Hereinafter, the specific operation of the guide information proposing device A in the present embodiment will be described. First, an outline of the operation of the guide information proposing device A will be described with reference to FIG.

A scanner scans the tourist's geographic tourism information (for example, a guidebook used for travel). 601 of FIG. 6 shows the guidebook information possessed by the user. The guidebook information here is a map of Kinkakuji Temple, a map of Kiyomizudera Temple, a guidebook page of a temple in Kyoto, and so on. That is, the guidebook information received by the reception unit 2 may be 2 or more.

Then, the guide information proposing device A scans the guidebook information. Then, the reception unit 2 receives the guidebook information. Next, the key information extraction unit 31 recognizes characters in the scanned guidebook information and acquires one or more object information. Then, the replenishment source information acquisition unit 32 acquires map information that is an MBR including an area in which all one or more object information is stored. The replenishment source information here is map information. Then, the replenishment source information output unit 42 displays the map information. Then, the output unit 4 superimposes and displays the map of the scanned guidebook information on the map information (wide area map). The output is 602. Moreover, the map information of 602 can be operated. Further, it is assumed that the map information of 602 is displayed on the touch display, for example. Further, the processing unit 3 may identify the language from the guidebook information received by the reception unit 2 and acquire a language identifier (for example, English or Japanese). Then, the replenishment source information acquisition unit 32 may acquire the replenishment source information of the language matching the language identifier.

It is stored. The three management tables have attribute values of "chunk name", "user operation", "object acquisition method", and "degree of interest". The "chunk name" is the name of the chunk. "User operation" is a pattern of operation columns for matching chunks. It can be said that "user operation" is a chunk. The "object acquisition method" is information regarding an object acquisition method. Here, the "object acquisition method" is an acquisition method identifier that identifies an object acquisition method. Further, the acquisition method identifier may be a program name, a function name, a method name, or the like. The "degree of interest" is the degree of interest given to the object information acquired by using the object acquisition method. Further, in the "user operation" of FIGS. 7-9, " ^* " means 0 or more repetitions, and " ⁺ " means 1 or more repetitions.

The "local display chunk" in the map operation chunk management table of FIG. 7 is an operation of limiting the display range and trying to confirm a certain point from the vicinity. It is an operation sequence when approaching a point of interest by m operation, s operation and c operation, and performing detailed confirmation by i operation. Checking a certain point from the vicinity is considered to be of interest to that point, so the locally displayed object is considered to be of interest. At this time, the acquisition method identifier is "nearest neighbor object acquisition (c)". When the acquisition method identifier is "nearest neighbor object acquisition (c)", the attention object acquisition unit 33 acquires the information of the nearest neighbor object of the center point at the time of c operation as the attention object information. The nearest object to the center point is an object that exists at the position closest to the center point.

The “note designation chunk” in FIG. 7 is an operation in which the user centers a note written on a map such as a place name or an object name. Normally, the centering on the map is considered to be interested in the point, but the addition of the note character is considered to be interested in the object to which the note character is attached, not the point. This operation is an operation sequence when the m operation is performed 0 times or more after the detailed confirmation is performed by the i operation and the s operation is performed. At this time, the acquisition method identifier is "nearest neighbor object acquisition (s)". When the acquisition method identifier is "nearest neighbor object acquisition (s)", the attention object acquisition unit 33 acquires the place name or name given to the nearest neighbor object at the center point at the time of s operation as the attention object information.

The “moving chunk” in FIG. 7 is an operation in which the user moves the display range of the map. Perform a move operation to see the neighborhood at the point the user is currently looking at. Since this operation is performed so that the user can see the point in a wide range, it is considered that the user is interested in the vicinity of the movement start point and the movement end point. This operation is an operation sequence when the m operation is performed and the m operation and the c operation are performed 0 or more times. Consider the scale of the schematic map generated by this operation. It is assumed that the move chunk is not the only operation column for acquiring the object of interest information.

The "wide area search chunk" in FIG. 7 means that the m operation is performed 0 or more times after the o operation is performed, and the s operation and the c operation are performed once or more in order to see the periphery of the point currently being viewed by the user. This is an operation to determine the point of interest to the user. At this time, the acquisition method identifier is "nearest neighbor object acquisition (sc)". When the acquisition method identifier is "nearest neighbor object acquisition (sc)", the attention object acquisition unit 33 acquires the information of the nearest neighbor object at the point centered by the s operation and the c operation as the attention object information.

The "narrowing chunk" in FIG. 7 means that the user performs i-operation at least once on the point currently displayed, and at least 0 times the point of interest to the user from the newly displayed detailed map. It is an operation to narrow down the range of the target of interest by performing the c operation once or more after the m operation. At this time, the acquisition method identifier is "nearest neighbor object acquisition (c)". When the acquisition method identifier is "nearest neighbor object acquisition (c)", the attention object acquisition unit 33 acquires the information of the nearest neighbor object of the center point at the time of c operation as the attention object information.

In the Street View operation chunk management table of FIG. 8, "Movement chunk is an operation to change the current location from one point to another. This operation is performed by M operation. Only the move chunk has the object information of interest. Not the operation column to get.

The “surrounding confirmation chunk” in FIG. 8 is an operation for confirming the surroundings of a certain point. Check the surroundings by moving the screen by P operation and T operation. By performing this operation, it is considered that the user is interested in the arrangement relationship of the objects around the point. At this time, the acquisition method identifier is "object (P | T)". When the acquisition method identifier is "object (P | T)", the attention object acquisition unit 33 acquires the information of the object at the time of P or T operation as the attention object information.

