Description of the Related Art In recent years, an environment in which a vast amount of information can be provided and obtained has been improved due to the development of a network such as the Internet and the spread of a large-capacity recording medium. Along with this, various information providing services have been proposed, and these information providing services have been devised in various ways to handle a large amount of information efficiently and effectively. One of the important factors is how to efficiently provide information that an individual needs from a vast amount of information.

  The information providing side characterizes each individual by extracting the personal preference of the user who is the providing destination, and provides a method (personalization of the information provided) that provides information and services that match this. Adopted. This is adopted for an online service or the like that can purchase goods from a site on a network, for example.

  In a service that allows you to purchase books on the network, by introducing information personalization, when a user purchases a book, a function that presents a recommended book from the work list of the author of the purchased book, the same book as this user A function of presenting other books purchased by other user groups who purchased the product, a function of notifying other users of information that the user thinks useful, and the like are realized. In addition, the side receiving information (the side viewing information) can customize (change) the operating environment, settings, and the like according to individual user preferences. The customization includes, for example, a function of changing the responsiveness of the mouse and changing the color scheme and font of the window according to personal preference in an electronic device such as a personal computer or a portable personal information terminal. As described above, a system that can use information efficiently and effectively by performing personalization and customization of the information is already known.

  Also, as an advanced form of personalization, technology that profiles user behavior on the network in real time, technology that provides user-preferred GUIs by learning user behavior, and monitoring user reactions Therefore, a technique for observing the user's preference and response to the content recommended by the agent is considered.

  In addition to this, for example, a technique for providing a service to a user based on position, time, and user preference information has been proposed (Patent Document 1). In this technique, the position information and time information of the user are detected using a mobile terminal, and useful services are provided to the user according to the position information and time information. In addition, there is a method in which a user manages personal information as a diary and efficiently collects user preference information for an administrator (Patent Document 2). In addition, a technique for accumulating and utilizing user behavior trends using a map information database and location data has been proposed (Patent Document 3).

  As described above, it is now possible to provide so-called push-type information that provides optimal information suitable for a user who wants information or services, and for the information receiving side, desired information is provided. Can now be easily obtained.

  In addition, there is a technique (personalization of information to be provided) that characterizes each individual by extracting the preference of the individual user of the provision destination and provides information and services that match this. This is adopted for an online service or the like that can purchase goods from a site on a network, for example. Thus, how to efficiently provide the information that each individual needs individually from the enormous amount of information is an important factor.

  However, the techniques shown in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 3 are mainly information collection from the viewpoint of the service provider, and are objective data rather than providing data depending on each individual user. Tend to. Therefore, it is difficult to provide information that is completely dependent on the individual user and useful to the individual user. Moreover, in the technique shown in Patent Document 2, since it takes time to input preference information by the user, if the user feels complicated, sufficient preference information cannot be collected. In addition, the technique disclosed in the above-described patent document uses information such as collected preference information as index information when looking back later. In addition, conventional keys for collecting information are often related to time, and there is no key using the position as a key.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an information presentation apparatus and an information presentation method that can present information useful for an individual user in association with position information.

  In order to achieve the above-described object, an information presentation device according to the present invention includes position information acquisition means for acquiring position information related to an event experienced by a user, and position information or position information designated in advance by the user. Information input means for inputting related information related to the position information acquired by the acquisition means, storage means for storing the position information and related information in association with each other, and information presenting means for presenting information to the user If the position information stored in the storage means is acquired again by comparing the information acquired by the position information acquisition means with the position information stored in the storage means, the related information corresponding to the re-acquired position information Information presentation control means for controlling the extraction and presentation to the user, so that when the acquired position information has been recorded before, the function corresponding to the re-acquired position information is provided. To extract the information presented to the user.

  The position information may be absolute position information including latitude and longitude, or may be a position represented by a proper noun including an address, place name, place name, and facility name.

  An information presentation device according to the present invention includes information acquisition means for acquiring experience information related to an event experienced by a user, and the storage means stores positional information, related information, and experience information in association with each other. The presentation control means compares the position information acquired by the position information acquisition means with the position information stored in the storage means, and when the position information stored in the storage means is acquired again, the re-acquired position information The related information and the experience information corresponding to are extracted and presented to the user. Thereby, in addition to position information, user experience information can be added.

