Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a hobby suggestion device, a hobby suggestion system, a hobby suggestion program, and a hobby suggestion method. [Background technology]

[0002] BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, a system is known that extracts information that reflects a user's interests from conversations between the user and the user in the car, and provides information for the car, such as destination information that suits the user's preferences (see, for example, Patent Document 1). The system disclosed in Patent Document 1 extracts a user's interests from keywords recognized by a conversational voice recognition means and a mental state detected by a mental state detection means, and then provides destinations that match the extracted user's interests via car navigation.

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2009-294790 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The system disclosed in Patent Document 1 is capable of providing information for automobiles, but is unable to provide hobbies to users. In other words, conventional systems extract user interests from keywords based on user conversations, but because the conversations are conducted in a car and the conversation partners are assumed to be close friends, there may be bias in the keywords. Therefore, under such circumstances, it is considered difficult to search for a user's hobbies from keywords.

[0005] The present disclosure has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and aims to provide a hobby suggestion device that can suggest hobbies to a user. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The hobby suggestion device according to the present disclosure is characterized by including a keyword extraction unit that extracts keywords related to the preferences of a user based on information about the user undergoing treatment at a beauty salon, a hobby search unit that searches for hobbies that match the user's preferences based on the results of extraction by the keyword extraction unit, and a hobby suggestion unit that suggests hobbies searched for by the hobby search unit. [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] According to the present disclosure, with the above configuration, it is possible to suggest hobbies to the user. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[Figure 2] 1 is a diagram illustrating an application example of the hobby suggestion system according to the first embodiment. [Figure 3] 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of the configuration of a hobby suggestion device according to a first embodiment. [Figure 4] 4 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the hobby suggestion device according to the first embodiment. [Figure 5] 5A and 5B are diagrams illustrating an example of a hardware configuration of the hobby suggestion device according to the first embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0009] Hereinafter, embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Embodiment 1 Fig. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration example of a hobby suggestion system according to embodiment 1, and Fig. 2 is a diagram showing an application example of the hobby suggestion system according to embodiment 1. In Fig. 2, reference numeral 11 denotes a user (a person receiving treatment), and reference numeral 12 denotes a hairdresser (a practitioner). The hobby suggestion system is a system that suggests hobbies to a user while the user is receiving treatment at a beauty salon. As shown in Fig. 1, the hobby suggestion system includes a device 1, a user information acquisition device 2, a hobby suggestion device 3, and a display device 4.

[0010] 1 shows a case where one device 1, one user information acquisition device 2, and one display device 4 are provided. However, when a beauty salon has multiple treatment stations, the device 1, the user information acquisition device 2, and the display device 4 are usually provided for each station. The hobby suggestion device 3 may be provided for each user information acquisition device 2, or one hobby suggestion device 3 may be provided for each of the multiple user information acquisition devices 2.

[0011] The device 1 is provided to a user at a beauty salon and allows the user to browse various magazines, etc. An example of the device 1 is a tablet terminal as shown in FIG.

[0012] The device 1 may also display information indicating the hobby suggested by the hobby suggestion device 3. Furthermore, when information about a hobby is presented by the hobby suggestion device 3, the device 1 may display the information about this hobby.

[0013] The user information acquisition device 2 acquires information about a user undergoing treatment at a beauty salon. As shown in FIG. 1, the user information acquisition device 2 may include, for example, a voice input device 201, an imaging device 202, and a device information acquisition device 203.

[0014] The voice input device 201 is installed in a beauty salon, for example, as shown in FIG. 2, and acquires voice information indicating the conversation of the user during treatment. The imaging device 202 is installed in a beauty salon, for example, as shown in FIG. 2, and captures images to obtain facial expression information indicating the facial expression of the user during treatment. The device information acquisition unit 203 acquires user operation information from the device 1 provided to the user at the beauty salon.

[0015] Note that the voice input device 201 may be placed at any location in the beauty salon as long as it is capable of acquiring voice information indicating the conversation of the user during treatment, and may also be mounted on furniture used in the beauty salon, such as a chair, mirror 13, or device 1. In the example of Fig. 2, the voice input device 201 is placed at a position (beside the mirror 13) opposite the chair (not shown) on which the user sits, in order to easily acquire voice information indicating the conversation of the user during treatment. Furthermore, the imaging device 202 may be placed at any position in the beauty salon as long as it is capable of acquiring facial expression information showing the facial expression of the user during treatment, and may also be mounted on fixtures used in the beauty salon, such as the mirror 13 or device 1. In the example of Fig. 2, the imaging device 202 is provided at a position (mirror 13) opposite the chair on which the user sits, in order to easily acquire facial expression information showing the facial expression of the user during treatment. In the example of FIG. 2, the device information acquisition unit 203 is provided on the mirror 13.

