Here, the guidance information is a file that has any element of audio, video, image, and text and can be reproduced by the information presentation device 10. The device control unit 150 acquires the device control information list selected for each information presenting device acquired from the device control information update unit 140, and changes the event number from the guidance information database 230 to the event number based on the event number of the device control information list. The corresponding guidance information is acquired, and the guidance information is transmitted to the information presentation device 10 corresponding to the information presentation device number.

  A series of operations in the above configuration will be described below.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart of the operation in one embodiment of the present invention.

  Step 101) The time information acquisition unit 110 acquires the current time from the timer and passes it to the movement distance calculation unit 120.

Step 102) The movement distance calculation unit 120 sets the start time acquired from the event information database 210 to T, and sets the walking speed in a person's place (in the example of FIG. 3, zone B, C, or D) to S [m / Min], where t is the current time acquired by the time acquisition unit 110, and the distance d _move (t) that the person can move before the event starts,
d _move (t) = (T−s) S
Ask for. However, since the unit of T-t is [minute], the unit of d _move (t) is [m]. This process is obtained for each event.

Step 103) The distance calculation unit 130 between the device position and the event holding position calculates the event holding position from the device setting position from the device setting position held in the presentation device database 220 and the event holding position held in the event information database 210. The distance to is calculated. Here, if the event holding position is (x _m , y _m ) and the device installation position is (x _sn , y _sn ), the distance d _{m, n} between the device position and the event holding position is dm _{, n} = ^{_{((x m -x sn) 2}} + (y m -y sn) 2) 1/2
It is. However, since the unit of position is [m] _, the unit of d _{m, n} is also [m].

  Step 104) The device control information update unit 140 updates the device control information in the device control list storage unit 160 at a predetermined interval (for example, one minute). Here, the device control information is a list including zero or more event numbers, and one device control information exists for each information providing device. Specifically, the device control information update unit 140 updates the device control information as follows.

(1) For every information presentation device (information presentation device number),
d _move (t)> d _{m, n}