  Examples of the information acquisition means include audio data acquisition means for acquiring external audio data, image data acquisition means for acquiring image data, and sentence data acquisition means for acquiring sentence data. The information presentation control means includes position information acquisition When the position information stored in the storage means is acquired again by comparing the position information acquired by the means with the position information stored in the storage means, the information is acquired together with related information corresponding to the re-acquired position information. The voice data, image data, and sentence data that have been extracted can be extracted and presented to the user.

  In order to achieve the above-described object, the information presentation method according to the present invention includes a position information acquisition step of acquiring position information related to an event experienced by a user, position information specified in advance by the user, or An information input process in which related information related to the position information acquired in the position information acquisition process is input, an accumulation process in which the position information and the related information are associated and stored in a memory, and acquired in the position information acquisition process Information presentation that compares the information with the position information stored in the memory and extracts the related information corresponding to the re-acquired position information and presents it to the user when the position information stored in the memory is acquired again When the acquired position information has been recorded before, the related information corresponding to the re-acquired position information is extracted and presented to the user.

  The present invention applies a general concept such as “schedule” or “reservation” specified for future time information such as a future date and time to “location (location information)”. Thus, related information serving as a mark can be added to the acquired or input position information. When this position information is detected next time, that is, when the user visits a place corresponding to the position information to which the related information is added, the related information can be presented to the user. According to the present invention, a warning or notification specified by the user himself / herself for the position information is performed using the position information as a trigger.

  In the present invention, efficient acquisition and utilization of information useful for individuals is an important factor. The present invention applies a general concept such as “schedule” or “reservation” specified for future time information such as a future date and time to “location (location information)”. Has proposed a mechanism for presenting information personally required by the user, characteristic information, and the like at an optimal timing for the user.

  Hereinafter, an information presentation apparatus shown as a specific example of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The information presenting device associates and stores the acquired position information or position information designated in advance by the user and related information related to the position information, so that when the position information is acquired again, Information can be presented.

  An outline of an information presentation apparatus shown as a specific example of the present invention is shown in FIG. The information presentation device 1 includes an information registration unit 10 related to information input, means for accumulating such information, and an information utilization unit 30 that uses the information thus obtained later.

  The information presenting apparatus 1 includes, as an information registration unit 10, an information acquisition unit 11 for acquiring information related to an experienced event and position information, and a related information addition unit 12 to which related information related to position information is added. A data recognition processing unit 13 for recognizing acquired information, a data definition processing unit 14 for classifying the recognized data according to a predetermined definition, and a data storage unit 15 for storing data classified according to the definition I have.

  The information acquisition unit 11 is means for acquiring information around the user, and includes means for acquiring image information, audio information, position information, date and time, such as a camera, a microphone, and a GPS unit. The data recognition processing unit 13 performs processing for extracting specific information from image information, audio information, position information, date and time acquired by a camera, a microphone, a GPS unit, and the like.

  The related information adding unit 12 adds related information related to the position information to the position information acquired by the information acquiring unit 11. The position information includes not only position information acquired by actually visiting, but also position information that has not yet been acquired, that is, position information of a place that has not been visited by the user but has been input in advance. The related information may be information that characterizes the position information for the user, such as image information, audio information, or text data input by the user, acquired by the information acquisition unit 11.

  The data recognition processing unit 13 includes an image recognition unit 16, a text processing unit 17, and an audio processing unit 18. Image data acquired from the camera is subjected to image recognition processing and image processing by the image recognition unit 16 and the text processing unit 17. Text recognition processing is performed to extract specific image data and text data. If it is voice data acquired from a microphone, the voice recognition unit 19 recognizes the voice, the language processing unit 20 converts the voice information into text data, and the keyword extraction unit 21 extracts a keyword from the converted text data. To do.

