Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0012] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Note that the reference numerals in the drawings appended to the following description are for convenience of each element as an example to assist understanding, and are not intended to limit the present invention to the illustrated embodiments. Also, the connection lines between blocks in each figure include both bidirectional and unidirectional ones. The one-directional arrows schematically show the flow of main signals (data) and do not exclude bidirectionality. Further, in the circuit diagrams, block diagrams, internal configuration diagrams, connection diagrams, etc. shown in the present application disclosure, although not explicitly shown, input ports and output ports exist at the input ends and output ends of each connection line, respectively. The same applies to input / output interfaces.

[0013] First, a general overview will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, the information processing apparatus 100 includes a tourist spot storage unit 10, a general spot introduction unit 20, and a hidden spot introduction unit 30.

[0014] The tourist spot storage unit 10 classifies and stores tourist spots into general spots that are unconditionally introduced to tourists and hidden spots that are introduced conditionally, and stores the introduction conditions for each hidden spot. In particular, the tourist spot storage unit 10 stores the introduction conditions set based on opinions received from related parties such as local residents living in the vicinity regarding each hidden spot.

[0015] The general spot introduction unit 20 introduces general spots to tourists. The hidden spot introduction unit 30 compares the input information from tourists with the introduction conditions set for each hidden spot, selects the hidden spots whose introduction conditions match the input information, and introduces the selected hidden spots to tourists.

[0016] Simply put, the problem of overtourism is fundamentally caused by the influx of tourists exceeding the capacity of tourist spots. For example, local residents may complain about congestion and traffic jams caused by the large number of tourists. In this case, simply reducing the number of tourists can alleviate the problem of overtourism. Here, the information processing device 100 only introduces tourist spots classified as "hidden spots" to tourists who match the introduction criteria. As a result, the number of tourists visiting these spots decreases, and according to the information processing device 100, it is possible to mitigate the problem of overtourism.

[0017] [Embodiment 1] The following will explain the information processing device 100 with a specific example. As shown in Figure 2, the information processing device 100 is connected to a tourist terminal owned by a tourist via a network.

[0018] The information processing device 100 functions as a device that provides tourist information services. To give a specific example, as shown in Figure 3, the information processing device 100 provides tourist information services through an application downloaded to a tourist terminal. For example, as shown in Figure 3, the information processing device 100 elicits the tourist's preferences in an interactive format (such as a chatbot format) and introduces tourist spots that match those preferences. In addition, it is possible to apply various forms of tourist information service provision to the present invention, such as introducing tourist spots after gradually narrowing down the region according to the user's instructions. The information processing device 100 also includes a tourist spot storage unit 10, a general spot introduction unit 20, and a hidden spot introduction unit 30, similar to the overview described above.

[0019] As shown in Figure 4, the tourist spot memory unit 10 classifies and stores tourist spots into general spots that are introduced to tourists unconditionally and hidden spots that are introduced conditionally, and also stores the introduction conditions for each hidden spot. In particular, the tourist spot memory unit 10 stores introduction conditions that have been set based on opinions from local stakeholders, such as local residents living around each hidden spot.

[0020] Examples of hidden spots include the Kamakura High School Crossing (hereinafter referred to as K Crossing). This K Crossing is a spot known as an "anime pilgrimage site" because it was used in the opening scene of a basketball anime, and there are actually tourism websites that introduce K Crossing as a recommended spot in the area where it is located. However, tourists have actually engaged in problematic behavior around K Crossing, such as loitering on the sidewalk to recreate scenes from the anime and trespassing into homes to take pictures, leading to complaints from local residents to the local government and railway company.

[0021] Here, a "general spot" refers to a tourist attraction that is also developed as a tourist destination and whose arrival is desired by local residents. For example, a tourist spot that describes itself as a "popular spot" on its website or elsewhere would be classified as a general spot.

[0022] Furthermore, the classification of tourist spots as either general spots or hidden spots can be determined based on opinions gathered from local residents and other stakeholders (for example, survey results). For example, suppose there is a survey result asking local residents whether they want tourists to visit a particular tourist spot. In this case, tourist spots where more than half of the local residents answered that they want tourists to visit could be classified as general spots, and tourist spots where more than half of the local residents answered that they do not want tourists to visit could be classified as hidden spots. This classification could also be implemented by initially classifying all tourist spots as general spots and then changing some general spots to hidden spots. Alternatively, this classification could also be implemented by initially classifying all tourist spots as hidden spots and then changing some hidden spots to general spots.

