[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art First, a conventional information presentation technique when a user searches for and determines valid facility information will be described. Conventionally, it is assumed that a user with a certain purpose, for example, a user of a restaurant, a department store, or an amusement facility, determines which of the most suitable facilities to use to achieve the purpose. Conventionally, in such a case, the user obtains information using facility information introduced in a book, a magazine, or the Internet in advance, and determines a facility to be used. In recent years, with the development of mobile communication, it has become possible to connect to a network from a portable terminal and obtain facility information near a user. In this way, the user considers the location of the facility to be used, his / her own preferences, the companion, the schedule before and after the use of the facility from the book, the facility, and the facility information introduced on the Internet in advance, Perform a search and determine the facilities to use. on the other hand,

Further, the facility data storage unit 205 is searched to acquire the number of introduced facilities corresponding to the provided facility ID (which is the registrant ID in this embodiment), and increase the acquired number of introduced facilities by one (count up). .

In the schedule selection process in step S8202, the schedule data (schedule contents) corresponding to the schedule number included in the HTTP request REQ8005 is read from the schedule storage unit 204, and the scheduled start time, scheduled end time, and location are set. Read. If any of the schedule start time, the schedule end time, and the location are omitted, the respective schedule data is read from the schedule storage unit 204 from the preceding and following schedule numbers (previous schedule number, subsequent schedule number), and Determine event start time, event end time, and location. Using the determined time zone and location, relevant facility information stored in the facility data storage unit 205 is extracted.

Next, using the user ID, personal attributes such as the user's gender, age, and preferences are read from the user personal information data storage unit 206, and appropriate facility attributes are extracted from the extracted facility information. Retrieve facility information. Further, for the facility information selected based on the personal attribute, the information introduction history of the user is read from the user personal information data storage unit 206, and facility information which is not the facility information already provided to the user is selected. If there are a plurality of set facility information, one piece of optional facility information is selected. Next, the content of the facility information described in the schedule content of the schedule number specified in the HTTP request is rewritten to the content of the selected facility information.
Also, the contents to be written include U for referring to facility information.
RL is included. In the control unit 202, the user handling process 207 completes the selection of the schedule and the setting of the schedule, and then proceeds to step 9
The generation of the current day schedule screen in 202 and the transmission of the HTTP response are performed. The schedule of the day is extracted from the schedule stored in the schedule storage unit 204, the information of the time and place is read, a schedule screen of the day is constructed, an HTTP response REP8006 is generated, and the HTTP response REP8006 is returned to the user portable terminal.

☆ Information Acquisition Request, Schedule Acquisition Request Next, a process will be described in which the user acquires a schedule content screen displaying the content of the schedule, and acquires a screen indicating facility information by referring to the schedule content. In step S8302, the HTTP response REP8006 is received, a current-day schedule screen (also referred to as a “schedule screen”) included in the HTTP response is displayed, and a one-day schedule is indicated to the user. On the day's schedule screen, the schedule number is embedded for each schedule, and when the user clicks on the character string with the schedule number embedded, the schedule acquisition request is issued from the user's mobile terminal to request the schedule acquisition. The HTTP request containing the request is sent to the information providing system. In step S8202, when the HTTP request including the schedule acquisition request is received, the content of the schedule of the schedule number is read from the schedule storage unit 204, a schedule screen is formed, and an HTTP response including the schedule screen is generated.

If the schedule number is not included in step Sc13 (when the new schedule button is clicked in step Sc01), the process proceeds to step Sc15.
In step Sc15, if there is a read schedule content, a schedule edit screen 2400 shown in FIG. 24 is created and displayed on the user portable terminal. FIG. 24 is a diagram illustrating an example of a schedule editing screen 2400 for editing the schedule contents. If there is no read schedule content, a schedule edit screen 2400 with a blank data portion is displayed. That is, the schedule editing screen 24
00, a text box 2401 showing the title of the appointment, a list box 2402 showing the start time of the appointment, a list box 2403 showing the end time of the appointment, a text box 2404 showing the place where the appointment is made, and a text box showing the accompanying person accompanying the appointment 2405, a text box 2406 indicating remarks on the schedule is blank.

