidance creation unit 22 creates action guidance so that the user visits Mt. Fuji or a nearby location on a clear day during the schedule. That is, the action guidance creation unit 22 determines the predicted sunny day in the schedule as the day on which the user should visit a place in or near Mt. Fuji. In addition, the action guidance creation unit 22 may create action guidance including a suitable place on a sunny day, when the forecast of the weather during the schedule is fine, or when the forecast of the weather during the schedule is rain, You may create an action guide that includes a suitable place on rainy days. In addition, when the user desires to visit a place where the user is interested in a day when the weather desired by the user is predicted, the action guidance creation unit 22 determines the day when the weather is predicted. You may decide to visit the place as a day. For example, if the user desires to visit a place in or near Mt. Fuji on a rainy day, the action guidance creation unit 22 takes the day on which it is predicted that it will rain as the day on which the place is visited. decide.

  In addition, the action guidance creation unit 22 may create action guidance including a route and a location that can be moved by the moving means desired by the user. For example, when the user desires to move by train, the action guidance creation unit 22 creates action guidance including a route and a location movable by the train.

  The user can use the UI unit 14 to input a condition desired by the user (for example, the weather condition or the condition of the moving means) to the behavior guidance providing device 10.

  In addition, when a budget is set, the behavior guidance creation unit 22 may further create behavior guidance that can act within the budget. The budget includes, for example, expenses required for transportation such as trains, buses and taxis, and accommodation expenses. The budget is specified by the user, for example. In addition, when a plurality of budgets are defined, the behavior guidance creation unit 22 may create behavior guidance for each budget.

  The control unit 24 may manage the history of the degree of interest of each user. For example, the control unit 24 may calculate the degree of interest of each user, and calculate the ranking of travel destinations, events, and the like based on the degree of interest. The control unit 24 may display the ranking on the display unit of the UI unit 14. In this way, the user can recognize travel destinations, events, etc. that are presumed to be of interest to other users, and the ranking is used as a determination material when determining travel destinations etc. be able to.

  Note that the degree of interest of the user may change depending on the environment (eg, noise, temperature, humidity, etc.) around the place where the degree of interest is being measured. In order to cope with this, for example, the degree of interest may be measured in a room where noise is shut off, in a room where temperature and humidity are controlled to predetermined values, or the like.

  Hereinafter, modified examples will be described.

<Modification 1>
A first modification will be described. In the first modification, the providing unit 18 provides the user with at least one of the interest information and the non-interest information as reference information. The interest information is reference information predetermined as information in which the user is interested. Non-interest information is reference information other than interest information.

  In the example shown in FIG. 4, since Japan is designated as a rough travel destination, it is assumed that the user is interested in Japan. Therefore, the interest information is reference information on Japan, and the non-interest information is reference information on countries other than Japan.

  Even if it is a travel destination or something that the user thinks he is not interested in, the user may actually show interest. By providing non-interest information to the user, it is possible to actually detect travel destinations and things that the user is interested in, and it is possible to create action guidance including such travel destinations and things. For example, when the user designates Tokyo as a travel destination, the providing unit 18 provides the user with reference information on regions other than Tokyo (for example, reference information on Kyoto) as non-interest information. Then, when it is detected that the user shows an interest in Kyoto, the action guidance creation unit 22 creates action guidance including Kyoto as an action destination.

  Further, by providing interest information to the user, it is possible to confirm whether the user actually has an interest in travel destinations or things specified by the user. For example, when the user designates Tokyo as a travel destination, the providing unit 18 provides the user with reference information on Tokyo as interest information. Then, when it is detected that the user shows an interest in Tokyo, the action guidance creation unit 22 creates action guidance including Tokyo as an action destination. On the other hand, when it is not detected that the user shows interest in Tokyo, the action guidance creation unit 22 creates action guidance not including Tokyo as an action destination.

