The type information included in the transportation means determination information may be only “one or more sightseeing spots”.

  The accepting unit 2 accepts instructions and information. The instructions and information are guide book information, for example. Guidebook information is information about travel or tourism. Here, the guide book information may be an image acquired from a paper medium, a web page related to travel or tourism, or page information of an electronic book of a guide related to travel or tourism. Note that the image acquired from the paper medium is usually an image acquired by scanning the paper medium.

  It is preferable that the reception unit 2 receives guidebook information by scanning the guidebook.

  The instruction or information received by the receiving unit 2 is one or more pieces of operation information. Any means such as a scanner, a keyboard, a mouse, or a menu screen may be used as an input unit for instructions and information. The accepting unit 2 can be realized by a device driver for input means such as a keyboard, control software for a menu screen, or the like. The receiving unit 2 may receive instructions, information, and the like from an external device (for example, a terminal device not shown). The acceptance here means reading an image using a scanner, accepting information input from an input device such as a keyboard, mouse, touch panel, receiving information transmitted via a wired or wireless communication line, an optical disc, It is a concept including reception of information read from a recording medium such as a magnetic disk or a semiconductor memory.

  The operation reception unit 21 receives one or more operations of the user with respect to the supplement source information. The reception of operation may be considered as reception of operation information. The operation information is information for specifying an operation. The supplement source information is, for example, map information, street view, web page, and the like. The operation is, for example, a map operation that is an operation for map information or a street view operation that is an operation for street view.

  Map operations include, for example, a zoom-in operation [i] for changing the scale of the operation target, a zoom-out operation [o], a moving operation [m] for changing the display range of the object, an arbitrary object, etc. in the center of the screen. There is a centering operation [c] to be moved, and a note designation operation [s] which is an operation for centering an object whose place name or name is noted on a map. The street view operation includes, for example, a zoom-in operation [I], a zoom-out operation [O], a movement operation [M], a surrounding confirmation operation [P], and a height confirmation operation [T]. Here, the surrounding confirmation operation [P] is an operation of moving the screen left and right on the street view. The height confirmation operation [T] is an operation for moving the screen up and down on the street view. Since the centering operation on the street view is replaced by the P operation and the T operation, the P operation and the T operation include centering.

  The selection receiving unit 22 receives a user's selection for one or more supplementary information acquired by a supplementary information acquiring unit 34 to be described later. Any user selection input means may be used.

Then, the key information extraction unit 31 acquires one or more terms from each character string. And the key information extraction part 31 acquires 1 or more object information and 1 or more area | region information contained in map information among the acquired 1 or more terms. A technique for acquiring one or more terms from a character string is, for example, a known technique such as morphological analysis.

  The supplement source information acquisition unit 32 acquires supplement source information using one or more pieces of key information. The replenishment source information is information that is a source of supplementing guidebook information. The supplement source information is, for example, map information, street view, or a web page. Further, the supplement source information may be supplement information described later.

  For example, the replenishment source information acquisition unit 32 acquires operable map information corresponding to one or more pieces of key information.

  The replenishment source information acquisition unit 32 acquires, for example, map information of a region including all key information acquired by the key information extraction unit 31 (this region is referred to as “MBR (Minimum Bounding Rectangle)”, for example). The supplement source information acquisition unit 32 acquires map information from the map information storage unit 111 or an external device (not shown). The key information here is object information or area information. For example, the supplement source information acquisition unit 32 acquires two or more pieces of position information corresponding to each key information from the map information. Then, for example, the supplement source information acquisition unit 32 determines the latitude (x1) from the west, the latitude (x2) from the east, the longitude (y1) from the north, and the south from the position information of two or more. Is acquired, and (x1, y1) (x2, y2) is acquired. That is, the replenishment source information acquisition unit 32 acquires map information in a rectangular range specified by (x1, y1) (x2, y2), for example. The MBR is a minimum rectangle including all input object information (which may be referred to as all place names).

  The replenishment source information acquisition unit 32 corresponds to one or more pieces of key information from map information including one or more pieces of object comprehensive information including object information, position information indicating the position of the object, and type information indicating the type of the object. The operable map information may be acquired.