  The data extracted by the data recognition processing unit 13 is classified by the data definition processing unit 14 according to a predetermined definition. For example, the definition includes a person image, family, brother, spouse, work relations, friend, age group, residence area, nationality, and other identification information related to this person image, and the degree of congestion determined from image data (high / low) The type of building (type of service industry by signboard, etc.), the name of the building (character string), date and time, weather (sunny, rainy, cloudy, etc.), temperature (high / low), humidity (high)・ Low), wind (strong / weak), location information (latitude, longitude, altitude), nearest station, common name that can be understood only by users, evaluation value, evaluation items (location conditions, evaluation of shop assistants, product evaluation) , Store atmosphere, price setting, cooking time, other conditions, etc.), and the acquired data is classified based on these definitions. The data storage unit 15 stores data classified based on the above definition.

  Then, the case where the positional information registered in the above-mentioned information registration part 10 and related information are utilized is demonstrated.

  The information presenting apparatus 1 includes, as the information use unit 30, an information acquisition unit 31 for acquiring current information and position information, a data recognition processing unit 32 that recognizes the acquired information, and a position acquired from the data storage unit 15. A presentation information search unit 33 that searches whether there is related information corresponding to the information, and an information presentation unit 34 that presents the extracted information to the user.

  The information acquisition unit 31 and the data recognition processing unit 32 acquire and recognize the current location information and other information. The data recognition processing unit 32 extracts keywords related to place, time, person, and the like from voice data, sentence data, image data, and the like. The data recognition processing unit 32 can also use data recorded in the schedule management software.

  The presentation information search unit 33 uses the database management system used by the information registration unit 10 to search for information from the data storage unit 15. The extracted information is presented to the user by the information presentation unit 34. The related information may be composed of text data, voice guidance, image display, or a combination thereof.

  According to the information presenting apparatus 1, it is possible to remind the user of the related information registered in relation to the position information. In addition, since the related information obtained by searching the data storage unit 15 of this apparatus is information registered by the user, information that is efficient and highly profitable can be extracted. The feature of this specific example is that the user of the information presented by the information presentation device 1 is the person who registered this information. Therefore, the information that the user needs personally and the position information such as the location related to this information do not need to be generalized, and may be recorded in a format that only the user can understand. Further, when information related to an experienced event can be acquired, it is preferable that the information is automatically acquired as much as possible by a camera, a microphone, or the like as in the above-described example.

  Even if the user consciously left a record by “memo writing”, “memorandum”, etc., or even if the user left a record electronically using a memo function of a portable information processing terminal or mobile phone, the user I was able to warn / notify the occurrence time of events registered in advance using the alarm function of the device, etc. However, the information presenting apparatus 1 exhibits high convenience for the actual situation in which an alarm cannot be set with respect to time for a place where the time to visit is not yet determined.

  In this specific example, the related information is not only mere landmark information of notifying that it is a designated place (position information), but also image information, audio information, and user information acquired by the information acquisition unit 11. Is information that reminds the user of items characterized by position information, such as still images, moving images, audio, text, and animation. Further, for example, a pointer to a program to be executed, a file to be referred to, link information to other sites used on the Internet, and the like are included. In this specific example, the positional information and the related information are associated with each other and handled together, and are collectively referred to as “bookmark object”, but are distinguished from the so-called “bookmark” that is conventionally used in a Web browser or the like. The bookmark object registration method will be described in detail later.

  Hereinafter, the information presentation apparatus 1 shown as a specific example of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram separately showing a bookmark object registration phase and a bookmark object utilization phase performed using the information presentation device 1, and FIG. 3 shows a specific example of the information presentation device 1. FIG. 2 shows a case where the user has a meal at a restaurant (store 200) and acquires position information. The bookmark object registration phase shown in FIG. 2 is a scene in which surrounding information, position information, and related information at this time are registered as bookmark objects when eating at a restaurant. It is a scene where a bookmark object related to this place (position information) registered in the past is presented when visiting.

  Since it is important that the user always possesses the information presentation device 1 when experiencing a certain event or moving to a certain location, the information presentation device 1 is a portable type in this specific example. It has become. In addition, the information presentation device itself is portable, but for example, it can be connected to a device equivalent to a home stationary PC 100 or server device, and the acquired information can be stored in the stationary PC 100 or server device. Yes. Alternatively, a configuration may be adopted in which a bookmark object created by activating map creation or editing software or the like is transmitted to the information presentation device 1 in a stationary PC 100 or the like having a higher processing capability than the information presentation device 1.

