To identify. That is, the information providing area determination unit 216 identifies the area where the airplane departs and arrives in the Kanto block.

Then, the information providing area determination unit 216 acquires the area ID included in the specified area information as the information providing area ID, and determines the area specified by the information providing area ID as the information providing area.

Subsequently, the information providing processing unit 210 associates the area ID of the travel target area estimated by the travel destination estimation unit 215 with the area ID of the information providing area determined by the information providing area determining unit 216 to provide the distribution area. It is stored as information in the information providing area storage unit 245 (step S1805).

Subsequently, the information providing processing unit 210 transmits the distribution area information to the terminal device 300 by the transmission / reception unit 211 (step S1806), and ends the processing. When the terminal device 300 receives the distribution area information, it stores it in the storage unit 317.

The information providing area determination unit 216 of the present embodiment determines the information providing area by the method described above, but the method of determining the information providing area is not limited to this.

The information providing area determination unit 216 may use, for example, the area closest to the home area of the user of the terminal device 300 as the information providing area. Further, the information providing area determination unit 216 may determine in advance an area that can be an information providing area for each block. In this case, the information providing area determination unit 216 may use the area closest to the home area among the areas determined as the information providing area as the information providing area of the user of the terminal device 300.

Next, with reference to FIG. 19, the operation of providing information in the information providing system 100 of the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 19 is a sequence diagram illustrating an operation of providing information in the information providing system.

In the information providing system 100, the terminal device 300 detects that the user has entered the information providing area by the action detecting unit 312 (step S1901).

Specifically, in the behavior detection unit 312, the area ID of the area where the movement history acquisition unit 314 detects the approach matches the area ID of the information providing area included in the distribution area information 318 stored in the storage unit 317.

Subsequently, the terminal device 300 transmits a notification indicating that the user has entered the information providing area to the information processing device 200 (step S1902). At this time, this notification may include the terminal ID or user ID of the terminal device 300.

Upon receiving this notification from the transmission / reception unit 211, the information processing device 200 detects that the terminal device 300 has entered the information providing area. That is, the transmission / reception unit 211 is an example of a detection unit that detects that the terminal device 300 has entered the information providing area.

When the information processing device 200 detects the entry of the terminal device 300 into the information providing area, the information providing unit 217 identifies the travel target area corresponding to the terminal device 300 with reference to the information providing area storage unit 245, and performs sightseeing. The tourist information corresponding to the travel target area is acquired from the information storage unit 240 (step S1903).

Here, for example, it is assumed that the tourist information A, B, C, D, and E are acquired as the tourist information corresponding to the travel target area.

In this case, the information providing unit 217 transmits a part of the acquired tourist information A, B, C, D, and E to the terminal device 300 (step S1904). Specifically, for example, tourist information A and B are transmitted to the terminal device 300.

When the terminal device 300 receives the tourist information, the terminal device 300 displays the tourist information received by the output unit 316 (step S1905).

At this time, the terminal device 300 may display a notification prompting the display of the tourist information, and display the received tourist information when an operation for instructing the display of the tourist information is performed.

Next, the terminal device 300 detects that the user has entered the travel target area by the behavior detection unit 312 (step S1906). Specifically, in the behavior detection unit 312, does the area ID of the area detected by the movement history acquisition unit 314 match the area ID of the travel target area included in the distribution area information stored in the storage unit 317? Judge whether or not. Then, the behavior detection unit 312 detects the entry into the travel target area when both of them match.

Subsequently, the terminal device 300 transmits a notification indicating that the user has entered the travel target area to the information processing device 200 (step S1907).

Upon receiving this notification, the information processing device 200 transmits the tourist information C, D, and E that have not been transmitted to the terminal device 300 among the tourist information acquired in step S1903 to the terminal device 300 (step S1908).

The terminal device 300 causes the output unit 316 to display the received tourist information (step S1909).

