In addition, when the program related information includes information on switching the program scene, the two pieces of point information are point information included in the program related information in the same scene.
 また、出力制御表は、「空間的関係ID」「空間的関係情報」「空間的関係」「説明パターン」「出力制御」を有する。「空間的関係ID」は、2つの地点情報が示す地点(ここでは、AとB)の空間的な関係を示す識別子である。「空間的関係情報」は、2つの地点情報が示す地点(ここでは、AとB)の空間的な関係を示す情報である。「空間的関係」は「空間的関係情報」を決定するための情報であり、ここでは「包含関係」「領域の広さ」「距離」を有する。つまり、ここでは、AとBとの領域の包含関係、AおよびBの領域の広さ、AとBとの距離を用いて、AとBとの空間的関係が決定される。「説明パターン」は、番組の補助態様を示す。「説明パターン」が決まれば、出力される番組補助情報の種類および出力態様が決定される。番組補助情報の種類は、ここでは、ストリートビュー、地図、写真のうちの1以上である。なお、空間的関係とは地理的関係とも言う。また、「出力制御」とは、出力する番組関連情報、および出力態様を示す。「出力制御」は、ストリートビューの出力態様を示す「ストリートビュー制御」、地図の出力態様を示す「地図制御」、写真の出力態様を示す「写真制御」を有する。 Also, the output control table has “spatial relationship ID”, “spatial relationship information”, “spatial relationship”, “explanation pattern”, and “output control”. The “spatial relationship ID” is an identifier that indicates a spatial relationship between points (here, A and B) indicated by two pieces of point information. “Spatial relationship information” is information indicating the spatial relationship between the points (here, A and B) indicated by the two point information. “Spatial relationship” is information for determining “spatial relationship information”, and has “inclusion relationship”, “area width”, and “distance” here. That is, here, the spatial relationship between A and B is determined using the inclusion relation of the regions A and B, the width of the regions A and B, and the distance between A and B. “Description pattern” indicates an auxiliary mode of the program. If the “description pattern” is determined, the type and output mode of the program auxiliary information to be output is determined. Here, the type of program auxiliary information is one or more of street view, map, and photograph. Spatial relationship is also called geographical relationship. “Output control” indicates program-related information to be output and an output mode. The “output control” includes “street view control” indicating the output mode of the street view, “map control” indicating the output mode of the map, and “photo control” indicating the output mode of the photograph.
 地点情報が示す地名はそれぞれ領域を持っている。例えば、都道府県や市町村など領域の広さはそれぞれ異なる。本具体例では、番組補助情報取得部25は、時系列に沿って前後関係にある二つの地名における領域関係を判定する。番組補助情報取得部25は、地名の領域の関係抽出には9-intersection(「倉田洋平.地理情報科学における位相的空間関係の研究と今後の課題.GIS -理論と応用,Vol. 18, No. 2, pp. 41-51 (2010)」参照)という公知技術を用いる。 Each place name indicated by the point information has an area. For example, areas such as prefectures and municipalities are different. In this specific example, the program supplementary information acquisition unit 25 determines the region relationship between the two place names that are in a chronological relationship along the time series. The program supplementary information acquisition unit 25 uses 9-intersection (“Yohei Kurata. Topological spatial relation research and future issues in geographic information science. GIS -Theory and application, Vol. 18, No 2, pp. 41-51 (2010) ”).
 なお、9-intersectionでは、2つの地点の関係を9つのパターンに分類している。しかし、本具体例において、地理的な領域の境界の重複は番組構成においては重要ではないと考え、領域の境界の重複の有無を考慮せず、9-intersectionを変更している。 In 9-intersection, the relationship between two points is classified into nine patterns. However, in this specific example, overlapping of geographical area boundaries is not important in the program structure, and 9-intersection is changed without considering the overlapping of area boundaries.
 以下、本具体例における2つの地点の地理的関係の定義と例を説明する。図11の包含関係「一致(A=B)」とは完全にAおよびBの地名が一致する場合である。例えば、「九州」という地名が出現した後に同じ「九州」という地名が出現した場合は、番組補助情報取得部25は「一致」と判定する。 Hereinafter, the definition and example of the geographical relationship between two points in this specific example will be described. The inclusion relationship “match (A = B)” in FIG. 11 is a case where the place names of A and B completely match. For example, when the same place name “Kyushu” appears after the place name “Kyushu” appears, the program auxiliary information acquisition unit 25 determines “match”.
