In such a schedule management system, taking into account the user's schedule to be managed (date and time information, location information), spots and events that the user is expected to visit in the free time in which the user's schedule is not registered Some of them have a function of proposing information regarding the above (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  The automatic schedule generation system described in Patent Document 1 extracts a gap time (hereinafter referred to as free time) from a schedule (including date information and location information) manually registered by a user, and the extracted free time, It has a function of extracting spot candidates that visit during idle time from previously stored event information (event date information, event location information, etc.). By such a schedule automatic generation system, a schedule generation of idle time is efficiently performed.

JP 2010-39725 A

  By the way, in the automatic schedule generation system described in Patent Document 1 described above, it is possible to acquire information in units of spots that the user visits during idle time. However, for example, it is difficult for a user who intends to visit a specific spot (visit destination) to make a plan proposal in an easy-to-understand manner by associating a plurality of spots related to the specific spot. In addition, although there are services that are simply proposed by packaging a plurality of spots as a service such as a travel agency, the user can comprehensively grasp spot information related to the spots visited by the user Therefore, for example, when information on spots related to spots that the user visits later is grasped, it may be necessary to recreate the plan.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances. For example, a spot-related information presentation system and a spot-related information presentation method capable of appropriately grasping spot information related to a specific spot that a user wants to visit are provided. The purpose is to provide.

  The spot related information presentation system according to the present invention includes a storage unit that stores behavior data including a plurality of spot information indicating spots, an input unit that inputs reference spot information that is reference spot information, and a storage unit. Of the stored behavior data, extraction means for extracting behavior data including spot information related to the reference spot information input by the input means, and spot information included in the behavior data extracted by the extraction means are grouped into predetermined groups. A grouping unit configured to group based on the rule; and an output unit configured to output information based on the grouping performed by the grouping unit.

  The spot related information presenting method according to the present invention is a spot related information presenting method by a spot related information presenting system that stores action data including a plurality of spot information indicating spots, and is a reference spot that is reference spot information. An input step for inputting information, an extraction step for extracting behavior data including spot information related to the reference spot information input in the input step, and spots included in the behavior data extracted in the extraction step A grouping step for grouping the information based on a predetermined grouping rule; and an output step for outputting information based on the grouping in the grouping step.

  According to these inventions, action data including spot information related to input reference spot information is extracted, and spot information included in the action data is grouped. Since the spot information to be grouped is extracted from the action data including the spot information related to the reference spot information, the degree of association with the reference spot information is high (there is a high possibility of being visited together with the reference spot information) Spot information can be extracted. In addition, spot information that is highly related to the reference spot information is not output in units of spots, but is grouped and output based on a predetermined grouping rule, so the user covers the spot information related to the reference spot. Can be grasped. As mentioned above, according to this invention, the information of the spot relevant to the specific spot which a user wants to visit can be grasped | ascertained appropriately.

  The spot information of the action data stored in the storage means is associated with information indicating the category of the spot content, and the grouping means performs grouping based on the grouping rule corresponding to the information indicating the category. I do. By grouping each spot content category, it is possible to comprehensively grasp spots of the same category.

  In addition, information indicating the position is associated with the spot information of the action data stored in the storage means, and the grouping means performs grouping based on a grouping rule corresponding to the information indicating the position. . By grouping for each piece of information indicating the position of the spot, it is possible to comprehensively grasp the spots that are close to each area.

  Further, the grouping means performs grouping based on a grouping rule corresponding to the number of spot information. By grouping according to the number of spot information, the user can more appropriately grasp the spot information related to the specific spot that he / she wants to visit. That is, for example, when the number of pieces of spot information is equal to or greater than a predetermined number, only spot information related to a group including a certain number of pieces of spot information is presented. For this reason, the user can appropriately grasp the spot information related to the central group (the number of spot information is large) among spots related to a specific spot to be visited. In addition, for example, when the number of spot information is less than or equal to a predetermined number, grouping can reduce the number of spot information included in one group, so that the user can grasp the spot information included in one group. Becomes easier.

  Further, the grouping means changes the extraction condition again with respect to the extraction means according to the number of spot information included in one group obtained by grouping the spot information included in the action data extracted by the extraction means. Instruct to perform extraction. As described above, the grouping unit instructs the extraction unit to change the extraction condition (filtering condition) step by step according to the number of spot information included in one group. Appropriate number of information.

  The storage means stores a plurality of action data, the action data stored by the storage means includes information indicating time, and the extraction means includes an action including spot information related to the reference spot information. Action data whose information indicating the time is within a predetermined period is extracted from the data. By extracting behavior data whose information indicating time is within a predetermined period, appropriate behavior data can be extracted in consideration of conditions such as trends and special periods.

  The storage means stores a plurality of action data, and the action data stored in the storage means includes at least one of information indicating weather, information indicating preference, information indicating moving means, or information indicating organizer. The input means inputs at least one of the information indicating the weather, the information indicating the preference, the information indicating the moving means, or the information indicating the organizer in addition to the reference spot information. Of the action data including the spot information related to the reference spot information, the information indicating the weather extracts the action data having a predetermined relationship with the information indicating the weather input by the input unit, and the spot related to the reference spot information Among the behavior data including information, the behavior information having a predetermined relationship with the information indicating the preference input by the input unit is extracted, and the scan data related to the reference spot information is extracted. Among the action data including the spot information, the information indicating the moving means extracts the action data having a predetermined relationship with the information indicating the moving means input by the input means, and includes the spot information related to the reference spot information. Among the action data, information indicating the organizer extracts action data having a predetermined relationship with the information indicating the organizer input by the input means. According to this, it is possible to extract action data that is more in line with user needs (high satisfaction). That is, since the information indicating the weather is extracted only the action data having a predetermined relationship with the information indicating the input weather, for example, the action data including the information indicating the same weather as the information indicating the input weather is included. Can be extracted. Moreover, since the information indicating the preference is extracted only the behavior data having a predetermined relationship with the information indicating the input preference, for example, the behavior data including the information indicating the same preference as the information indicating the input preference. Can be extracted. In addition, since the information indicating the moving means is extracted only the behavior data having a predetermined relationship with the information indicating the input moving means, for example, the information indicating the same moving means as the information indicating the input moving means is included. Action data can be extracted. Also, since the information indicating the organizer is extracted only the action data having a predetermined relationship with the information indicating the input organizer, for example, the information indicating the same organizer as the information indicating the input organizer is included. Action data can be extracted.

  The storage means stores a plurality of action data, the action data stored by the storage means includes information indicating the degree of congestion, and the extraction means includes spot information related to the reference spot information. Among the behavior data, behavior data whose information indicating the degree of congestion is a predetermined condition is extracted. By extracting action data whose information indicating the degree of congestion is a predetermined condition, action data including spot information that many people visit is extracted, and on the contrary, spot information that people do not visit much It is possible to extract action data that includes the action data, and it is possible to extract action data that is more in line with user needs (higher satisfaction).

  Further, the grouping means determines whether each spot information included in one grouped group satisfies a preset condition, and sets the spot information satisfying the preset condition as other spot information. Differentiating from information, the output means outputs the spot information distinguished by the grouping means in distinction from the other spot information. Out of spot information in one group, spot information that satisfies a preset condition is output separately from the other spot information, so that the output is more suitable for the user's purpose, intention, and situation. Can do.

  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of a spot related information presentation system and a spot related information presentation method according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the description of the drawings, the same elements are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted.