  In this case, a device such as the stationary PC 100 includes a configuration for creating a bookmark object, a storage unit corresponding to the data storage unit 15 of the information presentation device 1, and wireless or wired communication with the main body of the information presentation device 1. Information can be sent and received through the interface.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the information presentation device 1 obtains location information and associates it with related information to create a bookmark object. As shown in FIG. A CCD (Charge Coupled Device) camera 42 and a microphone 43 for acquiring information are provided. These also serve as the information acquisition unit 11 and the information acquisition unit 31 illustrated in FIG. The information presentation device 1 also includes a bookmark object creation processing unit 44 as a related information adding unit 12 for a user to add related information to position information, a search input in the bookmark object use phase, and an operation input of this device. An operation input unit 45 is provided.

  The process of associating the position information with the related information by the bookmark object creation processing unit 44 does not necessarily have to be performed on the currently acquired position information. For example, a bookmark object can be created by specifying a place (position information) and associating related information without visiting the place. The related information associated with the position information is input from the user by the operation input unit 45. The bookmark object created by the bookmark object creation processing unit 44 is stored in the database 53.

Examples of the timing at which related information is added to the position information, that is, the timing at which a bookmark object is created include the following three types.
(1) Immediately When a user operates the information presenting apparatus 1 to execute a bookmark object creation process at a certain place, a bookmark object is created by associating related information specified by the user with the acquired position information. The
(2) Before visiting the site, or after visiting the site, or when visiting a certain place, executing a process for registering a schedule such as “See XX when you visit XX”, or the database in the information presentation device 1 When the user operates the information presenting apparatus 1 to execute the bookmark object creation process during the reproduction of the data stored in 53.
(3) Bookmark object creation processing in the PC 100 A bookmark object is created in the PC 100. The bookmark object is transmitted to the information presentation device 1.

  The information presentation apparatus 1 automatically acquires image data and audio data without any user operation, and the CCD camera 42 and the microphone 43 are stored based on a data model with a predetermined interval or a change in the environment around the user as a trigger. The mode is changed to a mode for generating and storing format data, and the data is stored. For example, when a loud sound is suddenly detected, or when a keyword specified by the keyword extraction unit 51 (described later) is detected, the trigger for acquiring information is used. In the description of this specific example, the information around the user acquired by the information acquisition unit 11 is described as experience information as necessary.

  In addition to the above-described configuration as the configuration corresponding to the information acquisition unit 11 as a configuration for acquiring related information, or a configuration for other information acquisition functions, the information presentation device 1 is weather such as temperature, humidity, and weather. A configuration for acquiring information may be provided. As a method for acquiring such position information and weather information, for example, in addition to base station information periodically transmitted from a base station, which is already realized by a mobile phone, position information and weather information are periodically There is a method of distribution. In addition, a simple temperature sensor and humidity sensor may be provided in the information presentation device 1.

  The information presentation device 1 also includes an image recognition unit 46, a text recognition unit 47, and a voice recognition unit 48 that recognize the acquired image data, text data, and voice data. The image recognition unit 46 performs image recognition processing on the image data acquired from the CCD camera 42, for example, performs processing for recognizing and extracting a human face portion. In addition, the text recognition unit 47 performs text recognition processing on the image data acquired from the CCD camera 42, and recognizes character strings and symbols in the image like characters such as signs, for example, A process of extracting the name of the sign as text data is performed. The voice recognition unit 48 includes a voice recognition processing unit 40, a language processing unit 50, and a keyword extraction unit 51. The voice recognition processing unit 40 performs voice recognition processing on the voice data acquired from the microphone 43, and the language processing unit 50. The voice information is converted into text data at, and the keyword extraction unit 51 extracts keywords from the converted text data.

  Furthermore, the information presentation apparatus 1 includes a data definition processing unit 52 that defines data extracted from the image recognition unit 46, the text recognition unit 47, and the voice recognition unit 48, and is extracted from image data, voice data, text data, and the like. The classified data is classified according to a predetermined definition. The data definition processing unit 52 corresponds to the data definition processing unit 14 and the presentation information search unit 33, searches the database 53 according to the acquired position information, and extracts a corresponding bookmark object. In the information presenting apparatus 1, image data is added as, for example, related information to certain position information and registered in the database 53 as a bookmark object.