[0016] Furthermore, when multiple devices are used as the user information acquisition device 2, each device (in the example of Figure 1, the voice input device 201, the imaging device 202, and the device information acquisition device 203) may be configured as an integrated unit or may be configured separately.

[0017] 1 and 2 show a case where the user information acquisition device 2 includes a voice input device 201, an imaging device 202, and a device information acquisition device 203. However, the user information acquisition device 2 is not limited to this, and it is sufficient if it can acquire information about the user undergoing treatment from which keywords related to the user's preferences can be extracted by the hobby suggestion device 3, and it is sufficient if it is equipped with at least one of the voice input device 201 and the device information acquisition device 203. It is considered that the accuracy of hobby search in the hobby suggestion device 3 will improve if more devices are used as the user information acquisition device 2 to acquire information about the user undergoing treatment.

[0018] In addition, when one hobby suggestion device 3 is provided for multiple user information acquisition devices 2, information that enables the user information acquisition device 2 to be identified is added to the information output from the user information acquisition device 2 to the hobby suggestion device 3.

[0019] The hobby suggestion device 3 suggests a hobby to the user based on information about the user currently receiving treatment at a beauty salon, which information is acquired by the user information acquisition device 2. Furthermore, when the hobby suggestion device 3 receives information indicating that the suggested hobby is a preference of the user, the hobby suggestion device 3 may present information related to the hobby.

[0020] In addition, if information that enables the user information acquisition device 2 to be identified is added to the information from the user information acquisition device 2, the hobby suggestion device 3 identifies the user information acquisition device 2 based on this additional information, and then suggests a hobby to the user and presents information related to the hobby.

[0021] The hobby suggestion device 3 may be configured integrally with or separately from the user information acquisition device 2 or the display device 4. In the example of FIG. 2, the hobby suggestion device 3 is provided on a mirror 13. An example of the configuration of this hobby suggestion device 3 will be described later.

[0022] The display device 4 displays information indicating the hobby suggested by the hobby suggestion device 3. Furthermore, when information relating to a hobby is presented by the hobby suggestion device 3, the display device 4 displays the information relating to this hobby.

[0023] This display device 4 may be placed anywhere in the beauty salon as long as it is easily visible to the user during treatment, and may also be mounted on fixtures used in the beauty salon, such as a mirror 13. The device 1 may also be used as the display device 4. In the example of FIG. 2, the display device 4 is provided in a position facing the user (mirror 13).

[0024] The display device 4 may be configured integrally with the user information acquisition device 2 or the hobby suggestion device 3, or may be configured separately.

[0025] 1 shows a case where the hobby suggestion system is provided with the device 1. However, the device 1 is not an essential component of the hobby suggestion system, and does not have to be provided in the hobby suggestion system. 1 shows a case where the hobby suggestion system is provided with a display device 4. However, this display device 4 is not an essential component of the hobby suggestion system, and does not have to be provided in the hobby suggestion system.

[0026] Next, an example of the configuration of the hobby suggestion device 3 will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, the hobby suggestion device 3 includes an attribute information acquisition unit 301, a preference diagnosis unit 302, a keyword extraction unit 303, a hobby search unit 304, a hobby suggestion unit 305, a hobby-related information search unit 306, and a hobby-related information presentation unit 307.

[0027] The attribute information acquisition unit 301 acquires information relating to the attributes of a user, such as information indicating the user's age, sex, or place of residence. For example, the attribute information acquisition unit 301 acquires information about attributes from information input by the user via a device (not shown) held by the user or a device 1 provided to the user at a beauty salon.

[0028] 3 shows a case where the attribute information acquisition unit 301 is provided in the hobby suggestion device 3. However, this attribute information acquisition unit 301 is not an essential component of the hobby suggestion device 3, and does not have to be provided in the hobby suggestion device 3. It is considered that by using the information on the attributes acquired by the attribute information acquisition unit 301, the accuracy of the hobby search in the hobby search unit 304 is improved.