  First, the function of the spot related information presentation system 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a functional configuration of a spot related information presentation system according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the spot related information presentation system 1 according to the present embodiment includes a server 10 and a client terminal 20. The spot related information presentation system 1 may include only the server 10. The server 10 is a server operated by, for example, a business operator. The client terminal 20 is a mobile communication terminal, for example, and is a terminal that communicates with the server 10 using a communication network such as a mobile communication network, a wireless LAN, and the Internet. The spot related information presentation system 1 according to the present embodiment is a system that supports user schedule creation.

  The spot related information presentation system 1 according to the present embodiment is a spot where the user plans to visit (or is considering to visit) at the time of creating a schedule such as formulation of a sightseeing plan by the user, for example. When information is input (searched), spot information related to the spot information is grouped according to a predetermined rule, and information based on the grouping is presented. Here, a spot is a place where location information indicating a position (for example, “latitude, longitude”, “address”, etc.) is associated with the name of the location information, and can be a place visited by a person. A spot is, for example, a POI (point of interest). Specifically, for example, a sightseeing spot such as an art museum, a temple, or a hotel is a spot. For example, temporarily held events such as “AA Festival” and “BB Concert” are also spots. Further, the spot information is information indicating a spot (a spot is uniquely specified), for example, a POIID that specifies a POI.

  The client terminal 20 is a terminal that inputs a user's schedule based on a user operation. The client terminal 20 has a spot information search function and a schedule registration function as functions related to schedule input. After the client terminal 20 outputs the candidate spot information to be registered as a schedule by the spot information search function, the client terminal 20 registers schedule information (described later) in the server 10 by the schedule registration function. The spot information search function is used, for example, in a travel plan or the like in which only a visit destination that is desired to be visited is determined in a schedule, and a visit destination other than a visit destination that is desired to be visited is not determined. Although FIG. 1 shows only one client terminal 20 as a terminal that communicates with the server 10 in FIG. 1, a plurality of client terminals 20 actually communicate with the server 10. Among the plurality of client terminals 20, some of the client terminals 20 may not have the spot information search function.

  The spot information search function, for example, when a user formulates a schedule such as a travel plan, spot information related to a visit destination that the user wants to visit as a main site (the user is planning to visit or considering visiting) When (spot information) is input (searched), spot information related to the spot information is grouped according to a predetermined rule, and information based on the grouping is presented. Information based on grouping is, for example, spot information having a high degree of association with spot information input by the user. For this reason, the user can easily determine the visit destination to be visited together with the visit destination to be visited by referring to the presented information based on the grouping. The spot information input from the client terminal 20 (spot information that the user is planning to visit or is planning to visit) is a criterion for determining information based on grouping presented from the server 10. Is spot information. Therefore, hereinafter, the spot information input from the client terminal 20 in the spot information search function of the client terminal 20 will be described as reference spot information.

  In the spot information search function, as described above, the client terminal 20 inputs reference spot information in response to a user operation. Further, when inputting the reference spot information, the client terminal 20 responds to a user operation, according to information registered in advance in the client terminal 20, or according to information acquired from an external server (not shown). Information indicating the weather related to the reference spot information (for example, information related to the contents of the weather), information indicating the organizer when visiting the reference spot information (for example, the number of participants), and means for moving when visiting the reference spot information ( For example, information indicating “train”) (for example, information related to the contents of the moving means) and information indicating the preference of the user of the client terminal 20 may be input.

  With reference to FIG. 5, the terminal display image in the spot information search function of the client terminal 20 is demonstrated. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a terminal display image in the spot information search function of the client terminal 20. As shown in FIG. 5, when the user uses the spot information search function, at least a map application is activated, and a map display Ma is displayed on the screen of the client terminal 20. In the example shown in FIG. 5, reference spot information Bs is input by a user from a search window (not shown), and the reference spot information Bs that is information based on grouping and reference spot information Bs is related to the map display Ma. Information regarding the high-degree spot information groups Sg1 to Sg7 is displayed in a superimposed manner. In this way, a highly relevant spot information group can be confirmed at the same time, so that a user who has a plurality of activities (for example, accommodation, appreciation, shopping, driving, etc.) explicitly or potentially for the purpose of going out. , Schedule creation (when, where and what) can be done faster. Thereby, a user's willingness to create an outing plan increases.

  Note that the spot information (reference spot information) input by the user at the client terminal 20 is transmitted to the server 10 for presentation of information based on the subsequent grouping from the server 10, but is not necessarily POIID. It does not have to be entered. That is, since the POIID is associated with the name of the spot, location information (eg, “latitude, longitude”) indicating the position of the spot, for example, a table for converting the POIID and the name of the spot in the client terminal 20, for example. When the user inputs a spot name or the like from the search window, the spot name may be converted into POIID using the conversion table.

  The spot information groups Sg1 to Sg7 are spot information groups each including a plurality of spot information. The spot information groups Sg1 to Sg7 having a high degree of association with the reference spot information Bs are information presented as a result of extraction and grouping of spot information by the server 10. Details will be described in the function description of the server 10.

  In the example shown in FIG. 5, the map display Ma relates to the content of the spot related to the reference spot information Bs at the position corresponding to the location information (for example, “latitude, longitude”) indicating the position of the spot related to the reference spot information Bs. An icon indicating the category is displayed. The category related to the content of the spot is information (for example, “accommodation”, “appreciation”, “hot spring”, “shopping”) indicating the classification of the spot related to the user's behavior, and corresponds to the activity described above. In the example shown in FIG. 5, the spot information groups Sg1 to Sg7 are spot information groups in which the included spot information is the same category and the location information of the included spot information is within a predetermined range. is there. For example, in the spot information group Sg1, an icon indicating a category related to the spot information included in the spot information group Sg1 at a position corresponding to the spot location information related to the spot information included in the spot information group Sg1 in the map display Ma. Is displayed. In addition, the map display Ma displays all the place information indicating the positions of the spots related to the spot information included in the spot information group Sg1 within the same range (in the example of the spot information group Sg1, an ellipse). An ellipse indicating the range of the spot information group Sg1 is displayed. The user sees the display related to the reference spot information Bs and the display related to the spot information groups Sg1 to Sg7 displayed on the client terminal 20, and selects a destination from the spot information included in the spot information groups Sg1 to Sg7. Can be reviewed and determined.

  For example, when the visit information other than the visit destination that the user wants to visit is determined by the spot information search function described above, the schedule registration function provides detailed information (for example, visit time, etc.) related to each visit schedule information. It is a function to register as. The schedule information is information related to a schedule input from the client terminal 20 in response to a user operation, and includes at least spot information (POIID) and scheduled times (start time and end time) for visiting the spot. Information.

  A terminal display image in the schedule registration function of the client terminal 20 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a terminal display image in the schedule registration function of the client terminal 20. As shown in FIG. 6, when the user uses the schedule registration function, at least a map application is activated, and a map display Ma is displayed on the screen of the client terminal 20. When the user uses the schedule registration function, a scheduler application is activated, and a scheduler display Sc is displayed next to the map display Ma on the screen of the client terminal 20. The example shown in FIG. 6 shows a state in which schedule information is input in response to a user operation. In the scheduler display Sc, it is registered to visit LaFonda between 12:00 and 13:00 on January 8, 2012, and visit Sagrada Familia between 14:00 and 16:00. In the scheduler display Sc, an icon indicating the category related to the spot information is displayed, and the number of the spot related to the spot information visited in the same schedule information (for example, LaFonda is No. 1, Sagrada Familia is No. 2, etc.) ) Is displayed. Such a visit order may be automatically assigned by inputting a scheduled time to visit a spot related to each spot information. Then, in the map display Ma, an icon indicating the spot category related to each spot information is displayed at the position corresponding to the spot location information related to each spot information so as to correspond to the scheduler display Sc. In addition, the order of visiting spots according to each spot information is shown. The user can confirm and register the schedule information while viewing the display as shown in FIG.