 また、「分離」とは完全に二つの地名の領域が離れている場合である。例えば、「福岡県」と「鹿児島県」という地名は完全に分離しているので、番組補助情報取得部25は「分離」という地理的関係である判定する。そして、番組補助情報取得部25は、空間的関係情報「equal」を取得する。 In addition, “separation” is when the area of two place names is completely separated. For example, since the place names “Fukuoka Prefecture” and “Kagoshima Prefecture” are completely separated, the program auxiliary information acquisition unit 25 determines that the geographical relationship is “separation”. And the program supplementary information acquisition part 25 acquires spatial relationship information "equal".
 また、「分離」の場合、番組補助情報取得部25は、2つの地点の距離、および領域の広さにより、さらに「分離」という関係を詳細に分類する。つまり、番組補助情報取得部25は、包含関係「分離」であり、2つの地点の距離が閾値より近い近傍である場合と、閾値より遠い遠方の場合の二種類が存在するとして、「分離」という関係をさらに詳細に分類する。また、番組補助情報取得部25は、2つの各地点の領域の広さが閾値より広い広域の場合と、閾値より狭い境域の場合の二種類が存在するとして、「分離」という関係をさらに詳細に分類する。そして、包含関係「分離」、領域の広さが閾値より広い「広い」、2つの各地点の距離が閾値より近い「近い」の場合は、番組補助情報取得部25は、空間的関係情報「disjoin-n(広域)」を取得する。また、包含関係「分離」、領域の広さが閾値より広い「広い」、2つの各地点の距離が閾値より遠い「遠い」の場合は、番組補助情報取得部25は、空間的関係情報「disjoin-f(広域)」を取得する。また、包含関係「分離」、領域の広さが閾値より狭い「狭い」、2つの各地点の距離が閾値より近い「近い」の場合は、番組補助情報取得部25は、空間的関係情報「disjoin-n(狭域)」を取得する。さらに、包含関係「分離」、領域の広さが閾値より狭い「狭い」、2つの各地点の距離が閾値より遠い「遠い」の場合は、番組補助情報取得部25は、空間的関係情報「disjoin-f(狭域)」を取得する。 Also, in the case of “separation”, the program auxiliary information acquisition unit 25 further classifies the relationship of “separation” in detail according to the distance between two points and the area size. That is, the program auxiliary information acquisition unit 25 has the inclusion relationship “separation”, and there are two types of cases where the distance between the two points is nearer than the threshold and when the distance is farther than the threshold. This relationship is further classified in detail. Further, the program supplementary information acquisition unit 25 further details the relationship of “separation” on the assumption that there are two types of areas, that is, a wide area where the area of each of the two points is wider than the threshold and a boundary where the area is narrower than the threshold. Classify into: When the inclusion relationship is “separation”, the area is “wide” that is wider than the threshold, and the distance between the two points is “close” that is closer than the threshold, the program auxiliary information acquisition unit 25 selects the spatial relationship information “ "disjoin-n (wide area)" is acquired. In addition, when the inclusion relationship is “separation”, the area is “wide” wider than the threshold, and the distance between the two points is “far” farther than the threshold, the program auxiliary information acquisition unit 25 selects the spatial relationship information “ "disjoin-f (wide area)" is acquired. When the inclusion relationship is “separation”, the area is “narrow” where the area is narrower than the threshold, and the distance between the two points is “near” closer than the threshold, the program auxiliary information acquisition unit 25 selects the spatial relationship information “ get “disjoin-n”. Further, in the case of the inclusion relationship “separation”, the area width is “narrow” which is narrower than the threshold, and the distance between the two points is “far” which is far from the threshold, the program auxiliary information acquisition unit 25 selects the spatial relationship information “ "disjoin-f (narrow area)" is acquired.