[0029] The preference diagnosis unit 302 diagnoses the preferences of the user. The diagnosis content by the preference diagnosis unit 302 includes, for example, content for diagnosing the user's preferences, such as whether or not the user likes to exercise, whether or not the user likes indoor activities, or whether or not the user likes detailed work. For example, the preference diagnosis unit 302 diagnoses the user's preferences from information input by the user via a device owned by the user or a device 1 provided to the user at a beauty salon.

[0030] 3 shows a case where the preference diagnosis unit 302 is provided in the hobby suggestion device 3. However, the preference diagnosis unit 302 is not an essential component of the hobby suggestion device 3, and does not necessarily have to be provided in the hobby suggestion device 3. It is considered that by using the diagnosis results from the preference diagnosis section 302, the accuracy of hobby search in the hobby search section 304 will be improved.

[0031] The keyword extraction unit 303 extracts keywords related to the preferences of a user based on information about the user currently receiving treatment at a beauty salon, which information is acquired by the user information acquisition device 2. For example, the keyword extraction unit 303 can extract keywords related to the user's preferences from the content of the user's conversation indicated by the voice information acquired by the voice input device 201. Furthermore, for example, the keyword extraction unit 303 can extract keywords related to the user's preferences by extracting, for example, the type of magazine that the user has viewed from the user's operation information acquired by the device information acquisition device 203.

[0032] At this time, the keyword extraction unit 303 may extract keywords relating to the user's preferences not only from the content of the user's conversation but also from the content of the conversation between the user and the hairdresser. For example, in some conversations, the hairdresser may do most of the talking and the user may only respond by nodding along. In such cases, the content of the conversation spoken by the hairdresser may be useful for searching for the user's hobbies.

[0033] Furthermore, the keyword extraction unit 303 may extract the user's feelings regarding the extracted keywords based on information about the user currently receiving treatment at the beauty salon, acquired by the user information acquisition device 2. Examples of the user's feelings include positive feelings, negative feelings, and neither (normal). For example, the keyword extraction unit 303 can extract the user's feelings toward the keyword from the intonation of the voice when the user utters the keyword based on the voice information acquired by the voice input device 201. Furthermore, for example, the keyword extraction unit 303 can extract the user's feelings toward the keyword from the facial expression (such as the degree to which the corners of the mouth or the corners of the eyes turn up and down) when the user utters the keyword from the facial expression information acquired by the imaging device 202.

[0034] Although extracting the user's feelings regarding the keywords is not an essential process, it is believed that extracting the user's feelings regarding the keywords will improve the accuracy of hobby search performed by the hobby search unit 304 . In other words, without the above-mentioned emotional information, it is not possible to distinguish whether the keywords extracted by the keyword extraction unit 303 are positive keywords or negative keywords, and there is a possibility that negative hobbies will be found in a hobby search.

[0035] The hobby search unit 304 searches for hobbies that match the user's preferences based on the extraction results by the keyword extraction unit 303. The hobby search unit 304 uses AI to search for hobbies that match the user's preferences. This AI receives information indicating keywords and outputs information indicating hobbies. That is, the hobby search unit 304 inputs information indicating at least a part of the keywords extracted by the keyword extraction unit 303 into the AI, and obtains information indicating the hobbies output from the AI, thereby searching for hobbies.

[0036] If the keyword extraction unit 303 extracts the user's feelings about the keywords in addition to extracting the keywords, the unit takes this information into consideration when searching for hobbies that match the user's preferences. That is, the hobby search unit 304 adds information indicating the user's feelings about the keywords to at least a portion of the information indicating the keywords input to the AI.

[0037] When the attribute information acquisition unit 301 acquires information related to attributes, the hobby search unit 304 searches for hobbies that match the user's preferences based on the extraction results by the keyword extraction unit 303 and the acquisition results by the attribute information acquisition unit 301. That is, the hobby search unit 304 inputs the information on the user's attributes acquired by the attribute information acquisition unit 301, in addition to the keywords extracted by the keyword extraction unit 303, to the AI.

[0038] In addition, when the preference diagnosis unit 302 performs a diagnosis, the hobby search unit 304 searches for a hobby that matches the user's preference based on the extraction result by the keyword extraction unit 303 and the diagnosis result by the preference diagnosis unit 302. That is, the hobby search unit 304 inputs the keywords extracted by the keyword extraction unit 303 as well as information indicating the diagnosis result by the preference diagnosis unit 302 to the AI.

