Abstract

Provided are a server device, an information providing program, an information providing method, and an information providing system, capable of effectively acquiring information regarding facilities, etc., which are located in an approximate direction from the current position of a user, even in the case that a destination is not determined. When the server device receives, from the portable terminal device, position information, direction information, and an information acquisition request which have been acquired by the portable terminal device, the server device determines an information extraction range on the basis of the position information and the direction information. Then, the server device extracts provided information corresponding to a position located within the determined information extraction range, and provides the provided information to the portable terminal device.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to technical fields such as an information providing system including a mobile terminal device and a server device to which the mobile terminal device can access via communication means. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, a technique is known in which a terminal used by a user acquires useful information such as electronic coupons of peripheral facilities based on location information. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a technique for acquiring an electronic coupon of a facility that is actually the closest based on the user's current location. In addition, Patent Document 2 discloses a technique for acquiring electronic coupons included in a circle based on the user's current position. Furthermore, Patent Document 3 discloses a technique in which a navigation body embedded in a vehicle acquires an electronic coupon of a souvenir shop located near a destination or a route.

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0009] However, in the conventional technologies disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2, since the acquisition range of information such as electronic coupons is the range in all directions based on the user's current location, the user may acquire unnecessary information that he does not want. , thus troublesome

[0010] In addition, in the prior art described above, for example, when a user located in a certain store wants to move to another store that has not been determined, in order to search for the other store, it is necessary to display a map on the terminal or the like for confirmation. distance between shops, thus troublesome

[0011] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned prior art, for example, when the user searches for a store that exists in the direction and approximate distance from the current position, it is difficult to efficiently acquire the information of the store.

[0012] On the other hand, in the prior art disclosed in Patent Document 3, although the acquisition range of information can be limited to stores existing around the destination or the route, when the destination is not determined, it is difficult to efficiently Acquire store information