  In the spot related information presentation system 1, behavior data is stored in the server 10. The action data is data indicating any of the user's past, present, or future actions, such as a user's past action log, current action status, schedule data indicating an action schedule, or the like. The action data includes at least spot information indicating a place (spot) related to the action (details will be described later). In the present embodiment, schedule data (plan log) indicating an action schedule will be described as an example of action data. The schedule data is data generated based on schedule information registered by the schedule registration function of the client terminal 20. Note that the schedule data may be data indicating an action schedule at a past point in time after the schedule information that is the original information is registered by the user of the client terminal 20.

  The server 10 is a server that groups and presents spot information related to reference spot information that is spot information input (searched) by a user of the client terminal 20. In the spot related information presentation system 1, the server 10 accepts reference spot information searched by the user of the client terminal 20. Then, in the stored schedule data, the schedule data including the reference spot information searched by the user of the client terminal 20 is extracted from the stored schedule data, and the spot information included in the extracted schedule data is grouped. . Then, the client terminal 20 outputs information based on the grouping. Detailed functions of the server 10 will be described.

  The server 10 includes a storage unit 11, a schedule storage unit 12, an extraction unit 13, a grouping unit 14, and a communication unit 15.

  The storage unit 11 is a storage unit that stores schedule data including a plurality of pieces of spot information indicating spots. Specifically, the storage unit 11 includes a POI (point of interest) storage unit 16 that stores information associated with spot information, and a schedule storage unit 17 that stores schedule data. Hereinafter, the details of the POI storage unit 16 and the schedule storage unit 17 will be described with reference to FIG. 2A is a table showing a POI data table, and FIG. 2B is a table showing a schedule data table.

  The POI storage unit 16 stores a plurality of pieces of information in which a spot name, a category related to the spot content, and location information indicating the spot position are associated with each other. These pieces of information are information associated with the POIID that is spot information. Specifically, the POI storage unit 16 stores a POI data table 31 shown in FIG. The POI data table 31 indicates a spot name (for example, “Sagrada Familia”, etc.), a category related to the spot content (for example, “accommodation”, “appreciation”, “hot spring”, “shopping”, etc.), and the position of the spot. It is a table storing information associated with location information (for example, “latitude, longitude”, “address”, etc.). The data update of the POI data table 31 may be performed by acquiring POI data from another server, or may be performed manually by an operator operating the server 10.

  The schedule storage unit 17 stores a plurality of schedule data based on the schedule information from the client terminal 20. The schedule data is action data indicating a user's action schedule (or related to action). The schedule data may be data based on the schedule information registered from the client terminal 20, and it does not matter whether it is related to the action actually performed (or performed) by the user. The schedule data includes at least spot information. The schedule data includes schedule data including a plurality of spot information and schedule data including only one spot information. In this embodiment, schedule data including a plurality of spot information is scheduled. This is explained as data.

  Specifically, the schedule storage unit 17 stores a schedule data table 32 shown in FIG. The schedule data table 32 includes spot information (for example, “POIID”), a schedule start time related to the spot information (for example, “start time specified by year / month / day / hour / minute / second”, and the like). This is a table that stores schedule information for each spot, which is information linked with the end time of a schedule related to spot information (for example, “end time specified by year / month / day / hour / minute / second”). . The start time of the schedule related to the spot information is the time when the action related to the spot information is started. The end time of the schedule related to spot information is the time when the action related to the spot information ends. The schedule data is a collection of schedule information for each spot according to a predetermined rule. Therefore, one schedule data includes a plurality of pieces of spot information.

  For example, when one schedule information is registered from a certain client terminal 20, the one schedule information is stored in the schedule storage unit 17 as one schedule data. Each spot information included in the one schedule data is given a schedule ID for uniquely specifying the schedule data. Each spot information to which a schedule ID is assigned is associated with the start time and end time of the schedule related to each spot information, and is stored in the schedule data table 32 as schedule information for each spot. Note that one piece of schedule information registered from the client terminal 20 may be, for example, schedule information within a predetermined period (for example, “1 day”), or a predetermined event unit (for example, “travel of the same itinerary”). Etc.) schedule information. Further, the schedule data may be data that does not relate to the registration unit from the client terminal 20, that is, whether or not it is one schedule information. For example, of the spot information included in the schedule information registered from the same client terminal 20, the spot information whose start time and end time are the same day may be used as spot information included in one schedule data.

  The schedule storage unit 17 stores a plurality of schedule data. That is, the schedule data table 32 stores a plurality of spot schedule information with different schedule IDs. The schedule storage unit 12 stores the spot schedule information in the schedule data table 32.

  The schedule storage unit 12 stores the schedule information for each spot in the schedule data table 32 based on the information registered from the client terminal. The schedule storage unit 12 acquires information registered from the client terminal from the communication unit 15. The schedule storage unit 12 stores one schedule information registered from the client terminal 20 in the schedule storage unit 17 as one schedule data. Specifically, the schedule storage unit 12 assigns the same schedule ID in association with all spot information included in one schedule information. Then, the schedule storage unit 12 associates each spot information with the start time and end time of the schedule related to each spot information, and stores each spot information in the schedule data table 32 as spot information for each spot. Whether or not the schedule data are the same may be determined by a user operation when information is registered from the client terminal 20.

  Further, the schedule storage unit 17 stores a plurality of schedule sub-data that is data associated with the schedule data. The schedule sub-data is assigned the same schedule ID as the corresponding schedule data. Similarly to the schedule data, the schedule sub-data is behavior data indicating a user's behavior schedule (or related to behavior). Further, the schedule sub data is data including contents supplementing the schedule data. Similarly to the schedule data, the schedule sub-data may be information based on schedule information registered from the client terminal 20, or may be information acquired from another server or the like via a communication network such as the Internet. Also good. Further, the schedule data and the schedule sub-data may be stored in the schedule storage unit 17 at the same timing, or may be stored in the schedule storage unit 17 at different timings. Hereinafter, the schedule sub-data will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

  The schedule storage unit 17 includes a weather table 33 (see FIG. 3 (a)), a preference table 34 (see FIG. 3 (b)), an organizer table 35 (see FIG. 3 (c)), movement as a schedule sub-data table. A means table 36 (see FIG. 3D) and a congestion degree table 37 (see FIG. 3E) are stored.

  As shown in FIG. 3A, the weather table 33 includes information related to the weather content (eg, “sunny”, “cloudy”, “rain”, “snow”, etc.), and the weather start time ( For example, “start time specified by year / month / day / hour / minute / second” and the end time of weather (for example, “end time specified by year / month / day / hour / minute / second”) ) Is a table storing information indicating weather, which is information associated with. Information indicating the weather is stored in association with each of a plurality of pieces of spot information included in the schedule data associated with the same schedule ID. The information indicating the weather may be stored in one-to-one correspondence with each of the plurality of spot information, or may be stored in many-to-one correspondence (information indicating a plurality of weathers for one spot information). May be stored. The schedule storage unit 12 stores information indicating the weather in the weather table 33.

