Information notification system and information notification method

Abstract

The present invention provides a notification user state management apparatus, notification control apparatus, information notification apparatus, information notification system, and information notification method capable of reducing discomfort and burden and enabling users to recognize information. The information notification system includes a user internal state estimating device for estimating the internal state of the user based on the observable state element, and a user for estimating the utility to the user who receives the information when the information is notified based on the internal user state. A notification user state management device for notifying a utility estimation device, and a notification control device for determining whether or not to notify information based on the utility, and a notification execution device based on the determined notification information. In addition, by judging whether or not to re-notify the notified information based on the estimation result of the user's awareness of the information, it is not necessary to use a clear user response such as the receipt of the information, but by estimating whether the information has been received or not, it is judged that the information has not been received. In this case, the notified information is notified again, so that it is possible to improve the possibility that the user recognizes the information.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an information notification system and an information notification method, and more particularly to an information notification system and an information notification method that perform control related to information notification and re-notify information that fails to be recognized among information presented to a user. Background technique [0002] Currently, various information reporting devices such as personal computers (hereinafter abbreviated as PCs), PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants), portable terminals such as mobile phones, televisions, radios, and car navigation systems are used. Among them, many methods of controlling information notification according to the kind of information, user's actions, surrounding conditions, and the like have been proposed. [0003] For example, in a certain information notification device, there are means for adding priority to information and means for judging the importance a...

Problems solved by technology

However, they do not take into account the dynamic and uncertainly changing elements of human internal state, and the control rules based on these elements are static and inflexible

[0018] In addition, the information provision technology based on the surroundings has the following problem: the information notification in the state where the user is sitting in front of the personal computer is assumed, and the information notification that considers the dynamically changing state of the user's surroundings or the user itself has not been considered.

[0020] In addition, there is a problem that there is no research on notification of information to the user in an environment where the surrounding conditions change dynamically, such as with a portable display terminal.

Therefore, since the information that has not been received will not be displayed for the second time, the user will not be able to recognize the information in the future, which will bring disadvantages to the user or the informer.