In step Sc15, if there is a read schedule content, a check box 2409 indicating that a schedule proposal is requested from the information providing system.
Is set (not to accept setting (input) from the user), the schedule editing screen 2400 is set,
If there is no read scheduled content, a setting is made to display a check box 2409. Step Sc15
Detects the user's input processing to the user mobile terminal, and displays the input contents in each text box, list box, and check box on the schedule editing screen 2400.
The schedule editing screen 2400 has a return button 2408. When detecting that the return button 2408 is clicked, the step Sc15 discards the contents of the input schedule and proceeds to step Sc01 if the process proceeds from step Sc01. If the process proceeds to step Sc01 from step Sc12, the process returns to step Sc12. The schedule editing screen 2400 has a registration button 2407. When detecting that the registration button 2407 is clicked, the step Sc15 advances the process to step Sc16.

In step Sc16, when the schedule number is designated and the corresponding schedule content in the schedule storage unit 204 is read, the title, time, place, accompanying person, and the like of the schedule corresponding to the schedule number in the schedule storage unit 204 are read. Delete the remarks and step S
In c15, the title, time, place, accompanying person, and remarks of the schedule entered by the user on the schedule editing screen 2400 are written. In step Sc16, when the process proceeds without designating the schedule number, the schedule number is not included in the schedule content stored in the schedule storage unit 204 (the schedule number is unique in the schedule storage unit 204). Is created and the schedule editing screen 24
The schedule contents including the title, time, place, accompanying person, remarks, date, and user ID of the schedule input in 00 are newly added to the schedule storage unit 204. Further, in step Sc16, when newly adding the schedule content, the previous schedule content and the next schedule content stored in the schedule storage unit 204 are searched from the schedule date and time, and the schedule content before the same date is searched. If the next scheduled content is found, write the previous scheduled number and / or the next scheduled number of the scheduled content to be added. In addition, the next schedule number of the previous schedule content searched and found, and the previous schedule number of the next scheduled content searched and found are changed to the schedule number of the newly created schedule content. Additional processing).

[0124] In step Sc16, when the wait for proposal box is checked, the created schedule content requests the facility information providing system to provide facility information, that is, based on the created schedule content. In order to indicate that the facility is searched and the content of the facility information is written, an area for writing the facility proposal ID is added to the written scheduled content, and an initial value indicating that a proposal is required is set. As described above, steps Sc01, Sc12, Sc13, Sc14, Sc15, and Sc16 of the user handling process 207 relating to the process of the user registering a new schedule and editing the existing registration schedule have been described.

Deletion of Registration Schedule and Proposal Schedule: User Corresponding Process 207 Next, the process of deleting the registration schedule or the proposal schedule in step Sc01, step Sc10, and step Sc12 will be described. The proposal schedule contents screen 2100 and the registration schedule screen 2000 displayed on the user portable terminal in steps Sc10 and Sc12 include deletion buttons 2107 and 2007 for the user to delete the registration schedule or the proposal schedule. In addition, description places 1907, 1911 of the places of the respective plans registered by the user on the day plan screen 1900 displayed on the user portable terminal in step Sc01 and description places 1909, 1913 of the respective places proposed by the information providing system.
Has a schedule deletion button labeled "Delete" for deleting the schedule registered by the user and the schedule proposed by the information providing system. In step Sc01, upon detecting that the schedule deletion button has been clicked, the process proceeds to step Sc03 together with the clicked registration schedule or proposal schedule number. Step Sc10, Step Sc1
When detecting that the delete button 2007 has been clicked, Step Sc includes the registration schedule number displayed on the registration schedule content screen 2000 and the proposal schedule content screen.
The process proceeds to 03.

At step Sc03, it is determined whether or not the schedule content corresponding to the designated schedule number stored in schedule storage unit 204 is a proposal schedule or a registration schedule. The determination is made based on whether or not the proposed facility ID is set. In step Sc03, when it is determined that the schedule to be deleted is a registration schedule (the proposed facility ID is not set), the process proceeds to step Sc05. In step Sc03, when it is determined that the schedule to be deleted is a proposal schedule (proposal facility I
D is set), the process proceeds to step Sc04. In step Sc04, the proposal status of the corresponding item of the facility introduction history (the latest facility introduction history item) included in the user personal information data corresponding to the user ID stored in the user personal information data storage unit 206 is displayed. Perform change processing. The facility introduction history includes a provided facility ID and the status of the provided facility ID. Provision facility I
D uses a registrant ID in this embodiment. As for the status, there are three proposal statuses: proposal, re-proposal, and deletion. The status of the proposal is changed to deletion, and the process proceeds to step Sc05.

