Hereinafter, a method, a procedure, a timing, and the like for calculating the similarity will be described separately for the case of calculating the similarity between users and the case of calculating the similarity between action record information.

  (1) When calculating the similarity between users

  (1-1) For example, each time the current position information reception unit 1122 or the theme information reception unit 1123 receives user identification information, the similarity calculation unit 115 and the user identified by the user identification information The degree of similarity with each user is calculated. In this case, for example, the similarity calculating unit 115 first acquires one or more action record information corresponding to the received user identification information from the action record information storage unit 1111. The set of the one or more action record information is set as the own user action record information group. Also, the similarity calculation unit 115 acquires one or more action record information corresponding to user identification information other than the received user identification information from the action record information storage unit 1111 for each user identification information. A set of one or more action record information for each user identification information is set as a different user action record information group. Then, the similarity calculation unit 115 calculates the similarity between the own user action record information group and one or more different user action record information groups. For example, each time the similarity is calculated, the similarity calculation unit 115 associates the user identification information corresponding to each of the two sets of the action record information used for calculating the similarity, for example, the action record The information is stored in the information storage unit 1111. At this time, the similarity calculation unit 115 may accumulate in the storage unit 111, for example.

The similarity with one or more users is calculated. Since the method and procedure for calculating the similarity between users in this case are the same as in (1-1) above, description thereof will be omitted. That is, in this case, the similarity calculation unit 115 receives the user identification information associated with the accumulated action record information received by the current position information reception unit 1122 or the theme information reception unit 1123 in (1-1) above. The similarity is calculated as user identification information.

  (1-3) The similarity calculation unit 115 calculates the similarity between users periodically (every time a predetermined period elapses), for example. In this case, for example, the similarity calculation unit 115 first acquires all user identification information from the behavior record information storage unit 1111 without duplication.

The point information corresponding to the current position information is point information related to a point including the current position indicated by the current position information. The map information is map information stored in the terminal storage unit 121. In addition, for example, when the spot information to be acquired is the same as the spot information acquired immediately before, the terminal acquisition unit 123 does not acquire the spot information. Further, the terminal acquisition unit 123 accumulates the acquired point information in the terminal storage unit 121, for example. In addition, action record information including the one or more pieces of spot information is accumulated in the terminal storage unit 121 by the accumulation.

  In addition, the terminal acquisition unit 123 acquires point information from when the recording start condition is satisfied until the recording end condition is satisfied, for example. The recording start condition is a condition for starting acquisition of point information. The recording end condition is a condition for ending the acquisition of point information. Further, the recording start condition may be, for example, a condition for starting acquisition of current position information.

The time when the action record information is acquired is, for example, the time when the acquisition and accumulation of the point information by the terminal acquisition unit 123 ends. For example, the terminal transmission unit 124 transmits the current position information every time the terminal reception unit 122 receives a transmission instruction. For example, the terminal transmission unit 124 transmits the theme information every time the terminal reception unit 122 receives the theme information. Moreover, when transmitting action record information, the terminal transmission part 124 deletes action record information from the terminal storage part 121 after transmission of the said action record information.