  In addition, the data definition processing unit 52 defines and classifies external information acquired as image data, audio data, and text data. For example, the database 53 stores a person's face image data in association with the person's name, address, contact information, age, and the like. In addition, if there is information on the family, brothers, spouses, workplace personnel, friends, etc. related to this person, they are stored together. A person, a building type, and a building name (character string) that are newly acquired and discriminated from the image data, text data, and voice data extracted by the image recognition unit 46, the sentence recognition unit 47, and the voice recognition unit 48. Are classified by the data definition processing unit 52 in comparison with the data stored in the database 53 and accumulated as new data. The definition in the data definition processing unit 53 includes the above-described position information (latitude, longitude, altitude and other general names corresponding to absolute position information), date / time data, weather information (sunny, rainy, cloudy, etc.), temperature ( There are high / low), humidity (high / low), wind (strong / weak), nearest station, common name that can be understood only by the user, etc. The acquired information is classified based on these definitions.

  The defined data is model-converted according to the data model and stored in the database 53 using a database management system (DBMS). Examples of model conversion include, for example, a method of defining each data in a tabular format and managing it using a relational database (RDB) as a DBMS, or classifying each data using RDFs / OWL and using RDFDB or XMLDB as the DBMS There is a method to manage. Information and location information acquired in relation to the events experienced by the user stored in the database 53 can be edited later on the user's intention.

  In addition, the information presentation apparatus 1 includes an LCD 54 as a display unit, a display device 55, a speaker 56, and an audio output device 57 as a configuration for presenting information to the user. Each configuration described above is centrally controlled by the control unit 58 including a CPU, a ROM storing processing programs, and a RAM as a work area of the CPU.

  Next, the bookmark object created by the bookmark object creation processing unit 44 will be described with reference to FIGS. As described above, the bookmark object is obtained by integrally handling position information and related information related to this position information, and the associated information can be obtained by referring to the registered position information. The bookmark object may be prepared as fixed length data or variable length data.

  FIG. 4 illustrates an example of a bookmark object presented to the user by the information presentation device 1. This bookmark object is associated with position information “north latitude 30 degrees 29 minutes east longitude 140 degrees 19 minutes” with related information indicating an action. In FIG. 4, a sentence string “Find an albatross nest” is presented. In the example of FIG. 4, the position information is absolute position information based on latitude and longitude. However, if necessary, the position information is replaced with a general name such as Mt. Fuji, Mt. Also good. FIG. 5 illustrates an example of a bookmark object presented to the user by the information presentation device 1. In this bookmark object, related information with respect to the positional information “north latitude 30 degrees 29 minutes east longitude 140 degrees 19 minutes” is associated as image data. Further, only the pointer indicating the reference destination is displayed in the bookmark object, and the actual information may be stored in another location. In the example of the bookmark object shown in FIG. 6, the link destination address of the Internet is associated as the related information with respect to the position information “north latitude 30 degrees 29 minutes east longitude 140 degrees 19 minutes”. Note that the method of presenting the bookmark object is not limited to the presentation form shown in FIGS. 4 to 6. There is no need to collectively display the position information and the related information. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the bookmark object can be represented as a pointer drawn from a predetermined position in the map data.

  Next, processing for presenting a bookmark object will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram for explaining how a user registers a bookmark object and presents it again. FIG. 9 illustrates bookmark object registration and presentation processing.

  The information presentation device 1 acquires position information (step S1). It is determined whether or not a bookmark object for the acquired position information is registered (step S2). If no bookmark object is registered for this position information (step S2: no), it is then determined whether or not a mode for registering the bookmark object has been selected (step S3). When the registration mode is selected (step S3: Yes), related information is input by the user (step S4). For example, it is assumed that the user has registered the related information “This time only west ridges could be observed at this time P1 (x1, y1, z1) at t = t1. Here, it is assumed that the position information regarding the place P1 is (x, y, z) = (latitude, longitude, altitude). Information input by the user is associated with the position information and stored in the database 53 as a new bookmark object (step S5).