  The providing unit 18 may provide the user with switching between the interest information and the non-interest information. For example, the providing unit 18 may alternately provide one or more pieces of interest information and one or more pieces of non-interest information to the user, or the provision of one or more pieces of interest information (or non-interest information) is ended. Then, one or more pieces of non-interest information (or interest information) may be provided.

  Also, the providing unit 18 may change the information provided to the user according to the degree of interest of the user. For example, if the degree of interest when the providing unit 18 is providing interest information to the user is less than the threshold, the providing unit 18 may provide non-interest information to the user. Similarly, when the degree of interest when the providing unit 18 is providing non-interest information to the user is less than the threshold, the providing unit 18 may provide the user with interest information.

<Modification 2>
A second modification will be described. In the second modification, while the user acts in accordance with the action guidance, the detection unit 20 measures the interest level of the user. The action guidance creation unit 22 may maintain the action guidance or may provide another action guidance to the user according to the degree of interest of the user in action. For example, when the degree of interest of the user is lowered, or when the degree of interest falls below a predetermined threshold, the action guidance creation unit 22 provides another action guidance. Another action guide may be a guide created in advance based on the user's interest level, or may be a newly created action guide according to the interest level during the action. For example, when a plurality of action guidances are created in advance, and the user is acting according to one of the plurality of action guidances, the action guidance creation unit 22 User's action guide may be provided to the user. In addition, when the action guidance provision apparatus 10 is comprised by the portable terminal device, an interest degree can be measured during a user's action. Further, even when the behavior guidance providing device 10 itself is not configured by the portable terminal device, the degree of interest is measured during the user's behavior when the detection unit 20 is configured by the portable device. . The measurement result is provided to the action guidance providing device 10 through a communication channel such as the Internet, and another action guidance is created by the action guidance providing device 10. The information indicating the other action guidance is transmitted from the action guidance providing device 10 to the user's terminal device (for example, a smartphone, a tablet PC, a mobile phone, etc.) via a communication channel such as the Internet, and is transmitted to the terminal device. Is displayed. The detection unit 20 may be incorporated in the terminal device.

  According to the second modification, the user is provided with action guidance according to the interest level of the user in action.

<Modification 3>
A third modification will be described. In the third modification, the detection unit 20 measures the degrees of interest of a plurality of users for whom the reference information is provided. The action guidance creation unit 22 creates action guidance in accordance with the degrees of interest of the plurality of users. The providing unit 18 may simultaneously provide the same reference information to a plurality of users, or may provide each user with the same reference information at different times.

  For example, the detection unit 20 calculates an average value of the degrees of interest of a plurality of users for each provided reference information. The action guidance creation unit 22 determines the action guidance (for example, action guidance including the place indicated by the reference information) based on the reference information provided when the average value of the degree of interest is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold. It may be created, or the action guide may be created based on the reference information provided when the average value of the degree of interest is the highest.

  For example, when the reference information α, β, γ is provided to the users A, B, C, the detection unit 20 calculates the average value of the interest level of the users A, B, C when the reference information α is provided. The average value of the interest levels of the users A, B, and C when the reference information β is provided, and the average value of the interest levels of the users A, B, and C when the reference information γ is provided are calculated. When the average value of the interest level of the users A, B, and C when the reference information α and β is provided is equal to or more than the threshold, the action guidance creation unit 22 performs action guidance (for example, based on the reference information α and β) , Action guidance including the places indicated by the reference information α and β respectively). As another example, when the average value of the interest level of the users A, B, and C when the reference information α is provided is the highest, the action guidance creation unit 22 creates the action guidance based on the reference information α. You may

  According to the third modification, it is possible to provide the user with action guidance in which a plurality of users have an interest in common. The modification 3 may be applied to, for example, group travel such as family travel and graduation travel.