A step Sc05 reads the previous schedule number and the next schedule number included in the schedule contents, and deletes the schedule contents corresponding to the schedule number. Change the content of the next schedule number included in the scheduled content of the read previous schedule number from the deleted schedule content to the loaded next schedule number, and change the content of the previous schedule number included in the loaded schedule content of the next scheduled number Is changed from the scheduled number of the deleted schedule content to the previous scheduled number read (this is a process of deleting items from the list structure). A step Sc05 creates a schedule deletion completion screen including a message indicating that the schedule has been deleted, and displays it on the user portable terminal. A return button is set on the schedule deletion completion screen. When it is detected in step Sc05 that the return button has been clicked, the process proceeds to step Sc01.

In step Sc01, the date of the schedule content stored in the schedule storage unit 204 is read from the schedule number, the content within the schedule having the same date is read from the schedule content included in the schedule storage unit 204, and the schedule content screen of the day is created. And display it on the user's mobile terminal. The displayed schedule content screen of the day includes the title, start time, and location of the schedule of the day excluding the deleted schedule. As described above, the step Sc of the user correspondence processing 207 relating to the deletion of the schedule proposed by the information providing system including the schedule registered by the user himself and the facility information.
01, Sc10, Sc12, Step Sc03, Step Sc04, and Step Sc05 have been described.

☆ Resetting of the proposal schedule: User response processing 20
7. Next, the process of resetting the proposed schedule when the reset button in steps Sc01 and Sc12 is clicked will be described. The proposal schedule content screen 2100 displayed on the user portable terminal in step Sc12 has a schedule reset button 2108 for the user to reset the proposal schedule. In addition, the day provision screen 1900 displayed on the user portable terminal in step Sc01 includes the information providing system 106.
Description places 1909, 19 for each proposed location proposed by
13 has a schedule reset button labeled "re" for resetting the proposed schedule. In step Sc01, upon detecting that the schedule reset button is clicked, the process proceeds to step Sc06 together with the schedule number of the clicked proposed schedule. Further, when detecting that the schedule reset button 2108 is clicked, the step Sc12 advances the process to the step Sc06 together with the schedule number of the proposed schedule displayed on the proposed schedule content screen.

[0130] Step Sc06 is a facility selection process 213.
(Details of the facility selection process will be described later), and the control unit 202
To be executed. A step Sc06 transfers the scheduled number to the facility selection processing 213 to be started. If there is proposed facility information, the activated facility selection process 213 returns a facility specifying ID (in this embodiment, a registrant ID is used) that specifies the facility information to the calling step. Step Sc06 is the status of the corresponding proposed facility ID included in the facility introduction history included in the user personal information data corresponding to the user ID stored in the user personal information data storage unit 206 from the user ID ( In this case, the proposal status is set to "re-proposal", and a proposal facility ID and a proposal facility status item are newly created and set to the "proposal" status. The process proceeds to step Sc07.

[0131] Step Sc07 is a facility selection process 213.
If the facility identification ID has not been delivered from, the process proceeds to step Sc17. A step Sc17 creates a display screen including a message indicating that there is no information to be proposed, and displays it on the user portable terminal. Step Sc
The screen displayed by 17 includes a return button, and in step Sc17, upon detecting that the return button is clicked, the process proceeds to step Sc01. Step Sc0
1 reads the schedule contents of the date of the day in the schedule storage unit 204, and displays a schedule screen of the day on the user portable terminal. The contents of the displayed schedule on the day are not changed.

Step Sc07 is a facility selection process 213.
If the facility identification ID has been delivered from
The process proceeds to c08. In step Sc08, the title, location, and remarks of the schedule content stored in the schedule storage unit 204 corresponding to the designated schedule number are changed, and the content of the proposed facility ID is passed from the facility selection process 213 to the facility identification. A display screen including a message indicating that a new proposal has been made is displayed on the user portable terminal by rewriting the ID.
The screen displayed by step Sc08 has a return button. When it is detected that the return button is clicked, the process proceeds to step Sc01.
A step Sc01 reads the schedule contents of the date of the day in the schedule storage unit 204, and displays a schedule screen of the day on the user portable terminal. The contents of the event on the displayed event screen are
Includes newly proposed content. The steps Sc01, Sc10, Sc06, Sc07, Sc08, and Sc17 relating to the resetting of the schedule including the facility information of the user handling process 207 have been described above.