 例えば、「福岡県」と「鹿児島県」という地名は完全に分離しているので、番組補助情報取得部25は、包含関係「分離」という地理的関係と判定する。また、例えば、「福岡県」と「鹿児島県」とは遠く、かつ各地点は広域であると判断し、番組補助情報取得部25は、空間的関係情報「disjoin-f(広域)」を取得する。なお、距離の判断には、番組のジャンルごと、または番組毎に閾値を設定しても良い。 For example, since the place names “Fukuoka Prefecture” and “Kagoshima Prefecture” are completely separated, the program auxiliary information acquisition unit 25 determines that the geographical relationship is the inclusion relationship “separation”. Further, for example, it is determined that “Fukuoka Prefecture” and “Kagoshima Prefecture” are far from each other and each point is a wide area, and the program auxiliary information acquisition unit 25 acquires the spatial relation information “disjoin-f (wide area)”. To do. In determining the distance, a threshold may be set for each program genre or for each program.
 また、包含関係「外接触」とは二つの地名の領域の境界の一部が重複している場合である。例えば、「福岡県」と「佐賀県」は隣接しているので、これらの地名の包含関係「外接触」となり、番組補助情報取得部25は、空間的関係情報「meet」を取得する。 In addition, the inclusion relationship “outside contact” is a case where a part of the boundary between two place name areas overlaps. For example, since “Fukuoka Prefecture” and “Saga Prefecture” are adjacent to each other, the inclusion relationship of these place names becomes “outside contact”, and the program auxiliary information acquisition unit 25 acquires the spatial relationship information “meet”.
 また、包含関係「重複」とは二つの地名の領域の一部に重複がある場合である。例えば、「人吉市」と「球磨川」という二つの地名の関係は「重複」であるので、これらの地名の包含関係「重複」となり、番組補助情報取得部25は、空間的関係情報「overlap」を取得する。 In addition, the inclusion relationship “duplicate” is when there is an overlap in part of the area of two place names. For example, since the relationship between two place names “Hitoyoshi City” and “Kuma River” is “overlap”, the inclusion relation of these place names becomes “overlap”, and the program auxiliary information acquisition unit 25 uses the spatial relationship information “overlap”. Is obtained.
 また、包含関係「内包」とは、AとBとの地名が包含関係(A⊃B)にあるということである。例えば、「福岡県」と「博多駅」という二つの地名の関係を順次、抽出すると、「福岡県」の中に「博多駅」を含むという包含関係にあるので、番組補助情報取得部25は、空間的関係情報「contains」を取得する。 Also, the inclusion relationship “inclusive” means that the place names of A and B are in the inclusion relationship (A⊃B). For example, if the relationship between two place names “Fukuoka Prefecture” and “Hakata Station” is extracted sequentially, the program auxiliary information acquisition unit 25 includes “Hakata Station” in “Fukuoka Prefecture”. , Get spatial relation information “contains”.
 さらに、包含関係「内在」とは、AとBとの地名が内在する関係(A⊂B)にあるということである。例えば、「博多駅」という地名の後に「福岡県」という地名が出現した場合、「博多駅」は「福岡県」の領域中に存在しているので、番組補助情報取得部25は、空間的関係情報「inside」を取得する。 Furthermore, the inclusion relationship “inherent” means that the place name of A and B is in an inherent relationship (A⊂B). For example, when the place name “Fukuoka Prefecture” appears after the place name “Hakata Station”, since “Hakata Station” exists in the area of “Fukuoka Prefecture”, the program supplementary information acquisition unit 25 spatially Get related information "inside".
 以上、図11によれば、番組補助情報取得部25は、2つの地点の包含関係、領域の広さ、および距離を用いて、2つの地点の空間的関係を9つのパターンに分類し得る。そして、番組補助情報取得部25は、9つの各空間的関係に対する説明パターンを図11に示すように決定し得る。 As described above, according to FIG. 11, the program auxiliary information acquisition unit 25 can classify the spatial relationship between the two points into nine patterns using the inclusion relationship between the two points, the area width, and the distance. And the program supplementary information acquisition part 25 can determine the description pattern with respect to each nine spatial relationships as shown in FIG.
