The information providing device 2 receives language type information from the portable information terminal 1 located within the detection range 3 . The detection range 3 is a range in which the portable information terminal 1 and the information providing device 2 can communicate stably. The information providing device 2 provides information to the user according to the language type information received from each information providing device 2 . The information providing device 2 displays the information to be provided, for example, using the language identified by the language type information. For example, the information providing device 2 broadcasts the provided information by voice, for example, using the language identified by the language type information.

FIG. 2 is a functional configuration diagram of the information providing system according to this embodiment. As described above, the information providing system 100 includes the mobile information terminal 1 and the information providing device 2 . As shown in FIG. 2 , the mobile information terminal 1 has a storage section 11 and a communication section 12 . As shown in FIG. 2, the information providing device 2 includes a communication section 21, an information provision amount determination section 22, a notification control section 23, and a notification section 24. FIG.

The storage unit 11 of the mobile information terminal 1 stores in advance language type information that can be understood by the user as shown in Table 1 below. The user can set the language type information to be stored in the storage unit 11 by operating the mobile information terminal 1, for example. The communication unit 12 transmits language type information stored in the storage unit 11 .

The communication unit 21 of the information providing device 2 receives the language type information transmitted from the communication unit 12 of the mobile information terminal 1 . The information provision amount determination unit 22 counts the number of pieces of received language type information. The information provision amount determination unit 22 determines the information provision amount to be provided for each language type information based on the counted number of pieces of each language type information. The notification control unit 23 provides information from the notification unit 24 based on the information provision amount provided for each language type information determined by the information provision amount determination unit 22 .

The notification unit 24 is, for example, a display screen that displays information to be provided. In this case, the amount of information to be provided indicates, for example, the time for displaying the information to be provided. The amount of information to be provided refers to, for example, the number of characters or words that display the information to be provided. The amount of information provided refers to, for example, the size of the information to be provided. Also, the notification unit 24 is, for example, a speaker that broadcasts information to be provided. In this case, the amount of information to be provided indicates, for example, the time to broadcast the information to be provided or the number of times to broadcast the information.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an operation example of the information providing system according to this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 3( a ), the information providing device 2 in this operation example has a display screen as the notification unit 24 . The amount of information to be provided in this operation example refers to the time to display the information to be provided. The information providing device 2 displays the information provided by the notification unit 24, which is a display screen.

As shown in FIG. 3( a ), for example, within the detection range 3 , there are two portable information terminals 1 whose language type A is stored in the storage unit 11 , and portable information terminals 1 whose language type B is stored in the storage unit 11 . One terminal 1 is located. The communication unit 21 of the information providing device 2 receives language type information from each mobile information terminal 1 . Based on the received language type information, the information providing amount determination unit 22 counts the number of language types A as two and the number of language types as one. Then, the information provision amount determination unit 22 determines the information provision time as the information provision amount of each of the language type A and the language type B. FIG.

In the language classification information stored for each terminal in Table 1 above, the language classification points for each language classification are calculated as follows. In this embodiment, the language type points are the number of pieces of language type information received from each portable information terminal 1 .

Language classification points for language classification A: 2

Language classification point for language classification B: 1

The information provision amount determination unit 22 determines the amount of information to be provided to the user for each language type information according to the language type points. The information provision amount determination unit 25 determines the amount of information to be provided to the user for each language type information, for example, based on the ratio of language type points for each language type. In the example of Table 3, the ratio of language classification points is language classification A:language classification B=2:1, and the amount of information to be provided to the user is determined based on this ratio.

In the case of the operation example in FIG. 3, the number of users who can understand language type A is greater than the number of users who can understand language type B. FIG. In this case, the information providing amount determination unit 22 determines the amount of information to be provided so that the time for providing information in language type A is longer than the time for providing information in language type B. For example, the information providing amount determination unit 22 determines the information providing amount for each language type based on the ratio of the number of each language type. In this case, the number of language types A is counted as two, and the number of language types is counted as one. Determine the amount of information to be provided so that the ratio is 2:1. For example, the information provision time for language type A is assumed to be 20 seconds, and the information provision time for language type B is assumed to be 10 seconds. As shown in FIG. 3A, the notification unit 24 displays the provided information in the language type A for 20 seconds. As shown in FIG. 3B, the notification unit 24 displays the provided information in the language type B for 20 seconds.

Next, operations of the information providing system 100 will be described. FIG. 4 is a flow chart showing the operation of the information providing system according to this embodiment. First, the communication unit 21 of the information providing device 2 transmits an inquiry signal (S101). An interrogation signal is transmitted within the detection range 3 . After that, the process proceeds to S102.

Next, when the communication unit 11 of the portable information terminal 1 located within the detection range 3 receives the question signal, the communication unit 11 transmits a response signal including the language type information stored in the storage unit 12 . The communication unit 21 of the information providing device 2 receives the language type information transmitted from the communication unit 11 of the mobile information terminal 1 (S102). After that, the process proceeds to S103.

Next, the information provision amount determination unit 22 counts the number of pieces of received language classification information, and calculates each language classification point. The information provision amount determination unit 22 determines the information provision amount to be provided for each language type information based on the counted number for each language type information, that is, the language type points for each language type information (S103). After that, the process proceeds to S104.

Next, the notification control unit 23 provides information for each language type to the notification unit 24 based on the amount of information to be provided for each language type information determined by the information provision amount determination unit 22 (S104). After that, the process returns to S101.