  The replenishment source information acquisition unit 32 may acquire, for example, map information of an area including key information at a ratio equal to or higher than a threshold in the key information acquired by the key information extraction unit 31.

  For example, the replenishment source information acquisition unit 32 acquires one or more pieces of position information corresponding to one or more pieces of key information from map information, and selects a street view corresponding to one or more pieces of position information of the one or more pieces of position information. You may get it.

  Further, the replenishment source information acquisition unit 32 may perform a web search using any one or more of one or more key information as a key, and may acquire one or more web pages.

  The object-of-interest acquisition unit 33 acquires one or more pieces of object information from the supplement source information based on one or more operations.

  The attention object acquisition unit 33 may acquire two or more pieces of attention object information from the replenishment source information using two or more pieces of operation information.

  The attention object acquisition unit 33 includes, for example, an operation chunk detection means 331 and an attention object acquisition means 334. Two or more pieces of attention object information are obtained from the replenishment source information using two or more pieces of operation information by the two means. You may get

  The attention object acquisition unit 33 includes, for example, an operation chunk detection unit 331, an object acquisition unit 332, an interest level acquisition unit 333, and an attention object acquisition unit 334. The four units use two or more pieces of operation information. Thus, two or more pieces of attention object information may be acquired from the replenishment source information.

  The operation chunk detection unit 331 detects from the chunk storage unit 112 an operation chunk that matches two or more pieces of operation information received by the operation receiving unit 21. The operation chunk detection means 331 determines whether or not two or more operation information patterns received by the operation reception unit 21 match each chunk stored in the chunk storage unit 112, and detects a matching chunk. . The chunk detection may be to acquire an identifier for identifying the chunk, to acquire information that is paired with the chunk from the chunk storage unit 112, or the like. The operation chunk detection unit 331 may use any trigger that attempts to detect a chunk that matches two or more pieces of operation information. The operation chunk detection unit 331 may try to detect a chunk that matches two or more pieces of operation information every time an operation is accepted, or two or more operations when the accepting unit 2 accepts an instruction to output supplement information. An attempt may be made to detect a chunk whose information matches.

  The operation chunk detection unit 331 may detect a map operation chunk that matches two or more pieces of operation information received by the operation receiving unit 21.

  The operation chunk detection unit 331 may detect a street view operation chunk that matches two or more pieces of operation information received by the operation receiving unit 21.

  The operation chunk detection means 331 may detect a map / street view switching operation chunk that matches two or more pieces of operation information received by the operation receiving unit 21.

  The object acquisition unit 332 acquires one or more pieces of object information using one or more supplement source information. The object acquisition unit 332 is, for example, one or more pieces of replenishment source information, and obtains one or more pieces of object information from the replenishment source information in the output range. Here, the object acquisition unit 332 may acquire all the object information in the replenishment source information in the output range.

  Further, the object acquisition unit 332 is, for example, one or more pieces of replenishment source information, and obtains one or more pieces of object information satisfying a predetermined condition from the replenishment source information in the output range. Here, the predetermined condition includes a range condition related to the output range, a time condition related to the output time, and the like. The range condition is, for example, the closest to the center of the output supplement source information, being within the threshold range from the center of the output supplement source information, and all the output supplement source information being output. For example, it exists within a fan-shaped range within the + −threshold (for example, within + −30 degrees) of the angle indicated by the angle information from the center of the replenishment source information. The time condition is, for example, that the output time is one or more pieces of object information in the replenishment source information that is longer than the threshold or longer than the threshold. In addition, the predetermined condition may be an AND condition of two or more conditions including a range condition and a time condition. The replenishment source information is, for example, map information, street view, a web page, or the like. The replenishment source information is preferably an operable operation target. Further, all object information acquired by the object acquisition unit 332 may be target object information.