As described above, in the present embodiment, when the user of the terminal device 300 moves to the destination of "travel", it is detected that the user has started to move to the travel target area, and the tourist information of the travel target area is provided. It can be displayed on the terminal device 300. For example, in step S1901, for example, the user has entered the area corresponding to "Haneda Airport", then moves by airplane, and at the timing of step S1906, the area corresponding to the destination "Sapporo". It means that you have entered. Therefore, in this embodiment, it is presumed that the movement to the destination is started at the timing of entering "Haneda Airport". Furthermore, it is possible to provide the user with tourist information of "Sapporo", which is presumed to be the destination, at the timing of entering "Haneda Airport". The user can browse tourist information of the destination while traveling by airplane.

The tourist information provided in the information providing area may be, for example, information on services that can be used in the travel target area. That is, the information provided in the information providing area may be information that can be an option for the user's action in the travel target area that is the destination.

Further, in the present embodiment, it is possible to detect that the user of the terminal device 300 has arrived at the travel target area and further provide tourist information that is not provided to the user among the tourist information of the travel target area.

In the present embodiment, the tourist information provided in the travel target area may be, for example, vacant seat information of a local store. That is, the information provided in the travel target area may be information about services that can be immediately used by the user.

By separating the information provided in each of the information providing area and the travel target area in this way, it is possible to provide information on the land estimated to be the destination of the user at a timing according to the situation of the user. It is possible to provide information corresponding to.

Next, a display example of the terminal device 300 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 20 is a diagram illustrating a display example of the terminal device.

The screens 201A and 201B of FIG. 20 are examples of screens displayed on the terminal device 300 when it is detected that the user has entered the information providing area.

The screen 201A has a display field 202. In the display field 202, the travel target area name 202a and the message 202b prompting the user to browse the tourist information of the travel target area are displayed.

Further, in the display field 202, an operation button 203 for displaying tourist information is displayed.

When the operation button 203 is operated on the screen 201A, the terminal device 300 shifts the screen 201A to the screen 201B.

The screen 201B has display fields 205 and 206. For example, an image of a tourist spot in a travel target area is displayed in the display field 205, and a list of tourist spots is displayed in the display field 206.

The screen 201B is an example of how to display the tourist information, and the display mode of the tourist information is not limited to this.

As described above, in the present embodiment, it is possible to provide information related to the land presumed to be the destination at the timing corresponding to the movement of the terminal device 300 to the destination.

(Second embodiment)
The second embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings. The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that it provides information according to the method of detecting the movement to the destination and the mode of the movement of the user to the destination. Therefore, in the following description of the second embodiment, only the differences from the first embodiment will be described, and the description of the first embodiment will be described for those having the same functional configuration as the first embodiment. The same reference numerals as above are given, and the description thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 21 is a diagram illustrating a function of each device included in the information providing system of the second embodiment.

The information providing system 100A of the present embodiment includes an information processing device 200A and a terminal device 300.

The information processing device 200A has an information providing processing unit 210A. The information provision processing unit 210 includes a transmission / reception unit 211, an information storage unit 212, an information evaluation unit 213, a home area determination unit 214, a travel destination estimation unit 215A, an information provision area determination unit 216, an information provision unit 217A, and an action detection unit 218. It has a mode switching unit 219.

The travel destination estimation unit 215A estimates one travel target area based on the browsing history information, for example, when there are a plurality of candidates for the travel target area.

The information providing unit 217A provides the terminal device 300 with tourist information according to the mode switched by the mode switching unit 219.

The action detection unit 218 detects the movement of the terminal device 300 to the destination based on the movement history information of the terminal device 300.

The mode switching unit 219 switches the mode of moving to the user's destination to the daily mode or the travel mode according to the area where the terminal device 300 stayed before entering the information providing area. The daily mode indicates a state in which the user of the terminal device 300 is moving to a destination on a daily basis, and the travel mode indicates a state in which the user of the terminal device 300 is traveling.

Hereinafter, the estimation of the travel target area by the travel destination estimation unit 215A of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 22. FIG. 22 is a diagram for explaining the estimation of the travel target area of the second embodiment.

In the example of FIG. 22, the user of the terminal device 300 starts selecting the travel target area one month before going on a trip, determines the travel target area one to two weeks before going on a trip, and moves with the accommodation. An example is shown when the means are determined.

