Description

  The present invention relates to a system for distributing information.

  Techniques for distributing information are known. In Patent Document 1, in a car navigation device for notifying information related to a popular stop-by location, information about the stop-by location is close to the user's home because the usefulness is low due to common local information. Is not sent. Further, in Patent Document 2, when the user's position information is always recorded and it is determined that the current action is exceptional as compared to the past, for example, a popular field (a URI distributed in the same region) If the distribution information is selected based on the ratio of the number of URIs actually accessed to the number) and it is determined that the current action is not exceptional compared to the past, for example, the field of interest (user interest It is described that the distribution information is selected based on the height). If it is determined that the current action is not exceptional compared to the past, the distribution information selected based on the popularity field is not distributed.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2006-3890 JP 2006-251938 A

In the techniques described in Patent Documents 1 and 2, whether or not the information is common to the user is simply determined by the position of the user in Documents 1 and 2.
In contrast, the present invention provides a technique for determining whether to distribute information based on both the specificity of information and the specificity of user behavior.

  The present invention relates to distribution information distributed to a user, and a storage unit that stores definition information in which a normal state or a specific state is defined according to the content, position, and time, and a user with movement of position. A first determination unit that determines whether the action is a normal state or a singular state, a second determination unit that determines whether the distribution information acquired by the acquisition unit is information in a normal state, When it is determined that the behavior is in a normal state and the distribution information is in a singular state, an information processing apparatus is provided that includes a determination unit that determines to distribute the distribution information to the user.

  When it is determined that the user's behavior is in a normal state and the distribution information is in a normal state, the determination unit determines that the user's behavior is in a normal state and the distribution information is in a singular state. It may be determined that the distribution information is distributed to the user with a smaller amount of information.

  When it is determined that the user's behavior is in a normal state and the distribution information is in a normal state, the determination unit determines that the user's behavior is in a normal state and the distribution information is in a singular state. It may be determined that the distribution information is distributed to the user by a method different from that in the case where the distribution information is distributed.

  The information processing apparatus may include a reception unit that receives feedback from the user and an update unit that updates the definition information in response to the feedback.

  The movement of the position is movement along a route from a departure place to a destination by a vehicle on which the user is placed, and the normal state or the singular state includes the departure place, the position on the route, and the destination. May be defined according to at least one of the following.

  The information processing apparatus includes an estimation unit that estimates a position of the user after a lapse of a predetermined time, and the determination unit obtains information related to the position of the user after the lapse of the predetermined time estimated by the estimation unit. You may decide to deliver.

  When it is determined that the user's action is in a normal state and the distribution information is in a normal state, when at least one of the user's attribute and position satisfies a specific condition, the determining unit It may be decided to distribute the distribution information to the user.

  According to the present invention, it can be determined whether information should be distributed based on both the specificity of information and the specificity of user behavior.

It is an example.

2. Operation 2-1. Information Distribution FIG. 4 is a sequence chart illustrating the operation of the server 20. The sequence in FIG. 4 is started when a predetermined data is received from the vehicle-mounted device 10, for example. In the following description, the functional elements such as the route estimation unit 23 will be described as the subject of processing. However, these descriptions are based on the assumption that hardware elements such as the processor 201 executing software such as server programs cooperate with other hardware elements. It means to work and execute processing.

  In step S101, the storage unit 22 stores content acquired from other servers.

  In step S102, the route estimation unit 23 estimates the destination of the automobile V. The estimation of the destination is performed using data transmitted from the vehicle-mounted device 10 or another device. The data used for estimating the destination includes, for example, data indicating the user's schedule (activity scheduled to be performed by the user in the future), data indicating the user's action history, data indicating the current position of the user (car V), or car It is data indicating a destination set by navigation. The “other device” referred to here is a device that communicates with the server 20 via the vehicle-mounted device 10 or a device that communicates with the server 20 via the Internet or the like without going through the vehicle-mounted device 10. As an example, an example will be described in which information indicating a user's schedule (hereinafter referred to as “schedule information”) is acquired from another device (for example, a smartphone possessed by the user). The communication unit 21 receives the schedule information of the user from the smartphone of the user who is on the automobile V. Identification information of the automobile V is added to the schedule information. The route estimation unit 23 estimates the destination of the vehicle V from the received schedule information. For example, when information “swimming at ABC school from 3 pm” is registered as the user's today's schedule information, the route estimation unit 23 estimates that “ABC school” is the destination. As another example, an example of acquiring a destination from a car navigation device will be described. The user inputs a destination to the vehicle-mounted device 10 that is a car navigation device. The vehicle-mounted device 10 transmits data indicating the input destination to the server 20. The communication unit 21 of the server 20 receives data indicating the destination of the automobile V from the in-vehicle device 10. The route estimation unit 23 estimates the destination using this data. In this example, since the data received from the vehicle-mounted device 10 indicates the destination itself, it is more appropriate to specify the destination rather than to estimate the destination.