The processing of the user handling processing 207 has been described above with reference to FIG. 18 and the display screen used in some processing steps. The user correspondence processing 207 refers to a function for newly registering a schedule by a user, a function for editing a schedule registered by a user, a function for deleting a schedule registered by a user, and a schedule registered by a user. It provides a function, a function of displaying a list registered by the user as a one-day schedule, and a function of displaying a list of schedules registered by the user as a weekly schedule. In addition, a function to refer the facility information registered in the information providing system by multiple facility information registrants to the user as a proposal schedule, a function to reset the proposed schedule, and a proposal with the user's registered schedule It is possible to provide a function of displaying a list of scheduled schedules as one-day schedules, and a function of displaying a list of schedules proposed by the user as schedules of one week together with schedules registered by the user.

Next, the information providing system detects the idle time of each user and sets a new schedule including the facility information registered by the information registrant, that is, sets a proposed schedule in the user's schedule. (A process of setting (generating) and storing a proposal schedule) will be described. The process of setting a proposal schedule is performed using a schedule setting process 211 and a facility selection process 213. The schedule setting process 211 is started at a specified time (for example, 5:00 in the morning, 11:00 in the daytime, and 21:00 at night) according to the setting of the program start timer of the control unit 202, and is executed by the control unit 202. Facility selection processing 21
3 is started from the step of the schedule setting process 211 and is executed by the control unit 202.

FIG. 25 is a diagram showing an example of a flow chart of the schedule setting process 211. Step Se01 and Step Se08 are performed for all users registered in the information providing system from Step Se02 to Step Se07.
Is shown. Hereinafter, steps Se02 to Se07 performed for each user will be described.

In step Se02, the schedule storage unit 204
Reads the contents of the appointment with the user in process and today's date specified in. In step Se03, a free time is extracted from the read one-day schedule. There are two types of idle time extraction performed in step Se03. One is when the user explicitly specifies a vacant time zone (free time), and the other is without specifying the time zone,
This is a case where a vacant time (vacant time) is extracted from previous and subsequent schedules. The explicit designation of the idle time is performed by the schedule editing screen 2 displayed in step Sc15 of the user handling process 207.
This is carried out by inputting data into 2402 and 2403 of 400. The user may input both data 2402 and 2403 or any one of the data.

FIG. 26 is a diagram showing an example of the day schedule screen in which the free time is specified (the free time is input by the user). FIG. 27 is a diagram illustrating an example of a current-day schedule screen that does not specify a free time. The set vacant time is set as the title 2 as shown on the day schedule screen 2600 in FIG.
Indicated as “not yet” in 601 and 602. The “not-yet” state indicates a state in which a vacant time is clearly indicated, but no schedule proposal has been made by the information providing system 106. When the information providing system 106 extracts the idle time, the selection of the facility is subsequently performed by the facility selection process 213. Therefore, the selected schedule is immediately in the state of “proposed” (proposed), and is not in the state of “not yet”. When the user inputs the schedule contents of the set free time, one of the place, subject, accompanying person, etc.
It is described as a keyword when selecting a facility.
In the process of finding the free time from the preceding and following schedules by the schedule setting process 211 in step Se03, the contents of the preceding and following schedules are read from the previous schedule number and the subsequent schedule number, and the available free time is extracted. For example, if the time is one hour or more, the idle time to be extracted can be specified by specifying the length of time such as a proposal. In the case of the first schedule or the last schedule in a day, the length of time can be specified by designating the scheduled start time and scheduled end time of the day from a normal life pattern (data is stored in advance). Can be requested.