  The degree-of-interest acquisition unit 333 acquires the degree of interest in the object indicated by the one or more pieces of object information acquired by the object acquisition unit 332, using one or more pieces of operation information for the operation on one or more supplement source information. Using one or more pieces of operation information includes using an operation result. In addition, using one or more pieces of operation information includes using no operation information. The interest level acquisition unit 333 sets, for example, the interest level of one or more pieces of object information included in the replenishment source information output as a result of the operation to a higher value as it is closer to the center of the output replenishment source information. Also, the interest level acquisition unit 333 sets the interest level to a higher value as the replenishment source information is output for a longer time, for example. In addition, for example, when the time when the replenishment source information is output is equal to or longer than the threshold value or longer than the threshold value, the interest level acquisition unit 333 is interested in one or more pieces of object information in the range output in the replenishment source information. Set the degree to “Interested”. In such a case, the degree of interest is either “interested” or “not interested”. In addition, the interest level acquisition unit 333 outputs, for example, the degree of interest of one or more pieces of object information included in the replenishment source information output as a result of the operation, the closer to the center of the output replenishment source information. Set the value higher as the time is longer.

  The interest level acquisition unit 333 preferably acquires the interest level of the object using the stay time of the screen (supplement source information), the area of the display screen (supplement source information), angle information, and longitude / latitude information. The angle information is information on the angle of the street view camera. The longitude / latitude information is an example of position information, and includes information on the longitude and latitude of the point. For example, if the stay of the screen is less than 5 seconds, the degree of interest is low, and if the stay of the screen is 5 seconds or more, the user is considered to be interested in some object related to the screen. Then, the interest level acquisition unit 333 determines the interest level according to, for example, the residence time of the screen on which the object is displayed or the number of times the object is centered. In such a case, the interest level acquisition unit 333 usually sets the interest level higher as the residence time is longer and the number of times of centering is larger.

  The interest level acquisition unit 333 may acquire the interest level associated with the matched chunk from the storage unit 1.

  The object-of-interest acquisition unit 334, when the operation chunk detection unit 331 detects an operation chunk, among one or more object information included in the replenishment source information that is output, one or more objects that satisfy a predetermined condition Get information. The one or more pieces of object information included in the replenishment source information are, for example, object information included in map information, object information included in street view, and object information included in a web page. The object information here may be called attention object information.

  Attention object acquisition means 334, when operation chunk detection means 331 detects a map operation chunk, among one or more object information included in the output map information, one or more attention objects that satisfy a predetermined condition Get information. The object-of-interest information that satisfies a predetermined condition is, for example, one piece of object information that corresponds to position information that is within the range on the output map and is closest to the center. Further, the target object information satisfying a predetermined condition is, for example, one or more pieces of object information corresponding to position information within a range from the center within a range on the output map.

  When the operation chunk detection unit 331 detects a street view operation chunk, the target object acquisition unit 334 acquires one or more pieces of object information of the object shown in the output street view. When the operation chunk detection unit 331 detects a street view operation chunk, the object-of-interest acquisition unit 334 determines, for example, one or more pieces of object information included in the map information corresponding to the output street view. One or more target object information satisfying the condition is acquired. The map information corresponding to the street view is usually map information of an area including the position of the position information acquired from the street view.

  The attention object acquisition unit 334 acquires one or more attention object information of one or more objects that are so large that the degree of interest acquired by the interest level acquisition unit 333 satisfies a predetermined condition.

  The transportation means acquisition unit 35 acquires a transportation means identifier from the transportation means storage unit 113 using one or more types of information corresponding to the one or more attention object information acquired by the attention object acquisition means 334. The transportation means acquisition unit 35 acquires, for example, one or more types of information corresponding to one or more pieces of attention object information acquired by the attention object acquisition means 334 from the map information. And the transportation means acquisition part 35 acquires the transportation means identifier corresponding to the said 1 or more types information from the transportation means storage part 113, for example.

  The transportation means acquisition unit 35 may obtain a transportation means identifier from the transportation means storage unit 113 using one or more types of information corresponding to the one or more key information extracted by the key information extraction unit 31.

When the operation is accepted, the process goes to step S207, and when the operation is not accepted, the process goes to step S210.

