The control unit 101 of the information processing device 100 stores data of the set venue layout in the storage unit 102.

[0063] The adjustment unit 111 can manually fine-tune the final venue layout, for example by removing chairs 13 if wheelchair attendees are expected. The adjustment unit 111 can select and delete the table or chair 13 by clicking or double-clicking it.

[0064] The data of the venue layout set in the storage unit of the information processing terminal device 120 is saved in a format such as PDF or JPEG. It is also possible to create a venue layout by reading venue data in xlsx format. It is possible to generate an appropriate venue layout by collecting a large amount of data on set venue layouts, inputting the venue data, and performing machine learning using deep learning etc. The training data in this case is the information on the set venue layout.

[0065] FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing the operation when existing data exists. When venue layout data is stored in the memory unit 102 of the information processing device 100, the venue layout data can be read out by launching a program (application) according to the present disclosure that is pre-installed in the information processing terminal device 120. The control unit 101 of the information processing device 100 controls the display unit of the information processing terminal device 120 to display whether or not there is existing data (S200).

[0066] If there is no existing data, input processing is performed according to FIG. 14 (S202). If there is existing data, the control unit 101 requests the user to specify a file name (S206). The control unit 101 issues a command to call up the specified file from the storage unit 102, reads the data, and controls the display unit of the information processing terminal device 120 to display it. By modifying a previously created venue layout, the user can avoid the trouble of creating a new one (S208).

[0067] In either case, the control unit 101 outputs the final hall layout to the display unit of the information processing terminal device 120 (S204). Any necessary corrections are made, and the hall layout, maximum capacity, and maximum number of tables (15) are displayed.

[0068] [2. Effects] According to the information processing device 100 of an embodiment of the present disclosure, it is possible to automatically create layout information for the tables 12 and chairs 13 to be arranged in the venue 10, and to calculate the maximum number of people and the maximum number of tables 15.
