DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0016] A preferred embodiment of a facility information distribution device of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 shows the basic configuration of a facility information distribution system 1. As shown in Fig. 1, the facility information distribution system 1 includes a facility information distribution device 10, a mobile terminal 20, and an evaluation site 30. Although the facility information distribution device 10 and the evaluation site 30 are not connected to one mobile terminal 20 in Fig. 1, they may be connected to two or more mobile terminals 20. The evaluation site 30 is, for example, a web server or the like, and is an evaluation website that accepts information posted by users who have used facilities such as supermarkets, convenience stores, restaurants, etc., including reviews of the facilities. The evaluation site 30 distributes the accepted posted information about the facilities to users of the evaluation site 30. The mobile terminal 20 is a wireless terminal device (e.g., a smartphone, a tablet terminal, etc.) owned by a user who has been pre-registered for the service provided by the facility information distribution system 1. It is assumed that, when using the service of the facility information distribution system 1, the user who owns the mobile terminal 20 pre-registers a user ID, a password, identification information of the mobile terminal 20 (e.g., a terminal ID such as a telephone number), etc. with the facility information distribution device 10, and also obtains a license for the location information provided by the mobile terminal 20, for example. The mobile terminal 20 transmits the location information of the mobile terminal 20, which is measured by a GPS sensor or the like included in the mobile terminal 20, to the facility information distribution device 10 via a network (not shown) based on the license for the location information. The facility information distribution device 10 acquires and stores, from the evaluation site 30, facility information for each of a plurality of facilities, including type information relating to the type of facility, business location information indicating the business location of the facility, and posted information relating to the facility posted by any user who uses the facility. The facility information distribution device 10 acquires the location information of each mobile terminal 20, and calculates the frequency of visits to the facility for each user by comparing the acquired location information for each mobile terminal 20 with the business location information of any stored facility. The facility information distribution device 10 creates user profile information for each user based on type information indicating the business type of a frequently visited facility and posted information about the facility posted by any user who uses the facility. Based on the created user profile information, the facility information distribution device 10 selects recommended facilities from multiple facilities for each user who owns a mobile terminal 20 (a user pre-registered in the facility information distribution system 1) and distributes the recommended facilities to the mobile terminal 20. In this way, the facility information distribution device 10 can distribute information about facilities that are likely to be preferred by the user as advertisements to the user without using website search words or email words, thereby promoting the use of the advertiser's facilities. The outline of the system configuration in this embodiment has been explained above. Next, the facility information distribution device 10 and the mobile terminal 20 will be explained.

[0017] <Facility information distribution device 10> 2 is a block diagram showing the basic configuration of the facility information distribution device 10. As shown in FIG. 2, the facility information distribution device 10 includes a control unit 11, a storage unit 12, and a communication unit 13.

[0018] The control unit 11 is composed of an arithmetic processing device such as a microprocessor, and controls each unit constituting the facility information distribution device 10. The control unit 11 will be described in detail later.

[0019] The memory unit 12 is composed of semiconductor memory, etc., and stores various programs such as control programs called firmware and operating systems, programs for acquiring location information of the mobile terminal 20, profile creation processing, distribution processing, etc., as well as other various information such as facility information (type information, location information, posted information), location information of the mobile terminal 20, profile information, etc. As shown in FIG. 2, the storage unit 12 includes a facility information storage unit 120, a location information storage unit 121, and a profile information storage unit 122. In addition, the memory unit 12 stores user information of the user of the mobile terminal 20, such as a user ID, password, and identification information of the mobile terminal 20 (e.g., a terminal ID such as a telephone number) that are pre-registered in order to use the services of the facility information distribution system 1, as well as information regarding permission to use the location information provided by the mobile terminal 20, for each user (user ID) or mobile terminal 20 (terminal ID).

[0020] The facility information storage unit 120 is a storage unit that stores, as facility information, type information regarding the type of each facility, business location information indicating the business location of the facility, and posted information regarding the facility posted by any user who uses the facility, which are acquired from the review site 30. Here, the type information may be, for example, the type of business, such as a large-scale retail store such as a supermarket or electronics retailer, a convenience store, an accommodation facility, or a restaurant. If the facility is a restaurant, the type information may include information regarding the genre, such as "sushi," "soba," "udon," "ramen," "Chinese," "hamburger," "pizza," "Italian," or "hamburger steak." The facility type information may also be a combination of multiple genres depending on the products, dishes, or services offered by the facility.