[0023] The referral conditions may be set based on feedback from stakeholders, such as local residents living around each hidden spot. Therefore, the referral conditions can be set in a variety of ways depending on the opinions of those stakeholders. For example, if there are complaints about congestion caused by the arrival of tourists, referral conditions that reduce the number of tourists may be set. For example, regarding the K railroad crossing, a referral condition may be set that the keyword "basketball" must be entered in the chatbot dialogue, with the intention that it should be referred to tourists who are interested in "basketball".

[0024] The general spot introduction section 20 and the hidden spot introduction section 30 will be explained in detail according to the processing flow of the information processing device 100.

[0025] Below, an example of the processing flow by the information processing device 100 will be explained using Figure 5. Note that processing similar to that of general tourist information services will be omitted from the explanation. In other words, the present invention can be applied by adapting a wide variety of existing tourist information services.

[0026] When the tourist information application installed on the tourist terminal is launched, the information processing device 100 starts a chatbot dialogue (step S01). If the keyword "basketball" is entered during the chatbot dialogue (step S02, Yes), the information processing device 100 introduces general basketball-related spots as well as the hidden spot, K railroad crossing (step S03, see Figure 3). On the other hand, if the keyword "basketball" is not entered (step S02, No), the information processing device 100 introduces general spots without including K railroad crossing (step S04).

[0027] Figure 6 shows an example of a chatbot dialogue leading to step S04. As is clear from comparing Figure 3 and Figure 6, if the keyword "basketball" is not entered, the information processing device 100 will introduce tourist spots, including general spots related to basketball, but will skip introducing the K railroad crossing (step S04).

[0028] Step S03 can also be described as the process in which the hidden spot introduction unit 30 selects a hidden spot associated with a keyword entered by the tourist, and introduces the selected hidden spot to the tourist.

[0029] As described above, the information processing device 100 only introduces the hidden spot, K level crossing, to tourists who match the introduction condition (keyword) "basketball." As a result, the number of tourists who visit K level crossing will be reduced compared to introducing it unconditionally, thus mitigating the problem of overtourism.

[0030] Furthermore, the information processing device 100 is also useful in mitigating the problem of overtourism at general tourist spots. In other words, if the K level crossing, which is a hidden tourist spot, is not introduced at all, tourists who would have gone there may instead go to general tourist spots, potentially resulting in overtourism problems such as congestion. Therefore, one of the aims of this invention is to keep the K level crossing as a tourist spot, allowing even a small number of tourists to enter, thereby dispersing the tourists. However, introducing the K level crossing unconditionally would be counterproductive, as it would exacerbate the problem of overtourism at the K level crossing. Therefore, the K level crossing is positioned as a "hidden" tourist spot that is introduced only under certain conditions. To put it another way, if we assume that there is a tourist spot that has received complaints from local residents, completely stopping the introduction of that tourist spot could lead to the occurrence of overtourism problems at other tourist spots. Therefore, one of the aims of this invention is not to completely stop the introduction, but to keep it hidden and limit its introduction.

[0031] [Variant form] One possible condition for introduction is that the user has entered a profile indicating an interest in basketball. For example, when the tourist information application is launched for the first time, the information processing device 100 requests the tourist to enter a profile (see Figure 7). If the basketball option is checked in the hobbies section, it is equivalent to the tourist answering "basketball" to the question "What sports do you like?". Therefore, in response to the tourist's input of "I want to visit sports-related spots in the Kanto region," the information processing device 100 will introduce basketball-related spots as general spots with a focus on them, as well as the K railroad crossing. In this case, step S03 can also be described as the hidden spot introduction unit 30 selecting hidden spots that match the introduction conditions of the tourist's profile and introducing the selected hidden spots to the tourist.

[0032] Furthermore, in response to the question, "Please enter the area and purpose of your planned visit," it is conceivable that a tourist might directly enter "K level crossing." In this case, the information processing device 100 may introduce K level crossing even without the input of the keyword "basketball." In other words, since the tourist's purpose for sightseeing is K level crossing itself, it can be said that the tourist's arrival at K level crossing is unavoidable. To put it another way, K level crossing is no longer a "hidden spot," so the information processing device 100 may proactively provide information about K level crossing to the tourist.

[0033] Regarding the provision of tourist information services, existing technologies can be applied and modified in a wide variety of ways. For example, general spots could be classified into experiential categories such as "nature / scenery," "culture / history," and "gourmet." Alternatively, general spots could be classified into hobby / preference categories such as "art," "learning," "play," and "eating tours." For example, suppose there is a temple A that does not wish to attract a large number of tourists, and it is classified as a hidden spot with the introduction condition (keyword) "name of the religious sect to which temple A belongs." If a tourist inputs "I want to visit historical temples" during a chatbot conversation, the information processing device 100 will introduce general spots categorized as "culture / history." Up to this point, it is the same as conventional tourist information services. However, the difference in this invention is that if the keyword "name of the religious sect to which temple A belongs" is input, temple A will be introduced (added to the introduced spots), but if not, temple A will not be introduced. Note that the introduction condition (keyword) "name of the religious sect to which temple A belongs" in this example can be determined by the head priest of temple A, etc. The background behind determining these introduction criteria (keywords) might include, for example, the fact that the influx of numerous tourists who think any temple will do is causing hesitation among parishioners and other followers of the sect to which Temple A belongs (the problem of overtourism).

