[0011] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of the hardware configuration of a tourist information providing system 1. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 1, a tourist information system 1 includes a tourist information providing device 2 and a plurality of tablet terminals 40, which are connected to each other via the Internet 7. The tourist information providing device 2 is a computer terminal that provides content files including tourist information, selects a content file according to the position of the tablet terminal 40 and transmits the selected content file to the tablet terminal 40. The tablet terminal 40 is a computer terminal installed in a tourist bus, which transmits position information such as GPS to the tourist information providing device 2 and outputs a content file (tourist information) received from the tourist information providing device 2.

[0012] FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of the hardware configuration of the tourist information providing device 2. As shown in FIG. 2, the tourist information providing device 2 has a CPU 200, a memory 202, a HDD 204, a network interface 206 (network IF 206), a display device 208, and an input device 210, and these components are connected to each other via a bus 212. The CPU 200 is, for example, a central processing unit. The memory 202 is, for example, a volatile memory, and functions as a main storage device. The HDD 204 is, for example, a hard disk drive device, and serves as a non-volatile storage device for storing computer programs (for example, the server program 3 in FIG. 3) and other data files (such as content files). The network IF 206 is an interface for wired or wireless communication. The display device 208 is, for example, a liquid crystal display. The input device 210 is, for example, a keyboard and a mouse.

[0013] FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of the functional configuration of the tourist information providing device 2. As shown in FIG. 3, the tourist information providing device 2 has a server program 3 installed therein, and also has a file database 372 (file DB 372) configured therein. The server program 3 includes a position information acquisition unit 300, a lane determination unit 310, a speed identification unit 320, an information selection unit 330, and an information output unit 340. In the server program 3, the position information acquisition unit 300 acquires position information of vehicles traveling on roads. In this example, the position information acquisition unit 300 acquires position information of the tablet terminal 40 from the tablet terminal 40 installed on a tourist bus.

[0014] The lane determination unit 310 determines the lane in which the tourist bus (tablet terminal 40) is located. The lane determination unit 310 in this example determines whether the tourist bus (tablet terminal 40) is on the outbound or return journey based on the position information of the tourist bus (tablet terminal 40). The lane determination unit 310 may also determine whether the lane in which the tourist bus (tablet terminal 40) is located is the right lane or the left lane based on the position information of the tourist bus (tablet terminal 40).

[0015] The speed identification unit 320 identifies the moving speed of the vehicle. The speed identification unit 320 in this example identifies the moving speed of the tourist bus based on the position information of the tourist bus (tablet terminal 40) at each time. The speed identification unit 320 may obtain the speed of the tourist bus from the tablet terminal 40 or the tourist bus.

[0016] The information selection unit 330 selects tourist information from the content files (tourist information) stored in the file DB 372 according to the location information acquired by the location information acquisition unit 300, and selects different tourist information for the outbound and return journeys when the tourist bus is on the same road. The information selection unit 330 of this example selects a content file from the content files (tourist information) in the file DB 372 illustrated in Fig. 4 based on the location information acquired by the location information acquisition unit 300, the determination result by the lane determination unit 310, and the travel speed identified by the speed identification unit 320, thereby selecting different tourist information for the outbound and return journeys when the tourist bus is on the same road as illustrated in Fig. 5.

[0017] The information output unit 340 outputs the tourist information selected by the information selection unit 330. The information output unit 340 in this example returns the content file selected by the information selection unit 330 to the tablet terminal 40, causing the tablet terminal 40 to output a video including the tourist information.

[0018] FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of information stored in the file DB 372. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, content data including tourist information is stored in file DB372 in association with a location range, a speed range, and a lane. This enables the delivery of content corresponding to the location, travel speed, and lane of the tourist bus. For example, content with a shorter playback time is associated with a range of faster travel speeds. As shown in FIG. 5, even if the location on the road is the same (a location belonging to a location range), content including tourist information of tourist spots on the same lane side is selected and delivered, making it possible to provide more appropriate tourist information. Note that tourist information for the opposite lane is delivered on the return trip (homeward trip).

[0019] As described above, according to the tourist information providing system 1 in this embodiment, content data (tourist information) selected according to the position, travel speed, and lane of the tourist bus is provided, making it possible to distribute more appropriate tourist information.

[0020] [Variations] In the above embodiment, the tourist information providing system 1 including the tourist information providing device 2 and the tablet terminal 40 has been described as a specific example, but the functions of the tourist information providing system 1 may be realized by only the tablet terminal 40, as illustrated in Fig. 6. That is, the tablet terminal 40 includes a location information acquiring unit 300, a lane determining unit 310, a speed identifying unit 320, an information selecting unit 330, an information output unit 340, and a file DB 372, which are similar to those described above, and content data is selected based on the location information (GPS data, etc.) of the tablet terminal 40 and is output on the tablet terminal 40.
