In the description of the drawings, the same elements are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted.

[First Embodiment]
First, the function presentation device 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described.

  The function presentation device 1 is a mobile terminal such as a smartphone. The function presentation device 1 is not limited to a portable terminal, and may be a PC (Personal Computer) or the like. The function presentation device 1 provides various functions to the user, and the user can receive a service based on the function by executing the functions. An example of the function is a software application executed by the function presentation device 1. In the function presentation device 1, the function is associated with an icon, and the function presentation device 1 presents the function to be provided on the screen as an icon associated with the function, and the user selects the presented icon. The function associated with the selected icon is executed.

  The function presentation device 1 learns probability information (likelihood and priority) of function execution (startup) with respect to the date and time from the user's past operation history, and presents icons corresponding to functions with high likelihood during operation. To do. As will be described later, the function presentation device 1 is characterized in that the likelihood is controlled by the input information. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a screen example when a function is presented in the function presentation device 1. For example, the screen shown in FIG. 3 is displayed when the user performs a specific operation in the function presentation device 1. In the screen example shown in FIG. 3, three icons corresponding to functions with a high likelihood by the user are displayed mainly when the screen is displayed. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the telephone icon for executing the telephone function of the function presentation device 1, the mail icon for executing the mail function of the function presentation device 1, and the function presentation device 1 are connected. A recipe icon for executing an application function for acquiring recipe information etc. of a dish from the Internet is displayed, and further an icon for displaying other icons is displayed.

  Then, the structure of the function presentation apparatus 1 is demonstrated. In FIG. 1, the functional block diagram which shows the structure of the function presentation apparatus 1 which concerns on this embodiment is shown. As shown in FIG. 1, the function presentation device 1 includes a date / time information acquisition unit 10, an input information acquisition unit 11 (input information acquisition unit), a function prediction model 12 (function prediction model), a function determination unit 13 (function determination unit), A function presentation unit 14 (function presentation unit), an operation acquisition unit 15, a function execution unit 16, a function execution history acquisition unit 17, and a model update unit 18 are configured.

  The function presentation device 1 is composed of hardware such as a CPU. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of a hardware configuration of the function presentation device 1. As shown in FIG. 2, the function presentation device 1 shown in FIG. 1 physically includes a CPU 100, a RAM 101 and a ROM 102 as main storage devices, an input / output device 103 such as a numeric keypad and a display, a communication module 104, and an auxiliary device. The computer system includes a storage device 105 and the like.

  The function of each functional block of the function presentation device 1 shown in FIG. 1 is the same as that of the input / output device 103 under the control of the CPU 100 by loading predetermined computer software on the hardware such as the CPU 100 and the RAM 101 shown in FIG. This is realized by operating the communication module 104 and the auxiliary storage device 105 and reading and writing data in the RAM 101.

  Hereinafter, each functional block of the function presentation device 1 illustrated in FIG. 1 will be described.

  The date information acquisition unit 10 acquires current date information.

  The input information acquisition unit 11 acquires input information. Specifically, the input information acquisition unit 11 acquires input information based on a user operation on the function presentation device 1 or acquires input information transmitted from an external server or the like.

  The input information may include mode information indicating the mode (usage status) of the own device (user). As specific examples of the mode, “business mode” indicating that the user is working, “in-train mode” indicating that the user is on the train, and “user mode” indicating that the user is spending a private day. “Daily mode”, “dead time mode” indicating a situation where the user is free and wants to kill time, and the like. The mode information may be generated manually by a user operation, or automatically generated based on position information, moving speed, acceleration of the function presentation device 1, user schedule information stored in the function presentation device 1, and the like. May be.

  For example, when the user performs a function of setting “in-train mode” in the function presentation device 1, input information indicating “in-train mode” is generated and acquired by the input information acquisition unit 11. Also, for example, based on the acceleration, movement speed, or position displacement of the function presentation device 1, input information indicating “in-train mode” is generated by the function presentation device 1 and acquired by the input information acquisition unit 11. For example, in the user's schedule information stored in the function presentation device 1, when the current schedule is “move by train”, the function presentation device 1 generates input information indicating “mode in train”. , Acquired by the input information acquisition unit 11.

  The input information may include information (priority change information) instructed to change the priority acquired from the external server. The priority change information will be described later.