 つまり、空間的関係「equal」「contains」の場合、説明パターンは、当該1または2つの地点を説明する「地点説明」である。「地点説明」には、「equal」に対応する「地点説明(1)」、「contains」に対応する「地点説明(2)」の2種類がある。「地点説明(1)」について、番組補助情報取得部25は一の地点を含む地図を取得し、番組補助情報出力部26は当該地図を出力する。また、番組補助情報取得部25は一の地点に対応する写真を取得し、番組補助情報出力部26は当該写真を出力する。「地点説明(2)」について、番組補助情報取得部25はAの地図を取得し、番組補助情報出力部26はAの地図を出力する。次に、番組補助情報取得部25はBの地図を取得し、番組補助情報出力部26はAの地図からBの地図にズームインするように、Bの地図を出力する。また、「地点説明(2)」について、番組補助情報取得部25はAの写真を取得し、番組補助情報出力部26はAの写真を出力する。次に、番組補助情報取得部25はBの写真を取得し、番組補助情報出力部26はBの写真を出力する。 That is, in the case of the spatial relationship “equal” and “contains”, the explanation pattern is “point explanation” explaining the one or two places. There are two types of “point explanation”: “point explanation (1)” corresponding to “equal” and “point explanation (2)” corresponding to “contains”. For “point explanation (1)”, the program auxiliary information acquisition unit 25 acquires a map including one point, and the program auxiliary information output unit 26 outputs the map. Moreover, the program supplementary information acquisition part 25 acquires the photograph corresponding to one point, and the program supplementary information output part 26 outputs the said photograph. For “point explanation (2)”, the program auxiliary information acquisition unit 25 acquires the map of A, and the program auxiliary information output unit 26 outputs the map of A. Next, the program auxiliary information acquisition unit 25 acquires a map of B, and the program auxiliary information output unit 26 outputs the map of B so as to zoom in from the map of A to the map of B. In addition, regarding “point explanation (2)”, the program supplementary information acquisition unit 25 acquires the A photograph, and the program supplementary information output unit 26 outputs the A photograph. Next, the program supplementary information acquisition unit 25 acquires the B photograph, and the program supplementary information output unit 26 outputs the B photograph.
 また、空間的関係「disjoin-n(広域)」「disjoin-f(広域)」「meet」の場合、説明パターンは、当該2つの地点(AとB)を比較して説明する「地点比較」である。「地点比較」について、番組補助情報取得部25はAとBとを含む地図を取得し、番組補助情報出力部26は当該地図を出力する。また、「地点比較」について、番組補助情報取得部25はAの写真を取得し、番組補助情報出力部26は当該Aの写真を出力する。そして、その後、番組補助情報取得部25はBの写真を取得し、番組補助情報出力部26は当該Bの写真を出力する。 Further, in the case of the spatial relationship “disjoin-n (wide area)”, “disjoin-f (wide area)”, and “meet”, the explanation pattern is “point comparison” that is explained by comparing the two points (A and B). It is. For “point comparison”, the program supplementary information acquisition unit 25 acquires a map including A and B, and the program supplementary information output unit 26 outputs the map. In addition, regarding the “point comparison”, the program supplementary information acquisition unit 25 acquires the A photograph, and the program supplementary information output unit 26 outputs the A photograph. After that, the program supplementary information acquisition unit 25 acquires the B photograph, and the program supplementary information output unit 26 outputs the B photograph.
 また、空間的関係「disjoin-n(狭域)」「disjoin-f(狭域)」の場合、説明パターンは、当該2つの地点への経路を説明する「経路説明」である。「経路説明」について、番組補助情報出力部26は、ここでは、地図とストリートビューとを用いて、二つの地点間の経路を出力する。つまり、番組補助情報取得部25は、二つの地名(AとB)を含む地図を取得する。そして、番組補助情報取得部25は、公知の経路探索技術により、AからBへの経路を探索し経路情報を取得する。そして、番組補助情報出力部26は、取得された地図を出力し、かつ当該地図上に、経路情報で示される経路を出力する。また、番組補助情報取得部25は、経路情報で示される経路に沿って、経路上の各地点のストリートビューを取得する。そして、番組補助情報出力部26は、順次、番組補助情報取得部25が取得したストリートビューを出力する。また、番組補助情報取得部25と番組補助情報出力部26とは、開始地点(A)と終了地点(B)ではカメラを所定角度(例えば、180度)回転させ、周囲の様子を見渡す演出を施すことは好適である。 Also, in the case of the spatial relationship “disjoin-n (narrow area)” and “disjoin-f (narrow area)”, the explanation pattern is “route explanation” explaining the route to the two points. Regarding “route explanation”, the program auxiliary information output unit 26 outputs a route between two points using a map and a street view here. That is, the program supplementary information acquisition unit 25 acquires a map including two place names (A and B). And the program supplementary information acquisition part 25 searches the path | route from A to B with a well-known route search technique, and acquires route information. And the program supplementary information output part 26 outputs the acquired map, and outputs the path | route shown by path | route information on the said map. Moreover, the program supplementary information acquisition part 25 acquires the street view of each point on a path | route along the path | route shown by path | route information. And the program supplementary information output part 26 outputs the street view which the program supplementary information acquisition part 25 acquired sequentially. In addition, the program auxiliary information acquisition unit 25 and the program auxiliary information output unit 26 rotate the camera by a predetermined angle (for example, 180 degrees) at the start point (A) and the end point (B) to produce an effect of looking around the surroundings. It is preferable to apply.