In the following description, the period during which the user selects the travel target area is referred to as the travel destination selection period, and the period from the determination of the travel destination to the departure for the trip is referred to as the travel preparation period.

Therefore, in FIG. 22, the period K1 is the travel destination selection period, and the period K2 is the travel preparation period. Further, in FIG. 22, Area A and Area B are candidates for travel target areas, and Area C is an area to be visited regardless of travel.

Here, the tourist information viewed in the period K1 is the tourist information of Area A and the tourist information of Area B. In addition, among the period K2, the tourist information viewed by the day before the last day of the period K2 includes the tourist information of each of areas A, B, and C, and the last day of the period K2 (the day before the day of departure for the trip). The tourist information viewed in is the tourist information of Area A.

In this case, the travel destination estimation unit 215A of the present embodiment estimates the travel target area by giving priority to the browsing history information whose browsing time is new.

In the example of FIG. 22, since the tourist information of Area A and Area B was browsed during the period K1, Area A and Area B are candidates for the travel target area. From period K1 to period K2, and during the period from period K2 to the day before the last day of period K2, the tourist information of Area A and the tourist information of Area C were browsed, so the candidates for the travel target area are Area A and area B are updated to area A and area C.

Further, on the last day of the period K2, since only the tourist information of the area A was browsed, the candidates for the travel target area are updated from the area A and the area C to the area A. Therefore, the travel target area on the first day of travel is area A.

In the present embodiment, in this way, the travel target area estimated from the last acquired browsing history information may be prioritized. By estimating the travel target area in this way, it is possible to estimate the travel target area without being affected by the tourist information browsed when selecting the travel destination in the past.

Next, the behavior detection unit 218 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 23. FIG. 23 is a diagram illustrating the processing of the behavior detection unit of the second embodiment.

The information processing device 200A of the present embodiment is a terminal when the terminal device 300 enters the information providing area and when the terminal device 300 is moving by a moving means which moves at high speed such as a Shinkansen. The movement of the user of the device 300 to the destination may be detected as a trip.

As shown in FIG. 23A, for example, the behavior detection unit 218 of the present embodiment arranges a plurality of areas concentrically, calculates the movement speed from the difference in time when the two areas come out, and moves the movement speed. If is greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold value, the user's behavior may be detected as traveling.

That is, the behavior detection unit 218 travels to the user's destination on the assumption that the user is moving on the Shinkansen when the difference between the times when they exit from the two areas is less than a predetermined time. It may be medium.

In FIG. 23A, for example, a concentric area 231A and an area 232A are set around Tokyo Station. In these areas, area information is stored in advance in the area storage unit 220.

The action detection unit 218 is when the difference between the time included in the movement history information 226 of the movement history storage unit 225A shown in FIG. 23A and the time included in the movement history information 227 is, for example, less than 20 minutes. , The movement of the terminal device 300 to the destination may be detected as traveling.

In this case, the information processing device 200A may transmit the tourist information corresponding to the travel target area to the terminal device 300 when the behavior detection unit 218 detects that the user of the terminal device 300 is traveling. ..

In addition, the behavior detection unit 218 may detect that the user of the terminal device 300 is traveling, for example, based on entering and leaving a plurality of areas.

The plurality of areas are, for example, railway stations, highway interchanges, and the like. In FIG. 23B, as an example, the difference between the time when the terminal device 300 leaves the area 231B centered on Tokyo Station and the time when the terminal device 300 enters the area 232B centered on Omiya Station is a predetermined time. If it is less than, it is assumed that the user is traveling on the Shinkansen, and the user may be traveling to the destination.

For example, in the action detection unit 218, when the difference between the time included in the movement history information 228 of the movement history storage unit 225B in FIG. 23B and the time included in the movement history information 229 is less than 20 minutes. , The movement of the terminal device 300 to the destination may be detected as a trip.

In this way, in the present embodiment, it is possible to detect that the terminal device 300 is traveling to the destination in addition to entering the information providing area.

Next, the process of the mode switching unit 219 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 24. FIG. 24 is a flowchart illustrating the processing of the mode switching unit of the second embodiment.

