FIG. 13 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the flow of providing processing according to the embodiment.

For example, the terminal device 100 displays a display screen including a search area (for example, search box or search bar) (step S101). Then, the terminal device 100 determines whether or not text data has been input to the search area by the user (step S102), and if text data has not been input (step S102: No), the provision processing is not performed, and the determination is performed again after a predetermined period of time. On the other hand, when text data is input (step S102: Yes), the terminal device 100 transmits a distribution request for statistical data including the text data to the information providing device 10 (step S103).

The information providing apparatus 10 then accepts text data included in the received delivery request as a main query (step S104).

Then, the terminal device 100 displays the statistical data of simultaneous queries within the display screen including the search area (step S106). Then, the terminal device 100 determines whether or not the simultaneous query statistical data is selected by the user (step S107), and if the simultaneous query statistical data is not selected (step S107: No), the process ends. On the other hand, when the statistical data of the simultaneous query is selected (step S107: Yes), the terminal device 100 transmits the selected simultaneous query to the information providing device 10 (step S108).

The information providing apparatus 10 then accepts the received simultaneous query as a selection query (step S109). Then, the information providing device 10 distributes the statistical data of the selected queries to the terminal device 100 .

Then, the terminal device 100 displays the statistical data including the region-specific search volume of the selected query in the display screen including the statistical data of the simultaneous query (step S111). Then, the terminal device 100 determines whether or not the search volume of the predetermined area has been selected by the user (step S112), and if the search volume of the predetermined area has not been selected (step S112: No), the process ends.

Then, the terminal device 100 determines whether or not the user has input an area selection instruction for displaying the local government area on the map display (step S202), and if the area selection instruction has not been input (step S202: No), the terminal device 100 does not perform the providing process and executes the determination again after a predetermined period of time. On the other hand, when the area selection instruction is input (step S202: Yes), the terminal device 100 transmits a statistical data distribution request including the area selection instruction to the information providing apparatus 10 (step S203).

The information providing apparatus 10 then accepts the area selection instruction included in the received delivery request as an area specifying instruction (step S204). Then, the information providing device 10 distributes to the terminal device 100 the statistical data including the search engine user population transition display in the specific area specified by the area specification instruction (step S205).

Then, the terminal device 100 displays the statistical data including the search engine user population transition display in the specific area in the display screen including the map display (step S206). Then, the terminal device 100 determines whether or not the user population transition display at a predetermined time has been selected by the user (step S207), and if the user population transition display at a predetermined time has not been selected (step S207: No), the process ends. On the other hand, when the user population transition display at a predetermined time is selected (step S207: Yes), the terminal device 100 transmits the predetermined time to the information providing device 10 (step S208).

The information providing device 10 then accepts the received predetermined time (step S209). Then, the information providing device 10 distributes to the terminal device 100 a search query characteristic of the specific area among the search queries searched in the specific area at a predetermined time using the search engine (step S210).

Then, the terminal device 100 displays a search query characteristic of the specific region among the search queries searched at a predetermined time in the specific region using the search engine in the display screen including the user population transition display and the map display (step S211). Then, the terminal device 100 determines whether or not a search query has been selected by the user (step S212), and if no search query has been selected (step S212: No), the process ends. On the other hand, when a search query is selected (step S212: Yes), the terminal device 100 shifts the process to step S301 of FIG.

In the above embodiment, an example in which the information providing system 1 includes the search server 20 that provides the function of searching for web content and the information providing device 10 that performs the providing process has been described, but the embodiment is not limited to this. For example, the information providing device 10 may include a search engine that provides a function of searching web content. In such a case, in response to a search request from the terminal device 100 or the like, the information providing device 10 may search web pages, websites, and/or web content such as image files on the Internet instead of the search server 20, and store the search results as a search history. When having such a configuration, the information providing system 1 may not have the search server 20 .

[6-2. others〕
Further, among the processes described in the above embodiments, all or part of the processes described as being performed automatically can be performed manually, or all or part of the processes described as being performed manually can be automatically performed by a known method. In addition, information including processing procedures, specific names, various data and parameters shown in the above documents and drawings can be arbitrarily changed unless otherwise specified. For example, the various information shown in each drawing is not limited to the illustrated information.

Also, each component of each device illustrated is functionally conceptual, and does not necessarily need to be physically configured as illustrated. In other words, the specific form of distribution and integration of each device is not limited to the illustrated one, and all or part of them can be functionally or physically distributed and integrated in arbitrary units according to various loads and usage conditions.

Moreover, each of the embodiments described above can be appropriately combined within a range that does not contradict the processing contents.

[6-3. program〕
Also, the information providing device 10 and the terminal device 100 according to the above-described embodiments are implemented by a computer 1000 configured as shown in FIG. 17, for example. FIG. 17 is a diagram illustrating an example of a hardware configuration; A computer 1000 is connected to an output device 1010 and an input device 1020, and has a form in which an arithmetic device 1030, a primary storage device 1040, a secondary storage device 1050, an output IF (Interface) 1060, an input IF 1070, and a network IF 1080 are connected by a bus 1090.