  In step S <b> 103, the content selection unit 24 selects content to be distributed to the user of the vehicle-mounted device 10. The content selection unit 24 selects content according to an explicit instruction from the user, for example. In another example, the content selection unit 24 automatically selects content based on information related to the user and at least one of a starting point, a current location, and a destination of the vehicle V.

  In step S104, the behavior determination unit 26 determines whether the behavior performed by the user is a normal state or a unique state. Here, the action to be determined is an action accompanied by the movement of the position of the user, and an example is the route of the automobile V. The behavior determination unit 26 determines whether the state is a normal state or a singular state based on the definition information stored in the storage unit 22 regarding the action performed by the user.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating definition information relating to behavior. The definition information includes the purpose, departure time, travel speed, route, destination, and stay time. Definition information related to behavior is set for each user. The storage unit 22 stores one or more definition information. In the “purpose” section, information for identifying the definition information is recorded. In FIG. 5, the definition information described in the first row is for “return home”, and the home address is described as “destination”. The definition information described in the second row is for the purpose of “going to work”, the address of the workplace as the “destination”, and the time zone of “7: 30-8: 30” as the “departure time”. be written. In this table, “*” indicates that no condition is set. The action definition information is updated using the action history by the server 20, the vehicle-mounted device 10, or another server.

  The behavior determination unit 26 obtains information indicating the purpose, departure time, travel speed, route, destination, and stay time of a user who is moving on the vehicle V (hereinafter, this information is referred to as “movement information”). To do. The movement information is acquired from the vehicle-mounted device 10 or another server. The behavior determination unit 26 compares the movement information with the definition information and determines whether it corresponds to the definition information. Here, “corresponding to definition information” means that the definition information matches the definition information when indicating a certain point, and that the definition information is included in the range when indicating a certain range. When certain definition information and movement information match, the action determination unit 26 determines that the action performed by the user is in a normal state. When there is no definition information that matches the movement information, the behavior determination unit 26 determines that the behavior performed by the user is in a singular state. The behavior determination unit 26 outputs the determination result to the distribution unit 28. Hereinafter, an action determined to be in a normal state is referred to as “normal action”, and an action determined to be in a unique state is referred to as “single action”. Although the example in which the definition information defines the normal state has been described with reference to FIG. 5, the definition information may be information defining a singular state instead of or in addition to the normal state.

  For example, even if the destination is a workplace, if the departure time is 1 pm, the movement information does not match the action definition information, so that it is determined to be in a unique state.

  Refer to FIG. 4 again. In step S105, the information determination unit 25 determines whether the selected content is in a normal state or a singular state. The behavior determination unit 26 determines whether the state is a normal state or a unique state based on definition information related to distribution information (content) stored in the storage unit 22.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating definition information relating to distribution information. Definition information related to distribution information is set for each user and each content. In this figure, the definition information regarding the traffic information of a certain user is illustrated. The definition information includes a position, a period, a time zone, and specific information. For example, the definition information described in the first line includes “Tameike Sanno intersection” as the position, “weekdays” as the period, “6: 30-7: 30” as the time zone, and “congestion occurrence” as the specific information. Including. If the selected content corresponds to this definition information, the information determination unit 25 determines that the content is in a normal state. If the selected content does not correspond to this definition information, the information determination unit 25 determines that the content is in a singular state. For example, even if there is a traffic jam at 7:00 at the Tameike Sanno intersection, if the day is a holiday, the information determination unit 25 determines that the content is in a singular state. The information determination unit 25 outputs the determination result to the distribution unit 28. Hereinafter, the content determined to be in the normal state is referred to as “normal information”, and the content determined to be in the singular state is referred to as “single information”. Although the example in which the definition information defines the normal state has been described with reference to FIG. 6, the definition information may be information that defines a singular state instead of or in addition to the normal state.

In step S <b> 106, the distribution unit 28 determines an output method in the vehicle-mounted device 10 according to the combination of the state of action performed by the user and the state of content. The distribution unit 28 transmits content data to the in-vehicle device 10 together with information specifying the determined output method (step S107). The relationship between the combination of states and the output method is, for example, as follows.
(1) In the case of normal behavior and specific information: all information included in the content is output.
(2) For normal behavior and normal information: Output or not output in a method different from (1).
(3) In the case of specific behavior: all information included in the content is output.

  An example of a specific method of method (2) is not to output content. Another example of the method (2) is to output the content in different ways, for example, when the content is accompanied by the output of an image and audio, only output the image (no audio output but only display). . Yet another example of the method (2) is to reduce the amount of information and output it. For example, a sentence to be output as voice is reduced, an area occupied by an image on the screen is reduced, or only a notification that content has been distributed.