 さらに、空間的関係「overlap」「inside」の場合、説明パターンは、当該2つの地点を含む地域を説明する「地域説明」である。「地域説明」は、「地域説明(1)」と「地域説明(2)」とがある。「地域説明(1)」について、番組補助情報取得部25は、AとBとの重複領域を含む地図を取得し、番組補助情報出力部26は当該地図を出力する。また、番組補助情報取得部25は、AとBとの重複領域の写真を取得し、番組補助情報出力部26は当該写真を出力する。「地域説明(2)」について、番組補助情報取得部25は、AとBの地図を取得し、番組補助情報出力部26はAの地図を出力した後、Aの地図からBの地図にズームインするように、Bの地図を出力する。また、番組補助情報取得部25は、AとBの写真を取得し、番組補助情報出力部26はAの写真を出力した後、Bの写真を出力する。 Furthermore, in the case of the spatial relationship “overlap” and “inside”, the explanation pattern is “region explanation” explaining the region including the two points. “Region explanation” includes “Region explanation (1)” and “Region explanation (2)”. For “Region Description (1)”, the program supplementary information acquisition unit 25 acquires a map including an overlapping area of A and B, and the program supplementary information output unit 26 outputs the map. Moreover, the program supplementary information acquisition part 25 acquires the photograph of the duplication area | region of A and B, and the program supplementary information output part 26 outputs the said photograph. For “Region Description (2)”, the program supplementary information acquisition unit 25 acquires the map of A and B, and the program supplementary information output unit 26 outputs the map of A, and then zooms in the map of B from the map of A As shown, the map of B is output. Moreover, the program supplementary information acquisition part 25 acquires the photograph of A and B, and the program supplementary information output part 26 outputs the photograph of B, after outputting the photograph of A.
 以上より、番組補助情報出力部26は、図11の表を用いて、番組補助情報取得部25が取得した1または2種類以上の番組補助情報を、図11の説明パターンに対応する1または2種類以上の番組補助情報を、「ストリートビュー制御」「地図制御」および「写真制御」のうちの1以上の情報を用いて出力する。
(実験)
As described above, the program auxiliary information output unit 26 uses the table of FIG. 11 to display one or more types of program auxiliary information acquired by the program auxiliary information acquisition unit 25 as 1 or 2 corresponding to the explanation pattern of FIG. More than one type of program auxiliary information is output using one or more pieces of information of “street view control”, “map control”, and “photo control”.
(Experiment)
 以下、情報処理装置2が具体的な番組を出力しているテレビである場合の、情報処理装置2の実験結果について説明する。 Hereinafter, the experimental results of the information processing apparatus 2 when the information processing apparatus 2 is a television that outputs a specific program will be described.
 今、実際の番組である「超豪華列車誕生 九州・美しの国を行く」(インターネットURL「http://www.nhk.or.jp/hakken/kyushu/program/tetsudo.html」参照) の一部に行った演出について説明する。 Now, the actual program “Birth of a super luxury train, going to Kyushu and the beautiful country” (see Internet URL “http://www.nhk.or.jp/hakken/kyushu/program/tetsudo.html”) I will explain some of the performances I did.
 今、番組受信部13は、上記の番組を受信する。また、番組関連情報受信部14は、当該番組の番組関連情報である字幕データを受信する。そして、番組出力部15は番組を出力している。 Now, the program receiving unit 13 receives the above program. Further, the program related information receiving unit 14 receives subtitle data which is program related information of the program. The program output unit 15 outputs a program.