[0034] "Stakeholders of each hidden spot" includes local residents and other stakeholders living around each hidden spot. As mentioned above, it may also include the administrator of the hidden spot (such as a local government). "Opinions received from stakeholders of each hidden spot" could include complaints about congestion caused by the arrival of a large number of tourists. "Keywords (referral conditions) set based on opinions received from stakeholders of each hidden spot" are keywords (referral conditions) used to restrict tourists visiting the hidden spots. These keywords (referral conditions) can be set arbitrarily. In other words, the processing by the information processing device 100 can be said to be a match determination between the keywords included in the input information from tourists and the keywords (referral conditions) set for each hidden spot. Therefore, it can be said that the processing by the information processing device 100 is possible regardless of the background in which the keywords (referral conditions) are set.

[0035] [Embodiment 2] In some cases, the problem of overtourism stems from the manners and morals of tourists. For example, there have been instances of tourists chasing after geishas to take pictures, or trespassing into homes to take photographs. Similar complaints about breaches of manners and morals have also been made regarding the K railroad crossing. In this invention, "following good manners" and "having good morals" may be included as conditions for introduction.

[0036] Specifically, as shown in Figure 8, the information processing device 100 further includes a manners and morals determination unit 40 that determines the degree of a tourist's manners and morals based on input information from the tourist. For example, as shown in Figure 9, the manners and morals determination unit 40 requests the tourist's consent to comply with the ordinance during the chatbot dialogue, and determines that the tourist who consents "follows good manners" and "has morals" (manners and morals degree "1"). On the other hand, the manners and morals determination unit 40 determines that the tourist who refuses to consent or skips checking the ordinance "does not follow good manners" and "lacks morals" (manners and morals degree "0").

[0037] As shown in Figure 10, the tourist spot memory unit 10 can set regulations for each hidden spot, including not only introduction conditions (keywords) but also the required level of manners and morals for introduction. For example, the regulation for the K railroad crossing is "Yes" (manners and morals level "1"), and it will be introduced to tourists who are judged to "obey manners" and "possess morals" (manners and morals level "1"). However, it is not necessary to set introduction conditions (manners / morals) for all hidden spots, and these are optional. The introduction conditions (manners / morals) can also be rephrased as regulations regarding the required level of manners and morals for introduction for each hidden spot.

[0038] Let's explain the processing flow by the information processing device 100 with a specific example. As shown in Figure 11, if the keyword "basketball" is entered in the chatbot dialogue (Step S02, Yes), the information processing device 100 makes a judgment regarding the tourist's manners / morals (Step S05). Specifically, if there is agreement to comply with the ordinance, the information processing device 100 will determine that the tourist "follows good manners" and "has good morals" (Step S05, Yes), and will introduce the hidden spot, K railroad crossing (Step S03). On the other hand, if agreement to comply with the ordinance is refused, the information processing device 100 will determine that the tourist "does not follow good manners" (Step S05, No), and will not introduce K railroad crossing (Step S04).

[0039] Furthermore, the process in step S05 can also be described as the process in which the hidden spot introduction unit 30 selects hidden spots in which the degree of tourist manners and morals (numerical value) falls within a predetermined range, and introduces the selected hidden spots to tourists.

[0040] As described above, the information processing device 100 only introduces K level crossing to tourists who match the introduction criteria (keyword) "basketball" and who are judged to "observe manners" and "have morals." As a result, the tourists who come to K level crossing after being introduced by the information processing device 100 are limited to those who "observe manners" and "have morals," making it possible to mitigate the problem of overtourism.

[0041] [Variant form] For each hidden spot, you may set only the introduction criteria (manners / morals) and not the introduction criteria (keywords).

