[0031] Further, the location information acquisition unit 102 may store the acquired location information in the storage unit 101 in association with the user information.

[0032] The browsing information acquisition unit 103 acquires browsing information regarding the user's browsing of facility information. Specifically, the browsing information acquisition unit 103 may acquire the browsing information in cooperation with a web browser or an application for browsing facility information. The browsing information may include at least one of (1) information indicating the facility information browsed by the user (hereinafter referred to as "browsing history information"), (2) information indicating the status regarding the user's browsing of the facility information (hereinafter referred to as "status information"), and (3) information regarding the operations performed using the terminal by the user who browsed the facility information (hereinafter referred to as "operation information").

[0033] (1) The browsing history information may include at least one of information indicating at least one of the date and time when the user browsed the facility information (hereinafter referred to as "date and time information"), and information indicating the browsing period of the facility information (hereinafter referred to as "browsing period information"). Note that the browsing date and time information may be, for example, the date and time when the user started browsing the facility information, but is not limited thereto, and may be the date and time when the browsing ended, or both the date and time when the browsing started and the date and time when the browsing ended.

[0034] (2) The status information may indicate whether the user is browsing the facility information of a specific facility, or may indicate whether the user is starting an application for browsing the facility information. Note that starting the application can also be described as browsing the facility information. For example, the status information may include the facility information (e.g., facility ID) browsed by the user and information indicating the browsing status of the user with respect to the facility information. The browsing information acquisition unit 103 may store the status information in the storage unit 101 in association with the user information.

[0035] (3) The operation information may indicate, for example, whether an operation (e.g., reservation) regarding a specific facility indicated by the facility information has been performed by the user who browsed the facility information.

[0036] FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of browsing information according to the present embodiment. In FIG. 5, the browsing information includes (1) browsing history information, (2) status information, and (3) operation information, but it may include at least one of these, and may also include information related to browsing (not shown). As shown in FIG. 5, the browsing information acquisition unit 103 may store the browsing information in the storage unit 101 in association with user information (for example, user ID, etc.) and facility information (for example, facility ID, etc.). Note that the browsing information does not have to be managed in the manner shown in FIG. 5 (the manner of collectively storing the browsing information of a plurality of users in the storage unit 101). For example, on the terminal 20 side, only the browsing information of the user of that terminal may be held and managed. In this case, the browsing information acquisition unit 103 may acquire the browsing information of the user to be judged by the judgment unit 104 from the terminal 20 and store it in the storage unit 101 in association with the user information and the facility information, or may not store it.

[0037] For example, in FIG. 5, the browsing time of facility #1 by user "A" is 3 minutes (3m), the browsing of the facility information of the said facility #1 has ended, and it is shown that a reservation operation was performed after the browsing of the facility information of the said facility #1 by the said user "A". Also, it is shown that the browsing of the facility information of facility #3 by user "B" started at the browsing date and time "YYYY / MM / DD HH / MM / SS" and is in progress. Note that FIG. 5 is merely an example, and the user information, facility information, and browsing information are not limited to those shown.

[0038] The judgment unit 104 judges whether or not the user has used a specific facility based on the browsing information acquired by the browsing information acquisition unit 103 and the position information acquired by the position information acquisition unit 102. Specifically, the judgment unit 104 judges that the user has used the specific facility indicated by the facility information browsed by the user when a predetermined condition based on the browsing information acquired by the browsing information acquisition unit 103 is satisfied and the position indicated by the position information acquired by the position information acquisition unit 102 is within a predetermined range from the location indicated by the location information stored in the storage unit 101. The said predetermined range is, for example, within 30 m from the said location, but is not limited thereto.

[0039] Here, the predetermined condition based on the browsing information may be satisfied, for example, in at least one of the following cases. (i) The browsing information includes browsing history information indicating the facility information browsed by the user, and the facility information of the specific facility is included in the predetermined number of facility information browsed most recently indicated by the browsing history information. (ii) The browsing information includes status information indicating the status regarding the browsing of the facility information by the user, and the status indicated by the status information is the browsing status. (iii) The browsing information includes operation information regarding the operation performed by the user using the terminal 20 when browsing the facility information, and the operation information indicates that a specific operation (for example, a reservation operation) has been performed by the user.

[0040] Note that the satisfaction of condition (i) means that the facility information of the specific facility is included in the predetermined number of facility information browsed most recently indicated by the browsing history information. For example, even if the user has browsed the facility information of facility X, if the facility information of facility X is not included in the predetermined number of facility information browsed most recently (for example, within a predetermined time or a predetermined number of browsing times), condition (i) is not satisfied. When condition (i) is satisfied (that is, the facility information of the specific facility is included in the predetermined number of facility information browsed most recently indicated by the browsing history information), and there are a plurality of facilities where the position indicated by the position information is within a predetermined range from the location indicated by the location information, the determination unit 104 may determine that the user has used one of the plurality of facilities where the facility information was browsed most recently.

