Benefits of technology
The objective of this patent is to provide an information providing system that can provide useful information to users in a reasonable way and has high usability.
Problems solved by technology
In a conventional information providing system, although the facility-event information corresponding to a facility or an event located near the present position of a vehicle can be provided to a user, it is doubtful whether this facility-event information is useful to the user because this facility-event information is merely extracted according to a distance-based search scope.

An information providing system is disclosed. The system includes a management apparatus having a database storing facility-event information of facilities or events, and a portable apparatus communicatable with the management apparatus. The portable apparatus sets each place, at which a movement stop time exceeds a prescribed staying time, as a stay place. The management apparatus estimates that a living area of a user of the portable apparatus is a collective area covering all of the stay places of the user. The management apparatus sets the collective area as the search scope, extracts the facility-event information matching the search scope from the database, and transmits the extracted facility-event information to the portable apparatus.
Description
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application is a divisional of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13 / 199,280 filed on Aug. 24, 2011.