In the information providing processing unit 210A of the present embodiment, the mode switching unit 219 determines whether or not the terminal device 300 has entered the information providing area (step S2401). Specifically, the mode switching unit 219 determines whether or not the transmission / reception unit 211 has received the notification indicating that the terminal device 300 has detected the entry into the information providing area.

If the user has not entered the information providing area in step S2401, the mode switching unit 219 waits until the entry into the information providing area is detected.

When the terminal device 300 enters the information providing area in step S2401, the mode switching unit 219 refers to the movement history storage unit 225 and stays in the travel target area before the terminal device 300 enters the information providing area. It is determined whether or not the operation has been performed (step S2402).

When the terminal device 300 stays in the travel target area before entering the information providing area, it indicates that the user of the terminal device 300 is moving from the travel target area to the home area. That is, the user of the terminal device 300 indicates that he / she is on the way back from the travel destination.

In the present embodiment, when the user is staying in the travel target area, the movement of the terminal device 300 to the destination is set to the travel mode. Therefore, in step S2402, the mode switching unit 219 switches the mode of moving the terminal device 300 to the destination from the travel mode to the daily mode when staying in the travel target area (step S2403).

Then, the information providing processing unit 210A selects the tourist information corresponding to the daily mode from the tourist information provided to the terminal device 300 in the information providing area by the information providing unit 217A, and provides (transmits) the tourist information to the terminal device 300. (Step S2404), the process ends.

The tourist information corresponding to the daily mode is, for example, information on souvenirs in the travel target area, information on the questionnaire for the service reasoned in the travel target area, information on introducing future travel plans, and the like.

In the present embodiment, for example, in the tourist information storage unit 240, tourist information may be associated with each mode. Specifically, for example, the tourist information stored in the tourist information storage unit 240 may store tourist information for the daily mode and tourist information for the travel mode, respectively.

The information providing unit 217A of the present embodiment may refer to the tourist information storage unit 240 and provide the terminal device 300 with tourist information corresponding to the mode of the terminal device 300.

Further, in the present embodiment, if the terminal device 300 does not stay in the travel target area before entering the information providing area, the terminal device 300 stays in the home area before entering the information providing area. If you are.

In this case, it can be seen that the user of the terminal device 300 is in a state of departing from the home area and starting moving toward the travel target area. That is, in step S2402, the case where the terminal device 300 does not stay in the travel target area before entering the information providing area is the case where the user of the terminal device 300 starts the trip.

Therefore, the mode switching unit 219 switches the mode of moving the terminal device 300 to the destination from the daily mode to the travel mode (step S2405).

Subsequently, the information providing processing unit 210A provides (transmits) tourist information corresponding to the travel mode to the terminal device 300 by the information providing unit 217A (step S2406), and ends the processing.

The tourist information corresponding to the travel mode is, for example, information on reservation of services provided in the travel target area, information on facilities that can be used without reservation in the travel target area, and the like.

In this embodiment, in this way, it is determined whether the user of the terminal device 300 goes on a trip or has returned from the trip according to the movement history of the terminal device 300, and the terminal is determined according to the determination result. Select the information to be provided when the device 300 enters the information providing area.

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to provide information related to the land presumed to be the destination at the timing corresponding to the movement of the terminal device 300 to the destination.

In the present embodiment, the movement of the terminal device 300 to the destination of the user is defined as a trip, and the area estimated as the destination of the terminal device 300 is described as a travel target area, but the present invention is not limited to this. The movement of the terminal device 300 to the user's destination is not limited to travel. For example, when the movement of the user of the terminal device 300 to the destination is shopping, the area estimated as the destination of the movement of the terminal device 300 may be an area including the store viewed by the terminal device 300. good. Then, the information providing area may be an area including a movement route from the home area to the area estimated as the movement destination.

In this case, when the terminal device 300 enters the information providing area, the information of the store in the area estimated to be the destination may be provided to the terminal device 300.

Further, the destination of the terminal device 300 may be estimated according to the information viewed by the terminal device 300. For example, in the terminal device 300, when the information of a plurality of medical institutions is browsed for a certain period of time or more, an area including the medical institution where the information is browsed may be estimated as the destination.

In the disclosed technology, the form described below can be considered.