  The function prediction model 12 is a database that stores function priority information in which a function to be provided and a priority of presentation of the function are associated with each other. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a table example of function priority information. As shown in FIG. 4, a priority is associated with each function provided by the function presentation device 1. The higher the priority number, the more likely it will be presented. In the present embodiment, the top three functions of the priority numbers in the function priority information are presented. In the example of the table shown in FIG. 4 (normal pattern in which the function priority information is not changed), “telephone”, “mail”, and “alarm” are presented. The priority may be likelihood or probability information.

  In the example of FIG. 4, the function prediction model 12 has a fixed association between the function to be provided and the priority of presentation of the function, but it may be varied. FIG. 7 shows another example of the function priority information table. In the table example shown in FIG. 7, unlike the table example shown in FIG. 4, the priority is set for each hour unit of the day.

  The function determination unit 13 changes the function priority information stored in the function prediction model 12 based on the input information acquired by the input information acquisition unit 11, and presents the function priority information based on the changed function priority information. To decide. Specifically, the priority change includes weighting that is set in advance for the priority, filtering the function by setting the specific priority to zero, and the like. Further, the function presentation device 1 stores in advance priority change information associated with information on the priority change method for the function to be provided for each piece of information indicating the usage status of the own device, and the function determination unit 13 stores the priority change information. The function priority information may be changed based on the priority change information.

  Hereinafter, the function of the function determination unit 13 will be described using a specific example. Here, the function priority information stored in the function prediction model 12 is the table example shown in FIG. 4, and the input information acquired by the input information acquisition unit 11 includes mode information indicating “mode in train”. The case will be described. In the prior art in which input information is not considered and a function that is frequently used in a predetermined cycle is determined, as described in the description of the function prediction model 12 above, “telephone”, “mail”, and “alarm”. Is determined as a function to be presented.

  On the other hand, in the function presentation device 1 according to the present embodiment, when the function determination unit 13 determines that the mode is “in-train mode”, the priority associated with the function that is easily used in the train in the function priority information. Weight every degree. When the function determination unit 13 weights priorities, priority change information stored in advance in the function presentation device 1 as shown in the table example of FIG. 5 may be used. The priority change information shown in FIG. 5 is a priority change method associated with the “in-train mode”. The function determination unit 13 weights the priority of “music player” by 2.0 and the priority of “news” by 3.0 according to the table example of FIG. In this case, the function determination unit 13 calculates function priority information obtained by changing the table example illustrated in FIG. 4 to the table example illustrated in FIG. Compared to the table example shown in FIG. 4, in the table example shown in FIG. 6A, the priority of “music player” is 2.0 times and the priority of “news” is 3.0 times. I understand. In this calculated (changed) function priority information, the top three functions of the priority numbers are “telephone”, “music player”, and “news”, and the function determination unit 13 presents the three functions. Determine as.

  In addition to the example of priority weighting, an example of function filtering will be described. In the function presentation device 1 according to the present embodiment, when the function determination unit 13 determines that the mode is “in-train mode”, the function determination unit 13 filters predetermined functions that are not used in the train in the function priority information. May be. For example, it is assumed that the priority of “phone” is set to 0 in the case of “in-train mode”. In this case, the function determination unit 13 calculates function priority information obtained by changing the table example illustrated in FIG. 4 to the table example illustrated in FIG. Compared to the table example shown in FIG. 4, it can be seen that the priority of “telephone” is set to 0.0 in the table example shown in FIG. In the calculated (changed) function priority information, the top three functions of the priority numbers are “mail”, “alarm”, and “music player”, and the function determination unit 13 presents the three functions. Determine as. In the example of function filtering, the priority is set to 0, but filtering may be performed by other methods. For example, the function determination unit 13 may set an exclusion flag for a function to be filtered, and may not determine a function for which the exclusion flag is set as a function to be presented.

  As another example, when the input information acquired by the input information acquisition unit 11 includes mode information indicating the “dead time mode”, the function determination unit 13 preliminarily calculates (changes) the function priority information. You may determine as a function which shows only the function in which the "deadline flag" is set. A specific example of the function for which the “kill time flag” is set includes a function for browsing digital content such as moving image content and game content.

  The above is the description of the function of the function determining unit 13 using a specific example.