  In addition, the detection unit 20 may apply a weighting process according to the attribute of the user to the degree of interest of each user. For example, the detection unit 20 applies a weighting process to the degree of interest of each user, using a coefficient larger than the weighting coefficient for another user as the weighting coefficient for a specific user among a plurality of users. For example, a weighting factor that is several times (for example, three times) the weighting factor for another user is used as a weighting factor for a specific user. In this way, as compared to the case where weighting processing is not performed, the interest level of a specific user is more strongly reflected in the interest level of all (for example, the average value of the interest level), so it is presumed that the specific user is interested. Action guidance is likely to be provided. The specific user is, for example, designated by the user. For example, it is conceivable that a user regarded as important among a plurality of users is designated as a specific user.

<Modification 4>
A fourth modification will be described. In the fourth modification, as in the third modification, the reference information is provided to a plurality of users.

  The detection unit 20 measures the degree of interest of each user. In the above example, the detection unit 20 calculates the interest level of each of the users A, B, and C when the reference information α is provided, and when the reference information β is provided, the users A, B, and The degree of interest of each of C is calculated, and the degree of interest of each of the users A, B, and C when the reference information γ is provided is calculated.

  The action guidance creation unit 22 divides the plurality of users into groups according to the degree of interest of each user, and creates action guidance for each group. For example, the action guidance creation unit 22 combines a plurality of users having the same interest into the same group. Describing in more detail, the action guidance creation unit 22 identifies a plurality of users having interest degrees equal to or greater than a threshold with respect to the same reference information as users belonging to the same group, and creates action guidance for each group. The action guidance creation unit 22 may identify a plurality of users whose reference information whose degree of interest is equal to or more than the threshold completely matches each other as users belonging to the same group, or reference information whose degree of interest is equal to or more than the threshold A plurality of users partially overlapping each other may be identified as users belonging to the same group.

  A specific example is given and demonstrated. When the reference information α, β is provided, the interest level of the users A, B becomes equal to or higher than the threshold, and the interest level of the user C becomes less than the threshold, and when the reference information γ is provided, the interest of the user A, B When the degree is less than the threshold and the degree of interest of the user C is equal to or more than the threshold, the action guidance creation unit 22 identifies the users A and B as users belonging to the same group. That is, since users A and B correspond to users whose reference information (reference information α and β) whose degree of interest is equal to or higher than the threshold completely match each other, users A and B are identified as users belonging to the same group Be done. In this case, the action guidance creation unit 22 creates action guidance for the users A and B based on the reference information α and β, and creates action guidance for the user C based on the reference information γ.

  Also, when the reference information α is provided, the interest level of the user A becomes equal to or higher than the threshold, and the interest levels of the users B and C become less than the threshold, and when the reference information β is provided, the interest of the user A, B The degree of interest is above the threshold and the degree of interest of user C is below the threshold, and when the reference information γ is provided, the degree of interest of user C is above the threshold and the degree of interest of users A and B is below the threshold I assume. In this case, the action guidance creation unit 22 may identify the users A and B as users belonging to the same group. That is, since users A and B correspond to users whose reference information (reference information β) whose degree of interest is equal to or higher than the threshold partially matches each other, users A and B are identified as users belonging to the same group. Ru. In this case, the action guidance creation unit 22 creates action guidance for the users A and B based on the reference information β. Further, the action guidance creation unit 22 may separately create action guidance for the user A based on the reference information α and β. The action guidance creation unit 22 also creates action guidance for the user C based on the reference information γ.

  According to the fourth modification, action guidance is provided to a group to which a plurality of users having the same interest belong. This provides, for example, guidance for a plurality of users having the same interest to act together.

<Modification 5>
The fifth modification will be described. In the fifth modification, as in the third modification, the reference information is provided to a plurality of users.