[0021] The facility information storage unit 120 may also store an adjective table that associates adjectives (adjective information) used in posted information, such as reviews of facilities, with keywords that the user who posted the posted information considered important when selecting the facility. For example, if adjectives such as "spicy" and "sweet" are used in posted information, it can be inferred that the user who posted the posted information considered "taste" to be important when selecting a facility. If adjectives such as "comfortable" and "stylish" are used in posted information, it can be inferred that the user who posted the posted information considered "atmosphere" to be important when selecting a facility. If adjectives such as "inexpensive" and "cheap" are used in posted information, it can be inferred that the user who posted the posted information considered "price" to be important when selecting a facility. If adjectives such as "friendly" and "kind" are used in posted information, it can be inferred that the user who posted the posted information considered "customer service" to be important when selecting a facility. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of an adjective table. As shown in Figure 3, the adjective table contains "adjectives" (adjective information) used in the posted information, such as "spicy," "sweet," "comfortable," "stylish," "cheap," "affordable," "kind," and "friendly." The adjective table also links "keywords" such as "taste," "atmosphere," "price," and "service" that correspond to the adjectives.

[0022] The location information storage unit 121 is a storage unit in which location information acquired from a mobile terminal 20 carried by a user registered in the facility information distribution system 1 by the location information acquisition unit 110 described later is stored for each user's identification information (user ID) or mobile terminal 20 (terminal ID) together with the time information at the time of positioning.

[0023] As will be described later, the profile information storage unit 122 is a storage unit that calculates the frequency of visits to facilities for each user of the mobile terminal 20 by the profile information creation unit 111 by comparing the location information of the user of each mobile terminal 20 with business location information of any facility stored in the facility information storage unit 120, and stores user profile information for each user that is created based on the type information of the facility with the highest visit frequency and the posted information. Note that the user profile information will be described later.

[0024] The communication unit 13 has a DSP and the like, and realizes wireless communication with the mobile terminal 20 and wired or wireless communication with the evaluation site 30 via a communication network (not shown) in accordance with standards such as LTE (Long Term Evolution), 4G (4th Generation), and 5G (5th Generation), or Wi-Fi (registered trademark). The communication network (not shown) is realized by a network such as the Internet or a mobile phone network, or a network combining these. Furthermore, a local area network (LAN) may be included as part of the network.

[0025] Next, details of the control unit 11 will be described. The control unit 11 is configured by a microprocessor having a CPU, RAM, ROM, I / O, etc. The CPU executes each program read from the ROM or storage unit 12, and during execution, reads information from the RAM, ROM, and storage unit 12, writes information to the RAM and storage unit 12, and exchanges signals with the communication unit 13. In this way, the processing in this embodiment is realized by the cooperation of hardware and software (programs).

[0026] The control unit 11 includes a location information acquisition unit 110, a profile information creation unit 111, and a distribution unit 112 as functional blocks.

[0027] The location information acquisition unit 110 acquires location information from the mobile terminal 20 carried by the user who uses the facility. Specifically, the location information acquiring unit 110 acquires, for example, location information indicating the location of the mobile terminal 20 measured by a GPS sensor of the mobile terminal 20 together with time information when the location was measured from the mobile terminal 20 of each user who has been registered in advance in the service provided by the facility information distribution system 1. The location information acquiring unit 110 stores the acquired location information and time information of each mobile terminal 20 in the location information storage unit 121 for each user (user ID) or mobile terminal 20 (terminal ID). When the user is traveling in a vehicle such as an automobile, the location information acquiring unit 110 may acquire location information and time information of a navigation device or the like from a navigation device or the like installed in the vehicle.

[0028] The profile information creation unit 111 calculates the frequency of visits to facilities for each user by comparing the location information of each user's mobile terminal 20 with the business locations of any facilities stored in the facility information storage unit 120, and creates user profile information for the user based on the type information of facilities visited most frequently and the posted information. Specifically, the profile information creation unit 111 reads out the position information and time information of the mobile terminal 20 for each user from the position information storage unit 121 based on, for example, the user ID. The profile information creation unit 111 also reads out business location information of an arbitrary facility from the facility information storage unit 120. The profile information creation unit 111 determines the time change in the position of the mobile terminal 20 for each user based on the read position information and time information for each user. Then, for each of the determined time changes in the position of each mobile terminal 20, the profile information creation unit 111 extracts a position that does not change for a predetermined time period (e.g., 15 minutes) or more. The profile information creation unit 111 compares the extracted position of each mobile terminal 20 with the business location information of an arbitrary facility read out from the facility information storage unit 120, and identifies a facility that matches within a predetermined range (e.g., a radius of 20 meters) as a facility visited by the user of the mobile terminal 20. The profile information creating unit 111 calculates, for each user, the frequency of visits to the identified facility within a predetermined period (for example, one week, one month, etc.).