Next, there are two types of location selection performed in step Se03. One is the schedule editing screen 2 displayed by the user in step Sc15 of the user handling process 207.
400, the location is explicitly designated as the proposed unset scheduled content. The other is a process in which the information providing system 106 finds a place from the preceding and following schedules. The information providing system 106 reads the contents of the preceding and following schedules from the previous and subsequent schedule numbers, and extracts the respective locations set in the preceding and following schedule contents and the extraction. Based on the set schedule setting, a range in which the user can move to a free time is estimated, and a plurality of location candidates are selected. Of course, if the previous and next scheduled places are the same, the candidates for the place to be selected are also the same place. In addition, in the first schedule or the last schedule in a day, a candidate of a place can be obtained by designating a scheduled start place and a scheduled end place of the day from a normal life pattern.

Next, there is a companion setting process as a process in a case where the companion is not explicitly specified in step Se03. The companion is specified by the type of the companion or the user ID assigned to the companion. If a companion is not specified by the user, the schedule setting process 211
Sets the type of accompanying person or the user ID assigned to the accompanying person. The previous and next scheduled numbers are read from the previous scheduled number and the later scheduled number, and if they are the same accompanying person, they are selected as accompanying persons. Step Se04 and Step Se07 are performed for Step Se05 and Step Se0 for all the free time specified by the user and all the extracted free time.
6 shows a loop for performing step 6. Hereinafter, steps Se05 and Se06 performed for each free time will be described. In step Se05, if the idle time is not explicitly specified, new temporary schedule contents are created. What is described as “temporary” is the facility selection processing 213 described later.
This is because the deletion processing is performed when an appropriate facility is not selected by the user.
16 is not different from the registration processing of the new schedule performed.
A unique number is generated in the schedule storage unit 204 as the schedule number, and the extracted free time, the candidate for the selected place, and the selected accompanying person are stored in the schedule storage unit 204 as new schedule contents.

Next, a step Se05 activates the facility selection process 213 (details of the facility selection process will be described later) and causes the control unit 202 to execute it. A step Se05 transfers the scheduled number to the facility selection processing 213 to be started. The activated facility selection process 213 is for the step Se05 that calls the facility identification ID for specifying the facility information (in this embodiment, the registrant ID is used) when there is proposed facility information. return. If the facility identification ID has not been delivered from the facility selection process 213 in step Se06, the process proceeds to step Se06b. In step Se06b, when a temporary schedule is created in the schedule storage unit 204 in step Se05, the temporary schedule is deleted. In step Se06, the facility selection I
If D has been delivered, the process proceeds to step Se06a. In step Se06a, the schedule storage unit 204 is searched based on the designated schedule number, the schedule content corresponding to the schedule number is acquired, and the title, location, and remarks of the acquired schedule content are changed, and the changed schedule is changed. The contents are stored in the schedule storage unit 204. At this time, the content of the proposed facility ID is set to the facility identification ID (in this embodiment, the registrant ID) passed from the facility selection processing 213. In addition, step Se06a includes, as items of the facility introduction history included in the user personal information data corresponding to the user ID stored in the user personal information data storage unit 206 from the user ID, the proposed facility ID and the proposed facility ID. And set it to the "Proposed" status.

The schedule setting process 211 has been described above using the display screen associated with FIG. The schedule setting process 211 finds the vacant time in today's schedule of each user registered in the information providing system from the schedules before and after, and finds the vacant time found and requests to provide information. It is possible to provide a function of selecting a facility to be provided using the facility selection processing 213, creating a new schedule linked to the facility information, and writing information related to the facility information in the schedule explicitly specified. .

Next, the flow of the facility selection processing 213 will be described. The facility selection process 213 is started by the user response process 207 and the schedule setting process 211, and is executed by the control unit 202 of the information providing system 106. As described above, the facility selection process 213 uses the schedule number passed from the user response process 207 and the schedule setting process 211 and the information on the location where the facility is selected to select the facility registered in the facility data storage unit 205. The searched facility is selected, and a facility specifying ID for specifying the facility is returned to the called process. FIG. 28 is an example of a flowchart of the facility selection processing. In step Sf01, the contents of the schedule are read from the schedule storage unit 204 based on the delivered schedule number, and in step Sf02, the user I
Based on D, information such as gender, age, and preferences, which are personal attributes of the user, and an introduction history are read from the user personal information data storage unit 206. Next step Sf03 and step Sf
Reference numeral 11 denotes a loop for performing processing from step Sf04 to step Sf10 on facility information in which a facility introduction flag is set from all facility information stored in the facility data storage unit 205.