  The action guidance creation unit 22 creates individual action guidance for each user based on the degree of interest for each user. For example, when the reference information α is provided, the interest level of the user A is equal to or higher than the threshold, and the interest levels of the users B and C are less than the threshold, and when the reference information β is provided, the interest level of the user B is When the degree of interest of users A and C is less than the threshold and the reference information γ is provided, the degree of interest of user C becomes more than the threshold and the degree of interest of users A and B becomes less than the threshold I assume. In this case, the action guidance creation unit 22 creates action guidance for the user A based on the reference information α, creates action guidance for the user B based on the reference information β, and the user C based on the reference information γ. Create action guide for

  In addition, the action guidance creation unit 22 may include, in the action guidance for each user, a point at which a plurality of users are scheduled to gather (join). For example, the action guidance creation unit 22 defines places where the movement routes indicated by the action guidances of the respective users intersect with each other as a planned meeting point, and prepares the respective action guidance of each user including the planned meeting point.

  Hereinafter, an example of action guidance for each user will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 11 shows an example of the action guidance image. The action guidance image 70 is an example of action guidance information, and is an image representing the map 72 and the movement routes 74, 76, 78, and the like. The map 72 is a map representing a place determined based on the degree of interest of each user (a place recommended to the user as a travel destination). The movement route 74 is an example of action guidance for the user A, and is a route when moving to a place where the user A is assumed to be interested. The movement route 76 is an example of the action guide for the user B, and is a route when moving to a place where the user B is assumed to be interested. The movement route 78 is an example of the movement guidance for the user C, and is a route when moving to a place where the user C is assumed to be interested.

  In the example shown in FIG. 11, a schedule (for example, December 1st to 3rd) is designated by the users A, B, and C. Therefore, the action guidance creation unit 22 creates action guidance (moving routes 74, 76, 78) for sightseeing a location where each of the users A, B, C is interested in within the schedule.

  For example, the travel route 74 includes a start point 80 and an end point 82. The departure point 80 and the end point 82 are places determined based on the reference information provided to the user A. The action guidance creation unit 22 calculates a moving route 74 for sightseeing while moving a place including the departure point 80 and the end point 82 between December 1st and 3rd. In the calculation, the action guidance creation unit 22 calculates the movement route 74 using the traveling time by the traveling means and the time required for sightseeing at the sightseeing spot (tourism time) as a consideration factor. In addition, when there is a tourist spot between the departure point 80 and the end point 82, the action guidance creation unit 22 may include the tourist spot in the travel route 74.

  The travel route 76 also includes a departure point 80 and an end point 84. The departure point 80 and the end point 84 are places determined based on the reference information provided to the user B. The action guidance creation unit 22 calculates a movement route 76 for sightseeing while moving a place including the departure point 80 and the end point 84 between December 1st and 3rd. In the calculation, the action guidance creation unit 22 calculates the movement route 76 using the traveling time by the traveling means and the time required for sightseeing at the sightseeing spot (tourism time) as a consideration factor. Also, when there is a tourist spot between the departure point 80 and the end point 84, the action guidance creation unit 22 may include the tourist spot in the travel route 76.

  The traveling route 78 also includes a departure point 86 and an end point 88. The departure point 86 and the end point 88 are places determined based on the reference information provided to the user C. The action guidance creation unit 22 calculates a moving route 78 for sightseeing while moving a place including the departure point 86 and the end point 88 between December 1st and 3rd. In the calculation, the action guidance creation unit 22 calculates the movement route 78 using the traveling time by the traveling means and the time required for sightseeing at the sightseeing spot (tourism time) as a consideration factor. In addition, when there is a tourist spot between the departure point 86 and the end point 88, the action guidance creation unit 22 may include the tourist spot in the travel route 78.

  In addition, a point (a meeting point 90) at which the users A, B, and C are to meet (join) is defined. The gathering point 90 is, for example, a place where the moving routes 74, 76, 78 intersect.

  In the example shown in FIG. 11, the user A is to tour the departure point 80 on December 1 and stay at the departure point 80. In addition, the user A moves to the meeting point 90 on December 2 and plans to stay at the meeting point 90. The user A is also scheduled to move to the end point 82 on December 3.