[0029] The profile information creation unit 111 extracts, for each user, information on the type of business or genre of restaurant of the facility frequently visited by the user based on the type information from the facility information storage unit 120. By doing so, the profile information creation unit 111 extracts one or more adjectives used in the posted information about the facility frequently visited by each user. The profile information creation unit 111 extracts one or more keywords that each user considers important when selecting a facility, corresponding to the one or more adjectives extracted for each user based on the adjective table of FIG. 3. The profile information creation unit 111 creates, for each user, user profile information that records information on the type of business or genre of restaurant of the facility frequently visited by the user, and one or more adjectives and keywords for the facility. The profile information creation unit 111 stores the created user profile information in a storage location of the profile information storage unit 122 for each user (user ID) or mobile terminal 20 (terminal ID). In this way, the distribution unit 112 described below can select facilities that are likely to be preferred by the user by searching based on information in the user's user profile information regarding the industry or restaurant genre of facilities that the user visits frequently, and one or more keywords for the facilities that the user visits frequently, without using website search words or email words.

[0030] The distribution unit 112 selects recommended facilities for each user from a plurality of facilities based on the user profile information and distributes the selected facilities to the mobile terminal 20 carried by the user. Specifically, the distribution unit 112 selects recommended facilities that match the user's preferences from among the multiple facilities stored in the facility information storage unit 120, based on, for example, information regarding the industry or restaurant genre of frequently visited facilities in the user profile information for each user stored in the profile information storage unit 122, and one or more keywords for the frequently visited facilities. The distribution unit 112 may select two or more recommended facilities as recommended facilities, and may rank the selected recommended facilities in order of proximity to the location information of the user's mobile terminal 20 or according to the degree of match with the user profile information. The distribution unit 112 distributes facility information of the selected recommended facility as an advertisement to each user's mobile terminal 20 via the communication unit 13. Note that the distribution unit 112 may distribute the facility information of the selected recommended facility together with coupons that can be used at the facility. The configuration of the facility information distribution device 10 has been described above.

[0031] <Mobile terminal 20> The functional blocks of the mobile terminal 20 will be described with reference to the block diagram of FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, the mobile terminal 20 includes a control unit 21, a storage unit 22, a communication unit 23, a sensor unit 24, a display unit 25, and an input unit 26.

[0032] The control unit 21 is configured with an arithmetic processing device such as a microprocessor, and controls each unit that configures the mobile terminal 20. Details of the control unit 21 will be described later.

[0033] The storage unit 22 is configured with a semiconductor memory or the like, and stores various information such as a control program called firmware or an operating system, a program that executes a function of transmitting location information, time information, and the like to the facility information distribution device 10, and a program that posts reviews and the like about the facility to the review site 30. In FIG. 2, location information 221 is illustrated as information stored in the storage unit 22. Note that the storage unit 22 may store information other than the above.

[0034] The position information 221 includes position information (latitude and longitude) of the mobile terminal 20 obtained by receiving a GPS satellite signal using a GPS sensor included in the sensor unit 24 (described later), and time information when the position information is measured.

[0035] The communication unit 23 has a DSP or the like, and conforms to standards such as LTE (Long Term Evolution), 4G (4th Generation), and 5G (5th Generation), or Wi-Fi (registered trademark), to realize wireless communication or wired communication with other devices (e.g., the facility information distribution device 10 and the evaluation site 30) via a communication network (not shown). The communication unit 23 is used, for example, to transmit identification information (terminal ID), location information 221, etc. of the mobile terminal 20 to the facility information distribution device 10, and to transmit posted information, etc. to the evaluation site 30. The communication unit 23 may transmit new location information, etc. to the facility information distribution device 10 each time it acquires the information, or may transmit all newly accumulated location information, etc. to the facility information distribution device 10 at predetermined intervals (e.g., one minute, etc.). Furthermore, there are no particular restrictions on the data exchanged between the communication unit 23 and other devices, and information other than the above may also be exchanged.

[0036] The sensor unit 24 includes, for example, a GPS sensor, which receives GPS satellite signals to measure the position information (latitude and longitude) of the mobile terminal 20, and acquires time information when the position information is measured. For example, the sensor unit 24 is configured with a GPS sensor, an acceleration sensor, a vibration sensor, etc. The sensor unit 24 may also include an acceleration sensor, a vibration sensor, etc., and measure the moving speed and vibration of the mobile terminal 20.