[0143] Steps Sf04 to Sf10 performed for each facility information will be described below. First, in step Sf04, facility data (name, type, location, personal attribute of a user to whom information is to be provided) stored in the facility data storage unit 205 is read. After that, by the determination process from step Sf05 to step Sf09,
Determine the facility information that is appropriate to provide. In step Sf05, the personal attribute read from the user personal information data storage unit 206 in step Sf02 is compared with the personal attribute of the user who should provide the information read from the facility data storage unit 205 in step Sf04. If the personal attributes do not match, step Sf11
To continue the processing for the next facility information. If the personal attributes match, the process proceeds to step Sf06. In step Sf06, the introduction history storing the facility identification ID already introduced to the user read from the user personal information data storage unit 206 in step Sf02 includes the facility identification ID of the facility information to be currently processed. Judge whether it is not done. If the facility information to be processed is included, the process proceeds to step Sf11, and the process is continued for the next facility information. If the facility identification ID of the facility information being processed is not included, the process proceeds to step Sf07.

In step Sf07, step Sf01
In one of the users read from the schedule storage unit 204,
Determine whether there are any duplicate events on the day based on the content of the event. The overlapping schedule is, for example, a movie if it is a movie, and a nearby time zone (for example, if the current time zone of the proposal is 12:00 am, if the current facility to be processed is a place to eat). If it is between 11:00 and 1:00 pm, it is a meal schedule (a ramen shop, a restaurant, etc.) included in 11:00 am to 2:00 pm. In step Sf07, it is checked whether or not the contents included in the title and the location include a phrase indicating a facility of the same type as the facility to be currently processed. By determining whether or not there is an existing schedule, it is determined whether or not there is an overlapping schedule for the facility to be processed. If it is determined in step Sf07 that there is an overlapping schedule, the process proceeds to step Sf11, and the process is continued for the next facility information. If it is determined that no duplicate schedule exists, the process proceeds to step Sf08.

In step Sf08, it is determined whether the facility to be processed is appropriate for the time zone. The appropriate time zone is, for example, 9:00 am as a time zone that should not be proposed if the current facility to be processed is a place to eat.
From 11:00 am to 14:00 pm to 17:00 pm
0. In step Sf08, it is determined whether the facility to be processed is appropriate as the proposed facility using a table indicating a time zone to be proposed based on the type of facility. The table is provided in the information providing system 106. If it is determined in step Sf08 that it is not the time zone to be proposed, the process proceeds to step Sf11;
Processing is continued for the next facility information. If it is determined that it is a time zone to be proposed, the process is performed in step Sf0
Proceed to 9.

In step Sf09, it is determined whether the facility to be processed is suitable for the accompanying person. If the accompanying person is appropriate, for example, if a lover, a ramen shop, a set meal shop, or the like is inappropriate as a meal place. In step Sf09, it is determined whether or not the facility to be processed is appropriate as a proposed facility using a table in which accompanying persons suitable for the type of facility are described. The table is provided in the information providing system 106. In step Sf09, when it is determined that the facility to be processed is inappropriate, the process proceeds to step Sf11, and the process is continued for the next facility information. If it is determined that the facility to be processed is appropriate, the process proceeds to step Sf10. In step Sf10, the current facility to be processed is added to the candidate facility list as a facility candidate to be proposed. If the proposed facility is the first candidate, a list of candidate facilities is created and added as a candidate facility. Of course,
The list of candidate facilities is a facility identification ID that uniquely identifies the facility
In this embodiment, the registrant ID is used.

Step Sf11 is the facility data storage unit 2.
When the process from step Sf05 to step Sf10 is completed for the facility information under facility introduction stored in 05, the process proceeds to step Sf12. In step Sf12, one facility is randomly selected from among the proposed candidate facilities created and stored in step Sf10, and the selected facility is selected with respect to the schedule setting process 211 or the user correspondence process 207 that is the calling source. Facility identification ID (in this embodiment, registrant I
D) is returned as the facility selection ID. In step Sf12, the control unit 202 activates the facility introduction aggregation process 212. The facility introduction aggregation process 212 started by the control unit 202 is a facility data storage unit 2 corresponding to the facility identification ID.
The contents of the facility introduction totaling result are updated using the facility introducing totaling result in 05 and the total introduction history stored in the user personal information data storage unit 206. Further, the value of the number of introduced cases in the facility data storage unit 205 corresponding to the selected facility is increased by one. In step Sf12, the control unit 202 starts an end notification process 209. The end notification process 209 started by the control unit 202 will be described later. Then, the schedule setting process 211 ends its own process.