  The user B is touring the departure point 80 on December 1 and stay at the departure point 80. In addition, the user B moves to the meeting point 90 on December 2 and plans to stay at the meeting point 90. In addition, the user B is scheduled to move to the end point 84 on December 3. Note that the routes from the departure point 80 to the gathering point 90 may be the same as or different from the users A and B depending on the degree of interest of the users A and B.

  The user C is to tour the departure point 86 on December 1 and stay at the departure point 86. In addition, the user C moves to the meeting point 90 on December 2 and plans to stay at the meeting point 90. The user C is also scheduled to move to the end point 88 on December 3.

  Note that, depending on the interest level of the users A, B, and C, the departure points of the respective users may be the same or different. The same applies to the end point. In addition, the start point and the end point may coincide with each other.

  Similar to the example shown in FIG. 10, the action guidance image 70 may display information on sightseeing guidance. Information indicating a meeting place or a meeting date may be included in the information on the sightseeing guide.

  Similar to the example shown in FIG. 10, the action guidance image 70 may be displayed on the display unit, may be printed by a printer, or may be recorded on a recording medium.

  In the example shown in FIG. 11, the movement routes of a plurality of users are represented in the same action guidance image 70, but action guidance images for each user may be created. In the action guidance image for each user, for example, its own travel route and a meeting point may be represented, and the travel routes of other users may not be represented. For example, in the action guidance image for user A, the moving route 74 for user A and the gathering point 90 are displayed, and the moving routes 76 and 78 for users B and C are not displayed. The same applies to the action guide images for the users B and C.

  According to the fifth modification, the action guide for each user is provided, and the point to be gathered is indicated. Therefore, the measurement result of the degree of interest of each user provides a point at which a plurality of users can gather even if each user is to act alone.

  Modifications 4 and 5 may be combined. That is, the action guidance creation unit 22 may include the planned group points of each group in the action guidance of each group.

  The action guidance creation unit 22 may determine the gathering point by a method other than the above. For example, the action guidance creation unit 22 may search for a moving route for each user, in which the degree of interest of each user is higher while including the gathering point.

  As another example, the action guidance creation unit 22 may search for a movement route for each user, in which the sum of the degrees of interest of all the users is higher while including the gathering point.

  As still another example, the action guidance creation unit 22 may search for a movement route for each user including a gathering point, further based on an element that the user places importance on. The important elements are specified by the user, for example. The important elements may be determined in advance.

  For example, when the movement fee is designated as an important element, the action guidance creation unit 22 defines a point at which the sum of the movement fees of all the users participating in the trip becomes cheaper as the gathering point, and for each user including the gathering point Search the moving route of. For example, the action guidance creation unit 22 calculates, for each user, the charge required to move from the place where the user stayed before moving to the temporary meeting point to the temporary meeting point, and the movement charges for all the users. Determine the point where the sum of the points is the cheapest as the meeting point. Specifically, even if the action guidance creation unit 22 does not use a moving means (for example, a taxi etc.) having a higher usage charge, it can move using a moving means (for example, a train or a bus) having a lower usage charge A point may be defined as a gathering point, and a moving route for each user including the gathering point may be searched.

  In addition, when the travel time is designated as an important element, the action guidance creation unit 22 defines a point where the total travel time of all the users participating in the trip becomes shorter as a meeting point, and for each user including the meeting point Search the moving route of. For example, the action guidance creation unit 22 calculates, for each user, the time required to move from the place where the user stayed before moving to the temporary meeting point to the temporary meeting point, and the moving time of all the users The point where the sum of the shortest is the shortest is determined as the meeting point.