[0039] In addition, when the attribute information acquisition unit 301 acquires information related to attributes and the preference diagnosis unit 302 performs a diagnosis, the hobby search unit 304 searches for a hobby that matches the user's preferences based on the extraction result by the keyword extraction unit 303, the acquisition result by the attribute information acquisition unit 301, and the diagnosis result by the preference diagnosis unit 302. That is, the hobby search unit 304 inputs to the AI ​​the keywords extracted by the keyword extraction unit 303, as well as information about the user's attributes acquired by the attribute information acquisition unit 301, and information indicating the diagnosis results by the preference diagnosis unit 302.

[0040] In addition, when the hobby search unit 304 receives information indicating that the hobby suggested by the hobby suggestion unit 305 is not to the user's liking, the hobby search unit 304 may perform a re-search for the hobby including information related to the information used in the previous search. For example, when the hobby search unit 304 receives information input by the user via a device owned by the user or a device 1 provided to the user at a beauty salon, indicating that the suggested hobby is not to the user's liking, the hobby search unit 304 performs a re-search for the hobby.

[0041] For example, the hobby search unit 304 may be configured to allow the AI ​​to learn information related to each piece of information in advance, thereby widening the search range and conducting a search again. Furthermore, for example, the hobby search unit 304 may obtain the related information by querying the AI ​​for information related to the information used in the previous search, and may perform a new search including this information. Furthermore, for example, after the hobby suggestion unit 305 suggests a hobby, the hobby search unit 304 may use information about the user currently receiving treatment at a beauty salon acquired by the user information acquisition device 2 to acquire information related to the information used in the previous search, and may perform a re-search including this information.

[0042] For example, the hobby search unit 304 searches for related information for at least a portion of the information used in the previous search (e.g., keywords related to the user's preferences, attribute information, and preference diagnosis results), and performs a re-search for hobbies by including the related information in the search range. For example, if the hobby search unit 304 previously performed a search using the keyword "drama," it will perform a search again including keywords related to this "drama," such as "movie" or "manga."

[0043] The hobby suggestion unit 305 suggests the hobby searched by the hobby search unit 304 . At this time, for example, the hobby suggestion unit 305 suggests the hobby by one or more of displaying information indicating the hobby searched by the hobby search unit 304 on the display device 4 or device 1, outputting audio to an audio output device (not shown), or notifying a device held by the user.

[0044] The hobby suggestion unit 305 may suggest hobbies not only to the user but also to the hairdresser who is having a conversation with the user. For example, the hobby suggestion unit 305 displays a screen on the display device 4 that is visible to the user and the hairdresser. This allows the hairdresser to get a starting point for a conversation with the user from the information indicating the hobby suggestion, and is thought to enable the hairdresser to provide a more comfortable treatment.

[0045] When the hobby-related information search unit 306 receives information indicating that a hobby suggested by the hobby suggestion unit 305 is a user preference, the hobby-related information search unit 306 searches for information related to the hobby. Examples of hobby-related information include information indicating facilities where the hobby can be experienced, information indicating availability of the facilities, and information indicating events related to the hobby. The hobby-related information search unit 306 uses AI to search for hobbies that match the user's preferences. This AI receives information indicating the hobby and outputs information indicating information related to the hobby. For example, when the hobby-related information search unit 306 receives information input by the user via a device owned by the user or a device 1 provided to the user at a beauty salon, indicating that the suggested hobby is the user's preference, it inputs the information indicating the hobby suggested by the hobby suggestion unit 305 to the AI, and retrieves information related to the hobby output from the AI, thereby searching for information related to the hobby.

[0046] At this time, the hobby-related information search unit 306 may search for information related to the hobby based on the information obtained by the hobby suggestion device 3 (in the example of FIG. 3, one or more of the acquisition result by the attribute information acquisition unit 301, the diagnosis result by the preference diagnosis unit 302, and the extraction result by the keyword extraction unit 303). For example, if the attribute information acquisition unit 301 obtains information indicating the user's place of residence as attribute information, the search may be prioritized based on this information to search for facilities or events near the user's place of residence as facilities where the user can experience a hobby or events related to the hobby. This can provide information indicating facilities or events that the user is likely to participate in, and is also thought to lead to the revitalization of the local area.

[0047] Furthermore, when the hobby-related information presentation unit 307 presents information indicating a facility where a hobby can be experienced or information indicating an event related to a hobby as information related to the hobby, the hobby-related information search unit 306 may make a reservation for the facility or the event in response to a reservation request from the user for the information presented by the hobby-related information presentation unit 307. For example, when the hobby-related information search unit 306 receives information indicating a reservation request for the above-mentioned facility or the above-mentioned event input by the user via a device owned by the user or a device 1 provided to the user at a beauty salon, the hobby-related information search unit 306 makes a reservation for the facility or the event.