Next, the effects of the invention in this embodiment will be described.

In the information providing system 100 of the present invention, the amount of information provided by the information providing amount determination unit 22 is provided in the language identified by the language type information according to the number of language type information received from each mobile information terminal 1. decide. Further, the notification unit 24 is caused to provide information according to the amount of information provided in each language determined by the information provision amount determination unit 22 .

For example, when the amount of information to be provided is the time to provide information, and the number of users who can understand language type A is greater than the number of users who can understand language type B, the information providing system 100 provides information in language type A. The time for providing information is longer than the time for providing information in language type B. Therefore, since there are many users who can understand language type A, the information providing system 100 can provide appropriate information to more users.

For example, if the amount of information provided is the size of a display that provides information, and if there are more users who can understand language type A than users who can understand language type B, the information providing system 100 Therefore, the size of the display that provides information is displayed larger than the size of the display that provides information in language type B. Therefore, since there are many users who can understand language type A, the information providing system 100 can provide appropriate information to more users. That is, it is possible to provide an appropriate amount of information according to the number of users for each language.

Although the mobile information terminal 1 is, for example, a smart phone, a PDA, or a mobile phone, it may be an IC card that stores user identification information and language classification information. If the portable information terminal 1 is an IC card or the like, a similar effect can be obtained by incorporating or connecting a card reader (not shown) to the information providing device 2 and holding the IC card over the card reader (not shown). It cannot be detected that the user carrying the IC card leaves the information providing apparatus 2 after the IC card is read. However, if a predetermined period of time (for example, 1 to 2 minutes) elapses after the IC card is held over the IC card, the amount of information provided determination unit 22 excludes the received number of pieces of language type information, and the user holding the IC card It may be considered that the user has left the provider 2 .

Also, a two-dimensional code or the like is displayed on the mobile information terminal 1, and the two-dimensional code including the language type information displayed on the mobile information terminal 1 is read by a two-dimensional code reader (not shown) built in or connected to the information providing device 2. A similar effect can be obtained by It cannot be detected that the user carrying the portable information terminal 1 leaves the information providing apparatus 2 after the two-dimensional code is read. However, if a predetermined period of time (for example, 1 to 2 minutes) elapses after holding the mobile information terminal 1, the information provision amount determination unit 22 excludes the received number for each language type information, and the user who has an IC card may be considered to have left the front of the information providing device 2 .

Embodiment 2

FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of an information providing system according to this embodiment. An information providing system 200 in FIG. 5 differs from the information providing system 100 in that the mobile information terminal 1 has a storage section 13 instead of the storage section 11 . The information provision device 2 has an information provision amount determination unit 25 instead of the information provision amount determination unit 22 . Other than that, it is the same as the information providing system 100, so a detailed description will be omitted.

The storage unit 13 of the portable information terminal 1 pre-stores at least one language type information that can be understood by the user as shown in Table 2 below. As shown in Table 2, priority can be set for each language type information. In the case of Table 2, for example, the higher the number, the higher the priority. For example, it is desirable to set a high priority for a language that the user is good at understanding. It is desirable to set a low priority for languages that are difficult for users to understand. The user can set the language type information and the priority to be stored in the storage unit 13 by operating the portable information terminal 1, for example. The communication unit 12 transmits one or more language type information stored in the storage unit 13 and the priority corresponding to the language type information.

The information provision amount determination unit 25 determines the information provision amount to be provided for each language type information based on the counted number of each language type information and the priority for each language type information. Table 3 shows the language classification information stored for each terminal and the priority for each language classification information.

In the language classification information stored for each terminal in Table 3 and the priority for each language classification information, the language classification points for each language classification are calculated as follows.
Language type points for language type A: 3x2 + 2x1 + 1x0 = 8
Language type points for language type B: 3x1 + 2x2 + 1x0 = 7
Language type points for language type C: 3x0+2x1+1x3=5

The information provision amount determination unit 25 determines the amount of information to be provided to the user for each language type information, for example, based on the ratio of language type points for each language type. In the example of Table 3, the ratio of language type points is language type A: language type B: language type C = 8:7:5, and based on the ratio language type A: language type B: language type C = 8:7 : The amount of information provided to the user is determined at a ratio of 5.

FIG. 6 is a flow chart showing the operation of the information providing system according to this embodiment. Regarding the operation of the information providing system 200, only differences from the operation for the information providing system 100 shown in FIG. 4 will be described.

The information provision amount determination unit 25 counts the received language type information for each mobile terminal 1 and its priority. As described above, the information provision amount determination unit 25 determines the information provision amount to be provided for each language type information based on the counted language type information and its priority (S105). After that, the process proceeds to S104. Since the operations other than S105 are the same as those of the information providing system 100, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Next, the effects of the invention in this embodiment will be described.

The information providing system 200 according to the present invention has the same effect as the information providing system 100 does. Further, the information providing amount determination unit 25 of the information providing system 200 in the present invention determines the information providing amount to be provided for each language type information based on the counted number of each language type information and the priority for each language type information. .

Many users are able to understand multiple languages. On the other hand, even in the case of users who can understand multiple languages, there are many cases where there is a difference in the ability to understand each language. Therefore, if the user can understand a plurality of languages and there is a difference in the ability to understand the plurality of languages, the ability difference can be reflected in the priority for each language type. That is, there is a further effect that a more appropriate amount of information can be provided in consideration of users who can understand multiple languages.