[0037] The display unit 25 is configured with a display device such as a liquid crystal display or an organic electroluminescence panel. Upon receiving an instruction from the control unit 21, the display unit 25 displays information about recommended facilities and the like recommended by the facility information distribution device 10.

[0038] The input unit 26 is composed of input devices such as physical switches called a numeric keypad and a touch panel that is provided over the display surface of the display unit 25. By outputting a signal to the control unit 21 based on an operation input from the input unit 26, for example, pressing a numeric keypad by the user or touching the touch panel, the user can perform a selection operation or the like.

[0039] In addition, although not shown, the mobile terminal 20 may also be equipped with a speaker, a microphone, etc. In this way, it is possible to output information by voice from the speaker, and various selections and instructions by the user input by voice via the microphone, and input them to the control unit 21 using voice recognition technology.

[0040] Next, details of the control unit 21 will be described. The control unit 21 is configured by a microprocessor having a CPU, RAM, ROM, I / O, etc. The CPU executes each program read from the ROM or storage unit 22, and during execution, reads information from the RAM, ROM, and storage unit 22, writes information to the RAM and storage unit 22, and exchanges signals with the communication unit 23, sensor unit 24, display unit 25, and input unit 26. In this way, the processing in this embodiment is realized by the cooperation of hardware and software (programs).

[0041] The information transmitting unit 211 transmits the location information 221 of the mobile terminal 20 and the like together with the terminal ID (identification information) of the mobile terminal 20 to the facility information distribution device 10 by wireless communication using the communication unit 23.

[0042] The result receiving unit 212 receives the recommended facilities recommended by the facility information distribution device 10 via the communication unit 23 and displays the received recommended facilities on the display unit 25. This allows the user of the mobile terminal 20 to obtain information on recommended facilities that match their preferences. The configuration of the mobile terminal 20 has been described above.

[0043] Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in Fig. 5. Fig. 5 is a flowchart showing the operation of the facility information distribution device 10. The process shown in Fig. 5 is executed every time location information is received from the mobile terminal 20.

[0044] In step S10, the location information acquisition unit 110 acquires location information from the mobile terminal 20 of each user.

[0045] In step S11, the profile information creation unit 111 calculates the frequency of visits to facilities for each user by comparing the location information of each user's mobile terminal 20 acquired in step S10 with the business location information of any facility stored in the facility information storage unit 120.

[0046] In step S12, the profile information creation unit 111 extracts information about the industry or restaurant genre of facilities frequently visited by each user, based on the type information of the facility information in the facility information storage unit 120. The profile information creation unit 111 also extracts one or more adjectives used in the posted information about the facilities frequently visited by each user, and extracts one or more keywords that each user considers important when selecting a facility, based on the adjective table in FIG.

[0047] In step S13, the profile information creation unit 111 creates user profile information for each user based on information about the industry or restaurant genre of the frequently visited facility extracted in step S11, and one or more adjectives and keywords for the facility.

[0048] In step S14, the distribution unit 112 selects recommended facilities from a plurality of facilities for each user based on the user profile information created in step S14.

[0049] In step S15, the distribution unit 112 distributes the facility information of the recommended facility selected in step S14 to each mobile terminal 20 possessed by the user.

[0050] As described above, the facility information distribution device 10 acquires location information from the mobile device 20 of each user who uses a facility, and compares the location information of each user's mobile device 20 with the business location information of any facility stored in the facility information storage unit 120 to calculate the frequency of visits to the facility for each user. Based on the type information and posted information of facilities frequently visited by each user, the facility information distribution device 10 extracts one or more adjectives used in the posted information, along with information on the business type or restaurant genre of the facility, and extracts one or more keywords that each user considers important when selecting a facility based on an adjective table. The facility information distribution device 10 creates user profile information for each user based on the extracted information on the business type or restaurant genre of the frequently visited facility and one or more adjectives and keywords associated with the facility. Based on the user profile information, the facility information distribution device 10 selects recommended facilities from among multiple facilities for each user and distributes the recommended facilities to the mobile device 20 owned by the user. This allows the facility information distribution device 10 to distribute information about facilities that are likely to be preferred by the user as advertisements to the user without using website search words or email words, thereby promoting the use of the advertiser's facilities.

[0051] Each device can be realized by hardware, software, or a combination of these. Furthermore, the navigation method performed by the cooperation of each device included in the navigation system can also be realized by hardware, software, or a combination of these. Here, "realized by software" means that it is realized by a computer reading and executing a program.

[0052] The program can be stored and supplied to a computer using various types of non-transitory computer-readable media.