[0048] The hobby-related information presentation unit 307 presents information related to the hobby acquired by the hobby-related information search unit 306 . In this case, for example, the hobby-related information presentation unit 307 presents the information related to the hobby by one or more of displaying the information indicating the hobby searched by the hobby-related information search unit 306 on the display device 4 or device 1, outputting the information as audio to an audio output device (not shown), or notifying a device held by the user.

[0049] Next, an example of the operation of the hobby suggestion device 3 according to the first embodiment shown in Fig. 3 will be described with reference to Fig. 4. In the following, it is assumed that when the hobby search unit 304 receives information indicating that the hobby suggested by the hobby suggestion unit 305 is not to the user's liking, the hobby search unit 304 searches for the hobby again.

[0050] In the operation example of the hobby suggestion device 3 according to the first embodiment shown in FIG. 3, as shown in FIG. 4, for example, first, the attribute information acquisition unit 301 acquires information about the attributes of the user (step ST101). For example, the attribute information acquisition unit 301 acquires information about attributes from information input by the user via a device held by the user or a device 1 provided to the user at a beauty salon.

[0051] Next, the preference diagnosis unit 302 diagnoses the user's preferences (step ST102). For example, the preference diagnosis unit 302 diagnoses the user's preferences from information input by the user via a device owned by the user or a device 1 provided to the user at a beauty salon.

[0052] Next, the keyword extraction unit 303 extracts keywords related to the preferences of the user based on the information about the user currently receiving treatment at the beauty salon acquired by the user information acquisition device 2 (step ST103).

[0053] Furthermore, the keyword extraction unit 303 may extract the user's feelings regarding the extracted keywords based on information about the user currently receiving treatment at the beauty salon, which information is acquired by the user information acquisition device 2.

[0054] Next, the hobby search unit 304 searches for a hobby that matches the user's preference based on the extraction result by the keyword extraction unit 303, the acquisition result by the attribute information acquisition unit 301, and the diagnosis result by the preference diagnosis unit 302 (step ST104). Note that the hobby search unit 304 uses AI to search for a hobby that matches the user's preference.

[0055] Next, the hobby suggestion unit 305 suggests the hobby searched by the hobby search unit 304 (step ST105). At this time, for example, the hobby suggestion unit 305 suggests the hobby by one or more of displaying information indicating the hobby searched by the hobby search unit 304 on the display device 4 or device 1, outputting audio to an audio output device (not shown), or notifying a device held by the user.

[0056] Next, the hobby suggestion device 3 determines whether the suggested hobby matches the user's tastes (step ST106). For example, the hobby suggestion device 3 determines whether the suggested hobby matches the user's preferences by accepting information input by the user via a device owned by the user or a device 1 provided to the user at a beauty salon, indicating whether the suggested hobby is the user's preference.

[0057] In step ST106, if the hobby suggestion device 3 determines that the suggested hobby does not match the user's preferences, the sequence returns to step ST104. Then, the hobby search unit 304 searches for the hobby again, including information related to the information used in the previous search.

[0058] On the other hand, if the hobby suggestion device 3 determines in step ST106 that the proposed hobby matches the user's preferences, the hobby-related information search unit 306 searches for information related to the hobby (step ST107). Note that the hobby-related information search unit 306 uses AI to search for hobbies that match the user's preferences.

[0059] At this time, the hobby-related information search unit 306 may search for information related to the hobby based on the information obtained by the hobby suggestion device 3 (in the example of FIG. 3, one or more of the acquisition result by the attribute information acquisition unit 301, the diagnosis result by the preference diagnosis unit 302, and the extraction result by the keyword extraction unit 303).

[0060] Next, the hobby-related information presentation unit 307 presents the information related to the hobby acquired by the hobby-related information search unit 306 (step ST108). In this case, for example, the hobby-related information presentation unit 307 presents the information related to the hobby by one or more of displaying the information indicating the hobby searched by the hobby-related information search unit 306 on the display device 4 or device 1, outputting the information as audio to an audio output device (not shown), or notifying a device held by the user.