As described above, with reference to FIG.
The process 3 has been described.

Next, when the period set by the information registrant has expired or when the number of facilities introduced has reached the number of introductions, a process for notifying the information registrant that the introduction of the facility has been completed is performed. Describe. The end notification process 209 is started in step Sf12 of the facility selection process 213, and is executed by the control unit 202. When activating the end notification process 209, a facility identification ID (in this embodiment, a registrant ID) for identifying a facility is given. Also, an end notification process 209
Is started every day by the program start timer setting of the control unit 202, and is executed by the control unit 202. FIG.
Is an example of a flowchart of the processing of the end notification processing 209. A step Sd01 checks whether or not the number of introduced facilities has reached the number of introduced facilities. The number of introduced items stored in the facility data storage unit 205 is the facility identification I given at the time of startup.
If the number of introduced items of the facility information corresponding to D matches the number of introduced items, the process proceeds to step Sd02. If they do not match, the end notification processing 209 ends.

In step Sd02, in order to stop the facility introduction processing, the flag indicating that the area of the facility information corresponding to the facility identification ID given at the time of starting is being introduced is deleted.
A step Sd03 sends an e-mail including contents indicating that the introduction of the facility has been completed to the e-mail address of the information registrant stored in the facility data storage unit 205. FIG. 30 is another form of a flowchart of the end notification processing 209. Step Sd101 is equivalent to step Sd0
As in the case of 1, it is confirmed whether the number of introduced facilities has reached the number of introduced facilities. If it has reached, the process proceeds to step Sd02. If not, the end notification process 209 ends. In step Sd102, similarly to step Sd02, the flag indicating that the facility is being introduced is deleted to stop the facility introduction process. Step Sd102 is similar to the procedure for creating a download file performed in step Sb13 of the registrant correspondence process of FIG. 11, and includes the contents of the counting result stored in the facility data storage unit 205 registered in advance, the archive file Creates a download file using the format and the maximum size of the download file.

In step Sd103, the facility introduction totalization result is deleted from the facility data storage unit 205. Step Sd
A mail 104 is attached to the mail address of the information registrant stored in the facility data storage unit 205, together with a mail indicating that the introduction process of the facility has been completed, and a mail attached with the created download file. As described above, the procedure for notifying the information registrant that the facility introduction process has been completed and the procedure for notifying that the facility introduction process has been completed and sending the information including the results of the facility introduction are described. did.

Embodiment 2 In this embodiment, an example of an information providing system that presents facility information in consideration of external factors and time factors will be described. An embodiment in which an information registrant specifies external factors (weather, temperature, humidity, etc.) and time factors (day, time, date, etc.) when using facilities as conditions for providing facility information to a user will be described. I do. The information providing system described in the present embodiment provides facility information in consideration of external factors such as weather, temperature, and humidity, and time factors such as time, day of the week, and date. Factors and time factors are roughly specified. for that reason,
The information registrant can obtain a more effective advertisement function by introducing a facility.

First, in order to construct this embodiment,
It is necessary to add, to the information providing system, a time providing unit that provides the current time, day of the week, and date, and an external factor acquiring unit that is a means for acquiring an external factor. The time providing unit calculates a time, a day of the week, and a date by using a clock and calendar information built in an ordinary personal computer, a UNIX workstation (“UNIX” is a registered trademark), and provides a time factor. The external factor obtaining unit obtains external factors such as weather, temperature, and humidity by using a service of the Meteorological Service Support Center (goods) that provides data observed by the Japan Meteorological Agency online. Other configurations are the same as those described in the first embodiment with reference to FIGS.

In order to construct the present embodiment, in order to provide a function for setting an external factor and a time factor when providing information to the information registrant, the registrant correspondence processing 2 shown in FIG.
It is necessary to add processing to 10 steps.
First, step Sb0 of the registrant correspondence process 210 of FIG.