 そして、キー情報取得部21は、字幕データから、予め決められたカテゴリーに属する用語である地点情報を取得した、とする。ここで、キー情報取得部21は、「九州」→「福岡」→「大分」→「慈恩の滝」→「大分」→「由布院駅」→「伽藍岳」→「九州」→「福岡」→「鹿児島」→「嘉例川駅」という順序で、キー情報である地点情報を順次、取得した、とする(図12参照)。また、キー情報取得部21は、ここでは、キー情報と時間情報とを一緒に取得する、とする。なお、図12において、出力されている番組を構成する画像(1201)、取得された地点情報とその時間情報(1202)、2つの地点情報が示す2つの地点の空間的関係(1203)が記載されている。また、時間情報とは、キー情報が出現する時を特定する情報である。 Then, it is assumed that the key information acquisition unit 21 has acquired point information that is a term belonging to a predetermined category from the caption data. Here, the key information acquisition unit 21 is “Kyushu” → “Fukuoka” → “Oita” → “Jien no Taki” → “Oita” → “Yufuin Station” → “Mt. It is assumed that point information as key information is sequentially acquired in the order of “Kagoshima” → “Kaegyogawa Station” (see FIG. 12). Here, it is assumed that the key information acquisition unit 21 acquires key information and time information together. In FIG. 12, the image (1201) constituting the output program, the acquired spot information and its time information (1202), and the spatial relationship (1203) between the two spots indicated by the two spot information are described. Has been. Further, the time information is information that specifies when key information appears.
 ここで、シーン判断部22は、一つ目の地点情報が出現してから15秒以内に次の地名が出現した場合に同一シーンと判断する、とする。 Here, it is assumed that the scene determination unit 22 determines the same scene when the next place name appears within 15 seconds after the first point information appears.
 次に、番組補助情報取得部25は、最初の地点情報「九州」を用いて、「九州」単体での演出を行うように、番組補助情報を取得する。なお、ここで、一地点単体の演出とは、当該地点の地図情報と写真を出力することである、とする。 Next, the program auxiliary information acquisition unit 25 acquires the program auxiliary information using the first point information “Kyushu” so that the performance of “Kyushu” alone is performed. Here, the effect of a single point is to output map information and a photograph of the point.
 つまり、番組補助情報取得部25は、「九州」の縮尺の地図を地図情報格納部10またはWeb上から取得する。そして、番組補助情報出力部26は、「九州」の縮尺の地図を地図の出力する領域に表示する。図13の画面(a)の1301が表示されている地図である。また、1302は表示されている番組、1303は取得され、表示されている地点情報である。次に、番組補助情報取得部25は、キー情報「九州」を用いて写真を検索し、取得する。なお、写真の集合は、情報処理装置2が図示しない記録媒体に保持していても良いし、Webから検索しても良い。そして、番組補助情報出力部26は、次の地点情報が出現するまでの間、「九州」に関する写真を出力する(図13の1304参照)。 That is, the program supplementary information acquisition unit 25 acquires a map of the scale of “Kyushu” from the map information storage unit 10 or the Web. Then, the program supplementary information output unit 26 displays a map of “Kyushu” on a map output area. It is the map where 1301 of the screen (a) of FIG. 13 is displayed. Reference numeral 1302 denotes a displayed program, and 1303 denotes point information acquired and displayed. Next, the program supplementary information acquisition unit 25 searches for and acquires a photograph using the key information “Kyushu”. Note that the set of photos may be stored in a recording medium (not shown) by the information processing apparatus 2 or may be retrieved from the Web. Then, the program auxiliary information output unit 26 outputs a photograph relating to “Kyushu” until the next spot information appears (see 1304 in FIG. 13).