  For example, the schedule storage unit 12 acquires information indicating the weather based on the schedule information registered from the client terminal 20 and stores the information in the weather table 33. Specifically, for example, the schedule storage unit 12 acquires spot information and the start time and end time of the schedule related to the spot information from the schedule information. Then, the schedule storage unit 12 accesses an external server (not shown) in which past, present, and future weather information is stored for each predetermined area using a communication network such as the Internet, and accesses the spot information described above. Weather information corresponding to the start time and end time of the schedule is acquired. Then, the schedule storage unit 12 stores the acquired weather information in the weather table 33 as information indicating the weather associated with the spot information. The schedule ID that is the same as the schedule data related to the associated spot information is assigned to the information indicating the weather as the schedule sub-data. When there are a plurality of weather information corresponding to the start time and end time of the schedule related to the spot information, that is, when there is different weather information for each time for one spot information, the schedule storage unit 12 Information indicating a plurality of weathers is stored in the weather table 33 as information indicating the weather corresponding to one spot information. The schedule storage unit 12 may acquire / store information indicating the weather at a timing when the schedule information registered by the client terminal 20 is acquired, or may acquire / store information indicating the weather at a predetermined interval. Also good.

  The preference table 34 is a table that stores information indicating preferences, as shown in FIG. The information indicating the preference is information indicating the preference, for example, the information indicating the preference of the user of the client terminal 20. The information indicating the preference may be information indicating the user's preference, for example, information indicating the place (information indicating the place preferred by the user) such as “hot spring” or “museum”, or “ Information indicating behavior (information indicating behavior preferred by the user) such as “drive” or “baseball game” may be used. Information indicating preference is stored in one-to-one correspondence with schedule data associated with the same schedule ID. Note that the information indicating the preference may be stored in association with each of a plurality of pieces of spot information included in schedule data associated with the same schedule ID. Information indicating the preference in the preference table 34 is stored by the schedule storage unit 12.

  For example, when schedule information is registered from the client terminal 20, the schedule storage unit 12 stores information indicating the user's preference transmitted from the client terminal 20 in the preference table 34. In this case, information indicating the user's preference needs to be registered in advance in the client terminal 20. The schedule storage unit 12 may acquire / store information indicating preference at the timing when the schedule information registered by the client terminal 20 is acquired, or may acquire / store information indicating preference at predetermined intervals. Also good.

  As shown in FIG. 3C, the organizer table 35 is the number of participants related to the spot information (for example, “1 person”, “2 people or more”, “5 people or more”, etc.) and between the organizers. Relationship (for example, “friend”, “family”, “company colleague”, etc.), the average age of the organizer (eg, “0” to “100”, etc.), and the gender of the organizer (“m”, “ It is a table storing information indicating the organizer, which is information associated with “woman”). The event refers to, for example, performing an action such as a trip related to schedule data, and the organizer refers to a person who performs an action such as a trip. The information indicating the organizer is information based on schedule information registered from the client terminal 20. Therefore, the organizer includes at least the user of the client terminal 20 who registered the schedule information. Information indicating the organizer is stored in one-to-one correspondence with schedule data associated with the same schedule ID. Moreover, the information which shows organizer may be memorize | stored corresponding to each of several spot information contained in the schedule data linked | related by the same schedule ID.

In this case, the schedule information registered from the client terminal 20 needs to include the number of participants, the relationship between the organizers, the average age of the organizers, and the sex of the organizers. In addition, for example, each organizer including the user of the client terminal 20 inputs the relationship between the organizers, sex, and the like, and the schedule storage unit 12 receives the input information (for example, “relationship between organizers”). ”,“ Ager age ”,“ sex ”, etc.), information indicating the organizer may be acquired. The schedule storage unit 12 may acquire / store information indicating the organizer at the timing when the schedule information registered by the client terminal 20 is acquired, or acquire / store information indicating the organizer at a predetermined interval. May be.

  As shown in FIG. 3D, the moving means table 36 includes information relating to the contents of the moving means (for example, “train”, “bus”, “car”, “airplane”, etc.), The start time (for example, “start time specified by year / month / day / hour / minute / second”) and the end time (for example, “year” This is a table storing information indicating the moving means, which is information associated with “end time specified by / month / day / hour / minute / second”. Information indicating the moving means is stored in association with each of a plurality of pieces of spot information included in the schedule data associated with the same schedule ID. The information indicating the moving means corresponding to the spot information is, for example, information related to the moving means for heading to the place specified by the spot information. Further, the information indicating the moving means may be stored in one-to-one correspondence with the schedule data associated with the same schedule ID. The schedule storage unit 12 stores information indicating the moving means in the moving means table 36.

  For example, the schedule storage unit 12 acquires information indicating the moving means included in the schedule information registered from the client terminal 20 and stores the information in the moving means table 36. In this case, the schedule information registered from the client terminal 20 needs to include information on the contents of the moving means, start time, and end time for each spot information. The schedule storage unit 12 may acquire / store information indicating the moving means at a timing when the schedule information registered by the client terminal 20 is acquired, or acquire / store information indicating the moving means at a predetermined interval. May be.

As shown in FIG. 3E, the congestion degree table 37 includes location information (eg, “latitude, longitude”, “address”, etc.) indicating the position, and information (eg, population density) indicating the degree of congestion. This is a table storing information indicating the degree of congestion, which is information linked to “1000 persons / km ² ” or the like. Information indicating the degree of congestion is stored in association with each of a plurality of pieces of spot information included in the schedule data associated with the same schedule ID. The information indicating the degree of congestion may be stored in one-to-one correspondence with schedule data associated with the same schedule ID. Information indicating the degree of congestion in the congestion degree table 37 is stored by the schedule storage unit 12.

  For example, the schedule storage unit 12 acquires information indicating the degree of congestion based on the schedule information registered from the client terminal 20 and stores the information in the congestion degree table 37. Specifically, for example, the schedule storage unit 12 acquires spot information and the start time and end time of the schedule related to the spot information from the schedule information. Then, the schedule storage unit 12 accesses an external server (not shown) in which past, present, and future congestion degree information for each spot information is stored in time series using a communication network such as the Internet, and the spot information Congestion degree information of spot information corresponding to the start time and end time of the schedule is acquired. And the schedule storage part 12 stores the acquired congestion degree information in the congestion degree table 37 as information which shows the congestion degree matched with spot information.

May be.

  Returning to FIG. 1, the extraction unit 13 includes schedule data including spot information related to the reference spot information input (searched) by the client terminal 20 in the above-described spot information search function, among the schedule data stored in the storage unit 11. Is an extraction means for extracting. The extraction unit 13 receives the spot information related to the reference spot information from the communication unit 15 that has received the spot information related to the reference spot information from the client terminal 20, and extracts the schedule data. Specifically, when receiving the spot information (more specifically, POIID) related to the reference spot information from the communication unit 15, the extraction unit 13 reads the schedule data table 32 of the schedule storage unit 17. Then, the extraction unit 13 extracts schedule data including spot information (POIID) related to the reference spot information from the schedule data stored in the schedule data table 32. The extraction unit 13 inputs the schedule ID of the extracted schedule data to the grouping unit 14.

