Specifically, for example, by causing the CPU 201 to execute a program stored in a storage device such as the memory 202 and the disk 205 shown in FIG. Alternatively, the function is realized by the I / F 203. The processing result of each functional unit is stored in a storage device such as a memory 202 or a disk 205, for example.

The storage unit 1401 stores one or a plurality of learning themes in association with information about the living environment. Here, the learning theme is a subject or subject to be learned. Information on the living environment is information that identifies a natural or social situation that directly or indirectly affects a person's daily life. Information about the living environment includes, for example, at least one of location, date, and time zone.

Further, the information on the living environment may include, for example, information on an event related to at least one of a position, a date, and a time zone. Event information is, for example, a keyword related to the event. Further, the information on the living environment may include, for example, weather information corresponding to the position and the date.

Specifically, for example, the storage unit 1401 stores various DBs 120 to 127 shown in FIGS. 4 to 11. The storage unit 1401 is realized by, for example, a storage device such as a memory 202 or a disk 205.

The acquisition unit 1402 acquires information on the living environment of the user having the terminal Ti. Specifically, for example, the acquisition unit 1402 acquires the received living environment information by receiving the living environment information from the terminal Ti. Here, the living environment information is information about the living environment of the user having the terminal Ti.

The living environment information includes at least one of the position, date, and time zone of the terminal Ti. The information on the position of the terminal Ti is, for example, position information (latitude / longitude) indicating the current position of the terminal Ti. The date information of the terminal Ti is, for example, information indicating the current date (year / month / day). The time zone information of the terminal Ti is, for example, information indicating the current time.

Further, the living environment information may include information on an event related to at least one of the position, date, and time zone of the terminal Ti. Event information is, for example, a keyword related to the event. Further, the living environment information may include weather information corresponding to the position and date of the terminal Ti.

The specific unit 1403 refers to the storage unit 1401 and identifies one or a plurality of learning themes corresponding to the acquired information on the living environment of the user. Specifically, for example, the specific unit 1403 refers to various DBs 120 to 127 to specify one or a plurality of learning themes corresponding to the acquired living environment information.

For example, it is assumed that the living environment information includes information indicating the position, date, and time zone of the terminal Ti. In this case, the specific unit 1403 searches, for example, the event information corresponding to the position, date, and time zone of the terminal Ti indicated by the acquired living environment information from the event information DB 120 shown in FIG. Here, the event information corresponding to the position, date, and time zone of the terminal Ti includes the position of the terminal Ti in the "location", the date of the terminal Ti in the "period", and " The event information includes the time zone (for example, the current time) of the terminal Ti in the "event notification time zone".

Whether or not the position of the terminal Ti is included in the "location" of the event information is determined based on, for example, map data. Map data is drawing information in which a part or all of the earth's surface is reduced at a constant rate and displayed on a plane. More specifically, the identification unit 1403 specifies a range corresponding to the "location" of the event information with reference to the map data. Then, it is determined whether or not the position of the terminal Ti is included in the "location" of the event information depending on whether or not the position of the terminal Ti is included in the specified range. The map data is stored in a storage device such as a memory 202 or a disk 205, for example.

Next, the specifying unit 1403 identifies the learning theme corresponding to the event-related keyword of the searched event information with reference to the event learning theme DB 124 shown in FIG. More specifically, for example, the specific unit 1403 acquires the event learning theme information in which the event-related keyword of the searched event information is set to "keyword" from the event learning theme DB 124.

Then, the specific unit 1403 specifies the "learning theme" of the acquired event learning theme information. Thereby, the learning theme corresponding to the event specified from the current position of the terminal Ti and the current date and time (current date, current time) can be specified.

The event information DB 120 includes event information whose "event notification time zone" is null. Therefore, from the event information DB 120, the specific unit 1403 includes the position of the terminal Ti in the "location", the date of the terminal Ti in the "period", and the "event notification time zone" is null. You may search for event information. Thereby, the learning theme corresponding to the event specified from the current position of the terminal Ti and the current date can be specified.

Further, for example, it is assumed that the living environment information includes information on an event related to at least one of the position, date, and time zone of the terminal Ti. Event information is, for example, a keyword related to the event. In this case, the specific unit 1403 may specify, for example, the learning theme corresponding to the keyword related to the event included in the living environment information by referring to the event learning theme DB 124.

Further, for example, it is assumed that the living environment information includes information indicating the position and date of the terminal Ti. In this case, the specific unit 1403 searches, for example, the weather information corresponding to the position and date of the terminal Ti indicated by the acquired living environment information from the weather information DB 121 shown in FIG.