  (Step S207) The operation receiving unit 21 acquires operation information corresponding to the operation received in Step S206. Further, the processing unit 3 may acquire other information. The other information here is, for example, one or more pieces of information such as a dwell time, angle information, and longitude / latitude information on a screen (map information or street view screen) before an operation is performed. The angle information is information for specifying the angle of the street view camera. The longitude / latitude information is one or more pieces of position information representing a screen (map information or a street view screen) after the operation is performed or before the operation is performed. The representative one or more position information includes, for example, position information of the center of the screen, one or more position information corresponding to the object information in the screen, and two or more position information indicating the range of the screen (for example, position information on the upper left) Lower right position information). In this step, operation information and the like are acquired. The operation information and the like includes operation information and includes 0 or one or more other information. Moreover, the process which acquires angle information and longitude / latitude information from a street view, the process which acquires longitude / latitude information from map information, etc. are well-known techniques.

  (Step S208) The processing unit 3 acquires the replenishment source information whose output has been changed according to the acquired operation information. The replenishment source information output unit 42 outputs the changed replenishment source information.

  (Step S216) The processing unit 3 determines whether or not one or more supplementary information is to be output. If the supplement information is output, the process goes to step S217. If the supplement information is not output, the process goes to step S218. For example, the supplement information is output when the reception unit 2 receives an instruction to output supplement information, or when it is detected that the selection by the user is completed.

  (Step S217) The supplement information output unit 43 outputs one or more supplement information candidates to which a flag is assigned as supplement information. The output here is preferably printing. The process returns to step S206.

  (Step S218) The processing unit 3 determines whether or not to end the process. If the process ends, the process ends. If not, the process returns to step S206. For example, the process ends when the user inputs an end instruction, or when the supplement information output unit 43 prints supplement information.

  In the flowchart of FIG. 2, the replenishment source information may be output as the replenishment information in step S205. In such a case, the user does not have to perform operations on the supplement source information.

  (Step S305) The replenishment source information acquisition unit 32 determines the range of map information to be acquired using the one or more pieces of position information acquired in step S303. Normally, the supplement source information acquisition unit 32 determines a range that includes all the points indicated by the one or more pieces of position information acquired in step S303. Such processing is a known technique.

  (Step S306) The replenishment source information acquisition unit 32 acquires the map information in the range determined in step S305.

  (Step S307) The replenishment source information acquisition unit 32 determines whether to output a street view. If the street view is output, the process goes to step S308. If the street view is not output, the process goes to step S310. For example, whether or not to output a street view is determined in advance. Also, for example, a street view is output according to a user instruction.

  (Step S308) The replenishment source information acquisition unit 32 determines the street view to be acquired from the range determined in step S305. Note that the replenishment source information acquisition unit 32 acquires, for example, position information of the center in the range determined in step S305.

  (Step S309) The supplement source information acquisition unit 32 acquires the street view determined in step S308.

  (Step S310) The supplement source information acquisition unit 32 determines whether to output a web page. If the web page is output, the process goes to step S311. If the web page is not output, the process returns to the upper process. For example, whether or not to output a web page is determined in advance. For example, a web page is output according to a user instruction.

  (Step S311) The replenishment source information acquisition unit 32 performs a web search using one or more key information extracted in step S203 as a key.

  Next, the attention object acquisition process of step S211 is demonstrated using the flowchart of FIG.

  (Step S401) The object-of-interest acquisition unit 33 substitutes 1 for a counter i and 2 for a counter j.

  (Step S402) The object-of-interest acquisition unit 33 acquires the i-th to j-th operation information sequence from the storage unit 1.

  (Step S403) The object-of-interest acquisition unit 33 determines whether or not the i-th to j-th operation information strings have been acquired in step S402. If it can be acquired, the process goes to step S404, and if it cannot be acquired, the process returns to the upper process.

  (Step S404) The operation chunk detection means 331 substitutes 1 for the counter k.

  (Step S405) The operation chunk detection means 331 determines whether or not the k th chunk exists in the chunk storage unit 112. If the kth chunk exists,

  (Step S406) The operation chunk detection means 331 determines whether or not the operation information sequence from the i-th to the j-th matches the pattern of the k-th chunk. If they match, go to step S407, otherwise go to step S409.

  (Step S407) The target object acquisition unit 33 determines a target object corresponding to the kth chunk. The attention object determination process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  (Step S410) The object-of-interest acquisition unit 33 substitutes j + 1 for the counter j. The process returns to step S402.