  The communication unit 11 of the vehicle-mounted device 10 receives content data from the server 20. The audio output unit 12 outputs audio according to content data. When the content is accompanied by the output of the image, the information input / output unit 14 displays the image. When the content to be distributed is conversational content, the voice input unit 13 converts the voice of the answer issued by the user into data, and transmits the data to the server 20 via the communication unit 11. The conversation control unit 29 of the server 20 analyzes the answer voice data and generates data for talking with the user according to the answer.

  According to this example, when the normal behavior is delivered when the user is acting normally, the output is different from when the unusual behavior or unusual information is delivered. Information is output by the method. For example, the user does not always listen to familiar information, but can efficiently listen to only information that is different from normal.

2-2. Definition Information Update FIG. 7 is a sequence chart illustrating an operation related to definition information update. In step S201, the communication unit 21 receives data indicating feedback from the user from the vehicle-mounted device 10 (in this case, the communication unit 21 is an example of a reception unit that receives feedback from the user). Feedback from the user is input in the in-vehicle device 10 as follows, for example. After the content is output, the vehicle-mounted device 10 prompts the user to input feedback on the content output method. The prompt to the user may be performed using voice via the voice output unit 12 or may be performed using an image via the information input / output unit 14. The feedback includes, for example, information specifying whether the content is in a normal state or a singular state. The user inputs feedback via the audio output unit 12 or the information input / output unit 14. User feedback is converted into data and transmitted to the server 20 via the communication unit 11. The user feedback includes user identification information.

  In step S202, the information determination unit 25 updates the definition information according to the received feedback. For example, when feedback indicating that the content is in a normal state is input, the information determination unit 25 adds an attribute related to the content as a normal state in the definition information. For example, in the example of FIG. 6, when content indicating that a traffic jam occurs at 7:00 on a holiday at the Tameike Sanno intersection, there was feedback from the user that this information is in a normal state. When this is the case, the information determination unit 25 includes definition information including “Tameike Sanno intersection” as a position, “holiday” as a period, “6: 30-7: 30” as a time zone, and “congestion occurrence” as specific information. to add. In another example, when content is output by the method (2) in step S107, when feedback indicating that the content is in a singular state is input, the information determination unit 25 sets an attribute related to the content. , Added as a singular state in the definition information.

  According to this example, the definition information can be updated according to user feedback. Note that the method illustrated in FIG. 7 is merely an example, and the definition information update method is not limited thereto. For example, the definition information may be updated when the same feedback is input a predetermined number of times without being updated immediately even if there is feedback from the user.

3. Modifications The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made. Hereinafter, some modifications will be described. Two or more of the following modifications may be used in combination.

3-1. Modification 1
FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a functional configuration of the server 20 according to the first modification. The server 20 has an estimation unit 31. The estimation unit 31 estimates the position of the user (the position of the automobile V) after a predetermined time has elapsed. The position estimated by the estimation unit 31 is referred to as “estimated position”. For example, the position of the vehicle V acquired by the position information acquisition unit 15 and the speed of the vehicle V acquired by the vehicle speed acquisition unit 16 are used for the estimation of the position. The communication unit 21 receives content related to the estimated position from another server. The content selection unit 24 selects content related to the estimated position, and the determination unit 27 determines to transmit the content related to the estimated position to the vehicle-mounted device 10. According to this example, content related to the estimated position can be distributed.

3-2. Modification 2
The method for outputting content is not limited to the example described in the embodiment. For example, when the user attribute, the user position, the content attribute, or a combination of two or more of these conditions satisfies a specific condition, the determination unit 27 may perform the normal action and the normal information. The content may be output by an output method different from (2). As an example, let us consider a case where weather information (hereinafter referred to as “snowfall information”) that snow falls is defined as normal information for a user who lives in an area where there is a lot of snow. In the example of the embodiment, in this case, if the user's behavior is normal behavior, the snowfall information is not main. However, in the second modification, the determination unit 27 determines whether to distribute this content in consideration of the user's attributes, specifically the residence history of this area. Specifically, when the period during which the user has lived in this area (hereinafter referred to as “residence history”) is shorter than a threshold value, the determination unit 27 does not use this content even if it is normal behavior and normal information. Decide to deliver. For example, in a heavy snowfall area, snowfall information is common information for users who have lived in the area since childhood, and there is no need for audio output. The information is information that should be output as audio. According to this example, it is possible to control content distribution or output according to the user's attributes.

3-3. Modification 3
The relationship between the combination of states and the output method determined by the distribution unit 28 is not limited to the above methods (1) to (3). In the embodiment, for example, in the case of normal behavior and normal information, the content data itself is transmitted to the vehicle-mounted device 10, but the vehicle-mounted device 10 does not output or reduces the amount of information. Processing such as output was performed. However, for example, in the case of normal behavior and normal information, the distribution unit 28 may not transmit the data of the content to the vehicle-mounted device 10. According to this example, the communication amount between the server 20 and the vehicle-mounted device 10 can be reduced.