Arithmetic device 1030 operates based on programs stored in primary storage device 1040 and secondary storage device 1050, programs read from input device 1020, and the like, and executes various types of processing. The primary storage device 1040 is a memory device such as a RAM that temporarily stores data used by the arithmetic device 1030 for various calculations. The secondary storage device 1050 is a storage device in which data used for various calculations by the arithmetic device 1030 and various databases are registered, and is implemented by a ROM (Read Only Memory), HDD, flash memory, or the like.

The output IF 1060 is an interface for transmitting information to be output to the output device 1010 that outputs various types of information, such as a monitor and a printer. Also, the input IF 1070 is an interface for receiving information from various input devices 1020 such as a mouse, keyboard, scanner, etc., and is realized by, for example, USB.

The input device 1020 may be, for example, an optical recording medium such as a CD (Compact Disc), a DVD (Digital Versatile Disc), or a PD (Phase change rewritable disc), a magneto-optical recording medium such as an MO (Magneto-Optical disk), a tape medium, a magnetic recording medium, or a device that reads information from a semiconductor memory. Also, the input device 1020 may be an external storage medium such as a USB memory.

Network IF 1080 receives data from other devices via network N and sends the data to arithmetic device 1030, and also transmits data generated by arithmetic device 1030 via network N to other devices.

The arithmetic device 1030 controls the output device 1010 and the input device 1020 via the output IF 1060 and the input IF 1070 . For example, arithmetic device 1030 loads a program from input device 1020 or secondary storage device 1050 onto primary storage device 1040 and executes the loaded program.

For example, when the computer 1000 functions as the terminal device 100 , the arithmetic device 1030 of the computer 1000 implements the functions of the control unit 150 by executing programs loaded on the primary storage device 1040 . Also, when the computer 1000 functions as the information providing device 10 , the arithmetic device 1030 of the computer 1000 implements the functions of the control unit 13 by executing the program loaded on the primary storage device 1040 .

[7. effect〕
As described above, the information providing apparatus 10 can find a word that should be explored and explored further with respect to a specific keyword. Further, the information providing apparatus 10 can intuitively select a detailed display target and dynamically generate a graph. In addition, the information providing apparatus 10 can intuitively provide the user with keyword mapping related to a specific keyword based on relevance, male/female ratio, or search volume of search queries. In addition, the information providing apparatus 10 can display the search volume, the numerical value or transition of the male-to-female ratio, etc. in the surrounding area when the user clicks on the words mapped as keywords. In addition, the information providing apparatus 10 can provide a UI that enables the user to consider keywords to be investigated more deeply while comparing them on a single screen while intuitively selecting words from the graph.

In addition, conventionally, when providing a function to compare by region, there are many steps for the user to select the address in the map display region selection, and it may not be suitable as a tool for comparison. In the search bar search, the wrong region is selected due to vague knowledge (for example, if you do not know the information on Shinagawa Station, it is Minato Ward, so if you do not know it, enter Shinagawa Ward, etc.). Therefore, the information providing apparatus 10 can provide a map UI that allows area selection via the UI, and movement within the map display that can be performed using the conventional search bar. Therefore, the information providing apparatus 10 can provide a map UI that allows the user to easily select an area. In addition, the information providing device 10 enables movement by drag and drop as in the conventional case, so that intuitive operation can be performed even when selecting a neighboring city, and a map UI that enables area comparison at a high speed can be provided.

In addition, in the conventional map UI, municipal data has a two-dimensional nested structure of prefecture data, so when the user selects an area, the selection area of the parent prefecture data (for example, clicking) could not be done. Therefore, when the map UI is enlarged or reduced, the information providing device 10 separately displays the selectable areas based on the area where the entire area is displayed on the screen, and if the entire area does not fit on the screen, the smallest JIS municipality area is set as the selectable area, thereby providing a map UI that enables the selective display of the selection areas that are two-dimensionally nested.

In addition, the information providing apparatus 10 can provide a UI that enables reverse lookup from inconsistent spellings and spots when selecting an area from the search bar. In other words, the information providing device 10 displays suggestions of selectable areas that include the character string of the spot entered in the search bar, or selectable areas that are expected from variations in the notation of the character string, and when these are clicked by the user, the map UI is interactively enlarged, reduced, or moved to provide a UI that allows even a user without knowledge of geography to easily select an area that they want to know.

In addition, when the user normally views the crowd flow heat map display and selects an area while stopping reproduction in the middle of the flow of people to check the details, it takes time. Therefore, the information providing device 10 can display the statistical data of the area included in the flow of people (for example, the area in the middle of the flow of people) only by the user selecting the flow of people, and can also display the area in the middle of the flow of people as a candidate area for detailed display by reproducing the flow of people to the end.

As described above, some of the embodiments of the present application have been described in detail based on the drawings, but these are examples, and the present invention can be implemented in other forms with various modifications and improvements based on the knowledge of those skilled in the art, including the embodiments described in the disclosure of the invention.

Also, the "section, module, unit" described above can be read as "means" or "circuit". For example, the delivery unit can be read as delivery means or a delivery circuit.