  Therefore, according to the above-described processing, for example, even if the user reaches the place P2 (x2, y2, z2) at t = t2 (where t1 <t2), the place registered in the bookmark object is Because of the difference, the information presentation device 1 is unresponsive at this point. When the user reaches the place P1 again at t = t3 (where t2 <t3) (step S2: Yes), a bookmark object including the matching position information is presented (step S6).

  In the presentation process described above, a predetermined range may be given to the position information at the time of registration. In this case, the bookmark object registered in P1 can be presented even if the registered position information in the vicinity is detected.

  In the following, the case where the bookmark object registration and presentation processing described above is performed in the situation shown in FIG. 2 will be described with reference to the drawings.

  The information presentation apparatus 1 will be described with reference to FIG. 10 and FIG. 11 when acquiring information (experience information) and position information related to an event experienced by a user and registering related information related thereto. FIG. 11 shows experience information acquisition processing and bookmark object registration processing when the user has a meal at a restaurant (store 200).

  First, a case where the user acquires experience information at the restaurant 200 will be described. When the user carries the information presentation device 1 and eats at the restaurant 200 (experience event: arrow A in FIG. 10), information related to the experienced event is acquired by the information presentation device 1 (FIG. 10). Arrow B). Here, the acquired information includes experience information and position information, but the experience information and position information are automatically acquired by the information presentation device 1. With respect to the acquired position information, related information is input by the user (arrow C in FIG. 10). However, as described above, the input of the related information may not be simultaneous with the acquisition of the position information.

  The timing at which the experience information is acquired may be set to a mode in which the user automatically acquires information at a predetermined interval before entering the restaurant 200, but normally the user cannot consciously perform this mode setting operation itself. There are many cases. In the present invention, it is desirable that the information related to the experienced event is acquired so as not to be conscious of the user. Therefore, it is possible to automatically acquire the experience information by using a surrounding situation change as a trigger as much as possible. For example, assuming that the word “welcome” is defined in advance as a keyword for triggering, when the user enters the restaurant 200 and the information presentation device 1 detects the word “welcome”, data is created using this as a trigger. The mode is entered (step S11 and step S12 shown in FIG. 11).

  An example of the experience information acquired at this time is shown in FIG. In the following figure, for the sake of convenience, it is assumed that data is entered only for the part related to the explanation, but other data is also included in the blank part. In FIG. 12, the acquired time information associated with the acquired information number is represented as “200307221730” if it is 17:30 on July 22, 2003, and the position information is “ 605958, 1354536, 546 ″ (latitude 60 ° 59′58 ″, longitude 135 ° 45′36 ″, altitude 546 m). In addition, for example, information on incidental conditions such as weather information transmitted from the base station is added. The time information acquired here may be accurate time information included in the GPS data. For example, “2003/07/22 night”, simply “day”, “night”, “holiday”, “weekday” Abstract expressions are also included. Similarly, the position information may be represented by a common name or the like familiar to the user instead of the latitude and longitude, such as a station name, a building name, a facility name, and a place name. This is because when the user searches in the bookmark object use phase, it is extracted as easy-to-understand and easy-to-use information.

  The timing at which the user inputs related information (arrow C in FIG. 10) may be any time as described above, and may be added later in time to the acquired information. In this specific example, when the user finishes a meal at the restaurant 200, information “Order XX next time” is input.

  When a trigger is detected when the information presenting apparatus 1 activates a CCD camera, GPS, or the like in step S11 and is on standby, in step S12, the information presenting apparatus 1 shifts to a data creation mode and acquires experience information. The experience information acquired in step S12 is recognized and processed after step S13. If it is image data, image recognition processing is performed on the image data acquired from the CCD camera 42 in step S3. At this time, if it is image data and character information is included in the image, the text recognition unit 47 executes text recognition processing on the image data acquired from the CCD camera 42 in step S14. A character string or a symbol in an image such as a character such as is recognized, and the names of buildings and signs are extracted as text data. In the case of voice data, the acquired voice data is subjected to voice recognition processing in the voice recognition processing unit 48 in step S15, the voice information is converted into text data in the language processing unit 50 in step S16, and the keyword is specified in step S17. The extraction unit 51 extracts keywords from the text data. Since the position information acquired by the GPS unit 41, GPS data such as date and time data, and text data input from the operation input unit 45 can be used as they are, the process proceeds to the next step.