 次に、キー情報取得部21は、「福岡」という地点情報を取得する。そして、番組補助情報取得部25は、「九州」と「福岡」との空間的関係情報「contains」を取得する。そして、番組補助情報取得部25は、空間的関係情報「contains」に対応する説明パターン「地点説明(2)」に従って、「福岡」の地図を取得する。そして、番組補助情報出力部26は、「九州」の領域から「福岡」の領域までズームインする地図情報を出力する(図13の1305参照)。 Next, the key information acquisition unit 21 acquires point information “Fukuoka”. Then, the program auxiliary information acquisition unit 25 acquires the spatial relationship information “contains” between “Kyushu” and “Fukuoka”. Then, the program supplementary information acquisition unit 25 acquires a map of “Fukuoka” according to the explanation pattern “point explanation (2)” corresponding to the spatial relation information “contains”. Then, the program auxiliary information output unit 26 outputs map information for zooming in from the “Kyushu” area to the “Fukuoka” area (see 1305 in FIG. 13).
 次に、番組補助情報取得部25は、「福岡」をキーにして、写真を取得する。そして、番組補助情報出力部26は、当該「福岡」の写真を出力する(図13の1306参照)。 Next, the program auxiliary information acquisition unit 25 acquires a photograph using “Fukuoka” as a key. Then, the program auxiliary information output unit 26 outputs the photograph of “Fukuoka” (see 1306 in FIG. 13).
 次に、字幕データに「福岡」という地点情報が出現した後、すぐに「大分」という地点情報が出現した。そして、キー情報取得部21は、「大分」を取得する。 Next, the spot information “Oita” appeared immediately after the spot information “Fukuoka” appeared in the caption data. Then, the key information acquisition unit 21 acquires “Oita”.
 次に、番組補助情報取得部25は、ここでの「大分」は「大分県」と判定し、この二つの地名の領域関係に基づき、「福岡」disjoint「大分」という包含関係を抽出する。つまり、番組補助情報取得部25は、包含関係「disjoint」を取得する。また、番組補助情報取得部25は、地図情報格納部10の地図情報を用いて、「福岡」「大分」は、閾値より狭い「狭域」であり、閾値より広い距離が遠い「遠い」と判断した、とする。つまり、番組補助情報取得部25は、空間的関係情報「disjoint-f(狭域)」を取得する。 Next, the program auxiliary information acquisition unit 25 determines that “Oita” is “Oita Prefecture”, and extracts an inclusion relationship “Fukuoka” disjoint “Oita” based on the area relationship of these two place names. That is, the program supplementary information acquisition unit 25 acquires the inclusion relationship “disjoint”. Further, the program supplementary information acquisition unit 25 uses the map information in the map information storage unit 10 to indicate that “Fukuoka” and “Oita” are “narrow areas” narrower than the threshold, and “far” that is far from the threshold. Assume that you have made a decision. That is, the program supplementary information acquisition unit 25 acquires spatial relationship information “disjoint-f (narrow region)”.
 次に、番組補助情報取得部25は、「disjoint-f(狭域)」に対応する説明パターン「経路説明」に従って、「福岡」「大分」を含む地図を取得する。また、番組補助情報取得部25は、「福岡」から「大分」への経路探索を行い、経路情報を取得する。また、番組補助情報取得部25は、当該経路情報に対応する各地点のストリートビューを順次取得する。そして、番組補助情報出力部26は、「福岡」「大分」を含む地図を出力し、かつ当該地図上に、「福岡」から「大分」への経路探索を出力する(1307参照)。また、番組補助情報出力部26は、「福岡」から「大分」への経路を示すように、経路情報に対応する各地点のストリートビューを順次出力する(1308参照)。 Next, the program auxiliary information acquisition unit 25 acquires a map including “Fukuoka” and “Oita” according to the explanation pattern “route explanation” corresponding to “disjoint-f (narrow area)”. The program supplementary information acquisition unit 25 searches for a route from “Fukuoka” to “Oita” and acquires route information. Moreover, the program supplementary information acquisition part 25 acquires sequentially the street view of each point corresponding to the said route information. Then, the program auxiliary information output unit 26 outputs a map including “Fukuoka” and “Oita”, and outputs a route search from “Fukuoka” to “Oita” on the map (see 1307). In addition, the program auxiliary information output unit 26 sequentially outputs the street view of each point corresponding to the route information so as to indicate the route from “Fukuoka” to “Oita” (see 1308).
 次に、シーン判断部22は、直前の地点情報「大分」の取得から15秒以上経過していることを検知し、シーンが切り替わったと判断する。 Next, the scene determination unit 22 detects that 15 seconds or more have elapsed since the acquisition of the previous point information “Oita”, and determines that the scene has been switched.