  The function presentation unit 14 presents the function determined by the function determination unit 13. Specifically, as in the screen example shown in FIG. 3, an icon associated with the function determined by the function determination unit 13 is presented on the screen, and a user selection is awaited.

  The operation acquisition unit 15 acquires information related to user operations in the function presentation device 1.

  The function execution unit 16 executes a function based on the operation indicated by the information related to the operation acquired by the operation acquisition unit 15.

  The function execution history acquisition unit 17 acquires an execution history of functions executed by the function execution unit 16.

  The model update unit 18 updates the function priority information stored in the function prediction model 12 based on the function execution history acquired by the function execution history acquisition unit 17. Hereinafter, the update method by the model update unit 18 will be described using the table example of the function priority information shown in FIG. In the table example shown in FIG. 7, unlike the table example shown in FIG. 4, the priority is set for each hour unit of the day. When a function is selected by the user, the model update unit 18 acquires the current time from the date / time information acquired by the date / time information acquisition unit 10 and selects the selected function from the table of function priority information shown in FIG. The function priority information is updated by adding 0.01 to the time priority value corresponding to the current time. In the present embodiment, priority is adopted, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, instead of the priority, information derived from the number of executions such as a probability of normalizing the number of function executions for each time to be 1.0 may be adopted.

  Next, processing of the function presentation method in the function presentation device 1 according to the present embodiment will be described using the sequence diagram shown in FIG.

  First, the date information acquisition unit 10 acquires current date information (S1). Next, input information is acquired by the input information acquisition unit 11 (S2, input information acquisition step). Next, the function determination unit 13 selects the corresponding function priority information from the function priority information stored in the function prediction model 12 based on the date information acquired in S1 (S3, function determination step). Next, the function priority information selected in S3 is changed by the function determination unit 13 based on the input information acquired in S2 (S4, function determination step). Note that when the association between the function provided in the function prediction model 12 and the priority of presentation of the function is fixed as shown in FIG. 4, the steps S1 and S2 are unnecessary. Subsequently, the function determining unit 13 determines the function to be presented based on the function priority information changed in S4 (S5, function determining step). Next, the function presenting unit 14 presents the function determined in S5 (S6, function presenting step).

  Next, the effect of the function presentation apparatus 1 configured as in the present embodiment will be described.

  According to the function presentation device 1 of the present embodiment, first, input information is acquired by the input information acquisition unit 11. Next, the function determination unit 13 changes the function priority information stored in the function prediction model 12 based on the input information acquired by the input information acquisition unit 11, and based on the changed function priority information. The function to be presented is determined. Next, the function determined by the function determining unit 13 is presented by the function presenting unit 14. With this configuration, new function priority information is calculated (changed) based on the input information, and a function to be presented is determined based on the function priority information. For example, if the input information includes information about changes in user functions due to user usage and sudden external factors, changes in user functions due to user usage and sudden external factors are reflected. Function can be presented. That is, an appropriate function can be presented according to the situation.

  In the function presentation device 1 of the present embodiment, the input information includes information indicating the usage status of the device itself, and information on the priority changing method for the function provided for each information indicating the usage status of the function presentation device 1 Preferably, the priority change information associated with is stored in advance, and the function determination unit 13 changes the function priority information based on the stored priority change information. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to present a function reflecting the usage status of the own device or the user.

  In the function presentation device 1 according to the present embodiment, the input information includes priority change information that is acquired from an external server and indicates priority change information, and the function determination unit 13 acquires the acquired priority. It is preferable to change the function priority information based on the change information. With this configuration, for example, an external server detects a change in usage function due to an unexpected external factor, and acquires information instructing a priority change based on the change from the external server. It is possible to present functions that reflect changes in the functions used due to various external factors.

  Here, in the related art that determines the function to be presented according to the number of uses based on the date and time, there is a problem that the presented function is biased to a function that is often used at a similar date and time. For example, it is difficult to present a function that is used only for a specific usage scene. In addition, for example, the situation may change in several minutes, such as on a train, but there is also a problem that the difference in minutes cannot be reflected. According to the function presentation device 1 of the present embodiment, the priority of a candidate can be changed according to a specific usage situation, so that a more appropriate function can be presented.