[0041] When the determination unit 104 determines that the user has used a specific facility, the output unit 105 may output information (hereinafter referred to as "input promotion information") for prompting the user to input information regarding the evaluation of the specific facility (hereinafter referred to as "evaluation information").

[0042] FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen of input promotion information according to the present embodiment. The input promotion information shown in FIG. 6 is transmitted from the output unit 105 to the terminal 20 via the transmission unit of the information processing apparatus 10 and is displayed on the display unit of the terminal 20. As shown in FIG. 6, the input promotion information may prompt the input of evaluation information about a specific facility (here, the facility "aaaa") determined by the determination unit 104 to have been used by the user. Based on the input promotion information, the input of evaluation information from the user is received via the input unit of the terminal 20. The evaluation information is transmitted from the terminal 20 via the transmission unit and is received via the reception unit of the information processing apparatus 10.

[0043] Further, the output unit 105 may output the browsing history information stored in the storage unit 101 in association with the user information to the user indicated by the user information. Further, the output unit 105 may output the facility information associated with the browsing history information. For example, the output unit 105 may transmit at least one of the browsing history information and the facility information to the terminal 20 via the transmission unit of the information processing apparatus 10. Note that the information output from the output unit 105 to the terminal 20 is not limited to these, and may include the evaluation information and the recommendation information described above.

[0044] FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen of browsing history information according to the present embodiment. The browsing history information shown in FIG. 7 is transmitted from the output unit 105 to the terminal 20 via the transmission unit of the information processing apparatus 10 and is displayed on the display unit of the terminal 20. For example, in FIG. 7, the output unit 105 acquires from the storage unit 101 the browsing history information indicating the facility information of the two most recently browsed facilities "aaaa" and "bbbb" by the user "A" and outputs it to the user "A". As shown in FIG. 7, the browsing history information may include browsing date and time information indicating the browsing dates of the facility information of the facilities "aaaa" and "bbbb". Further, the evaluation information "3.63" and "3.29" of the facilities "aaaa" and "bbbb" respectively may be displayed. In this way, the display unit of the terminal 20 may display the browsing history information and the facility information of the facilities "aaaa" and "bbbb" indicated by the browsing history information.

[0045] Further, the output unit 105 may output information regarding a list of images shown in the image data including the imaging position information acquired from the terminal 20 by the position information acquisition unit 102 (hereinafter referred to as "image list information") to the user of the terminal 20.

[0046] FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen of the image list information according to the present embodiment. The image list information shown in FIG. 8 is transmitted from the output unit 105 of the information processing apparatus 10 to the terminal 20 via the transmission unit and is displayed on the display unit of the terminal 20. For example, the images shown in FIG. 8 may be images among the images captured by the terminal 20 of the user "A" whose imaging date and time are within a predetermined period, or may be a predetermined number of images captured most recently, or may be images registered in an application for browsing facility information installed in the terminal 20. The image list information may include image data acquired in advance from the terminal 20, or may refer to image data held in the terminal 20. The imaging position information may be included as Exif information in the image data.

[0047] (Operation) Next, the operation of the information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment will be described. Note that FIGS. 9 and 10 are merely examples, and the order of some steps may be changed, some steps may not be performed, or steps not shown may be added.

[0048] <Operation based on imaging position information> FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of an operation based on the imaging position information according to the present embodiment. Note that the order of steps S101 and S102 in FIG. 9 may be swapped. Similarly, the order of steps S103 and S104 may also be swapped. Further, this operation may be periodically executed at a predetermined time interval, or may be executed aperiodically, for example, at the time of starting an application.

[0049] In step S101, the information processing apparatus 10 acquires the imaging position information included in the image data of the image captured by the terminal 20. Specifically, the information processing apparatus 10 may receive the image data from the terminal 20 and extract the imaging position information from the image data. Alternatively, the information processing apparatus 10 may receive only the imaging position information from the terminal 20.

[0050] In step S102, the information processing apparatus 10 acquires browsing information. As described above, the browsing information may include at least one of (1) browsing history information, (2) status information, and (3) operation information.

[0051] In step S103, the information processing apparatus 10 determines whether a predetermined condition based on the browsing information acquired in step S102 is satisfied. Specifically, the information processing apparatus 10 determines that the predetermined condition is satisfied in at least one of the following cases. (i) The browsing information includes browsing history information indicating facility information browsed by the user, and the facility information of the specific facility is included in a predetermined number of pieces of facility information browsed most recently indicated by the browsing history information. (ii) The browsing information includes status information indicating the status regarding the browsing of facility information by the user, and the status indicated by the status information is "browsing". (iii) The browsing information includes operation information regarding an operation performed using the terminal 20 by the user who browsed the facility information, and it is indicated by the operation information that a specific operation (for example, a reservation operation) has been performed by the user. (iv) The browsing information includes information browsing date and time information indicating the date and time when the user browsed the facility information, and the date and time indicated by the information browsing date and time information is within a predetermined range from the imaging date and time.