[0042] Determining whether a tourist "follows manners" or "possesses morals" is not limited to whether or not they agree to comply with regulations. For example, in the profile settings, questions about manners and etiquette can be included, and the degree of a tourist's manners can be determined by their answers to these questions. For example, a question could be, "Do you agree with the statement, 'I will not do anything that would spoil the local scenery'?" A "Yes" answer would be judged as "following manners" and "possesses morals," while a "No" answer would be judged as "not following manners" and "not possessing morals." Furthermore, a tourist who answers "Yes" to half of the 10 questions could be judged as "following manners" and "possesses morals." In addition, in the introduction criteria (manners / morals), the number of questions required to judge a hidden spot as "following manners" and "possesses morals" could be set (for example, introducing a hidden spot to a tourist who answers "Yes" to 9 or more of the 10 questions). Projective techniques can also be applied here. Furthermore, tourists may be required to register for social networking service (SNS) accounts, and their level of manners may be determined based on the content of their posts. Machine learning techniques, natural language processing, large-scale language models, and generative AI may also be utilized.

[0043] [Other forms of variation] The information processing device 100 described above can be modified in various ways. For example, while the K railroad crossing was given as an example of a hidden spot, overtourism problems also occur in Kyoto City, Shodoshima Island, Nara Park, and other locations. Different overtourism problems occur at each tourist spot, and opinions from stakeholders, including local residents, may also differ. Based on the opinions of stakeholders, various introduction conditions can be set.

[0044] Furthermore, even if the opinions of those involved are the same, different referral conditions can be set. For example, in the case of the K railroad crossing, the referral condition could be that the tourist selects the name of a venue where professional basketball league games are held from among the general spots to visit (in short, the tourist's input information includes the keyword "the name of the venue"). In other words, since tourists who select the name of a venue where league games are held as a destination are expected to be interested in basketball, it can be said that this is equivalent to a situation where a tourist answers "basketball" to the question "What sports do you like?"

[0045] Referral conditions can also be used as referral rejection conditions. For example, the number of tourists in a group can be used as a referral rejection condition. That is, a referral rejection condition can be set so that if the number of tourists in a group exceeds a predetermined number, the group will not be referred.

[0046] Referral criteria can be set based on the tourist's travel history. For example, a personal profile could require the tourist to enter previously visited tourist spots. Here, a referral criterion could be that the number of visited tourist spots exceeds a predetermined threshold. Other referral criteria could include a history of participating in environmental protection activities, volunteer work, or community service activities in tourist destinations. Furthermore, each tourist's past referral history could be remembered, and a certain number of referrals could be a referral criterion.

[0047] [Embodiment 3] Complaints from local residents include those stemming from disruptions to daily life caused by the arrival of large numbers of tourists (e.g., congestion, traffic jams). From this perspective, it is considered acceptable to actively introduce even hidden spots to tourists, as long as the number of visitors does not disrupt the daily lives of local residents.

[0048] Therefore, the information processing device 100 may decide whether or not to introduce hidden spots to tourists based on real-time conditions.

[0049] Specifically, the information processing device 100 further includes a real-time status acquisition unit 50, as shown in Figure 12. The real-time status acquisition unit 50 acquires the real-time status of each hidden spot based on real-time images captured by a camera, for example. For example, with respect to the K level crossing as a hidden spot, the real-time status acquisition unit 50 acquires the degree of congestion at the station from images captured by a camera installed at K station. The real-time status acquisition unit 50 also calculates the number of people passing through per predetermined time from camera footage of the pedestrian crossing in front of the level crossing and acquires the degree of congestion.

[0050] The tourist spot memory unit 10 further stores real-time introduction conditions for each hidden spot. For example, regarding the K railroad crossing, the tourist spot memory unit 10 stores a real-time introduction condition that if the congestion level is less than 30%, the K railroad crossing will be introduced as a hidden spot.

[0051] The Hidden Spot Introduction Section 30 introduces selected hidden spots to tourists when their real-time status meets the real-time conditions. For example, if the congestion level at K Station is less than 30%, the Hidden Spot Introduction Section 30 will introduce K Crossing as a hidden spot. On the other hand, if the congestion level at K Station is 30% or higher, the Hidden Spot Introduction Section 30 will not introduce K Crossing as a hidden spot, even to tourists who have entered information indicating that they enjoy basketball.

[0052] As described above, the tourist spot memory unit 10 determines whether or not to introduce hidden spots to tourists in accordance with real-time conditions, thereby limiting the arrival of tourists to an extent that does not disrupt the daily lives of local residents.

[0053] [Embodiment 4] To mitigate the problem of overtourism, it would be useful to increase the number of tourist spots introduced and distribute tourists more evenly. Therefore, it would be good to accept submissions of new tourist spots from local governments and residents.

[0054] Furthermore, the present invention can also be developed as a program that causes a computer to execute processing. For example, the computer, as an information processing device 100, includes memory, a CPU (Central Processing Unit), and an interface, as shown in Figure 13. The memory also functions as a tourist spot storage unit 10. The CPU reads and executes the program of the present invention from the memory, thereby realizing processing modules corresponding to a general spot introduction unit 20 and a hidden spot introduction unit 30.