  In the flowchart of FIG. 4, it is determined whether or not the operation information sequence from the i-th to the j-th matches all the chunks, and the target object corresponding to each of one or more matching chunks is acquired. Also good.

  Next, the attention object determination process in step S407 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  (Step S501) The object acquisition unit 332 acquires object information of one or more objects in the output replenishment source information. The object acquisition unit 332 acquires, for example, one or more pieces of object information in the output map information. In addition, the object acquisition unit 332 specifies, for example, an area in the map information using the longitude / latitude information and angle information of the output street view, and one or more pieces of object information in the map information of the area To get.

  (Step S502) The object-of-interest acquisition unit 33 substitutes 1 for a counter i.

  (Step S503) The object-of-interest acquisition unit 33 determines whether or not the i-th object information exists in the object information acquired in step S501. If it exists, the process goes to step S504, and if it does not exist, the process returns to the upper process.

  (Step S504) The degree-of-interest acquisition unit 333 acquires the degree-of-interest source information that is the basis for acquiring the degree of interest in the object information. The interest level source information includes, for example, position information paired with object information, position information of the center of replenishment source information being output, angle information, browsing time of replenishment source information including object information, and the like. In addition, the interest level acquisition unit 333 acquires, for example, the distance from the position indicated by the position information of the object information to the position indicated by the center position information. In addition, you may think that this distance is also interest level original information.

  (Step S505) The interest level acquisition unit 333 acquires the interest level by using one or more interest level source information. The interest level acquisition unit 333 acquires the interest level using, for example, the above browsing time and distance. For example, the storage unit 1 manages an interest level calculation function using browsing time and distance as parameters, and the interest level is calculated using the functions. Further, the interest level calculation function is an increase function using the viewing time as a parameter, and a decrease function using the distance as a parameter. Further, two or more pairs of browsing time width information and interest level are stored in the storage unit 1, and the interest level acquisition unit 333 acquires the interest level corresponding to the acquired browsing time from the storage unit 1.

When it is attention object information, it goes to step S507, and when it is not attention object information, it goes to step S508. Note that the object-of-interest acquisition unit 334 determines, for example, only object information with an interest level equal to or greater than a threshold value as object-of-interest information.

  (Step S507) The attention object acquisition unit 334 adds a flag indicating that the object is the attention object to the i-th object information.

  (Step S508) The object-of-interest acquisition unit 33 increments the counter i by 1. The process returns to step S503.

  In the flowchart of FIG. 5, the interest level acquisition unit 333 assigns the interest level (for example, “1”) only to the object information having the minimum distance (closest to the center). You may do it.

  In the flowchart of FIG. 5, the attention object acquisition unit 33 may determine the attention object information after acquiring the degree of interest for all the object information.

  Furthermore, in the flowchart of FIG. 5, the attention object acquisition unit 33 may determine attention object information without using the interest level. For example, the attention object acquisition unit 33 determines that one or more object information satisfying a predetermined condition is attention object information.

  Hereinafter, a specific operation of the guide information proposing device A in the present embodiment will be described. First, the outline | summary of operation | movement of the guide information proposal apparatus A is demonstrated using FIG.

  A tourist scans geographical tourist information (for example, a guidebook used for travel) with a scanner. Reference numeral 601 in FIG. 6 indicates guidebook information held by the user. Here, the guidebook information includes a map of Kinkakuji, a map of Kiyomizudera, and a guidebook page of a temple in Kyoto. That is, the guidebook information received by the receiving unit 2 may be two or more.

  Then, the guide information proposing device A scans the guide book information. And the reception part 2 receives this guidebook information. Next, the key information extraction unit 31 performs character recognition on the scanned guidebook information and acquires one or more pieces of object information. Then, the replenishment source information acquisition unit 32 acquires map information that is an MBR including an area where one or more pieces of object information are included. The replenishment source information here is map information. Then, the supplement source information output unit 42 displays the map information. Then, the output unit 4 superimposes and displays the map included in the scanned guidebook information on the map information (wide area map). This output is 602. Further, the map information 602 is operable. Further, it is assumed that the map information 602 is displayed on a touch display, for example. Further, the processing unit 3 may identify a language from the guidebook information received by the receiving unit 2 and acquire a language identifier (for example, English, Japanese). Then, the replenishment source information acquisition unit 32 may acquire replenishment source information of a language that matches the language identifier. In addition, it is preferable that the supplement information acquisition unit 34 also acquires supplement information of a language that matches the language identifier.

