The longer the time, the lower the evaluation. " The evaluation is performed, for example, by giving points. The above-mentioned criteria may be used to evaluate resources based on a distance from a predetermined ancillary facility such as a restaurant, a daycare center, a station, or a parking lot. In this case, the information processing device 1 may store information indicating the location of the incidental facility in advance.

The presentation unit 116 presents the resource information generated by the generation unit 114 to the user by sending it to the terminal 2 via, for example, the communication unit 13 and displaying it on the display unit 24. At this time, the presentation unit 116 may present resource information according to the evaluation of the evaluation unit 115. For example, when there are a plurality of resource sets indicated by the resource information, the presentation unit 116 may rearrange each set in the order of evaluation by the evaluation unit 115. In addition, the presentation unit 116 may present the resource shown in the resource information together with a score indicating the evaluation of the resource. Further, the presentation unit 116 may present only the resource information whose evaluation score exceeds a predetermined threshold value to the user.

The second reception unit 112 receives the reservation information indicating the reservation of the resource shown in the resource information from the user. The reservation information includes user identification information, reservation resource identification information, and reservation period information. The second reception unit 112 shown in FIG. 8 writes the received reservation information in the reservation table 120 of the storage unit 12.

The generation unit 114 may generate the resource information by referring to the reservation table 120 that stores the reservation information received by the second reception unit 112. In this case, the generation unit 114 generates resource information based on the condition information, the usage information, and the reservation information.

1-6. Operation of Information Processing Device FIG. 9 is a flow chart showing an operation flow of the information processing device 1. The control unit 11 of the information processing apparatus 1 determines whether or not the condition DB 121 has an update (step S101), and if it determines that there is no update (step S101; NO), proceeds to the process in step S103. When it is determined that the condition DB 121 has an update (step S101; YES), the control unit 11 generates a decision tree based on the updated condition DB 121 (step S102).

The control unit 11 transmits to the terminal 2 a question generated in step S102 or generated according to a predetermined decision tree (step S103). The terminal 2 presents the question transmitted from the information processing device 1 to the user, and the user answers the question. When the terminal 2 transmits the condition information indicating the condition of the meeting requested to be held by the user to the information processing device 1 in response to the user's reply, the control unit 11 of the information processing device 1 receives the condition information (step). S104).

The control unit 11 acquires usage information indicating the status of resource usage from the plurality of detection devices 4 (step S105), and holds the meeting from the plurality of resources to the user based on the received condition information and the acquired usage information. Generates resource information indicating unused resources required for the requested meeting (step S106).

The control unit 11 determines whether or not there are a plurality of resource combinations indicated by the resource information generated in step S106 (step S107). When there are a plurality of resource combinations indicated by the resource information (step S107; YES), the control unit 11 compares and ranks the evaluated points for each of the resource combinations (step S108). .. On the other hand, when the combination of resources indicated by the resource information is not a plurality (step S107; NO), the control unit 11 proceeds to the process in step S109.

The control unit 11 presents the combination user of these resources by transmitting information indicating the combination of resources indicated by the generated resource information to the terminal 2 (step S109), and returns the process to step S101.

By the above operation, the information processing device 1 of the information processing system 9 presents the unused resources necessary for the conference requested by the user to the user. A user who sees the presented combination of resources may combine these unused resources to form a conference environment. Specifically, the user who sees the presentation by the information processing device 1 brings resources such as a partition and a folding chair to an empty space such as a dining room or a lobby to form an instant conference room. As a result, even if there is no space for the meeting, the user can hold the meeting by combining the presented resources.