The “point confirmation chunk” in FIG. 8 is an operation of paying attention to a certain point and confirming the point in detail. This operation is an operation of confirming the neighborhood by performing the I operation after the P operation and the T operation 0 times or more. It is considered that the user is interested in the object that has performed the I operation due to the P operation and the I operation after the T operation. At this time, the acquisition method identifier is "object (I)". When the acquisition method identifier is "object (I)", the attention object acquisition unit 33 acquires the object information at the time of the I operation as the attention object information.

The “height confirmation chunk” in FIG. 8 is an operation of paying attention to an object at a certain point and trying to confirm the height. This operation is an operation in which after the P operation and the T operation 0 or more times, the T operation is performed and the height is confirmed by moving the screen up and down. It is considered that the user is interested in the object that has undergone the T operation. At this time, the acquisition method identifier is "object (T)". When the acquisition method identifier is "object (T)", the attention object acquisition unit 33 acquires the object at the time of T operation as the attention object.

The "absolute point confirmation chunk" in the map / street view switching operation chunk management table in FIG. 9 is an operation sequence performed when switching from the map to the street view, and the user who is interested in the object on the map has the operation sequence. It is an operation to try to see the object again in Street View. This is an operation chunk for performing a point confirmation chunk, which is a street view operation chunk, after switching to the street view and performing M operations 0 or more times after the local display chunk in the map operation chunk. The user who performed this operation chunk is considered to be very interested in the object. At this time, the acquisition method identifier is "object (I)". When the acquisition method identifier is "object (I)", the attention object acquisition unit 33 acquires the object at the time of I operation as the attention object.

The "relative point confirmation chunk" in FIG. 9 is an operation sequence performed when switching from Street View to a map, and a user who is interested in an object on Street View can use the position of the object and the object. This is an operation to know the positional relationship of surrounding objects. After 0 or more M operations on Street View, switch to the map from the last screen displayed by performing the point confirmation chunk which is the Street View operation chunk, and perform 0 or more i operations, s operations, and c operations. Is an operation chunk when is done. The user who performed this operation chunk is considered to be interested in the positional relationship of the object of interest. At this time, the acquisition method identifier is "all objects (sc)". When the acquisition method identifier is "all objects (sc)", the attention object acquisition unit 33 acquires the information of all the output objects on the map as the attention object information at the time of sc operation.

The "multi-point confirmation chunk" in FIG. 9 is an operation sequence performed when switching from street view to map and then switching to street view, and is an operation for confirming multiple points from both the map and street view. Is. Check the object of interest in the point confirmation chunk, which is a street view operation chunk, switch to the map and expand the scale by operating o. Find out. After that, by performing a narrowing chunk in the map operation chunk, we will pay attention to another object of interest, switch to Street View, and after 0 or more M operations, it is an operation chunk when P operation and T operation are performed. .. The user who performed this operation chunk is considered to have considerable interest in multiple points. At this time, the acquisition method identifier is "object (I), nearest neighbor object acquisition (c)". When the acquisition method identifier is "object (I), nearestest object acquisition (c)", the attention object acquisition unit 33 acquires the object information at the time of I operation as the attention object information, and recently at the time of c operation. Acquires the information of the nearby object as the object of interest information.

Next, an example of a method in which the attention object acquisition unit 33 acquires the attention object information in Street View without using the chunk management table will be described. The acquisition of the object of interest here is a detection method when no other operation including the I operation is performed on the street view. When the I operation is performed on a specific object, the attention object acquisition unit 33 determines that the object is the attention object and acquires the object information as the attention object information. That is, the attention object acquisition unit 33 acquires the position information when the I operation is performed, and acquires the object information corresponding to the position information as the attention object information.

Also, users who find an object of interest in Street View will likely see the same object from a different perspective the next time they make changes to the screen. At this time, the angle information changes, but the change in longitude and latitude information is considered to be small. That is, when the object A is first viewed, the object of interest acquisition unit 33 acquires angle information and longitude / latitude information. Then, when the attention object acquisition unit 33 detects that the angle information on the screen when A is viewed from another viewpoint at a nearby point is different from the first time, but the change in the longitude / latitude information is small, the attention object acquisition unit 33 33 acquires the residence time of each screen. Then, when the residence time of each screen is equal to or longer than the threshold value, the attention object acquisition unit 33 determines A as the attention object and acquires the attention object information of A.

Further, it is assumed that the transportation means storage unit 113 now stores the transportation means determination information management table shown in FIG. The transportation means judgment information management table has one or more transportation means judgment information. The transportation means determination information has a "transportation means identifier" and a "type information condition". The type information condition is information including one or more types of information, and is a condition for acquiring a transportation means identifier. The type information condition "bus stop & tourist spot" indicates that one or more bus stops and one or more tourist spots are included in the acquired two or more types of information. Type information condition "Railway station & tourist spot" indicates that one or more railway stations and one or more tourist spots are included in the acquired two or more types of information. The type information condition "(taxi stand or rental car shop or parking lot) & tourist spot" indicates that the acquired two or more types of information include the taxi stand or the rental car shop or the parking lot and include the tourist spot. .. The type information condition "sightseeing spot" indicates that one or more tourist spots are included in the acquired type information.

In such a situation, it is assumed that the user has operated on the geographic interface. It is assumed that such an operation was an operation that showed interest in "Gion-Shijo Station-> Yasaka Shrine-> Store on Higashioji-dori-> Kiyomizu-dera-> Kiyomizu-Gojo Station".