  Next, the user operates the map information 602 (603). The operation includes, for example, zooming in, zooming out, moving, centering, and the like. The object-of-interest acquisition unit 33 analyzes the sequence of operations and acquires one or more object-of-interest information (604). Further, the transportation means acquisition unit 35 obtains a transportation means identifier by the above-described processing. And the supplement information acquisition part 34 performs a web search using one or more attention object information and a transportation means identifier, and acquires one or more supplement information candidates. Then, the user inputs an instruction to select one or more supplementary information candidates, and the supplementary information acquisition unit 34 acquires the selected one or more supplementary information candidates as supplementary information. Next, the supplement information output unit 43 outputs one or more supplement information. Here, it is preferable that the supplement information output unit 43 prints one or more supplement information.

  Next, details of an operation example of the guide information proposing device A will be described.

In the chunk storage unit 112 of the guide information proposing device A, there are a map operation chunk management table shown in FIG. 7, a street view operation chunk management table shown in FIG. 8, and a map / street view switching operation chunk management table shown in FIG. Suppose that it is stored. The three management tables have attribute values of “chunk name”, “user operation”, “object acquisition method”, and “degree of interest”. “Chunk name” is the name of the chunk. "User operation" is an operation sequence pattern for matching a chunk. It may be said that “user operation” is a chunk. “Object acquisition method” is information relating to an object acquisition method. Here, the “object acquisition method” is an acquisition method identifier for identifying an object acquisition method. The acquisition method identifier may be a program name, a function name, a method name, or the like. The “degree of interest” is the degree of interest given to the object information acquired using the object acquisition method. In FIG. 7 to FIG. 9, “ ^* ” means zero or more repetitions, and “ ⁺ ” means one or more repetitions.

  The “local display chunk” in the map operation chunk management table of FIG. 7 is an operation for limiting the display range and confirming a certain point from the vicinity. This is an operation sequence when a point of interest is approached by the m operation, the s operation, and the c operation, and detailed confirmation is performed by the i operation. Confirming a certain point from the vicinity is considered to be interested in the point, so that the locally displayed object is considered to be interested. At this time, the acquisition method identifier is “nearest object acquisition (c)”. When the acquisition method identifier is “nearest object acquisition (c)”, the attention object acquisition unit 33 acquires information on the nearest object at the center point at the time of the c operation as attention object information. The nearest object of the center point is an object that is present at a position closest to the center point.

  The “note designation chunk” in FIG. 7 is an operation in which the user centers a note written on the map, such as a place name or an object name. Normally, centering in a map is considered to be interested in a point, but since a note character is attached, it is considered that an object to which the note character is attached is interested in that point. This operation is an operation sequence when the m operation is performed zero or more times after the detailed confirmation is performed by the i operation, and the s operation is performed. At this time, the acquisition method identifier is “nearest object acquisition (s)”. When the acquisition method identifier is “nearest neighbor object acquisition (s)”, the attention object acquisition unit 33 acquires, as attention object information, the place name or name assigned to the nearest object of the center point at the time of the s operation.

  The “movement chunk” in FIG. 7 is an operation in which the user moves the display range of the map. A moving operation is performed in order to see the vicinity of the point where the user is currently viewing. Since this operation is an operation performed for the user to see a point in a wide range, it is considered that the user is interested in the vicinity of the movement start point and the movement end point. This operation is an operation sequence when m operation is performed and m operation and c operation are performed 0 times or more. Consider the scale of the approximate map generated by this operation. It is assumed that only the movement chunk is not an operation sequence for acquiring target object information.

  The “wide search chunk” in FIG. 7 is to perform the o operation and 0 times or more after performing the o operation and to perform the s operation and c operation once or more in order to see the vicinity of the point where the user is currently viewing. This is an operation for determining a point of interest to the user. At this time, the acquisition method identifier is “nearest object acquisition (sc)”. When the acquisition method identifier is “nearest object acquisition (sc)”, the object-of-interest acquisition unit 33 acquires information of the nearest object at the point centered by the s operation and the c operation as object object information.