  Further, the extraction unit 13 may not only extract the schedule data including the spot information related to the reference spot information but may further filter the extracted schedule data. That is, schedule data in which information indicating time is within a predetermined period may be extracted from the schedule data including the spot information related to the reference spot information described above. The information indicating the time is information specified from the start time and end time (see FIG. 2B) of the schedule related to the plurality of spot information included in the schedule data. The predetermined period is a period set in advance in the extraction unit 13 such as the past three months from the present (the timing at which the schedule data is extracted by the extraction unit 13). By extracting the schedule data of the latest period of information indicating the time as in the past three months, for example, it is possible to extract schedule data including spot information on restaurants that have recently opened and become popular Become. In this case, the extraction unit 13 performs the following processing as many times as the total number of schedule data including the spot information related to the reference spot information. That is, the extraction unit 13 specifies the execution date of the spot information, that is, the execution date of the schedule data from the start time and the end time of the schedule related to the spot information included in certain schedule data. If spot information with different execution dates is included in the same schedule data, both different execution dates may be used as the execution date of the schedule data, and either one of the execution dates may be used as the execution date of the schedule data. It is good. Then, the extraction unit 13 determines whether the execution date of the specified schedule data is within the past three months from the present. The extraction unit 13 extracts the schedule data when the execution date is within three months. On the other hand, if the execution date is not within three months, the schedule data is not extracted. The predetermined period set in advance in the extraction unit 13 is, for example, the season (3 to May in the case of spring), the day of the week, or the predetermined event period (transition period once every 20 years, For example, a night market held in the summer in the southern hemisphere country). By limiting the period as described above, you can check the latest value (a popular restaurant may be closed) and seasonal value (a night market is held in summer). In addition, inns around Ise are crowded, so you can present the area of inns near Matsusaka. Further, the predetermined period set in the extraction unit 13 may be input simultaneously when the client terminal 20 inputs the reference spot information. In this case, the user of the client terminal 20 may input a predetermined period. The extraction unit 13 reads the schedule data table 32 to extract the schedule data whose information indicating the time is within a predetermined period. For example, the setting of the above-mentioned latest period (three months in the above-described example) is performed by setting the number of user usages for the presentation information (impressions) after grouping (the number of clicks, the spot related to the spot information is included in the user schedule information) Tuning (for example, shortening or extending the latest period) in consideration of the number of spots), it is possible to present spot information with a high degree of satisfaction.

  Further, the extraction unit 13 includes, as the above-described schedule data including the spot information related to the reference spot information, information indicating the weather as the schedule sub-data and the information indicating the weather input by the communication unit 15 and a predetermined value. Related schedule data may be extracted. Here, the information indicating the weather input by the communication unit 15 may be information indicating the weather transmitted from the client terminal 20 and received by the communication unit 15, or past / present / future weather information. May be information indicating the weather transmitted from an external server (not shown) stored for each predetermined area and received by the communication unit 15. As described above, the information indicating the weather is schedule sub-data stored in the weather table 33, and is associated with, for example, spot information included in the schedule data associated with the same schedule ID. The extraction unit 13 is, for example, information indicating the weather associated with the spot information included in the schedule data (information relating to the weather content), or information indicating the weather input by the communication unit 15 (information relating to the weather content). ), The schedule data is extracted. As a result, when the information related to the input weather information is rain, schedule data including spot information that is visited on a rainy day is extracted. Therefore, for example, it is possible to extract schedule data including spot information that can be enjoyed even in the rain (such as an indoor art museum in the case of rain). Note that the extraction unit 13 extracts schedule data in which the information indicating the weather (information related to the weather content) is not the same and is similar (for example, rain and snow that are considered to be difficult to perform outdoors). It is good as well. The extraction unit 13 reads the weather table 33 to extract the schedule data described above.

  Further, the extraction unit 13 includes information indicating the preference, which is schedule sub-data, among the schedule data including the spot information related to the reference spot information described above, and information indicating the preference input by the communication unit 15 and a predetermined value. Related schedule data may be extracted. Here, the information indicating the preference input by the communication unit 15 may be information indicating the preference transmitted from the client terminal 20 and received by the communication unit 15, or for each user related to the client terminal 20. The information indicating the preference transmitted from an external server (not shown) that manages the information indicating the preference and received by the communication unit 15 may be used. As described above, the information indicating the preference is schedule sub-data stored in the preference table 34, and is associated with the schedule data associated with the same schedule ID. For example, when the information indicating the preference associated with the schedule data is the same as the information indicating the preference input by the communication unit 15, the extraction unit 13 extracts the schedule data. Thereby, it is possible to extract schedule data of a user who has a preference similar to that of the user. For example, it is possible to extract schedule data including spot information related to a running course for a user who likes running. In addition, the extraction part 13 is good also as extracting the schedule data which the information which shows preference is not the same, but is similar (for example, baseball watching and soccer watching which are both sports watching). The extraction unit 13 extracts the schedule data described above by reading the preference table 34.

  Further, the extraction unit 13 includes, in the schedule data including the spot information related to the reference spot information described above, information indicating the moving unit that is the schedule sub-data and the information indicating the moving unit input by the communication unit 15 and a predetermined The schedule data having the relationship may be extracted. Here, the information indicating the moving means input by the communication unit 15 is information indicating the moving means transmitted from the client terminal 20 and received by the communication unit 15. As described above, the information indicating the moving means is the schedule sub-data stored in the moving means table 36, and is associated with the spot information included in the schedule data associated with the same schedule ID. For example, when the information indicating the moving means associated with the spot information included in the schedule data (information related to the contents of the moving means) is the same as the information indicating the moving means input by the communication unit 15, the extracting unit 13 Then, the schedule data is extracted. In addition, the extraction part 13 is good also as extracting the schedule data which the information which shows a moving means is not the same, but is similar (for example, a motor vehicle, a motorcycle, etc.). The extracting unit 13 extracts the schedule data described above by reading the moving means table 36.

  Further, the extracting unit 13 includes information indicating the organizer, which is the schedule sub-data, among the schedule data including the spot information related to the reference spot information described above, and information indicating the organizer input by the communication unit 15 and a predetermined value. The schedule data having the relationship may be extracted. Here, the information indicating the organizer input by the communication unit 15 is information indicating the organizer transmitted from the client terminal 20 and received by the communication unit 15. As described above, the information indicating the organizer is the schedule sub-data stored in the organizer table 35, and is associated with the schedule data associated with the same schedule ID. The extraction unit 13 includes, for example, at least one of information indicating the organizer associated with the schedule data, that is, the number of organizers, the relationship between the organizers, the average age of the organizers, or the gender of the organizer. The schedule data is extracted when the information is the same as the information indicating the organizer input by. In addition, the extraction part 13 is good also as extracting the schedule data which the information which shows organizer is not the same, and is similar (for example, the difference of the number of organizers is one person etc.). The extracting unit 13 extracts the schedule data described above by reading the organizer table 35.

Further, the extraction unit 13 extracts schedule data that is a predetermined condition in which information indicating the degree of congestion, which is schedule sub-data, is preset from the schedule data including the spot information related to the reference spot information described above. Also good. As described above, the information indicating the degree of congestion is schedule sub-data stored in the congestion degree table 37 and is associated with spot information included in schedule data associated with the same schedule ID. For example, the extraction unit 13 has a population density indicated by information indicating the degree of congestion associated with the spot information included in the schedule data (information indicating the degree of congestion) below a predetermined value (for example, 1000 people / km ² or less). In this case, the schedule data may be extracted. Further, the extraction unit 13 extracts the schedule data when the population density indicated by the information indicating the degree of congestion (information indicating the degree of the degree of congestion) is greater than or equal to a predetermined value (for example, 1000 persons / km ² or more). It is good as well. The extraction unit 13 reads the congestion degree table 37 to extract the schedule data described above.