[0052] When it is determined that a predetermined condition based on the browsing information is satisfied (step S103; YES), in step S104, the information processing apparatus 10 determines whether the position indicated by the imaging position information acquired in step S101 is within a predetermined range from the location of the facility indicated by the location information. On the other hand, when it is determined that the predetermined condition based on the browsing information is not satisfied (step S103; NO), this operation returns to step S101.

[0053] When the position indicated by the imaging position information is within a predetermined range from the location of the specific facility indicated by the location information (step S104; YES), in step S105, the information processing apparatus 10 determines that the user of the terminal 20 has used the specific facility indicated by the facility information browsed by the user. On the other hand, when the position indicated by the imaging position information is not within a predetermined range from the location of the specific facility indicated by the location information, in step S106, the information processing apparatus 10 determines that the user of the terminal 20 has not used the specific facility. Note that the order of steps S103 and S104 may be swapped. Alternatively, after some determination is made in step S103, other determinations described in step S103 may be made between step S104 and step S105 or S106 (for example, determination of whether the condition (iv) described in step S103 is satisfied may be made after step S104, and if the condition (iv) is satisfied, proceed to step S105, and if the condition (iv) is not satisfied, proceed to step S106).

[0054] When it is determined that the user of the terminal 20 has used the specific facility (step S104; YES), in step S107, the information processing apparatus 10 outputs to the user input promotion information of the evaluation information of the specific facility determined to have been used by the user.

[0055] According to the operation based on the imaging position information as described above, it is determined whether a specific facility has been used by the user based on the position indicated by the imaging position information included in the image data captured using the terminal 20 and the location of the specific facility. When the imaging position information is within a predetermined range from the location, it can be strongly estimated that the user has used the specific facility, so the determination accuracy of whether the user has used the specific facility can be improved.

[0056] <Operation based on startup position information> FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of the operation based on the startup position information according to the present embodiment. Note that FIG. 10 is different from FIG. 9 in that the startup position information of the application for browsing facility information is used instead of the imaging position information in FIG. 9. In FIG. 10, the description will be centered on the differences from FIG. 9, and the description of the same points will not be repeated. Also, the order of steps S201 and S202 in FIG. 10 may be reversed. Similarly, the order of steps S203 and S204 may also be reversed. Further, this operation may be periodically executed at a predetermined time interval, or may be executed aperiodically, for example, at the time of starting the application.

[0057] In step S201, the information processing apparatus 10 acquires the startup position information of the application for browsing facility information in the terminal 20. Specifically, the information processing apparatus 10 may receive the startup position information from the terminal 20. Steps S202 and S203 are the same as steps S102 and S103.

[0058] When it is determined that a predetermined condition based on the above browsing information is satisfied (step S203; YES), in step S204, the information processing apparatus 10 determines whether the position indicated by the startup position information acquired in step S201 is within a predetermined range from the location of the specific facility indicated by the above location information. On the other hand, when it is determined that a predetermined condition based on the above browsing information is not satisfied (step S203; NO), this operation returns to step S201.

[0059] When the position indicated by the startup position information is within a predetermined range from the location of the specific facility indicated by the location information (step S204; YES), in step S205, the information processing apparatus 10 determines that the user of the terminal 20 has used the specific facility indicated by the facility information viewed by the user. On the other hand, when the position indicated by the startup position information is not within the predetermined range from the location of the facility indicated by the location information, in step S206, the information processing apparatus 10 determines that the user of the terminal 20 has not used the specific facility. Step S207 is the same as step S107.

[0060] According to the operation based on the startup position information as described above, it is determined whether the user has used a specific facility based on the position indicated by the startup position information of the application started using the terminal 20 and the location of the specific facility. Therefore, the determination accuracy of whether the user has used a specific facility can be easily improved.

[0061] Also, according to the operation shown in FIG. 9 or FIG. 10, it is determined that the user has used a specific facility not only based on whether the position indicated by the imaging position information or the startup position information is within a predetermined range from the location indicated by the location information, but also based on whether a predetermined condition based on the viewing information is satisfied. In this way, by using the viewing information, the determination accuracy of whether the user has used a specific facility can be easily improved.

[0062] (Other Embodiments) Note that the specific facilities are not limited to restaurants. For example, the specific facilities may be any facilities such as gyms and other exercise facilities, hotels, accommodation facilities such as inns, beauty salons such as hair salons, nail salons, and esthetic salons. Also, when the specific facility is a mobile facility such as a stand, food stall, or mobile sales vehicle, the location information included in the facility information may be associated with a date and time. In this case, whether the position indicated by the position information (for example, imaging position information or activation position information) is within a predetermined range from the location of the specific facility indicated by the location information may also be determined based on whether the date and time when the position information was acquired is within a predetermined range from the date and time associated with the location information.