  The “squeezed chunk” in FIG. 7 indicates that the user is performing an i operation at least once on the currently displayed point, and that the user is interested in the newly displayed detailed map 0 times or more. This is an operation of narrowing down the target range of interest by performing the c operation one or more times after the m operation. At this time, the acquisition method identifier is “nearest object acquisition (c)”. When the acquisition method identifier is “nearest object acquisition (c)”, the attention object acquisition unit 33 acquires information on the nearest object at the center point at the time of the c operation as attention object information.

  In the street view operation chunk management table of FIG. 8, “Movement chunk is an operation to change the current location from one point to another. This operation is performed by the M operation. Only the movement chunk contains the object information of interest. It is not the operation sequence to be acquired.

  “Ambient confirmation chunk” in FIG. 8 is an operation of confirming the surrounding of a certain point. The surroundings are confirmed by moving the screen by P operation and T operation. By performing this operation, it is considered that the user is interested in the arrangement relationship of objects around the point. At this time, the acquisition method identifier is “object (P | T)”. When the acquisition method identifier is “object (P | T)”, the object-of-interest acquisition unit 33 acquires information on the object at the time of the P or T operation as object-of-interest information.

  The “point confirmation chunk” in FIG. 8 is an operation of paying attention to a certain point and confirming the point in detail. This operation is an operation for confirming the vicinity by performing the I operation after the P operation and the T operation zero or more times. By the I operation after the P operation and the T operation, it is considered that the user is interested in the object that has performed the I operation. At this time, the acquisition method identifier is “object (I)”. When the acquisition method identifier is “object (I)”, the attention object acquisition unit 33 acquires object information at the time of the I operation as attention object information.

  The “high / low confirmation chunk” in FIG. 8 is an operation of paying attention to an object at a certain point and confirming the height. This operation is an operation for performing a T operation after zero or more P operations and T operations, and confirming the height by moving the screen up and down. It is considered that the user is interested in the object subjected to the T operation. At this time, the acquisition method identifier is “object (T)”. When the acquisition method identifier is “object (T)”, the attention object acquisition unit 33 acquires the object at the time of the T operation as the attention object.

  “Absolute point confirmation chunk” in the map / street view switching operation chunk management table of FIG. 9 is an operation sequence performed when switching from the map to the street view, and a user who is interested in the object on the map This is an operation of trying to view the object again in the street view. After the local display chunk in the map operation chunk, it is an operation chunk when switching to street view and performing a point confirmation chunk that is a street view operation chunk after M operations of 0 times or more. The user who performed this operation chunk is considered to have great interest in the object. At this time, the acquisition method identifier is “object (I)”. When the acquisition method identifier is “object (I)”, the attention object acquisition unit 33 acquires the object at the time of the I operation as the attention object.

  The “relative point confirmation chunk” in FIG. 9 is an operation sequence that is performed when switching from the street view to the map. A user who is interested in an object on the street view displays the position of the object, This is an operation for knowing the positional relationship of surrounding objects. After the M operation is performed zero or more times on the street view, the point confirmation chunk that is the street view operation chunk is switched to the map from the last screen displayed, and zero or more i operations, s operations, and c operations are performed. This is an operation chunk when. The user who performed this operation chunk is considered to be interested in the positional relationship of the object of interest. At this time, the acquisition method identifier is “all objects (sc)”. When the acquisition method identifier is “all objects (sc)”, the object-of-interest acquisition unit 33 acquires information of all the objects on the map that are output at the time of the sc operation as object-of-interest information.