  The grouping unit 14 is a grouping unit that groups (groups) the spot information included in the schedule data extracted by the extraction unit 13 based on a predetermined grouping rule. Specifically, when receiving the input of the schedule ID of the extracted schedule data from the extraction unit 13, the grouping unit 14 reads the schedule data table 32 of the schedule storage unit 17. Then, the grouping unit 14 acquires all spot information (POIID) included in the schedule data indicated by the schedule ID extracted by the extraction unit 13. Further, the grouping unit 14 reads the POI data table 31 of the POI storage unit 16 and acquires location information indicating the spot name, the spot category, and the spot position associated with the above-described POIID.

  The grouping unit 14 groups spot information based on a grouping rule corresponding to information indicating a spot category. Specifically, the grouping unit 14 groups spot information having the same spot category as the same group. For example, the grouping unit 14 sets spot information whose spot categories are both “accommodation” as the same group. The grouping unit 14 may also use the same group for spot information with similar spot categories (for example, “Izakaya” and “Restaurant”, which are both categories related to eating and drinking). The grouping unit 14 assigns a group ID that uniquely identifies the group to each of the grouped spot information, and inputs the group ID to the communication unit 15. That is, the information input to the communication unit 15 by the grouping unit 14 includes at least each spot information and a group ID associated with each spot information.

  Further, the grouping unit 14 groups the spot information based on the grouping rule corresponding to the location information indicating the spot position. Specifically, the grouping unit 14 groups spot information having a latitude and longitude difference indicating a spot location information within a predetermined threshold as the same group. For example, the grouping unit 14 selects, for example, one spot information having the smallest POIID value from the spot information in the same category, and displays location information indicating the position of the spot associated with the selected spot information. The latitude and longitude indicated are compared with the latitude and longitude indicating the location information indicating the position of the spot associated with each other spot information of the same category. Then, the grouping unit 14 sets other spot information in the same category in which the difference from the location information (latitude, longitude) associated with the selected spot information is within a predetermined threshold is the same as the selected spot information. Group as a group. In the spot information search function in the client terminal 20, the grouping unit 14 has the same group location information on the map display Ma displayed on the screen of the client terminal 20 by the map application activated on the client terminal 20. Information related to the grouping according to the location information is input to the communication unit 15 so as to be displayed within a range (for example, a circle or an ellipse) (see FIG. 5). Since the map display Ma displayed on the screen of the client terminal 20 has information on latitude and longitude, information related to grouping according to location information is transmitted as information on latitude and longitude via the communication unit 15. By transmitting to the client terminal 20, it is possible to display information relating to grouping in the map display Ma of the client terminal 20.

  The grouping unit 14 calculates the latitude and longitude that are the center of the group based on the latitude and longitude associated with the spot information in the same group. Further, the grouping unit 14 makes the circle so that the location information (latitude and longitude) of all spot information of the same group is contained in the circle when the latitude and longitude that are the center of the group are the center of the circle. Calculate the circumference. Then, the grouping unit 14 inputs the latitude and longitude of the center of the circle and the latitude and longitude related to the circumference (the line forming the circle) to the communication unit 15 as information associated with the group ID of the group. To do. Further, the grouping unit 14 sets the latitude and longitude of a certain piece of spot information as the latitude and longitude of the center of the circle, and the spot information of the same category in which the latitude and longitude are included in a circle with a predetermined radius (for example, 1 km). You may group as one group. In this case, the grouping unit 14 inputs the latitude and longitude related to the circumference (the line forming the circle) to the communication unit 15 as information associated with the group ID of the group. The grouping unit 14 calculates the latitude, longitude, and the like related to the circumference of each group. As a result, for example, when the circumference of another group related to the same category is displayed intersecting on the map application, the grouping unit 14 Two groups whose circumferences intersect may be integrated into one group. In this case, the latitude and longitude that is the center of the circle of the group after integration is calculated from the latitude and longitude of each spot information of the two groups before integration, and all the spot information of the two groups before integration is calculated. The circumference of the group after integration is calculated so that the location information (latitude, longitude) of the group is within the same circle.

  Further, the grouping unit 14 groups spot information based on a grouping rule corresponding to the number of spot information. Specifically, the grouping unit 14 groups spot information so that the number of spots included in one group is equal to or greater than a predetermined number or less than a predetermined number. For example, when performing grouping according to spot category or location information, the grouping unit 14 performs grouping so that the number of spots included in one group is equal to or greater than a predetermined number. The grouping unit 14 may perform grouping so that the number of spots included in one group is less than a predetermined number when performing grouping according to spot category or location information.

  The grouping unit 14 changes predetermined conditions for the extraction unit 13 according to the number of spot information included in one group obtained by grouping the spot information included in the behavior data extracted by the extraction unit 13. It may be instructed to perform extraction again. In other words, the grouping unit 14 extracts the extraction unit 13 so as to change the extraction condition (filtering condition) step by step so that the number of spot information included in one group falls within a desired range. You may give instructions.

  For example, the grouping unit 14 may change the filtering condition by the extraction unit 13 as follows so that the number of spots included in one group is less than a predetermined number. That is, the grouping unit 14 sets in advance the order of filtering requested to the extraction unit 13 so that the extraction unit 13 can perform stepwise filtering. That is, in the state where all the spot information included in the schedule data including the spot information related to the reference spot information is extracted, if the number of spots included in one group is not less than a predetermined number, In addition, it is set that filtering is performed using information indicating the time, and then filtering is performed using information indicating the degree of congestion. In this case, in a state where all the spot information included in the schedule data including the spot information related to the reference spot information is extracted, when the number of spots included in one group is not less than a predetermined number, The grouping unit 14 makes another extraction request to the extraction unit 13. Specifically, the grouping unit 14 requests the extraction unit 13 to perform filtering using information indicating time such as a period or season. When the number of spots included in one group is not less than a predetermined number even when filtering is performed using information indicating the time, the grouping unit 14 determines the degree of congestion with respect to the extraction unit 13. Request filtering with the information shown. In the example described above, only two filtering contents are set in advance, but three or more filtering contents may be set in advance so that more filtering can be performed in stages.

  In addition, the grouping unit 14 relates to spots that are included in the extracted schedule data among the spot information included in the schedule data extracted by the extracting unit 13 and have a predetermined number or more of preset spots. The above grouping process may be performed using only the. For example, by filtering according to the number of usages of the user from the plan log for the accommodation spots, it can be confirmed whether the accommodation spots are more useful.

  Further, the grouping unit 14 determines whether or not each spot information included in one grouped group satisfies a preset condition, and sets the spot information that satisfies the preset condition as other spot information. It may be distinguished from information. In this case, the grouping unit 14 inputs, to the communication unit 15, information specifying that the spot information is distinguished from the other spot information. The preset condition is, for example, a condition related to extraction by the extraction unit 13. Specifically, for example, when the extraction unit 13 is extracting schedule data including spot information whose weather information satisfies a predetermined condition (all spot information included in the schedule data), a group The conversion unit 14 determines that the spot information satisfying a predetermined condition of the information indicating the weather among all the spot information satisfies a condition related to extraction by the extraction unit 13 (that is, a preset condition). Also good. When the extraction unit 13 is extracting schedule data including spot information in which weather information satisfies a predetermined condition (all spot information included in the schedule data), the extracted all spot information includes In addition to the spot information where the information indicating the weather satisfies the predetermined condition, the extracted schedule data (that is, the spots where the information indicating the weather satisfies the predetermined condition) although the information indicating the weather does not satisfy the predetermined condition. The extracted spot information is also included because it is included in the schedule data including at least one piece of information. That is, the extracted all spot information includes both spot information in which information indicating weather satisfies a predetermined condition and spot information in which information indicating weather does not satisfy a predetermined condition. Of all the spot information, the grouping unit 14 determines that the spot information satisfying a predetermined condition satisfies the condition related to extraction by the extraction unit 13 (that is, a preset condition).