  In addition, when the movement distance is designated as an important element, the action guidance creation unit 22 defines a point at which the sum of the movement distances of all the users participating in the trip becomes shorter as a gathering point, and for each user including the gathering point Search the moving route of. For example, the action guidance creation unit 22 calculates, for each user, the moving distance from the place where the user stayed before moving to the temporary meeting point to the temporary meeting point, and the total moving distance of all users The point where is the shortest is determined as the gathering point.

<Other Embodiments>
The action guidance providing apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment may provide action guidance other than travel guidance. For example, the action guidance providing device 10 may be used in the real estate field. Specifically, the providing unit 18 is a reference image (for example, a three-dimensional image, a VR image, an AR image, etc.) representing a property for sale or for rent (for example, the inside of a room) or other reference information (for example, noise, The user is provided with information on the daytime, outside scenery (for example, a view, fireworks, etc.), scenery seen through a window, temperature, and the like. The detection unit 20 measures the degree of interest of the user for whom the reference information is provided, and identifies a property estimated to be of interest to the user. The action guidance creation unit 22 creates information for guiding such a property to the user. The information may be displayed on the display unit of the UI unit 14, may be printed by a printer, or may be recorded on a recording medium.

  By using the behavior guidance providing apparatus 10 in the real estate field, it is possible to specify a property that is assumed to be of interest to the user even if the user does not actually go to the property. Also, even when the property is not actually built, it is possible to identify the property that is considered to be of interest to the user.

  As another example, the action guidance providing device 10 may be used in the construction field. Specifically, the providing unit 18 provides the user with reference information at each stage of construction.

For example, the providing unit 18 may display a reference image representing the interior of a building on the display unit, and display information on a wallpaper or the like on the display unit. When the user selects the wallpaper, the providing unit 18 causes the display unit to display a reference image representing the interior on which the wallpaper selected by the user is reflected. The detection unit 20 measures the degree of interest of the user when the reference information is provided. By doing this, for example, a wallpaper or the like having a design that the user likes is specified. The action guidance creation unit 22 creates information on materials and members assumed to be of interest to the user, the appearance of a building after completion, and the like. The information may be displayed on the display unit of the UI unit 14, may be printed by a printer, or may be recorded on a recording medium.

  In addition, the providing unit 18 causes the display unit to display a reference image generated by actually photographing a building under construction with a camera, and by applying the AR technology, the building being represented in the reference image The image of the wallpaper selected by the user may be superimposed on the wall of the building (or the place where the wall is to be created) and displayed on the display unit. By doing this, the user can select the wallpaper while confirming the actual use of the wallpaper in the building. The same applies to other materials and members.

  By using the behavior guidance providing apparatus 10 in the construction field, the user can select materials, members, etc. while checking the state in which materials, members, etc. are actually used in a building at each stage of construction. Can.

  As still another example, the action guidance providing device 10 may be used for internet advertisement. For example, the detection unit 20 measures the degree of interest of the user when the advertisement is displayed. The control unit 24 switches the display or non-display of the advertisement according to the degree of interest. For example, an advertisement with a high degree of interest is displayed, and an advertisement with a low degree of interest is not displayed.

  As yet another example, the behavior guidance providing device 10 may be used in the medical field. For example, the providing unit 18 executes a simulation for a doctor, a trainee, a medical student, or the like to experience surgery in a simulated manner. The providing unit 18 displays, for example, a VR image or an AR image representing a human body, an organ, or the like at each stage of surgery on the display unit. The detection unit 20 measures the degree of interest of the user when each image is displayed. For example, the heart rate, blood pressure, etc. are measured, and the behavior guidance creation unit 22 determines a medical department (for example, surgery, cardiac surgery, brain surgery, internal medicine, etc.) suitable for the user based on the measured value. The department may be provided to the user. In addition, the providing unit 18 may cause the display unit to display an AR image representing the state of the operation when the actual operation is being performed.

  By using the behavior guidance providing apparatus 10 in the medical field, the user can experience surgery in a simulated manner. In addition, information on a medical department that is presumed to be suitable for the user is provided to the user.