  The “multi-point confirmation chunk” in FIG. 9 is an operation sequence that is performed when switching from street view to map and then switching to street view, and an operation to check a plurality of points from both the map and street view. It is. Confirm the object of interest in the point confirmation chunk, which is a street view operation chunk, switch to the map and perform the o operation to expand the scale, and after m operation, another object of interest by m operation, s operation and c operation more than 0 times. Find out. After that, it is an operation chunk when the attention is focused on another object of interest by performing a narrowing chunk in the map operation chunk, switching to street view, and P operation and T operation are performed after 0 or more M operations. . The user who performed this operation chunk is considered to have considerable interest in a plurality of points. At this time, the acquisition method identifier is “object (I), nearest neighbor object acquisition (c)”. When the acquisition method identifier is “object (I), nearest object acquisition (c)”, the object-of-interest acquisition unit 33 acquires object information at the time of I operation as object-of-interest information and the latest at the time of c operation. The information on the nearby object is acquired as target object information.

  Next, an example of a method in which the target object acquisition unit 33 acquires target object information in the street view without using the chunk management table will be described. Note that the acquisition of object-of-interest information here is a detection method when other operations including the I operation are not performed on the street view. When an I operation is performed on a specific object, the attention object acquisition unit 33 determines that the object is the attention object, and acquires the object information as attention object information. That is, the target object acquisition unit 33 acquires position information when the I operation is performed, and acquires object information corresponding to the position information as target object information.

  Further, a user who finds an object of interest on the street view is likely to see the same object from a different viewpoint when he next changes the screen. At this time, the angle information changes, but it is considered that there is little change in the longitude / latitude information. That is, when the object A is first viewed, the attention object acquisition unit 33 acquires angle information and longitude / latitude information. When the object-of-interest acquisition unit 33 detects that the angle information of the screen when A is viewed from another viewpoint at a nearby point is different from the first time, but the change in the longitude / latitude information is small, the object-of-interest acquisition unit 33 acquires the residence time of each screen. And when the residence time of each screen is more than a threshold value, the attention object acquisition part 33 determines A as an attention object, and acquires attention object information of A.

  Now, it is assumed that the transportation means storage unit 113 stores the transportation means judgment information management table shown in FIG. The transportation means determination information management table includes one or more transportation means determination information. The transportation means determination information includes “transportation means identifier” and “type information condition”. The type information condition is information including one or more types of information, and is a condition for acquiring a transportation means identifier. The type information condition “bus stop & sightseeing spot” indicates that one or more bus stops and one or more sightseeing spots are included in the acquired two or more type information. The type information condition “railway station & sightseeing spot” indicates that one or more railway stations and one or more sightseeing spots are included in the acquired two or more type information. The type information condition “(taxi stand or car rental shop or parking lot) & sightseeing spot” indicates that the taxi boarding place or car rental shop or parking lot is included in the acquired two or more kinds of information, and that the sightseeing spot is included. . The type information condition “sightseeing spot” indicates that one or more sightseeing spots are included in the acquired type information.

  In this situation, it is assumed that the user performs an operation on the geographic interface. Then, it is assumed that the operation is an operation showing an interest in “Gion Shijo Station → Yasaka Shrine → Higashioji Road Store → Kiyomizu Temple → Shimizu Gojo Station”.

  Next, the operation reception unit 21 acquires two or more operation information strings from the user operation. Then, it is assumed that the object-of-interest acquisition unit 33 has acquired the object information “Gion Shijo Station”, “Yasaka Shrine”, “Store on Higashioji Road”, “Kiyomizu Temple”, and “Shimizu Gojo Station” by the above-described processing.

  Further, the transportation means acquisition unit 35 uses the type information “railway station” corresponding to “Gion Shijo Station” and “Shimizu Gojo Station” and the type information “tourist spot” corresponding to the object of interest information as shown in FIG. It is assumed that the transportation means identifier “train” is acquired with reference to the transportation means judgment information management table.

  Next, the replenishment information acquisition unit 34 performs a web search using the object information “Gion Shijo Station”, “Yasaka Shrine”, “Store in Higashioji Road”, “Kiyomizu Temple”, “Shimizu Gojo Station”, and the transportation mode identifier “train”. To obtain one or more supplementary information candidates. Then, the output unit 4 outputs one or more supplementary information candidates.

  Next, the user inputs a selection instruction for one of the one or more supplementary information candidates. And the selection reception part 22 receives selection. Next, the supplement information acquisition unit 34 acquires one or more selected supplement information candidates as supplement information. The supplement information output unit 43 outputs one or more supplement information.