  In addition, for example, when the extraction unit 13 extracts schedule data including spot information in which information indicating the moving means satisfies a predetermined condition (all spot information included in the schedule data), the weather described above In the extracted all spot information, the extracted spot information includes spot information that satisfies the predetermined condition and information that indicates the moving means and spot information that does not satisfy the predetermined condition. Both are included. In this case, the grouping unit 14 uses the conditions related to extraction by the extraction unit 13 (that is, preset conditions) for the spot information in which the information indicating the moving means satisfies the predetermined condition among all the spot information. You may judge that it satisfies. Further, for example, when the extraction unit 13 extracts schedule data including spot information in which information indicating the degree of congestion satisfies a predetermined condition, the extraction unit 13 relates to the information indicating the weather and the information indicating the moving unit. Similar to the extraction, all extracted spot information includes both spot information in which the information indicating the degree of congestion satisfies a predetermined condition and spot information in which the information indicating the degree of congestion does not satisfy a predetermined condition. Yes. In this case, the grouping unit 14 uses the conditions related to extraction by the extraction unit 13 (that is, preset conditions) for spot information in which the information indicating the degree of congestion satisfies the predetermined condition among all the spot information. You may judge that it satisfies.

  Further, the grouping unit 14 determines whether or not the spot information included in the schedule data extracted by the extraction unit 13 satisfies a plurality of preset conditions, and the number that satisfies the condition (the number that satisfies the condition) ) May prioritize spot information. For example, the spot information may be prioritized so that spot information that satisfies more conditions has a higher priority. More specifically, the information indicating the weather and the information indicating the moving means satisfy the predetermined condition rather than the spot information (spot information satisfying one condition) in which only the information indicating the weather satisfies the predetermined condition (spot information satisfying one condition). The priority of spot information that satisfies two conditions is increased. When the spot information is prioritized, the grouping unit 14 inputs information indicating the priority for each spot information to the communication unit 15.

  The communication unit 15 is an input unit that inputs information transmitted from the client terminal 20. Specifically, the communication unit 15 inputs information related to the spot information search function of the client terminal 20 and information related to the schedule registration function of the client terminal 20. That is, the communication unit 15 receives reference spot information related to the spot information search function of the client terminal 20 and inputs the reference spot information to the extraction unit 13. When the communication unit 15 receives at least one of information indicating the weather, information indicating the preference, information indicating the moving means, or information indicating the organizer in addition to the reference spot information from the client terminal 20, The information is input to the extraction unit 13. The communication unit 15 receives schedule information related to the schedule registration function of the client terminal 20 and inputs the schedule information to the schedule storage unit 12.

  The communication unit 15 is an output unit that transmits (outputs) information based on the grouping by the grouping unit 14 to the client terminal 20. Information based on grouping by the grouping unit 14 is spot information (POIID) and a group ID associated with the spot information. Further, when displaying the same group range (for example, a circle or an ellipse) on the map display Ma of the map application started on the client terminal 20, information associated with the group ID (group information) Information on the center of the circle and the latitude and longitude of the circle).

  Moreover, when the information which specifies that it is the spot information distinguished from the grouping part 14 is input from the grouping part 14, the communication part 15 uses the spot information distinguished by the grouping part 14 as other spot information. And output separately. Specifically, for example, on the map display Ma of the map application started on the client terminal 20, the grouping unit 14 distinguishes the spot information so that only the distinguished spot information can be displayed in a different color. The spot information is output separately from the other spot information.

  Further, when the information indicating the priority of the spot information is input from the grouping unit 14, the communication unit 15 outputs the information indicating the priority in association with the spot information. The client terminal 20 performs display output according to the priority. For example, when the grouping area indicating the range of the same group is pressed on the client terminal 20, detailed information about the spot specified by the spot information included in the group is displayed. This detailed information is, for example, information associated with the spot information, and may be any information as long as it is information related to the spot such as the name, location, and business hours of the spot (the information includes, for example, It is transmitted from the server 10 in association with the spot information, or held in the client terminal 20 in advance). When displaying the detailed information, it may be displayed in a list format from the top in accordance with the priority associated with the spot information (for example, the higher the priority, the higher the display). Or you may display only the spot which concerns on the spot information of the priority more than the preset priority.

  Next, the hardware configuration of the server 10 included in the spot related information presentation system 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a hardware configuration of the server 10 included in the spot related information presentation system according to the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 4, the server 10 includes a CPU 101, a RAM 102 and a ROM 103 that are main storage devices, a communication module 104 for performing communication, and a computer including hardware such as an auxiliary storage device 105 such as a hard disk. Composed. Each of the above-described functions is exhibited when these components are operated by a program or the like.

  Subsequently, the processing flow of the spot related information presentation system 1 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a processing flow of the spot related information presentation system according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  First, the reference spot information transmitted by the client terminal 20 is received by the communication unit 15 and input to the server 10 (more specifically, the extraction unit 13) (step S1: input step). The information received and input by the communication unit 15 includes information indicating the weather related to the reference spot information (for example, information related to the contents of the weather) and the organizer when visiting the reference spot information in addition to the reference spot information. Information (for example, the number of participants), information (for example, information related to the contents of the moving means) indicating moving means (for example, “train”) when visiting the reference spot information, information indicating user preferences of the client terminal 20, and the like It may be.

  Subsequently, the extraction unit 13 extracts schedule data including the reference spot information (step S2: extraction step). In S2, the information indicating the weather related to the reference spot information (for example, information related to the weather content), the information indicating the organizer when visiting the reference spot information (for example, the number of participants), and the reference spot information are visited. The schedule data may be extracted by further filtering the information indicating the moving means (eg, “train”) at the time (for example, information relating to the contents of the moving means), the information indicating the user's preference of the client terminal 20, and the like. . The schedule ID of the schedule data extracted by the extraction unit 13 is input to the grouping unit 14.

  Subsequently, the spot information included in the extracted schedule data is grouped based on a predetermined grouping rule by the grouping unit 14 (step S3, grouping step). Specifically, the grouping unit 14 performs grouping based on information indicating the category of the content of the spot associated with the spot information and information indicating the position associated with the spot information. The grouping unit 14 inputs the grouped spot information (POIID) and the group ID associated with the spot information to the communication unit 15 as information based on the grouping. When the same group range (for example, a circle or an ellipse) is displayed on the map display Ma of the map application activated on the client terminal 20, the grouping unit 14 uses the group ID as information based on the grouping. Information (information relating to the center of the circle of the group and the latitude and longitude of the circumference) is input to the communication unit 15.

  Subsequently, information based on the grouping is output by the communication unit 15 (step S4, output step). Information based on the output grouping is input to the client terminal 20. In this case, as shown in FIG. 5, a map display Ma is displayed on the screen of the client terminal 20, and the map display Ma includes reference spot information Bs and a group of spot information. Spot information groups Sg1 to Sg7 are superimposed and displayed. In this state, the user can examine and determine a visit destination (spot visited with a spot related to the reference spot information) from the spot information included in the spot information group Sg1 to Sg7. When the client terminal 20 determines a spot to be visited together with the spot related to the reference spot information (selected by the user), the contents such as the visit time related to the spot are registered and registered as schedule information. The schedule information registered in the client terminal 20 is received by the communication unit 15, is input to the schedule storage unit 12, and is registered as schedule data (step S5).