For example, the priority change information generation unit 32 detects a sudden increase in the number of executions of a specific function from the function execution results of the plurality of function presentation devices 1, and generates priority change information that increases the priority of the function. Also good. For example, if the “weather” function execution count per hour is “+ 30% or more of the previous time” or “exceeds + 30% of the average time value”, a sudden rise is detected and the “weather” function Priority change information that raises the priority is generated. The function execution result may be managed for each area. Further, the priority change information generation unit 32 may generate the priority change information based on information such as the number of searches in the Web search of another server other than the function execution result. In addition, the priority change information transmission unit 30 may transmit the priority change information only to the function presentation device 1 that does not execute the “weather” function in a predetermined time zone when transmitting the priority change information to the function presentation device 1. good. In addition, the priority change information transmission unit 30 may transmit the priority change information in response to the inquiry from the function presentation device 1 at a predetermined timing (for example, when the function presentation device 1 is activated).

  Next, the effect of the function presentation system 5B comprised like this modification is demonstrated.

  According to the function presentation system 5B of this modification, the external server 3 acquires the execution results of the functions provided by each device from the plurality of function presentation devices 1, and generates priority change information based on the acquired execution results. Preferably, the priority change information generating unit 32 is further provided, and the priority change information transmitting unit 30 preferably transmits the priority change information generated by the priority change information generating unit 32 to the function presentation device 1. By adopting such a configuration, for example, the function presentation device 1 can present an appropriate function according to the situation, such as being able to preferentially present the function executed by the plurality of function presentation devices 1. .

[Modification 3 of the second embodiment]
Subsequently, a function presentation system 5C according to Modification 3 of the second embodiment of the present invention will be described. The function presentation system 5C is substantially the same as the function of the function presentation system 5, and only the difference will be described.

  FIG. 13 is a functional block diagram showing the configuration of a function presentation system 5C according to this modification. The function presentation system 5C is different from the function presentation system 5 in that it includes the network 4, and the functions of the priority change information generation unit 32 and the priority change information transmission unit 30 of the external server 3 are different.

  The network 4 is the Internet or the like and is connected to the external server 3.

  The priority change information generation unit 32 detects the appearance of keywords in the content on the network 4 and the appearance frequency of the keywords, and generates priority change information based on the detected information.

  The priority change information transmission unit 30 transmits the priority change information generated by the priority change information generation unit 32 to the function presentation device 1.

  Hereinafter, the processes of the priority change information generation unit 32 and the priority change information transmission unit 30 will be described using specific examples. For example, the priority change information generation unit 32 detects a keyword appearance for content distributed on the Web such as RSS news, content on a specific Web site, or SNS. Here, for example, it is assumed that the keyword “typhoon” is detected five or more times in the past hour by RSS. Then, the priority change information generation unit 32 uses the “weather” function corresponding to the keyword “typhoon” based on the keyword and function correspondence table shown in FIG. 14A stored in the external server 3 in advance. Priority change information that raises the priority is generated. Note that the priority change information may be information instructing priority change for a plurality of functions. For example, the correspondence table example shown in FIG. 14B includes an instruction to change the weights of a plurality of functions for a specific keyword. For example, based on the correspondence table example shown in FIG. 14B, the priority change information generation unit 32 multiplies the priority of the “weather” function by 2.0 and sets the priority of the “transfer guidance” function to 1.5. Priority change information for instructing to multiply the priority of the “news” function by 1.8 times may be generated.

  Next, the function and effect of the function presentation system 5C configured as in this modification will be described.

  According to the function presentation system 5C of this modification, the external server 3 detects the appearance of a keyword in the content on the network 4 and the appearance frequency of the keyword, and generates priority change information based on the detected information. Preferably, a priority change information generation unit 32 is further provided, and the priority change information transmission unit 30 preferably transmits the priority change information generated by the priority change information generation unit 32 to the function presentation device 1. With this configuration, for example, the function presentation device 1 can present a function that is more appropriate to the situation, such as being able to change the function to be presented based on a keyword that appears frequently in content on the network 4. be able to.

  In the second embodiment, the priority change information transmission unit 30 has been described as being in the external server 3, but may be provided in the function presentation device 1. In this case, the priority change information transmission unit 30 generates priority change information using the GPS function of the function presentation device 1 or HTTP communication in the background.