[0061] Furthermore, when the hobby-related information presentation unit 307 presents information indicating a facility where a hobby can be experienced or information indicating an event related to a hobby as information related to the hobby, the hobby-related information search unit 306 may make a reservation for the facility or the event in response to a reservation request from the user for the information presented by the hobby-related information presentation unit 307.

[0062] Next, a specific example of the hobby suggestion device 3 will be described. For simplicity of explanation, the following describes a case where the hobby search unit 304 searches for a hobby using only the keywords extracted by the keyword extraction unit 303.

[0063] For example, suppose the following conversation takes place between a user and a hairdresser during a treatment at a beauty salon. Hairdresser: "Do you have any plans for your next day off?" User: "I don't have any plans." Hairdresser: "I see. You're not going anywhere?" User: "Well, I'll go shopping and then relax at home." Hairdresser: "You need a day off to relax, right? I often stay home and binge-watch TV dramas." User: "I watch a lot of dramas too. When I find an interesting one, I watch it for hours, and before I know it, I'm watching it late into the night." Hairdresser: "You lose track of time, don't you? Have you seen the popular 'XXX' lately?" User: "I'm watching! I went to the filming location the other day." Hairdresser: "That's amazing! You even went to the filming location." User: "Yes. I recommend the XXX shooting location, as not only can you see the background of the photo, but there are also many photogenic spots and small cafes."

[0064] Then, the keyword extraction unit 303 extracts keywords related to the user's preferences from the voice information indicating the above conversation acquired by the user information acquisition device 2 (voice input device 201). For example, the keyword extraction unit 303 extracts keywords related to the user's preferences from the above conversation, such as "no plans," "rest at home," "watch a drama," "go to a filming location," "photogenic spot," and "small cafe." Furthermore, the keyword extraction unit 303 may extract the user's feelings toward the above keywords from the information about the user acquired by the user information acquisition device 2. For example, the keyword extraction unit 303 extracts a negative feeling for the keyword "no plans," a normal feeling for the keyword "resting at home," and a positive feeling for the keywords "watching a drama," "going to a filming location," "photogenic spot," and "small cafe."

[0065] Also, for example, if the keyword extraction unit 303 detects from the user's operation information acquired by the user information acquisition device 2 (device information acquisition device 203) that the user was viewing a travel information magazine, it extracts "travel" as a keyword.

[0066] The hobby search unit 304 then searches for hobbies that match the user's preferences using AI, using the keywords extracted by the keyword extraction unit 303. For example, the hobby search unit 304 searches for "location photo walks," "drama viewing parties," "cafe hopping," and "photo exhibition tours" as hobbies that match the user's preferences. Then, the hobby suggestion unit 305 suggests the hobby searched by the hobby search unit 304.

[0067] In addition, when the hobby search unit 304 receives information indicating that the hobby suggested by the hobby suggestion unit 305 is not to the user's liking, the hobby search unit 304 may perform a re-search including information related to the information used in the previous search. For example, the hobby search unit 304 performs a search again by adding keywords such as "watch a movie," "go on a trip," "amusement park," and "coffee shop" as keywords related to keywords corresponding to positive emotions in addition to the keywords used in the previous search ("no plans," "rest at home," "watch a drama," "go to a filming location," "photogenic spot," and "small cafe"). As a result, for example, the hobby search unit 304 searches for hobbies such as "photo walk," "movie night," "travel," "cafe hopping," and "reading" as hobbies that match the user's preferences.

[0068] In this way, the hobby suggestion device 3 according to the first embodiment acquires information about the user, such as voice information indicating a conversation with a third party (a hairdresser) whom the user does not normally interact with, or operation information about the device 1, in an environment different from the user's usual living environment, and extracts keywords from this information to search for hobbies. This makes it possible to suppress bias in keywords and search for hobbies that are likely to match the user's preferences. Furthermore, since a conversation with a third party (a hairdresser) whom the user does not normally interact with is likely to lead to conversations about topics that the user does not normally avoid, it is possible to suggest unexpected hobbies from such conversations, which is considered to be useful as a hobby suggestion. Furthermore, the hobby suggestion device 3 according to embodiment 1 acquires information about the user undergoing treatment at a beauty salon, so that the user does not need to take any special action or time to search for a hobby, and hobby suggestions can be made more efficiently. Furthermore, in the hobby suggestion device 3 according to the first embodiment, if the suggested hobby matches the user's preferences, it is possible to present additional information related to the hobby, and it is also possible to make reservations for facilities or events related to the hobby, thereby improving convenience.