  Next, the effect of the spot related information presentation system 1 according to the present embodiment will be described.

  According to the spot related information presentation system 1 described above, schedule data including spot information related to input reference spot information is extracted, and spot information included in the schedule data is grouped. Since the spot information to be grouped is extracted from the action data including the spot information related to the reference spot information, the degree of association with the reference spot information is high (there is a high possibility of being visited together with the reference spot information) Spot information can be extracted. In addition, spot information that is highly related to the reference spot information is not output in units of spots, but is grouped and output based on a predetermined grouping rule, so the user covers the spot information related to the reference spot. Can be grasped. As mentioned above, according to the spot related information presentation system 1 which concerns on this embodiment, the information of the spot relevant to the specific spot which a user wants to visit can be grasped | ascertained appropriately.

  In addition, the spot information of the schedule data stored in the storage unit 11 is associated with information indicating the category of the spot content, and the grouping unit 14 is based on the grouping rule corresponding to the information indicating the category. By performing grouping, the user can comprehensively grasp spots of the same category.

  In addition, the spot information of the schedule data stored in the storage unit 11 is associated with location information indicating a position, and the grouping unit 14 performs grouping based on a grouping rule corresponding to the location information indicating the position. By performing the conversion, the user can comprehensively grasp the spots close to each area. In addition, by grouping according to the information indicating the category and the location information indicating the position, for example, the use area for each category around the reference spot selected by the user (for example, accommodation area, sightseeing area, shopping area, Eating and drinking areas, etc.) can be presented, and an overview of the city around the spot (in general area) can be grasped. Thus, the user can confirm not only the value for one spot but also the value of the use area around the reference spot at the same time.

  Further, the grouping unit 14 performs grouping based on a grouping rule corresponding to the number of spot information. By grouping according to the number of spot information, the user can more appropriately grasp the spot information related to the specific spot that he / she wants to visit. That is, for example, when the number of pieces of spot information is equal to or greater than a predetermined number, only spot information related to a group including a certain number of pieces of spot information is presented. For this reason, the user can appropriately grasp the spot information related to the central group (the number of spot information is large) among spots related to a specific spot to be visited. In addition, for example, when the number of spot information is less than or equal to a predetermined number, grouping can reduce the number of spot information included in one group, so that the user can grasp the spot information included in one group. Becomes easier.

  Further, the grouping unit 14 sets an extraction condition for the extraction unit 13 according to the number of spot information included in one group obtained by grouping the spot information included in the schedule data extracted by the extraction unit 13. Change and instruct to extract again. In this way, the grouping unit 14 is included in one group by instructing the extraction unit 13 to change the extraction condition (filtering condition) stepwise in accordance with the number of spot information included in one group. The number of spot information to be displayed can be made appropriate.

  The storage unit 11 stores a plurality of schedule data. The schedule data stored in the storage unit 11 includes information indicating time, and the extraction unit 13 stores spot information related to the reference spot information. From the included schedule data, action data whose time information is within a predetermined period is extracted. By extracting schedule data whose information indicating time is within a predetermined period, appropriate schedule data can be extracted in consideration of conditions such as trends and special periods.

  The storage unit 11 stores a plurality of schedule data, and the schedule data stored in the storage unit 11 includes information indicating weather, information indicating preferences, information indicating moving means, or information indicating organizers. At least one is included, and the communication unit 15 inputs at least one of information indicating the weather, information indicating the preference, information indicating the transportation means, or information indicating the organizer in addition to the reference spot information, The extraction unit 13 extracts schedule data in which the information indicating the weather has the predetermined relationship with the information indicating the weather input by the communication unit 15 from the schedule data including the spot information related to the reference spot information. Among the schedule data including spot information related to the spot information, the information indicating the preference is the information indicating the preference input by the communication unit 15 and the predetermined relationship. In the schedule data including the spot information related to the reference spot information, the information indicating the moving means is the action data having a predetermined relationship with the information indicating the moving means input by the communication unit 15. In the schedule data including the spot information related to the reference spot information, the schedule data in which the information indicating the organizer has a predetermined relationship with the information indicating the organizer input by the communication unit 15 is extracted. According to this, it is possible to extract schedule data that is more in line with user needs (high satisfaction). That is, since the information indicating the weather is extracted only in the schedule data having a predetermined relationship with the information indicating the input weather, for example, the schedule data including the information indicating the same weather as the information indicating the input weather is included. Can be extracted. In addition, since the information indicating the preference is extracted only in the schedule data having a predetermined relationship with the information indicating the input preference, for example, schedule data including information indicating the same preference as the information indicating the input preference Can be extracted. In addition, since the information indicating the moving means is extracted only schedule data having a predetermined relationship with the information indicating the input moving means, for example, the information indicating the same moving means as the information indicating the input moving means is included. Schedule data can be extracted. In addition, since the information indicating the organizer is extracted only schedule data having a predetermined relationship with the information indicating the input organizer, for example, the information indicating the same organizer as the information indicating the input organizer is included. Schedule data can be extracted.

  The storage unit 11 stores a plurality of schedule data. The schedule data stored in the storage unit 11 includes information indicating the degree of congestion. The extraction unit 13 performs spot information related to the reference spot information. Is extracted from the schedule data including the information indicating the degree of congestion as a predetermined condition. By extracting schedule data whose degree of congestion information is a predetermined condition, schedule data containing spot information that many people visit is extracted, and on the contrary, spot information that people do not visit much It is possible to extract the schedule data including the schedule data, and it is possible to extract the schedule data that meets the user's needs (higher satisfaction).

  Further, the grouping unit 14 determines whether or not each spot information included in one grouped group satisfies a preset condition (for example, a condition related to extraction by the extraction unit 13), and the preset information is set in advance. The spot information satisfying the above condition is distinguished from other spot information, and the communication unit 15 outputs the spot information distinguished by the grouping unit 14 separately from the other spot information. Of the spot information within one group, spot information that satisfies a preset condition is output separately from the other spot information, so that spot information more suitable for the user's purpose / intention / situation can be obtained. Can be output separately from others.

  The preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described above, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. That is, although schedule data has been described as an example of behavior data, behavior data is not limited to schedule data. In addition, the behavior data is data indicating any one of the past, present, and future of the user, and it is necessary to include at least spot information indicating a place (spot) related to the behavior. May not include information about time.

  Moreover, the information based on grouping transmitted from the communication unit 15 to the client terminal 20 does not necessarily include spot information. For example, the number of spot information included in the group as a result of grouping for each category It may be information indicating.

  Further, the spot information has been described as being POIID, but is not limited thereto. That is, the spot information may be any information that indicates a spot and can uniquely identify the spot. For example, information that simply indicates the name of the spot may be used as the spot information.

  In addition, when grouping unit 14 performs grouping, the scheduled visitor to the spot related to the included spot information (extracted) is extracted at the time (start time and end time) scheduled to visit the spot related to the reference spot information. For a group (for example, a group having more than a preset threshold value) that is included in the schedule data and has a large number of spots included in the group, the range of the same group displayed on the client terminal 20 ( For example, information related to grouping may be generated so that a display of a circle or an ellipse is different from other displays (for example, a color different from normal). Thereby, the user using the client terminal 20 can grasp at a glance a group having many visitors.
